ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — The goal for the University of New Mexico track & field team heading into the weekend was to gain momentum for the rapidly approaching postseason.
On Saturday, two Lobos did just that.
Sophie Connor likely secured a bid to the NCAA Championships and Jannell Hadnot tied a school record as New Mexico continued to gain experience for the championship season at the Don Kirby Elite Invitational.
With the Mountain West Championships in two weeks — and the NCAA Championships in a month — the Lobos captured a number of strong marks in their final regular-season home meet, including superlative results from Connor in the mile run and Hadnot in the triple jump.
