The University of New Mexico football team held its Night of Champions weightlifting competition event Monday at the weight room inside the Tow Diehm Facility.
Monday also turned out to be a night of huge improvement.
The Lobos had a total of 30 lifts match or better previous max performances. Last year, that total was 18.
Adam Gay, a UNM offensive lineman, highlighted the evening with a 610-pound squat, obliterating his previous best, which was 565 pounds.
Gay was one of 20 football players to compete in the Night of Champions that included eight players in the clean, and six players each in the bench and squat.
