Margaret Branch Gifts $30K to Women’s Cross Country

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. --- There have been a lot of great days for The University of New Mexico women's cross country team lately, with two NCAA titles in the last three years and two USTFCCCA NCAA Division I Scholar Team of the Year. Today will go down as another great day, and it's due to the generosity of a life-long Lobo.

When Margaret Branch heard that the team needed $30,000 in funding to aid in the purchase of equipment, including treadmills, needed to maintain the high standards for the program, the longtime friend of the university and the athletic department stepped to give the team what it almost never needs; a little help crossing the finish line.
