It may have been raining earlier in the week, but the Lobos are hoping for a bright start to the outdoor season.
The University of New Mexico track & field team opens up its outdoor campaign at the Don Kirby Tailwind Invitational on Saturday as its sprinters, jumpers and throwers compete in the team's only home outdoor meet of the year.
The Lobos, who are also sending a couple of distance runners to the Stanford Invitational on Friday, are looking to gauge where they are as a team when they take the track at the Great Friends of UNM Track & Field Stadium.
