When Jovahn Williamson arrived in Albuquerque from Harvard University last year, he said he experienced a huge culture shock in his transition from Boston to the Duke City.
He came to the University of New Mexico to run on the track team and enter the 2-year Business Administration program. Yet he knew he could quickly make friends, who became motivators as part of the Lobos’ 4×400-meter relay team. In addition to the change in culture, Williamson had to adapt to his surroundings.
“This was a new experience for me with the dry environment and high altitude,” said Williamson, the second leg on the relay team.
