🔼  Back On Track. The track and field team is New Mexico bound for the UNM Indoor Open this weekend. The Spartans started the season strong in Washington two weeks ago and look to build off that performance. Emilia Sjostrand will make her indoor-season debut, coming off an All-American season. Demaris Waters holds the 18th-best 60m hurdle time in the nation. The meet will take place today and tomorrow.

🔼 Academic Excellence. The men’s soccer team was solid on the field and in the classroom last fall. Six players were named to the 2023 Academic All-WAC Team for fall sports — Jamal Adam, Kasper Poulsgaard, Josh Redfield, Sebastian Ruiz-Hurst, Riccardo Scarafia, and David Sweeney. This is the fifth Academic All-WAC honor for Josh and David. To qualify, student-athletes must have played in 50% of contests and register a 3.2 GPA or higher.

🔼 Saturday’s Double Feature. Both Spartan basketball teams have conference games tomorrow! The women’s team tips-off at Colorado State at noon as they chase a Mountain West win. The Spartan men will host UNLV at the Provident Credit Union Event Center at 6 pm. You can purchase tickets here or tune in live on FS1.
