LAS CRUCES N.M. - New Mexico State track and field travels to compete at the UTEP Invitational on Saturday, March 22.

"We look forward to our second meet of the season at Kidd Field on the UTEP campus. As this is the closest meet there is for our team, it provides a great opportunity for many parents and fans to see our athletes in action," interim co-head coach Larry Carmichael said.
