AGGIE UPDATE
Senior Brooke Wallace and freshman Dascha Robinson enter this week's meet hot. The two competitors were named the WAC Women's Track & Field Athletes of the Week for Feb. 3-9, as NM State swept the conference's weekly indoor honor for the first time since 2017.

Wallace competed in the 400m race at the UNM Collegiate Classic inside the Albuquerque Convention Center last time out, placing sixth with a new personal-best time of 55.99. Her effort in the event is the third-best time in NM State history and ranks as the top time in the WAC this season.

Robinson, meanwhile, represented the Aggies in the triple jump at the UNM Collegiate Classic, finishing in sixth with a new personal-best distance of 12.45m. The mark ranks first in the WAC by almost a full meter.

Senior Lashira Tremble took home the conference's award for Women's Track Athlete of the Week two weeks earlier after a strong showing at the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Collegiate Invitational in Albuquerque. She set new personal bests in the 60m dash and 200m race, coming across the line in 7.44 seconds and 24.80 seconds, respectively.

Her performance in the 60m dash is the second fastest time in program history, and she owns the event's top time in the WAC this season.
