LAS CRUCES, N.M. - After a canceled 2020 outdoor season and a 2021 indoor season due to COVID-19, the NM State track & field team will begin its eight-meet outdoor schedule on Mar. 19-20 at the Willie Williams Classic in Tucson, Ariz. 

Following the Willie Williams Classic, the Aggies will then head to San Diego, Calif., for the Aztec Invitational on Mar. 26-27. The Aggies will have two straight meets in the state of Texas with the West Texas A&M Classic in Canyon, Texas, on Apr. 2-3 and the Masked Rider Open in Lubbock, Texas, on Apr. 9-10. NM State will head back west for the Bryan Clay Invitational in Azusa, Calif., before heading to the annual Don Kirby Tailwind Invitational in Albuquerque, N.M., on the campus of New Mexico. The Aggies will end the regular season at the Desert Heat Classic in Tucson, Ariz., before heading to WAC Championships in Edinburg, Texas, on May 13-15.

The Aggies are coming off its first ever Indoor WAC Championship in 2020, as they return 25 athletes from the 2020 indoor team. Sophomore Dascha Robinson will lead the Aggies in the jumps for the outdoor season, as she took home gold in the 2020 WAC Indoor Championships in the triple jump. Junior Jess Dominguez will lead the Aggies' distance crew, as she took gold in the 3,000m at the 2020 WAC Indoor Championships. She will get some help though, as senior Corinne Hanson had a phenomenal start to her spring in the condensed cross country season. Hanson finished fourth at the Dave Murray Invitational and ran a personal-best at the WAC Championships to finish fifth.
