Dems: No funds for DUI blood tests
The Independent Voice of UNM since 1895
ISOTOPE BONDING
by Shaun Griswold shaun24@unm.edu
Gov. Susana Martinez witnessed another one of her legislative priorities fail Saturday in committee. House Bill 49, designed to prosecute individuals arrested for driving under the influence of a controlled substance such as cocaine, methamphetamine and heroin, would have allocated more funding for law enforcement officials to draw blood samples from those suspected of being under the influence of drugs. The bill did not cover marijuana. “This bill would have given us more tools to fight this epidemic, but instead it now sits on a committee table,” Rep. Bill Rehm (R-Albuquerque) said. “I urge those who sit on the House Judiciary Committee

Sustainability chair receives ‘highest honor’ by Alexandra Swanberg aswanny@unm.edu
The Board of Regents selected the endowed chair of a program designed to educate students on sustainable food and agriculture. The W.K. Kellogg Foundation gave UNM $1.5 million in November 2010 to fund an endowed chair in sustainable environmental food systems. Sustainability Studies professor Bruce Milne was selected for the position at Wednesday’s regents’ meeting. “The purpose of the endowed chair
is to promote social, environmental and economic well-being through teaching, research, outreach and economic development focused on sustainable agriculture,” the statement from the foundation said. Milne said he created the UNM Sustainability Studies program to educate students about the environmental, economic and social consequences of their actions. Milne has been instrumental in making UNM a greener institution, said Mary Clark, sustainability coordinator at the Office of Sustainability.
She said, during his UNM career, Milne created energy conservation projects, promoted local food systems education and managed carbon emissions management for the University. “I don’t think we can emphasize enough how much he’s done to bring sustainability to UNM,” she said. William Uher, UNM Foundation vice president, said establishing the endowed chair will help the University acquire faculty. “The endowed chair, from the foundation’s perspective and from our dean’s perspective, it is the highest

honor that the University and the regents can bestow upon a faculty member,” he said. Also at the Board of Regents meeting: At Wednesday’s meeting, the Office for Equity and Inclusion presented the results of an ongoing initiative to diversify UNM’s faculty. Three years ago, the Board of Regents allocated funds to the Office for Equity and Inclusion to hire more faculty members of various racial and ethnic backgrounds. Chalane Lechuga, the Office of

Flames and fireworks shoot from an unidentified car on Redondo Drive on Friday night, in this screen shot taken from a YouTube video. Student David Bjorklund said at 9:30 p.m. Friday he saw fire trucks and a flaming car near Redondo Drive. Five minutes later, he said green fireworks flew out of the car’s window, and later the trunk exploded with flames and fireworks. “It was ridiculous. It was like a whole car on fire,” said student Ethan Kellogg. Student George White recorded the incident and uploaded it to YouTube. The video had 308 hits as of 6 p.m. Sunday, and it can be accessed by searching for “UNM car fire” on YouTube.com

Equity and Inclusion’s institutional researcher, said in more than three years the number of African-American faculty increased by five, American Indian by seven and Hispanics by 27. She said the initiative improved faculty diversity, but more work needs to be done. “We really have a long way to go in terms of looking at faculty across our institution in the various disciplines and figuring out where we might be able to fill in the gaps where we don’t have the kind of representation we’d like to see,” she said.

The Student Fee Review Board is recommending that students keep their pocket change. The board recommended a 31-cent decrease over last year’s fees of $486.80 and will submit those recommendations to President David Schmidly on March 1. At Thursday’s meeting, the board voted to fund the nine recurring organizations with the same amount they received last year. The board must provide recurring organizations with as much or more funding as the year before, except for a probationary cut not exceeding 5 percent. ASUNM Chief of Staff Michael
Thorning said funding groups the same amount they received last year will guard against increasing student fees. “My recommendation represents keeping fees exactly where they are,” he said. “It represents providing stability and predictability for students coming to this University next year.” The motion passed with the four ASUNM board members voting in favor and the three GPSA members voting against. The nine recurring student groups are Student Health and Counseling, Athletics, the SUB, Recreation Services, Libraries, UNM Children’s Campus, Center for Academic Program Support, Student Government Accounting

Don’t let a breakup break you
LETTER So-called herbal alternatives are risky, need regulation Editor, As a lecturer for the psychology department and an instructor of the drugs and behavior class, I was pleased to read that a state senator is looking to regulate and outlaw “Spice” and similar products. These products, including Spice and K-2, are billed as “herbal” and legal alternatives to marijuana. Although legal, the herbal components of these products are often not those listed on the package. German labs tested Spice and could not find the genetic “fingerprints” of the claimed botanical ingredients. What they did find was several synthetic cannabinoids. Professor John W. Huffman, the inventor of many of the synthetic cannabinoids, said this about his own inventions: “People who use it are idiots. You don’t know what it’s going to do to you.” Studies have reported users experienced withdrawal symptoms and even psychosis using these chemicals. In the United States, synthetic cannabinoid HU-210 is listed as a Schedule II drug, along with cocaine and codeine. However, other synthetic cannabinoids (JWH 073) remain unscheduled but are “drugs of interest,” according to the Drug Enforcement Administration. In Canada, all synthetic cannabinoids are the equivalent of US Schedule II controlled substances. Whether marijuana should be legalized to a greater degree than currently is a matter for debate at another time, but the legality of marijuana should not influence the regulation of potentially harmful and addictive substances like Spice and K-2. And, for all you military readers of the Daily Lobo, be aware that possession, use, sale, distribution, etc., of synthetic cannabinoids is a violation of military law and places you in legal jeopardy. The bottom line is, you don’t know what you’re buying since these products are unregulated. They should be banned as a matter of public safety. Eric Jackson UNM faculty
“I’ll keep talking and maybe you’ll just get it.”
by Peggy Spencer, M.D. Daily Lobo Columnist
Dear Dr. Peg, What is the best way of dealing with the depression that occurs after a breakup? Dear Broken Up, The end of a relationship is always painful, no matter what the relationship, how it ended or who ended it. Here is a virtual hug for you. I’m sure you would really like to be on the other side of this transition time, healed up and ready to move on. Unfortunately, there are no shortcuts on the highway to happiness. You can’t get there from here without going through all that is in between. That means you have to hurt before you can heal. I wish you didn’t have to have this pain, but fortunately it doesn’t last. With time, you will mend. You could liken a heart wound to a flesh wound. If you fall and cut yourself, what do you do? First, you say, “Ouch!” Then you examine the wound. You check to see if it’s bleeding, if it might need stitches, if there’s dirt in it. Examine your emotional wound. What does it look like? What does it feel like? Anger, hurt, outrage, sorrow, guilt, regret, relief and grief are just some of the normal reactions to a breakup. You might bounce around from one to the other, or have several feelings at once. My first piece of advice is to go ahead and experience those
feelings. Allow yourself your emotions, painful as they may be. You want to get to the other side of this mess, but you can’t get there without starting here, which means first acknowledging where you are. Understanding and accepting your state of mind and heart starts you on the road to healing. Next, go ahead and say “ouch!” Express your feelings to a friend, to your journal, at least to yourself. Talk, write, sing and emote in your own special way. Get it all out there. I’m not saying take to your bed, close the shutters and cry until you die. Wallowing is unhealthy, but so is stuffing your feelings. Ignoring them won’t make them go away, and the stress of unexpressed emotion can lead to physical and mental health problems. If you don’t have anyone you trust to talk to, call the expertly trained volunteers at Agora, 2773013, or come see a counselor at Student Health and Counseling. You do not need to suffer alone. There is a shoulder for everyone. After you examine a flesh wound, you do some basic first aid. You wash the wound, maybe apply antibiotic ointment, put a bandage on it. This brings me to the third piece of advice: Take care of your lacerated spirit. Be kind to yourself. You have suffered trauma and you need TLC. Rest. Eat well. Exercise. Do things that bring you joy. Revel in the sound of fine music, the warmth of the spring sun, the arms of a good friend. Appreciate the strength in your body and the flavors of a delicious meal. It is good to be alive in this world, and when you have the breakup blues, it is easy to forget that. Consciously remind yourself with your senses. The period after a breakup can be a lonely time. You’re accustomed to having a copilot, and now, all of a sudden, you are flying solo. Reach out. Ask a friend for coffee or the midweek movie. Remind yourself that your ex is not the only person in your life. Friends can help fill that hole left by the absent
one. They can also help you feel good about yourself, something that is often lacking after a breakup. Family is another resource. Give mom a call and let her lay on the warm fuzzies. Your mother loves you, even if your ex doesn’t. Speaking of “ex”, it literally means “out of” in Latin. Hard as it may be to accept, that person is out of your life. Resist the temptation to hound them with texts, e-mails or phone calls. Don’t hang around their Facebook page. It will only prolong your misery, and, face it, that kind of behavior is creepy. You could end up with a cop on your doorstep accusing you of stalking. Don’t pick the scab. Let the ex be ex. Once you have said “ouch” and applied first aid to your scrape, you trust that your body will heal in time. The same goes for a broken heart. Give yourself the basics of care, and you will eventually heal. Like the body, the spirit has remarkable rebound capacity. This might be hard to believe right now, but it is true. While you probably want to analyze the situation to avoid pitfalls in the future, you are probably too close to it now to do that effectively. Breakups are seen most clearly from a distance. That means give it time. Later you can look back at the dynamics and figure out how to do it better next time. Right now you are hurt, and you need to heal. Finally, just as certain wounds of the flesh are too deep to manage at home, sometimes professional help is in order after a breakup. If the ache is too deep or the pain lasts too long, if you’re not functioning how you need to be, get some help. Our counselors can be reached at 277-4357.

to reconsider and vote as they have in the past.” The Legislative Finance Committee said the bill would incur testing costs of more than $190,000. Rehm was one of seven Republicans who supported the measure in the House Judiciary Committee. Eight Democrats voted to table the bill. Most Democrats in the committee said current laws are suitable enough to prosecute individuals. The bill would also require drivers caught behind the wheel with any amount of alcohol in their systems or under the influence of drugs to drive with an ignition interlock for a probationary period. But a legislative report said there is no way to determine if people are on drugs based on their breath.
“This bill would have given us more tools to fight this epidemic, but instead it now sits on a committee table.” ~Rep. Bill Rehm Corruption crackdown Martinez supported a bipartisan effort to create provisions that would allow law enforcement agencies to prosecute corrupt government officials. House Bill 378 contains key provisions that enhance prison sentences for public officials convicted of corruption and prohibits anyone convicted of fraud from lobbying or doing business with the state. The bill would prevent corrupt officials
from receiving their state pensions. “We are sending a clear signal that there will be severe penalties for any public servant who puts their own personal gain ahead of the interests of the people of New Mexico,” Martinez said. “It’s time to treat corruption for what it is — a crime that abuses the public trust and wastes taxpayer money.” Sen. Tim Keller (D-Albuquerque) and Rep. Nate Gentry (R-Albuquerque) sponsored the bill. Several legislators stood behind Martinez during a news conference as she announced her support for the bill. She also supported creating a public corruptions unit within the Department of Public Safety. The measure to crack down on corruption was one of Martinez’s priorities that she outlined during her State of the State speech, and it was a key component of her campaign platform. “Public officials are not above the law,” Martinez said. “Unfortunately, our state’s reputation has been tainted in the past because elected and appointed officials have misused their office for personal gain.” Keller continues fighting corruption Sen. Tim Keller (D-Albuquerque) sponsored legislation that would remove the governor from the State Investment Council, which manages New Mexico’s $15 billion permanent fund. The legislation is in response to a federal investigation into investment deals supported during Gov. Bill Richardson’s administration. The Senate approved the bill 38-2 and sent the bill to the House for consideration. The legislation also changes legislative appointments to the council.

A group of House and Senate leaders appoint legislators to the council who are usually rankand-file party members. Under the bill, House and Senate Democratic and GOP leaders will appoint a member to the council. The proposed changes will take effect in 2013. “The proposed overhaul of the council is to lessen the potential influence of politics on investment decision making,” Keller said.

police officer for a traffic violation and booked into the county jail. He did not have a driver’s license or car insurance. According to online court records, he had three outstanding warrants for failure to appear, all related to unpaid traffic tickets issued in 2008 and 2009. Fees totaled $1,413. Two days after his arrest, Lira Garcia was released to the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and sent to the Otero County Detention Center. A judge set his bond for release at $15,000. His attorney, Amara Aaron, plans to appeal.
NMPIRG requested $80,000, and the board originally motioned to fund NMPIRG at $60,000. Thorning , however, proposed to instead fund it at $52,242 because he said the group still needed to establish itself on campus. Breanna Hastings, NMPIRG’s state and chapter chair, said the organization gives students the resources to campaign for causes of their choice. She said PIRG is running at its minimum capacity with the funding it receives right now. “They (SFRB members) saw over 2,000 signatures on a petition, which said that UNM students supported having an allocation of student fees so that we can actually run our full program,” she said. Thorning said his decision was motivated by keeping student fees stable. “We were treating them the same as all the other groups,” he said. “So if we wanted to increase them, we would have had to increase student fees.” The SFRB recommended giving American Indian Student Services $75,000, African-American Student Services $72,800 and El Centro de la Raza $103,000.
The SFRB allocated one-time funding to several groups, such as Information Technologies and UNM Bands. The board allocated $100,000 to Parking and Transportation Services, under the condition that the city charges PATS less than the allotted amount and that PATS give the remainder back to the SFRB. Japji Hundal, one of the GPSA members on the board, said he was generally pleased with the outcome and collaboration between graduate and undergraduate students. “The bottom line was that both of us are trying to not raise student fees,” Hundal said. “It’s just that our methods were different. Both (groups) are there to have student voices heard. From a graduate point of view, every undergrad is a future graduate to me.” Thorning said this year’s meeting was one of the “best policy decisions” that the board has worked on in years. “We all walked away happy about it,” he said. “This was good government; this was compromise. Groups with similar, and at the same time different, interests came together and did good for the University.”

counting Office and Popejoy Hall. GPSA board member Katie Richardson said the motion met some resistance because it would allocate the majority of student funds in one action. “We’re going to decide $10 million in one chunk and spend the rest of the night on the last $700,000.” Richardson said. “Just think about how much these (recurring) groups are getting from students. It may not increase fees, but it does keep them level.” The board voted to allocate student fees to all but one of the 17 nonrecurring organizations that requested funding. Campus Office of Substance Abuse Prevention will receive no money from student fees, if the board’s recommendations are approved. Thorning said COSAP’s funding should not come from student fees. “It was a state initiative that got put on the University, then the University put it on the students,” he said. “It’s a great program with a lot of potential.” Of the approximately 20 non-SFRB members who came to the meeting, about 10 were student volunteers from N.M.

e k a S & Hometown homers get results Sushi K o lobo softball
by Brandon Call bcall@unm.edu
The UNM softball team put on a hitting clinic over the weekend at Lobo Field. The Lobos used their explosive bats for 32 UNM 1 hits and four long balls en North Colorado 0 route to a th re e - ga m e sweep of Northern Colorado. Sophomore right-hander Kaela DeBroeck punched nine strikeouts in the second leg of Saturday’s doubleheader and held the Bears to five hits. The Lobos came out on top in the 1-0 pitcher’s duel, thanks to freshman second baseman Chelsea Anaya’s eighth-inning, walk-off home run. Head coach Erica Beach said it was important for the team to rebound from its three-game losing streak. The Lobos were swept by Baylor last weekend in Waco, Texas. “No matter who we are facing, we are going to come out firing,” she said. “We came out with a lot of energy and a lot of focus, and we did the little things that we needed to do to get the job done.” UNM climbed to 6-3 on the season, while the Bears fell to 1-8 overall. In the first two games of the series, UNM doubled Northern Colorado’s run total. The
Lobos scored 22 runs to the Bears’ 11. UNM won Friday 11-3 before powering to 11-8 in the first leg of Saturday’s doubleheader. Garcia said winning has the team on an emotional high. “The team is having a lot of fun,” she said. “We put some runs on the board, got the job done and had a lot of fun doing it.” In game one, leadoff batter and junior third baseman Kaity Ingram went 3-for-3 with an RBI, a walk and two runs scored to anchor a Lobo offensive surge, which run-ruled Northern Colorado 11-3 in six innings. Junior designated hitter Jessica Garcia and sophomore right fielder Cassandra Kalapsa notched home runs in the game. Game two was much of the same, as UNM scored 11 runs off 14 hits for the 11-8 win. This time it was sophomore shortstop Stefanie Carramusa’s turn, as she was 2-for-3 from the plate with two RBIs and three runs scored. She also added a long ball for good measure. The Lobos have four batters who are hitting above .400 for the season: Garcia, Ingram, junior first baseman Danielle Castro and junior center fielder Kerry Hodgins. Eight of nine batters in the Lobo lineup are hitting .300 or better, and as a team UNM is .336 from the plate.
“I think we are all seeing the ball really well right now,” Garcia said. “We are focusing on putting the bat to the ball, and that’s how you make good things happen.” UNM’s offense will be put to the test next weekend when it faces Washington in a threegame series at Lobo Field. The Huskies come to Albuquerque with an impressive 8-0 record. Washington also boasts a No. 9 national ranking by USA Softball and a No. 7 mark in the coaches’ poll. As a team, the Huskies are batting .432 from the plate. “It’s going to be tough competition for us,” Beach said. “But part of improving is playing the best teams and seeing where you stack up. I want to see us raise our game to that next level.”

lobo men’s basketball
Gary shines against Cougars by Shaun Griswold shaun24@unm.edu
Congratulate Last Week’s
Lobo Winners!
Dairese Gary has saved his best for last. The UNM men’s basketball team senior guard scored 58 points in his last two games, a career-high 32 points coming in an 80-70 win at TCU that halted the Lobos’ fourUNM 80 game losing streak. Twenty of 70 Gary’s points came in the game’s TCU final 10 minutes. “He’s had a brilliant career,” head coach Steve Alford said. “He’s been a warrior for four years. We’ve been through a tough two-week stretch, but during that two-week stretch, he’s done a great job of leadership, and he’s played really well.” Gary had a previous career-high 26 points during the Lobos’ loss to UNLV, three days before their trip to TCU. For Gary, the Texas trip ended on a better note. “I have more confidence right now knowing that we need some wins, and I am willing to do whatever it takes,” Gary said. “The ball is going in for me now, and my teammates are helping me get some wins.” The Lobos, 18-11 overall and 6-8 in the Mountain West Conference, are in fifth place in the league and will need to put together a strong regular-season finish and likely win the MWC tournament to make the NCAA tournament. UNM’s Ratings Percentage Index is 90, but the Lobos have a chance to move up in the ratings when they face No. 7 BYU on Wednesday in Provo, Utah. The Cougars are on their way to the Mountain West Conference regular-season championship, after an 80-67 rout at No. 6 San Diego State. BYU is positioning itself for a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament. BYU is led by National Player of the Year candidate Jimmer Fredette. Fredette scorched the Lobos for 32 points in the season’s first matchup, but BYU dropped its third straight game to UNM, 86-77. This time, however, things are different for the Lobos. For starters, aside from center Drew Gordon, UNM’s supporting cast has been inconsistent. Take Tony Snell, for example. The freshman guard was the difference-maker against BYU, hitting 4-of-6 from beyond the arc en route to a breakout 16-point performance. He’s scored a combined four points in his team’s last three games.

“I’m kinda going downhill, so I need to pick myself up right now,” Snell said. Snell said communication will be the biggest issue for UNM to overcome if it expects to leave BYU with a win. “We look confused on the court sometimes,” he said. “That comes from not talking on the court. We’re trying to figure that out right now. We talk a lot off the court, but we need to talk more on the court.” The Lobos’ learning curve is a result of youth. Throughout the season, Alford has started three and sometimes four freshmen. Against TCU, the young guys had 10 points. They had eight against UNLV. In the post, forward A.J. Hardeman had his best performance of the season at TCU, a 14-point, 10-rebound outing. “He is playing at a high level,” Alford said. “Like last year, we are a lot better when A.J. is playing better basketball. It’s just trying to find the right combinations at the right time during the game.” UNM could make a late-season run if Hardeman remains consistent, Gordon continues his inside dominance and the underclassmen provide strong play. Largely, how the Lobos fare against BYU will determine if the run will materialize. “It’s going to be hard,” Gary said. “It’s going to be an emotional game and a physical game. BYU plays good on the road, and they play even better at home.” Alford said Gary is two games away from setting a career record for wins as a Lobo, and he wants to ensure his senior’s final games are ones for the record books. “We will do whatever we can to help him get there,” he said. “He’s been an amazing player, and it’s sad he’s down to his last regular-season games of his career.”

and 42 percent shooting from the field were not enough to get a win. Lobo freshman guard Jasmine Patterson and senior forward Amanda Best struggled offensively. Patterson was 0-for-8 from the field and failed to score for the second time this season. Best had nine points, nine rebound and seven assists, but was just 3-of-8 from the field and 1-of-4 from the free-throw line. The duo was instrumental in Wednesday’s road win against UNLV, with Patterson scoring 24 and Best adding 22 points. Taylor said the Lobos didn’t have an answer for Sverrisdottir and Carter. “Sverrisdottir and Carter were the two X-factors in this game,� she said. “If they are both dropping their shots, you’re in for a very long day.�
Cornell Dr
For the first 36 minutes of Saturday’s contest, the UNM women’s basketball team went toe-to-toe with league-leading TCU. But the Lobos were outscored 13-3 down the final 7:13 of the game to lose 84-71 at The Pit. “We played a good offensive game,� freshman forward Morgan TCU 84 Toben said. “It UNM 71 just comes down to making stops, and we didn’t make enough.� UNM dropped to 10-16 overall and 4-10 in Mountain West Conference action, while TCU improved to 20-9 overall and 12-3 in conference. Toben had a career-high five 3-pointers and finished the game with 15 points. Led by senior All-MWC players Helena Sverrisdottir and Emily Carter — who scored 24 and 22 points, respectively — TCU essentially shot down any chance of a Lobo win. The Horned Frogs went 16-of-24 from the field in the second half, including 5-of-8 from the 3-point range. “They were just the better team,� head coach Don Flanagan said. “I
thought we played pretty well and forced them to play well to beat us. We just weren’t quite good enough at the end of the game.� Sverrisdottir scored just five points in the first half, but she was nearly unstoppable in the final minutes. With the game on the line, the native of Iceland hit a 3-pointer with 5:31 left to give TCU a 71-64 lead. “They have incredible scorers,� guard Lauren Taylor said. “You just can’t go back-and-forth scoring with them, because they’re going to wear you out.� Four points from the free-throw line by sophomore guard Caroline Durbin trimmed UNM’s deficit to 71-68 with 4:11 left in the game. But that was as close as the Lobos came, as Sverrisdottir and Carter scored the next six points en route to the 13-point victory. “We got into a shooting contest with a much better shooting team,� Flanagan said. “Carter gave us trouble all day, and Sverrisdottir is just so smart about finding ways to break you down.� Taylor led the Lobo offense with 17 points, tying a career-high with five 3-pointers. Junior forward Porche Torrance added 15 points. But even the Lobos’ 14 three-pointers — one shy of the program record —

TRACKING PROGRESS by Cesar Davila
thousandths of a second in the 60-meter dash, finishing in 6.8 seconds. Sam Evans came up two seconds short when running the mile, finishing in 4:17.44. De’Vron Walker was edged out in the 60-meter hurdles by eight hundredths of a second with a time of 7.99. In the women’s long jump, Alesha Walker leapt 6.20 meters, but finished .14 meters out of first. The men’s and women’s distance relay teams, meanwhile, settled for the two spot. All of the Lobos’ second-place finishes came to BYU and TCU, the two schools that finished the weekend in first and second, respectively. The MWC Championships having concluded, Franklin said his team will turn its attention to preparing for nationals. “(We have to be) resting up and getting ready for the NCAA championships,” Franklin said. “And try to score some points for the Lobos.”
hendrix@unm.edu Three days of running, jumping and throwing in the Mountain West Conference Championships translated to a third-place finish for the UNM track and field teams. The Lobos were propelled by four conference champions and eight second-place finishes over the weekend at the Albuquerque Convention Center. Head coach Joe Franklin said the women’s third-place finish was its best since 2001. “It’s our highest combined finish ever,” he said. “… So we can’t be upset.” In one of the more impressive performances Saturday, Ruth Senior took gold in the 3,000-meter run. She stayed in the middle of the pack for the first nine laps of the 15-lap race before hitting a different gear to finish with a time of 9:45.24, which is an MWC championship mark. Senior could qualify for nationals in the 3,000-meter, and she already qualified to compete in the 5,000-meter run in College Station, Texas, on March 11-12. Senior said she didn’t plan on participating in the event. “I didn’t know I was running the 3K until after the mile,” she said. “It was an interesting surprise.” Second to none, Deanna Young won her first MWC championship in the women’s triple jump with a mark of 13.17 meters. Ross Millington, who finished third in the 3,000-meter relay,

Evans finished second in the race and Bishop finished third. will join Senior and Young in the NCAA finals. Natalie Gray, who didn’t compete because of illness, will also head to nationals. Motivated by her disappointing finish two weeks ago in the 60-meter hurdles, Precious Selmon matched the school record, a record she owns, with a time of 8.41 to take first place in the
event. She also took fourth in the women’s pentathlon and helped the women’s 4x400 meter relay team take the silver medal. Despite a gold finish, there might not be a silver lining for Richard York. York, who was named Athlete of the Meet, racked up 5,533 points and won the heptathlon
event, but he said his score likely isn’t enough to qualify for the NCAA championships. “As soon as I finished,” he said, “everything that went through my mind was what I could have done better to get into nationals.” Lamaar Thomas was among the Lobos’ second-place finishers. He lost by a slim seven

in the 11th. Mares said the team played well in spurts during the course of the eightgame losing streak. “And then we take an inning off or a play off when we have runners on base or the bases loaded,” he said. “I mean, we’ve been playing really good, and we just seem to have that one bad inning. … It’s just that one inning a game that is really killing us right now.” The Lobos opened up the game with six runs in the first two innings off Creighton starter Erik Mattingly. Mattingly pitched 1.1 innings and faced 11 Lobo batters. He gave up six runs on seven hits including four runs in the second. The big hit of the second came from Quay Grant. Grant singled up the middle and scored Kyle Stiner and Sam Wilson. Birmingham said he hasn’t seen baseball played by a Lobo team like this in the four years he has been the head coach at UNM. “Little guys are trying too hard,” he said. “Young kids are trying not to lose rather than win. Now I got guys playing like high-schoolers.”
rtomari@unm.edu Eventually the gloomy weather in Albuquerque cleared, but the day worsened for the UNM baseball team. Up 7-3 heading into the seventh inning of Sunday’s four-game series finale, UNM squandered the lead to Creighton and fell 8-7 in extra innings at Isotopes Park. Creighton second baseman Alex Staehely singled to score Creighton 8 Nick Judkins for the go7 UNM ahead run in the top of the eleventh inning. Judkins reached third after an error from UNM shortstop Alex Allbritton the play before. Head coach Ray Birmingham said there are no excuses for the Lobos’ 0-8 start to the season. “(We’re) a tentative and young ball club, but we’re playing a really good ball club,” Birmingham said. “We should have three out of four games against them, but we didn’t because we’re trying not to mess up instead of winning ball games. Guys are pressing and do silly stuff on their own.” The pressing and silliness didn’t stop throughout the four-game series. The Lobos lost to the Blue Jays on Friday 4-3. Catcher Mitchell Garver was the Lobos’ only offense, driving in all three runs. UNM and Creighton dueled in a double-header Saturday, but dropped both contests. In game two, the Lobos led 4-0 after three innings. But the Blue Jays rallied thanks to a three-run, seventh inning home run by Anthony Bemboom. The Blue Jays won
Junfu Han/ Daily Lobo Jake McCasland winds up on the mound at Isotopes Park on Sunday. The Lobos dropped the three-game home series to Creighton and have lost eight straight games to start the season. 10-6. On Sunday, freshman pitcher Jake McCasland worked six innings and gave up three runs on seven hits. Bobby Mares, who pitched the game’s late innings, said the team’s youth isn’t an excuse. “Being a young club isn’t going to cut it anymore,” he said.
Having a 7-3 cushion, reliever Alexis Garza replaced McCasland in the seventh inning. After some poor defense and pitching, Garza found himself with the bases loaded. Creighton’s Chance Ross scored from second after an error by second baseman Kyle Stiner. Later in the in-
ning, with the bases loaded, Judkins was walked and Jimmy Swift scored to cut the Lobos’ lead to 7-5. Garza didn’t get any outs, gave up the tying run and was replaced by Mares. Mares pitched five innings, giving up only two hits and one unearned run, and he gave up the game-winning run
