Republican candidates: fix budget, create jobs by Leah Valencia Daily Lobo
Junfu Han / Daily Lobo Christen Naus shows her appreciation for a welcome-back gift from her son, Mason, at the Albuquerque International Sunport on Friday. Naus returned from Haiti with the NM Disaster Medical Assistance Team — which employs the services of six UNM doctors — after two weeks in Port-Au-Prince.
Doctors return with news from Haiti by Shaun Griswold Daily Lobo
Six UNM doctors returned home after providing pediatric, surgical and obstetrician care to earthquake victims in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. In collaboration with the National Emergency Medical System, the New Mexico Disaster Medical Assistance Team sent a team on its first international deployment. The NMDMAT is located in a mobile medical
compound in Haiti’s capital and are protected by the US 82nd Airborne Division. Thousands of refugees living in tents surrounded the outside perimeters of the compound where the team worked and slept. “We saw over 4,000 patients,” said Mike Richards, the NMDMAT leader said. “Most of our patients came from the tent city next door. Even though they lived on campgrounds, the people would come see us wearing their very best. It was moving.”
The disaster team replaced another medical response team finishing their deployment. From the air, the crew was greeted by a series of scattered buildings that collapsed during the earthquake. The immediate transition left no time for rest as the team began their first 12-hour shift once they got on the ground, said Team Commander Byron Piatt. “First thing we did was to get our gear and get on the bus to the camp. We started working once the bus
arrived to the base,” he said. Much of the crew offered general medical assistance to help out any way they could. “We delivered several babies, assisted critical care, diagnosed chicken pox, dehydration (and) amputations, and offered follow-up care for the injured and sick,” Richards said. Providing medical care to children was the most moving

Republicans had the opportunity to raise their hands and voices Saturday in a public forum with Republican gubernatorial candidates. Four of the five candidates — Janice Arnold-Jones, Pete Domenici Jr., Doug Turner and Allen Weh — attended the forum hosted by the Albuquerque Tea Party. Absent was Susana Martinez, who was excused for a family emergency. ATP board member Patricia Morlen said the ATP hosted the forum — attended by more than 350 community members — to help educate the community on what is happening in government and how it affects them. “These things do matter and I think for too long the average citizen didn’t get up and speak,” she said. On June 1, the winner of the Republican primary election will face incumbent Lt. Gov. Diane Denish, the only competing Democrat. Each candidate was asked five questions on issues of interest to the ATP, such as fiscal responsibility and limited government. The remainder of time was spent answering questions from the audience. All the candidates agreed that the main initiatives of the new governor would be fixing the state budget and creating jobs. Weh said he planned to divide the budget into two parts: “need to have and nice to have.” He said the simple solution is not to spend more than you make, which is a big change from Gov. Bill Richardson’s administration. “We are going to be in a declining-income period for the next couple years, until we can turn the economy around,” he said. “It’s like the sink rate of an airplane. You can pull the throttle back but you’re still going to be sinking for a little bit until the aerodynamics come into play.” The candidates also agreed that

Teens fast and fundraise in the name of world hunger by Tricia Remark Daily Lobo
More than 360 Albuquerque teens went hungry this weekend to fundraise for a national nonprofit organization. The teenagers stopped eating after lunch on Friday and went without meals until 6:30 p.m. Saturday. Part of a nationwide effort, the high school students joined about 500,000 teenagers to raise money for World Vision, a Christian relief organization.

According to a World Vision press release, half a million teens nationwide participated in the 30-hour fast to experience the hunger that poor families are often faced with every day. “I think the biggest thing about it is raising awareness that we’re not just in a little America bubble,” Stevens said. “There is a whole lot of the world out there who needs help.” The fast was created by World Vision to fight poverty. The nonprofit has hosted the “30-hour famine” campaign for 19 years, according to a World Vision press release.

Melissa Stevens, who volunteered for the fast through Immanuel Lutheran Church, took on the 30-hour fast with nine of her fellow teenage churchgoers. The group also traveled to Good Shepherd Shelter to serve lunch on Saturday. “I thought it was eye-opening,” Stevens said. “We just got to see how many people really are homeless.” Teens from Immanuel have been participating in the 30-hour fast for 11 years, said youth group leader Mary Halberg. She said
this year the teens raised more than $1,000 to donate to World Vision. The money was raised solely by the teens, who collected money from various sponsors, Halberg said. Teens across the nation hope to donate a total of $12 million this year, the press release said. A portion of the money will be donated to Haiti relief efforts, including food and the construction of eight medical clinics and a

news in brief CONCEPCION, Chile— Heroism and banditry mingled on Chile’s shattered streets Sunday as rescuers braved aftershocks digging for survivors and the government sent soldiers to quell looting. The death toll climbed to 708 in one of the biggest earthquakes in centuries. In the hard-hit city of Concepcion, firefighters pulling survivors from a toppled apartment block were forced to pause because of tear gas fired to stop looters, who were wheeling off everything from microwave ovens to canned milk at a damaged supermarket across the street. Efforts to determine the full scope of destruction were undermined by an endless string of terrifying aftershocks that continued to turn buildings into rubble. Officials said 500,000 houses were destroyed or badly damaged, and President Michele Bachelet said “a growing number� of people were listed as missing. “We are facing a catastrophe of such unthinkable magnitude that it will require a giant effort� to recover, Bachelet said after meeting for six
hours with ministers and generals in La Moneda Palace, itself chipped and cracked. She signed a decree giving the military control over security in the province of Concepcion, where looters were pillaging supermarkets, gas stations, pharmacies and banks. ANCHORAGE, Alaska— Police on Sunday were looking for a suspect in a shooting at an Anchorage mall who may have been wearing a wig and fake mustache when a 29-year-old man was gunned down outside a barber shop. Police said Edwing Matos was shot multiple times at the Dimond Center mall in south Anchorage Saturday. Officers were called to the scene just before 6:30 p.m., and Matos was rushed to a hospital, where he died. According to police, an off-duty Alaska State Trooper tackled a man fleeing the scene. The man was taken to Anchorage Police headquarters for questioning and released, police said Sunday. Homicide detectives interviewed more than a dozen witnesses.
Police said that initial interviews at the mall indicated the shooting was connected to gangs. However, they said Sunday that they had no indication that a gang was involved. Witnesses told police a man wearing a wig and fake mustache was involved, and he was wearing an oversized, white sweat shirt and a white baseball hat. Police said they are reviewing video surveillance at the mall and detectives are continuing their investigation. The Dimond Center mall attracts more than 12 million visitors a year.

SAN DIEGO— Authorities are searching for a San Diego teen who failed to return from a run near a lake Thursday. More than 1,000 volunteers gathered Sunday to help police and sheriff’s deputies look for 17-year-old Chelsea King, a high school senior. Authorities say her BMW was found at a park near Lake Hodges and investigators are trying to determine if the disappearance is connected to a Dec. 27 assault on a woman in the same area.

Domenici, Jr. boasted that according to a current Public Policy Polling survey, he is indicated to be the best contender against Denish, trailing by 5 percentage points. However, a recent straw poll in Clovis showed Martinez as the Republican frontrunner. Morlen said the ATP plans to have similar forums for both the Republican and Democratic candidates for lieutenant governor and other county offices. “It is a matter of pushing forward and continuing to get people involved,� she said. “If we never try then we can never change anything.�

pharmacy, according to the press release. The Immanuel youth group agreed the fast was difficult, but it was a worthwhile learning experience. “Personally, I’ve never done this before,� said Miles Martin, a youth group member. “But I think I would do it again for the experiences and how much we bonded with each other. We learned a lot over this period of time.� Tiana Moore, another youth group member, said the group learned that malnutrition and preventable diseases are still a huge problem worldwide. “We think of illnesses as something completely different than the battle it is in different countries,� she said.

She said UNM has a big role to play in the state. “We can’t treat our university system like a jobs program. It needs to be revered and held out like an educational system of excellence,â€? Arnold-Jones said. “As long as we treat it as if it is the largest employer in any of our small towns ‌ then we lose our focus.â€? Weh also offered a couple of suggestions relevant to UNM. “Our flagship University has been tarnished recently,â€? he said. “I am going to pay attention to the problems at UNM and work with the Board of Regents to insist that there is fiscal responsibility down there, and that there is money going to pay

experience for some of the doctors, said Kevin Napp, administrative officer for NMDMAT. “There were many children that were very sick,� Napp said. “We would provide care for babies who had not been seen since they were born three weeks before at home. It was great to hear the babies crying in the morning when we waited for someone to deliver in the evening.� Piatt said many children in Haiti had to fend for themselves. “It was tough seeing some of the kids coming into the clinic by themselves,� Piatt said. “Generally they were orphans or had to take care of themselves.� The lack of proper shelter was a serious concern for the doctors, said Dr. Christine Jordan. “What they really need are tents.
I gave mine away before I left. Some of our interpreters didn’t even have tents for their families. They don’t have anywhere to go for care,� Jordan said. “One lady came to the compound after hours and was ready to give birth. We could only give her a tent, but that seemed to be all she wanted.� With the experience of their first international response behind their back, the crew learned that crossing national boundaries does not change the primary mission of DMAT’s on-the-ground response. “It’s the same in that your media carriers are wiped out, your infrastructure is taken down, and the people are trying to come back to normal,� Piatt said. “That’s really our job, to help people get back to normal.�

LAST WEEK’S POLL RESULTS: CNN recently reported that Pennsylvania parents are suing their son’s school — alleging the school watched him through a school-district issued laptop’s webcam while he was at home and unaware he was being observed. It is unclear whether the boy was doing anything in his room that was illegal or whether the school issued any punishment. Do you feel this is an unlawful invasion of privacy or is there something that warrants the spying? No matter if he was selling drugs or killing babies, the fact that a school 81% was spying on a student in their home is illegal. It is property of the school. They can use it how they please. 7% I can see how you might think it was unlawful, but what is the difference 7% between that and a computer monitored in the school library? What if he was killing babies or sell- 5% ing drugs? Wouldn’t you want to catch him? The children, think of the children!
THIS WEEK’S POLL:
Unemployment rates are high and unlikely to fall anytime soon. With millions of jobless Americans facing unemployment for an uncertain amount of time, religion seems to be the source of inspiration to continue onward. The New York Times printed a story about a born-again former X-rated standup comic in this very same situation. She said she has gone two years without a paycheck or unemployment, and that Christianity is her only health insurance. Do you see a significant rise of stories like this in your life? Yes, I have noticed a lot of people turning to religion in this time of need.

Daily Lobo columnist Dear Dr. Peg, How can someone know if they have “clinical bad breath” or halitosis? Dear Hal, If anonymous well-wishers leave bottles of mouthwash around your room, and the police call you on a regular basis to help disperse crowds, you might take a hint. But otherwise, do you have a really good friend? Or a sibling who won’t punch you? Go breathe in their face and see what they say. I’m actually serious about that last suggestion. It is very hard to detect our own odors. Our noses get used to what we smell like, so it might take a brutally honest friend to let us know when our aromas are less than pleasing. Or you can spring for a device called a Halimeter, which detects toxic gases in your breath. Yes, they really make such a thing. Who knows, one of these days I might even be able to answer your question with, “There’s an app for that!” Foul breath has been around ever since cavemen gnawed raw bones. It is discussed in the Jewish Talmud, the Christian Bible and ancient Greek and Roman writings. Other terms for bad breath are fetor oris and oral malodour. The term “halitosis” was actually made up by the
Listerine company from Latin and Greek words back in 1921. Do you think they succeeded in creating a market for their product? We all have unpleasant breath at times, but some people think they do when they actually don’t. This is a real condition called halitophobia, or fear of bad breath. This could be you, Hal. Again, ask your pals. Bad breath has a number of possible causes. When air passes into our bodies and back out, it goes through the mouth and nose into the lungs, where it exchanges gas with the blood, trading oxygen for carbon dioxide. Then it flows back out through the nose and mouth. Any of these sites can be a source of stench. Let’s take them one at a time. The most common cause of bad breath is bacteria in the mouth. I’m talking about the nasty kind of bacteria, with 5 o’clock shadows and mismatched socks. These grungy outcasts don’t even breathe oxygen. That’s why your breath is worse in the morning; they’ve been partying in your closed mouth all night. First they root through the alleys between your teeth, munching on stuck chunks of proteinaceous leftovers. Then they kick back in the lowlife lounge at the back of your tongue, slurping postnasal mucous, and having a contest to see who can emit the most noxious gases. Charming, eh? Now if that doesn’t get you to brush and floss, I don’t know what will. Brushing and flossing removes the food and protein debris from your mouth, so the bacteria have nothing to thrive on. Do it twice a day. Demolish the lowlife lounge, too, by cleaning your tongue with a soft brush or a tongue scraper. Finish up with a hearty deep throat gargle to wash away the last of the
wreckage. Mouthwash, gum and mints might temporarily cover up odor, but you have to mechanically remove the rubble to really freshen your breath. Beyond regular everyday bad breath, a dry mouth or a diseased mouth or nose can be a problem. Infection of tooth, gum or sinus will cause halitosis. Drink plenty of water, stay as healthy as you can and treat infections properly. Consider rinsing your sinuses on a daily basis like you do your mouth. You can get a sinus rinse bottle or a neti pot at any pharmacy. Getting back to the journey of air into and out of the body, the lungs themselves can be a source of bad odor. This is because the lungs get blood, and blood gets everything. If you eat garlic or onions, they get absorbed into the blood, which delivers their unique aroma to the lungs, which outgas it to your friends through your breath. Same with other foods — alcoholic drinks, coffee and some medications. You’ll be glad to hear, however, that there is evidence that a high-fiber diet can improve your breath. Hit the salad bar and fruit bins often. Besides the blood, there are the lungs themselves. Smoke in, smoke out. Tobacco smoke might taste good to you on the way in, but it reeks on the way out. Lastly, since breath, via the blood, contacts every part of your body, diseases of other body parts can give you the vicious vapors. Diabetes, cancer and maladies of the lungs, gastrointestinal system or kidneys can all be culprits. Good luck, Hal, and thanks for writing. Peggy Spencer is a board-certified family physician.

Cougar home advantage broken by Mario Trujillo Daily Lobo
Last season, the UNM men’s basketball team captured a share of the Mountain West Conference championship with a win in its final game of the season. Saturday, the Lobos sealed that title a game earlier, with an 83-81 win against BYU in Provo, Utah. “We are playing well,� said head coach Steve Alford. “We have won back-to-back titles. So now it is time to party in The Pit on Wednesday.� The Lobos halted the Cougars’ 21game home win streak on the back of Darington Hobson (20 points), Roman Martinez (15 points) and Dairese Gary (23 points). The Lobos pulled off their 13th conference win in a row in front of more than 22,000 people. “It was really just so loud that I didn’t know what to think — everybody yelling and stuff,� Gary said. “We just tried to keep our composure down the stretch. We kept saying, ‘We were going to win the game.’ And that was the only thing in my mind.� The Lobos also beat BYU, 76-72, inside The Pit on Jan. 27. But away from home, the Lobos were labeled
an eight-point underdog. BYU point guard and MWC star Jimmer Fredette played just sixteen minutes because of a stomachache. Alford said that BYU didn’t lose a lot with Michael Loyd Jr. subbing in. “Well, the kid that subbed for him scored 19 in one half,� Alford said. “So I think the only time Fredette has done that was at Arizona. You can always play the hypothetical games, but when you are playing basketball and winning championships, hypothetical doesn’t come into it.� There is nothing hypothetical about the Lobos share of the MWC title, but they can become the lone title-holder with a win on Wednesday. Last year, the Lobos shared the title with BYU and Utah. And Alford said the normally unselfish Lobos need to change their mindset when it comes to the title. “Last night, we talked about being a little more selfish,� Alford said. “Let’s win this thing outright. We have got one more game to go. And let’s not share it with anybody. So hopefully the team, over the next (48) hours, gets a little more selfish.� Alford said that he is only focused on the conference title and
the conference tournament. He will let the NCAA tournament shake out as it may. “We haven’t even talked about seeding,� Alford said. “The team knows that. We have really been driven to win a conference championship. It’s a two-and-a-half-month deal. We went into the league 0-2, and now we have a chance to rip off 14 in a row.� But he said that their road record and record against ranked opponents will serve them well later in March. “We are 10-2 on the road. We are 6-0 (against ranked opponents),� Alford said. “There are very few teams that are undefeated against ranked opponents, and we are one of them. We just have to wait and see how it all falls out. Those are pretty impressive stats, I think.� Hundreds of fans thought so, welcoming the Lobos home at the Albuquerque Sunport Airport on Sunday afternoon. “These fans amaze us at every turn, kind of like this team,� Alford said. “This team has been amazing. I honestly believe that the fans are the ones who make this team who they are. They love playing so hard because of people like this.�

Profane pep talk pumps up players by Isaac Avilucea Daily Lobo

Teeming with pride, the UNM baseball team was still, apparently, making a Texas toast to themselves. Briefly, the Lobos dawdled with Northern Colorado, a team they beat handily last season by a combined three-game score of 46-9. In the end, it cost UNM dearly. Missing out on a four-game sweep, the Lobos took three games from the Bears, storming to an eighth-inning comeback in which they scored all seven runs on Friday to win 7-5, before notching a 5-2 victory in the first leg of Saturday’s doubleheader. The second leg, though, was decidedly

opening up an 3-0 first-inning lead on the bats of Rafael Neda, Chris Juarez and Kenny Held. With the help of a four-run fifth inning, the Lobos held a 10-2 lead. On the mound, Bobby Mares, in his first appearance of the season, went five innings, faced 21 batters, struck out three and only allowed three hits and two runs. Mares’ only mistake came in the top of the third, when he gave up a solo home run to Tyler Borzileri. Mares said he couldn’t have asked for a better opening-season performance. “Besides the home run I gave up, no,� he said, explaining what happened on that offering. “I tried

different. UNM lost 6-5, setting the stage for an angry drubbing on Sunday, in which the Lobos battered Northern Colorado 13-5. Still, in a game that needed 10 innings to settle on Saturday, the Lobos stranded runners, leaving the bases juiced, while grounding into a double play to seal their fate, 6-5. Afterward, Ray Birmingham slammed down the iron-fisted hammer in the locker room. “Despite the flu, I gave them everything I had,� he said. “I can’t tell you (what I said). It might have made Bobby Knight blush, let me tell you that.� Whatever the Lobos’ head coach barked, it worked. The Lobos jumped on the Bears early,

Emanuel
NEW MEXICO DAILY LOBO
Baseball
from PAGE 12
“I was doing everything I could — drinking Pedialyte, taking these weird salt baths, rubbing stuff into my feet,” Emanuel said. “I don’t know what it was.” Soup sessions and superstitious ceremonies later, Emanuel’s sickness was cured. But Saturday night, he was shaking off a debilitating case of insomnia, eyes heavy as an anvil, Sunday’s one-mile competition saturating his thoughts. “I had a terrible night sleep (that) night,” Emanuel said. “I haven’t slept for about four days, for some reason. But it doesn’t seem to bother me.” Emanuel is, Franklin said, the ultimate competitor. Two years ago, Emanuel would have been hard pressed to compete in more than
one event, let alone in the same day. “Oh, no way,” Franklin said, chuckling. “He couldn’t have done it last year.” Emanuel concurred. “I tried it two years ago, and I came in last in the 800,” he said. “Compared to where I was two years ago, I’m a completely different athlete.” Franklin said subtle changes made a dramatic difference. “At that level, it’s the little things that make the difference,” Franklin said, like eating right, sleeping and “making sure you wash your hands.” Those everyday tasks are, to Franklin, why Emanuel has outclassed everyone he has faced thus far. It’s why he can race in
difficult events back-to-back, Franklin said. “He recovered very quickly,” Franklin said. “His body can rebound very quickly. It set the stage for us to get third in the meet. To come back and gut it out, he had to really dig deep that last 50.” But, Franklin said, Emanuel’s potential seems bottomless. He is attune to his body and what it’s capable of doing more than any other athlete, he said. “You know when you have that extra gear?” he said. “He’s a guy that has that big-time gear. There’s not a lot of people around that have that gear.” Which means competitors, gear up.

to get a strike and I threw it right over the middle of the plate, and he crushed it.” For the better part of the day that was the only mistake the Lobos made. This was probably because, Mares said, UNM didn’t want to have to endure another speech-from-hell session in the locker room. Alluding to the ear-pounding speech Birmingham laid on some Lobos’ virgin ears after Saturday’s letdown, Mares said, maybe UNM didn’t take the Bears seriously enough. “We haven’t played well since Texas. (Northern Colorado) competed all four games,” he said. “We didn’t really compete the first three games but we ended up winning. To come out hot, right off the bat — we needed that.” Mares said he and the Lobos would rather learn that lesson early in the season than later. “We can’t just expect to show and beat everybody we play,” he said. “Last year, I heard they just

from PAGE 5 destroyed them. Maybe we thought it’d be the same thing. Maybe we thought we could just show up and beat them.” The Lobos sprayed 20 hits on Sunday, but Birmingham said, overall, some of his hitters were impatient throughout the course of the fourgame series. “Early in the season, when you have a young club, everybody’s trying to hard to hit, and the pitchers are just trying to get you out,” Birmingham said. “No matter how much you practice, they get emotional to start the season. It’s like Christmas morning with 8-year olds. They scatter all the presents. If you don’t grab, they’ll rip them up, throw the stuff everywhere.” Birmingham conceded that, though the Bears “can beat Pac 10 teams,” UNM should probably have swept the Bears. Still, he said, it was a good lesson. “Do I want to win all of them? Yes,” Birmingham said. “A loss sometimes is good. I thought that one was good. Obviously, it pissed them off.”

lobo women’s basketball
Senior stand stunts Cougars by Mario Trujillo Daily Lobo
For four seniors, Saturday was the last game they would play at The Pit. Amy Beggin, Jessica Kielpinski, Valerie Kast and Georonika Jackson finished the afternoon the same way they started — with a 16-3 run. That, coupled with BYU’s appalling shooting, propelled the UNM women’s basketball team to a 62-30 win inside The Pit on Saturday. “We did a good job of getting out to a good start, and then we did a good job of not letting them back in the game,” said senior point guard Beggin. “We really executed well today and really finished it well. So, that is something we have to continue to do if we want to be successful.” The Lobos (17-10, 9-6 Mountain West Conference) remain in for fourth place in the MWC standings with TCU (11-3), BYU (9-5) and Utah (9-5) in front of them. With only one game before the MWC tournament, head coach Don Flanagan said it will make the ride a lot easier if the Lobos can sneak into the No. 3 spot. “It does matter what seed you are if you are one, two or three, because you have a little bit better road,” he said. “But if you are four through nine, it is a tough road to get through.” The top two teams don’t play until the semifinal round, while the third seed gets a first-round

goodbye in the tournament. While the only thing that can help their seeding now is another win, the Lobos did all they could to send a message to the conference that they can throttle any team. The Lobos jumped out to a 7-0 lead to start the game. After seven grueling minutes, the Cougars scored their first basket. UNM jumped out to an 18-3 lead, then a 23-5 lead and went into the break with a 30-11 lead. BYU (18-8, 9-5 MWC) struggled from the field, making only three field goals (all layups) in the first half. The other five points came from the free-throw line. Aside from shooting 3-of-23 from the field and missing all nine
of their 3-point attempts, the Cougars gave the ball away 12 times in the first half. Flanagan said the Lobos had something to do with that. “Basically, we defended their shooter and didn’t give them any good looks,” Flanagan said. “I mean, they didn’t get a lot of good looks. We got over screens, around screens, under screens — anything we could do. We switched at times, hedged at times and talked at times. And that was pretty much successful.” But knowing the inconsistencies of this season’s team, Flanagan said he is worried going into the locker room with a large lead. “This year, when we are up 19 at
halftime, I am scared, because we usually come out in the first four minutes and don’t score,” Flanagan said. “But at half time what you are trying to do is tell them that the game is not over. And a lot of times, you get a big lead like that and kids kick back.” As it turned out, the Lobos could have kicked back the rest of the way on offense. BYU had to claw its way just to get to 30 points, a score the Lobos took into halftime. BYU ended the night stuck at 30, shooting 18.4 percent — both season lows. The Cougars hit only nine field goals. They had five lay ups, four 3-pointers and eight free throws. They didn’t hit a

mid-range jump shot all night. Even so, the Lobos never let mercy prevail. Leading 46-27 with eight minutes left, the Lobos unleashed an onslaught of 3s, extending the margin even further. Their largest lead of 32 didn’t come until the end of the game. Kielpinski ended with a game-high 14 points. Sara Halasz had 12. And Kast — the 6-foot 6-inch center — had eight points, including a 3-pointer late in the game. “It was a very exciting game,” Kast said. “Maybe that was the reason I was overly excited to shoot the basketball. I wanted to finish my season at The Pit on a really good note, and I think we accomplished that as a team.”

Junfu Han / Daily Lobo The men’s cycling team takes a corner during their criterium event at Mesa Del Sol on Sunday. The club team is trying to increase its membership after a steep drop in membership in past years.
Club cycling team gaining momentum by Sean Gardner Daily lobo
Welcome to the world of road cycling, where millimeters and seconds make a huge difference. UNM Cycling Team President, John Heine, has been a part of the team for a year and wants cycling to get stronger in the community. “The club has been around on and off for years and years and years and was around in the early 90s,” Heine said. “It sort of went into decline between 2005 and 2009. It was sort of iffy.” With that said, the UNM Cycling Team, a club squad with 30 members, seems to be on the fast track toward re-energizing the sport locally. The Lobos hosted the Lobo Classic at Mesa Del Sol Amphitheatre parking lot over the weekend. This is the second race on the Southwestern Collegiate Cycling Conference calendar. UNM competes in the SWCCC, and this race counts toward USA Cycling points. Competing in the event was the University of Arizona, New Mexico State and UNM. The two-day event consisted of a time trail and criterium. The criterium, which took place on Sunday, is determined by a total time or number of laps, in which case the number of remaining laps is calculated as the race progresses. The winner is the first rider to cross the finish line without having been “lapped.” Success in road criterium requires a mix of technical skills, like the ability to turn corners smoothly, Heine said, in addition to riding safely with a large group on a short track. Many riders, Heine said, have to learn when to attack other competitors and repeatedly accelerate hard out of a turn.
And riders had an opportunity to tune their skills in the two-day event. In the collegiate A category, Lobo Matthew Beck finished first with a time of 15:23.52 in the time trial, followed by his teammates Chris Smithwick (15:52.19) and Michael Robinson (15.55.32). Beck, among four Lobo competitors, finished strongly on Sunday, coming in first place in the criterium. “My strategy today originally was to hang back in the pack and block for the other guys,” Beck said. Cedric Bosch, a cyclist from Arizona with two years of experience, recognized the challenge he faced. “I knew that there was two of us and four UNM guys, so I knew that they were going to do some attacks and have to cover them, and that’s what happened,” Bosch said. “(They) went hard from the start line.” Many riders are new to the sport, while others, like Beck, have been riding for many years. “My step dad kind of got me on the bike when I was playing golf at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, California,” Beck said. “Then I came back to UNM to finish my undergrad. I started racing and became addicted to it.” On the women’s side, Katya Hafich squeezed by in collegiate B with a time of 19:59.31, beating University of Arizona’s Erin Lauterbach (20:00.08). Hafich, one of four women on the team, said the Lobos need more women to join the team. Either way, Heine said, the event was successful. “The team was real strong and with athletic riders. We definitely had a few people working as a team,” he said. “I think in the future we’ll try to get more teamwork out of each other.”

Long-distancers bolt down the track at the Mountain West Conference Indoor Championships on Saturday.
Mile shoo-in bags unexpected 800m by Isaac Avilucea Daily Lobo
As humdrum stories go, this one seemed to have an especially foreseeable conclusion. As expected, Lee Emanuel, the defending NCAA indoor mile champion, glazed the one-mile field of competitors at the Mountain West Conference Indoor Championships inside the Albuquerque Convention Center Saturday, racing to first place with a time of 4:05.85 (4:00.53 altitude-adjusted) and smashing the previous Mountain West Conference record of 4:10.04. His time was more than enough to qualify for NCAA Preliminary Rounds, setting the stage for a possible repeat as NCAA mile champion. What he did next, however, was astounding. Returning a mere 40 minutes later to race in the 800-meter run, Emanuel surged late in the race, overcoming a short turnaround while chipping away at late leader BYU’s Brian Weirich.
In all, Emanuel finished with three gold medals, the first coming on Friday in the distance medley relay. The storybook endings came on Saturday. Emanuel started at the back of the pack during the 800-meter run, in ninth place. Then, suddenly, he shifted — like a lion chasing down an antelope. As he pursued Weirich, Emanuel’s sluggish steps turned into a spurt of sonic speed. “I could see that he was struggling at the end,” Emanuel said. “I had the momentum coming off the bend, and I just flew. When I got that close to the end, I felt that I had it.” The finish line fast approaching, fatigue bogged Wierich down. Emanuel drew even, then past, as Weirich receded into the background. This wasn’t supposed to happen. Emanuel wasn’t supposed to be so sure-footed. He just jaunted through the mile event, punctuating it with a record finish. “To come back and run an 800 like he did is outstanding,” Lobo
Junfu Han / Daily Lobo Lee Emanuel, center, drifts during the 3,000-meter run at the Albuquerque Convention Center on Saturday. Emanuel dropped out of the 3,000-meter midway through. Emanuel won two events, including the mile run, and looks to defend his NCAA championship in two weeks at the NCAA Preliminary Round. head coach Joe Franklin said. “He’s proven himself to be one of the better milers in the country.”
A few days before, Emanuel was fighting a head cold, the most antagonizing, lung-sapping impediment
to a runner.

Injury never stopped pentathlete from reaching new heights by Ryan Tomari Daily Lobo
Never in her wildest dreams did Sandy Fortner envision the last year of her college career to be such a wild and bumpy ride. Fortner, a Fort Sumner native, returned to the top of the peak at the Mountain West Conference Indoor Championships during the women’s high jump on Friday at the Albuquerque Convention Center. After busting her kneecap last year, Fortner broke her own UNM school record with an NCAA qualifying score of 4,147. Fortner’s score in the pentathlon is the second-highest score in the nation, during the winter track season,
and was No. 2 all-time in the MWC history. Fortner’s score was also good enough to hold off the defending MWC and NCAA champion, Amy Otis of BYU, who fell 94 points below Fortner’s mark. Because of an impeccable high-jump performance, Fortner led after the second event of the pentathlon. She led the rest of the way. Fortner was honored with the Women’s Outstanding Performance award at the meet’s end. “It felt great and I didn’t even really think about my knee that much because it was such a big deal last year,” Fortner said. “The high jump was a little shocking. I never thought that I could clear 5-9, especially on my first
attempts. But it’s good to know that going into (the National Indoor Track and Field Championships), that I can clear higher heights and knowing that I can beat defending national champions as well.” UNM Track and Field head coach Joe Franklin said Fortner’s performance at the MWC Indoor Championships was tremendous. “A lot of kids in their fifth year have different priorities, and Sandy is different because she is determined to be a great studentathlete, and she is doing that,” Franklin said. “The high jump for her was, by far, the most impressive, because she hadn’t jumped in a while and that was a life-time best for her. She got into a groove, and once she got into
that groove, she just kept jumping higher and higher. If you look at the results, she backed it up the next day.” To top off a great performance, Fortner finished in seventh place in the 60-meter hurdle, earning the Lobos, as a team, 20 points. Fortner said having the meet at home was advantageous. “I think it was huge, and it was definitely beneficial to sleep in your bed and have home-cooked meals,” she said. “It’s a lot nicer than eating at different restaurants and traveling. I mean, we had the home crowd here and it definitely paid for me, because I could hear people chanting and cheering on. That was something that I really needed.”
