ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Though the University of New Mexico swimming and diving team will be in two places, both will still be competing against New Mexico State in a dual this weekend.
The Lobo divers head north to Colorado to compete at the Air Force Invitational on Friday and Saturday while the swimmers travel south to take on New Mexico State on Saturday in Las Cruces. Since NMSU’s divers will also be at the Air Force event, those scores will be added to the swimming scores for this dual.
New Mexico has won four consecutive duals against its in-state foes (including winning 153-142 last season in Albuquerque) and haven’t lost to the Aggies since 2011. The teams tied in 2012, 150-150. Since the 2002-03 season, the Lobos are 9-4-1 against NMSU.
