Stevens: Franklin's Lobos Continue To Make Track History

New Mexico's 2009-10 season of track was a history-making campaign dotted with Lobo headliner names such as Emanuel, Fortner, Young, Thomas, Senior, Kirwa, Barnicle and, of course, Joe Franklin.

"I just drive the bus," said Franklin. If so, Franklin points this Lobo bus in the right direction and drives it through many a finish line and qualifying mark. The Lobos set records in cross country, indoor and outdoor track during the 2009-10 school year.
