STEVENS: The Sky is The Limit For Franklin's Lobos

With Lobo coach Joe Franklin, "Why not?" is never really a question. It's more of a statement, a plan, a mission, and if you know anything about this energetic Lobo track and cross country coach, you can't help but look at it as an inevitable. Franklin sees no reason why his University of New Mexico Lobos' cross country teams can't win a national championship. "The sky is the limit," said Franklin, whose Lobos just came back from a No. 4 (combined score) finish at the NCAA Cross Country Championships.
