Lobos Getting It Done In the Classroom

The combined grade point average (G.P.A.) of the University of New Mexico's 21 athletics programs for the 2009 fall semester was 3.12 according to the UNM registrar's office. That's the second-highest fall semester G.P.A. since UNM began tracking grades in 1988, and ties the second-highest G.P.A. overall. The record of 3.14 was set in the fall of 2008 and the top spring semester of 3.12 occurred in 2009, meaning the top-three semesters have been achieved in the past three terms. The Lobos have now reached a G.P.A. of 3.00 or better for 14 of the last 15 semesters.

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.
