1x4 – Last Time Out: Eastern last competed on Jan. 9 with the program at Northern Arizona for the Friday Night Axe 'Em Open. Celina Thomas stood out for the women's program with personal records in the 60m (7.78s) and long jump (5.70m, 18-8.50). Some other notable performances for the women include Journie Alexander (60m – 7.88s), Meghan Rodriguez (400m – 1:00.38), Elizabeth Lujan-Towles (3000m – 12:33.84), Gabriela Elizalde (long jump – 5.34m, 17-6.25), and Liana Moncivais (shot put – 11.47m, 37-7.75). Devin Mata highlighted Eastern New Mexico's trip to Flagstaff by breaking the school record in weight throw with a 14.76m (48-5.25) toss.
