Two weeks ago at the Albuquerque Convention Center, 120 SONM athletes gathered with Mayor Berry, the City of ABQ Park and Recreation Department, and the UNM Football team to celebrate a long standing partnership. Mayor Berry gave a warm personal welcome and the UNM Football team served as volunteers, as SONM athletes competed on one of the nation's finest indoor tracks.

A huge thank you to the City of Albuquerque Parks and Recreation Department, Mayor Berry, and Lobo Football for their continued friendship and commitment to our athletes.
