Lovett qualifies for nationals

New Mexico Lobos freshman Django Lovett has qualified for the NCAA track and field championships.

The first-year Lobos track and field athlete, a Brookswood graduate, qualified in both the high jump and triple jump over the weekend.

Lovett, who turns 19 next month, was competing in the NCAA west preliminaries in Eugene, Ore. and placed 10th in the high jump, clearing 2.11m.

The jump was just short of his collegiate and personal best, which Lovett set earlier this season when he cleared 2.18m.

The height was also a new Mountain West Conference mark.

The NCAA championships are June 8-11 in Des Moines, Iowa.
