A LOOK BACK AT THE TOP SPORTS STORIES IN NORTHERN NEW MEXICO

ATHLETICS

CONDOLENCES: Former New Mexico Highlands University athletic director, athlete and Robertson High School coach Joe Singleton died recently. He was 82. Singleton made news when he was named UC-Davis athletic director in 1969 at a time when few AfricanAmericans at traditional colleges held such posts. He is a member of the UC-Davis Athletics Hall of Fame, as well as the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics Hall of Fame. After retiring from UC-David, Singleton returned to Highlands, serving as its AD from 1996-2000.
