HISTORY OF THE TRACK
Good timing, a proactive city council and an irresistible sale, all contributed to the return of indoor track and
field to Albuquerque after nearly a 20-year absence. During the spring of 2004 Albuquerque city leaders
learned of a $1 million unused and undamaged indoor track sitting in storage in Canada that could be
purchased for a mere $500,000. The state-of-the-art Mondo track had originally been ordered, then later
declined, for use in the Los Angeles Staples Center arena. The track finally found a home inside the Convention
Center in downtown Albuquerque and made its debut on Jan. 15, 2005 for the inaugural Albuquerque AllComers meet. Nearly identical to the track used by the University of Arkansas at the Randal Tyson Track Center,
Albuquerque’s new indoor facility received rave reviews from athletes, coaches and fans. Like the Arkansas
facility, Albuquerque and the University of New Mexico officials believed the city would become a destination
for some of the nation’s premier events and they were right. The facility hosted the 2010 and 2011 Mountain
West Conference Indoor Track and Field Championships, and in 2011 it also hosted the Division II NCAA
Championships. Albuquerque has played home to the USA Track & Field National Championships since 2010.
The Albuquerque indoor track is a 200-meter, 60-degree banked track that has 60m straightaways running the
entire length of the facility. It also includes men’s and women’s jumping runways and pits, as well as an area for
shot put, pole vault and high jump events. The surface of the track is red and white Mondo.
The Albuquerque All-Comers meet marked the University of New Mexico’s first indoor competition at home
since hosting the 1987 Western Athletic Conference Championships in Tingley Coliseum at the New Mexico
State Fairgrounds. The Lobos under Joe Franklin now regularly host between four and six indoor meets per
year, not only giving the Lobos a home track advantage, but bringing in countless numbers of teams,
participants, and fans, pushing the economic impact of the track beyond the original estimates.
In the mid-60s Albuquerque was one of the nation’s elite indoor track and field locations. The 1966 AAU Indoor
Nationals (now known as the USA Indoor Track & Field Championships) drew a two-day total of nearly 20,000
fans to Tingley Coliseum and was featured on the March 14 cover of Sports Illustrated. Albuquerque officials
were able to lure the meet away from its regular home at Madison Square Garden in New York City that year.

A uniform consists of two school-issued components- shorts or briefs, and a top. A one-piece body suit
is acceptable as a combination of the two components. Any outer garment (e.g., sweat pants, tights)
that is school-issued becomes the official uniform, when worn.
The uniform must be of a material and design deemed to not be objectionable or offensive by the
athletics department of the issuing institution.
The uniform top must, by design and size, cover the full length of the torso, meeting or hanging below
the waistband of the bottoms, while the competitor is standing, and allow for the competitors’ number
to be placed above the waist, front and back.
Uniform tops must be worn so to not obscure hip numbers.
Additional visible clothing is an undergarment. It must be worn under the uniform and be of solid color.
The use of, or wearing of, artificial noisemakers by competitors is prohibited
Note: Individual or team, logo, number and shoe rules shall be enforced through inspection by the clerk or
the head field event official at initial event check-in. Violators shall be warned, given the chance to correct
the violation, and reported to the referee. A report of uncorrected violations shall be made to the referee and
offending competitors coach.
Relay Uniforms - In addition to the uniform guidelines outlined above, the following shall apply:
a.
All relay team members must wear the uniforms clearly indicating, through color, logo and combination
of all worn outer garment, that members are from the same team.
b.
Visible undergarments on the top (e.g., t-shirts) worn by team members must be of an identical solid
color. Visible undergarments on the bottom (e.g., tights of any length) must be of an identical solid
color.
Logos - An institution’s official uniform and all other items of apparel (e.g., team jersey, socks) that are worn
by student-athletes in competition may bear a single manufacturer’s or distributor’s normal trademark, not to
exceed 2-1/4 square inches, including any additional material (e.g., patch) surrounding the normal trademark
or logo. The logo or trademark must be contained within a four-sided geometrical figure (i.e., rectangle,
square, parallelogram).
In addition, an institution’s official uniform cannot bear a design element similar to a manufacturer’s that is in
addition to another logo or that is contrary to the size restriction.
This bylaw will be strictly enforced at all NCAA championships and the names of individuals and institutions
that are not in compliance with this bylaw shall be forwarded to the NCAA enforcement staff.
The logo restriction on student-athletes’ apparel set forth in Bylaw 12.5.4 shall apply during NCAA
championships to all personnel (e.g., coaches, trainers, manager) who are on the team bench for practices
and games or who participate in news conferences. Please note that those contracts between institutions and
apparel manufacturers or distributors that include logo specifications may be honored, provided such contracts
were in effect before August 11, 1998. Also, the logo restriction on student-athletes’ apparel as set forth in
Bylaw 12.5.4. shall apply to commercial logos on uniforms worn by band members, cheerleaders, dance team
members and the institutions’ mascot during NCAA championships events.
