Coombs and Rahmer break state records AlamogordoTownNews.org

The 2025 New Mexico Activities Association (NMAA) State Track and Field Championships have concluded, with the Class 4A-5A meet held on May 16-17 and the Class 1A-3A meet held on May 9-10.

1. Cleveland High School won the Class 5A Boys title with 73 points

2. Organ Mountain High School finished second in Class 5A Boys with 64 points.

3. La Cueva High School finished third in Class 5A Boys with 60 points.

With a ferocious power kick, Corbin Coombs roared ahead of Vause over the final 450 meters to win the 5A title in 8 minutes, 50.22 seconds, demolishing the previous state record and besting one of his closest rivals by nine seconds.

Eldorado’s Matt Tebo held the former state best of 9:07:38 set in 2006; both Coombs and Vause (8:59.85) finished well under the former University of Colorado-Boulder runner’s mark. Coombs, a Wake Forest commit, now holds the 3,200 and 1,600 state records after he ran a 4:06.17 in the latter event last season.

Congratulations to Albuquerque Academy, winner of the Class 4A Boys Title at the 2025 Blue Cross and Blue Shield of New Mexico State Track & Field Championships.

1. Albuquerque Academy won the class 4A with 74.5

2. Artesia High School won 2nd place with 71 points

3. St. Pius X placed 3rd with 65 points.

For girls state track and field again this year all eyes were on Gianna Rahmer and she did not disappoint. Rahmer added to her already-impressive legacy Friday, rolling to a win in that race dominanting at 10:33.80. She creamed her previous 3,200 record of 10:54.72 set at last year’s state meet just hours after helping the Eagles win a title and set a new state record (9:38.17) in the 4x800 relay.

Other new state records...

Kaden Andrus of Albuquerque High School set a new 5A boys record in the 110-meter hurdles (14.18) … Grace Erinle of Albuquerque Academy set a new 4A girls record in the 100 (11.96) … Valin Wittenburg of Santa Fe High set a new 5A boys record in the 400 (47.93).

This is not a loss for the Trump administration, or the American people.
The suspects were not unlawfully detained, because they were on a military installation whether they knew it or not. And they are now in I.C.E. custody.
Still a win for the American people.

I talked to my pharmacist about the MMR vaccine and they told me that there was a period of 4 years, from 1963 - 1967, that the vaccine was found to be ineffective.
That pharmacist said that people born between 1958 - 1967 may want to get re-vaccinated just to be sure.

AI will be primarily a service provided over the internet, and as such, it should be regulated at the federal level only.
I never thought I would find myself agreeing with AG Torrez, but since federal regulations are not in place, and yet urgently needed, the amendment is premature.
