Western New Mexico Athletics

Western New Mexico University cross country student-athletes Kempton Jackson (Gallup, NM, Gallup High School) and Amy Roybal (Pojoaque Valley, NM, Pojoaque Valley High School) have been selected to attend the NCAA National Student-Athlete Development Conference in Orlando, Florida, at the Walt Disney World Resort. Football student-athlete Colton Cisco (Roswell, NM, Roswell High School) has been named an alternate. 

The event will be conducted from May 24 to 27. 

Jackson and Roybal are members of the WNMU cross country team and are active members of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC). Cisco is also an active member of SAAC and represented WNMU at the RMAC SAAC meeting. 

The conference provides NCAA student-athletes with a forum to discuss issues that affect them on their campuses, and also provides them with the opportunity to enhance their leadership, communication, decision-making, and problem-solving skills. 

The conference will provide ideas and skills to promote better communication among student-athletes, coaches, administrators, faculty members, and communities. 

Below is a list of all student-athlete attendees.
