Good Afternoon, I just received notification from NMSU that they've had a mechanical issue with the pool. Both pools are closed this evening. All practices at NMSU are cancelled. They anticipate the indoor pool being closed for awhile, but that they can have the outdoor pool back open tomorrow. Stay tuned just in case. Coach Maker
