	Description:		Eddie Nuñez was named to the top post in athletics on August 31, 2017. Nuñez is UNM’s 13th Athletic Director, dating back to 1911. His title was officially changed to Vice President/Director of Athletics in the fall of 2021. “My number one priority at UNM is always going to be the student-athlete and making sure their experience offers the support and resources they need to achieve great things on and off the field of play. We are going to bring passion, transparency and energy to everything we do here.” In his first five years in the AD’s chair, Nuñez has presided over plenty of success stories, starting with a National Championship in Cross Country in 2017. Over his five years, UNM has totaled 34 NCAA Tournament appearances and 15 Mountain West titles. Among the 322 All-Conference performers have been 30 conference Athletes of the Year and 11 conference Coach of the Year awards. Academically, UNM’s 1,031 Mountain West All-Academic selections and 728 Mountain West Scholar-Athletes are the highest total among all Mountain West schools over that time frame.
