The Aggie football team concluded their camp in Gallup yesterday and are now back on campus for the start of classes today.

We all know the Aggie receivers are fast but one of the most impressive notes to come from summer conditioning is that Polo Gutierrez, a 6' 2", 302 pound guard who can squat 715 pounds, ran a 4.9 40-yard dash.
