Athletics Overview
Eastern New Mexico competes in NCAA Division II, which offers athletic scholarships but without the massive crowds and media attention of Division I programs. The Greyhounds field teams in 12 varsity sports and award $2,187,188 in athletic scholarships annually. About 13% of students participate in varsity athletics, with 420 athletes on a campus of 3,186 students. The university competes in the Lone Star Conference alongside other regional schools from Texas and New Mexico. Division II athletics typically emphasize regional competition and provide opportunities for student-athletes to compete at a high level while maintaining academic focus. The Greyhounds represent one of the few four-year universities in this remote corner of New Mexico, drawing athletes primarily from the local region and Texas panhandle.
