AFR crews rescue hiker stranded in Sandia Mountains

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Albuquerque Fire Rescue crews rescued a lost hiker who called them reporting he had no more food, water or additional warm clothing with him.

The call came in Thursday night at 8:17 p.m. The hiker reported he was off-trail and couldn’t move due to the tough terrain.

AFR dispatched a team to conduct a backcountry rescue. Then, AFR’s Heavy Technical Rescue team contacted New Mexico State Police’s Search and Rescue team and worked with open space teams from APD and BCSO.

Finally, around 12:30 a.m. Friday, they reached the hiker with food and water. Rescue members hiked out with him and found he wasn’t injured.

According to AFR, all units returned from the field by around 4 a.m.

New Mexico spoils Nevada’s Senior Day as Lobos leave Reno with 63-56 win

The Nevada women’s basketball team dropped its final home contest of the 2025-26 season on Saturday with New Mexico spoiling Senior Day and pushing past the Wolf Pack for a 63-56 win.

The Wolf Pack led 36-34 at halftime behind a hot-shooting start. Skylar Durley, Imbie Jones and Ahrray Young each had six points as Nevada shot 14-of-25 from the field (56%). But things cooled off in the second half, with the Lobos outscoring the Wolf Pack 19-13 in the third quarter to take a four-point lead into the fourth. Nevada’s shooting woes only worsened in the final period when it made just three field goals, including none in the final four minutes.

Durley led Nevada with 16 points and six rebounds. Young finished with 10 points, three rebounds and three assists. The Wolf Pack made just one three-pointer out of its nine attempts.

The loss drops Nevada to 9-20 overall, 5-14 within the Mountain West Conference. The Wolf Pack now heads to Utah State for Tuesday’s regular-season finale before opening the Mountain West Tournament play next Saturday in Las Vegas.
