Bryce Santana, a University of New Mexico redshirt freshman defensive end, could squat 485 pounds when he was a standout senior at Los Lunas High School two years ago.
Santana has come a long way since then, even enduring the challenges of the coronavirus pandemic last year. He said UNM’s Night of Champions at University Stadium on Tuesday only pushed him to greater heights.
Santana upped his max in the squat three times, pushing up 535 pounds, 545 pounds and then with all his teammates surrounding him and a crowd of about 300 in the stands cheering him on, he had a new personal best of 565 pounds. Before Tuesday, his max was 525 pounds.

The mind-bending discovery arrived on the scene back in 2014 from Northwestern University geophysicist Steve Jacobsen and University of New Mexico seismologist Brandon Schmandt. However, before you invoke Jules Verne and start thinking about a surfing expedition to the center of the Earth, this is not a body of water in the normal sense. Jacobsen and Schmandt are talking about a section of the Earth s crust where pressures are so high water does not exist in the usual forms we are familiar with, like liquid, ice or vapor.
Rather, it s where water is bound together with rock on a molecular level - layers they discovered evidence of underneath North America. That could well include the Oregon / Washington coastlines and the Pacific itself.
