New Mexico wrestling weight classes

Which NMAA weight classes are listed?

Section 7.24.1 of the published NMAA wrestling bylaws contains the boys’ and girls’ lists. Use this operative text ahead of an old weight-management handout or a proposed-change document.

Why should you avoid the old thirteen-class boys’ chart?

Older New Mexico materials can show a sequence beginning 107, 114 and 121. The current bylaw instead gives the fourteen-class list beginning 106, 113 and 120. Mixing the two creates an unofficial chart: several middle and upper classes also differ.

If a saved team spreadsheet contains 127, 133 or 172, inspect its season and source before importing it into a new event. Those values are a useful clue that the record may be based on a different adoption. Ask the school to confirm the current entry rather than automatically replacing numbers.

How do regional weigh-in requirements affect planning?

The NMAA bylaws include a regional eligibility requirement tied to the proportion of weigh-ins at or below the regional entry class. That is a record-based condition in addition to making the event’s scale limit. The school must check the actual rule and athlete history before selecting the postseason entry.

Keep the competition record organized throughout the season so the coach can verify the requirement from completed forms. A last-minute registration selection cannot repair missing evidence. If there is an exceptional circumstance, use the NMAA’s official process rather than asking a tournament volunteer to improvise an exception.

What does the girls’ fourteen-class adoption change?

The girls’ chart includes 105, 110, 115 and 125. It should not be replaced with a twelve-class list containing 107 and 114. Girls and boys also have different upper limits, despite sharing some category numbers.

1. Separate boys’ and girls’ registration divisions.
2. Check every weight against the current bylaw.
3. Confirm the athlete’s approved class for the competition date.
4. Review postseason record requirements early enough to resolve questions.

How should New Mexico hosts manage updates?

State the governing season and link the actual NMAA source in the school packet. A proposal explains an intended change; it is the adopted bylaw that establishes the competition rule. Make sure the registration options and the packet tell the same story.

For Smart Wrestler setup, review divisions before the first family submits an entry. Use the host guide.

After an official correction, check affected entries and notify the responsible coaches before brackets are posted. Keep an archived copy of the instructions used for that event so a later question can be answered with the actual governing material.
