ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — The Espanola school district is suing the New Mexico Activities Association.
Espanola officials allege the organization’s weight classification system for wrestlers left its athletes at a disadvantage.
State District Judge Daniel Sanchez granted a temporary restraining order against the activities association, which regulates high school sports.
The order lets wrestlers compete at the weight in which they weigh in. A hearing on the issue is set for Monday.
The Espanola district contends its wrestlers compete at higher weight classes because of mistakes in administering the program.
It classifies weight based on hydration assessment and body composition tests done by machine.
