Realignment reshapes New Mexico high school sports districts
The New Mexico Activities Association realigns districts for all fall and winter sports, creating five classes by enrollment and moving Taos and Los Alamos into District 2-AAAA. The plan aims to equalize competition with broader travel times, while some schools challenge the changes with lawsuits and scheduling adjustments for 2001-2002. Taos and Espibiola Valley fans face longer trips, and regional tournaments determine state berths under a new four-region framework.
