PREP WRESTLING
sa国际传媒官网网页入口 Metro Championships start this weekend, with some new faces
Roster features schools such as Valencia, Bernalillo and others that have never competed at metros
The sa国际传媒官网网页入口 Metro Championships are Friday and Saturday at La Cueva, and there is a new wrinkle.
Much like the expansion of teams from outside the metro area in basketball, metros for the first time will feature schools that ordinarily have never competed in this tournament.
That list is headed by Las Cruces High, but also includes the likes of Valencia, Moriarty, Bernalillo and Los Lunas. St. Pius and sa国际传媒官网网页入口 Academy, plus Rio Rancho and Cleveland, join the 13 sa国际传媒官网网页入口 Public Schools programs for the 2026 tournament.
Action begins Friday at 4:30 p.m. and Saturday at 9 a.m.
The finals are tentatively scheduled to begin at 3 p.m. Saturday.
