The New Mexico Activities Association keeps and updates its football records periodically. I have decided not to attach a file of the records since it is a fluid document and changes frequently. In order to have a record in their official book an applicant must meet submission requirements which will include the signature of a school administrator (AD or Principal) and some accompanying documentation. That record is then authenticated by an independent source before it is put into the record book. I have been a part of that authentication process in recent years. This does not include every single record possible but comes close to matching the national record book in records that are followed.
The most current records are on the NMAA website (www.nmact.org).
Keep in mind that a coach needs to submit the record for it to eventually get in the record book. Some coaches do not submit records for various reasons, mostly because they believe it is a team sport and an individual should not be pointed out for accomplishment. I suspect some coaches just don't see that as their responsibility and simply don't bother with it. The end result is that people often complain that a certain record doesn't appear in the book. Blame the coach, not the NMAA who makes an honest effort to honor individual efforts.
