The 2005 NAQT New Mexico High School Championship was held on this Saturday, April 23rd, in the Science Center at the Albuquerque Academy. Here are the results: Congratulations to Albuquerque Academy 1 for their exhilirating tournament victory over La Cueva High School in a one-game playoff, 295-265. The teams went undefeated during round-robin play, with each team's only blemish being the tie against the other. Fittingly, the teams were tied at the half of the finals match as well. This event marked the first quizbowl event in NM high school history, to the best of any of our knowledge, and it was seen to be a wonderful success. Efforts are already being made towards making a November event a reality. Of course this event couldn't have gone off without significant help from many generous parties. Special thanks to NAQT for providing us with a set of questions and Albuquerque Academy for offering their Science Center as a host site. By name, a debt of gratitude is owed to Tom and Dave from Academy for hosting, Jerry, Nancy, Jenny, George, Tom (Sandia National Labs) and John (AFRL) for assisting with moderating and scoring, Ahmed (for his tournament direction and moderating/scoring), and Wes (Sandia) for photocopying the rounds on her home machine. I would be remiss if I left out the coaches (Carla, Linda, Ann, and Jason) who took the time to prepare their teams for this event, not to mention spending most of their Saturday at the tournament or in transit. I hope you all enjoyed this as much as I did.
