Arm wrestling competitors and horseshoe pitching enthusiasts will have a chance to test their mettle Saturday in New Mexico Games tournaments in Albuquerque.

The Games, labeled as the state's largest annual sports festival, were first conducted in 1989 and are open to competitors from all states and ranging in age from kids to seniors.

The events Saturday are just two of 15 sports on the 2026 calendar. Still to come are volleyball, shooting, pickleball, baseball and archery.

The arm wrestlers, including Rio Rancho's 18-year-old Nathan Boling, will be convening at the Albuquerque Elks Lodge #461, which is near Kirtland Air Force Base. Wrestling begins at noon.

In horseshoes, 21-time state champion Ken Jones of Albuquerque will be among 27 entrants in the inaugural field at Mariposa Basin Park, beginning 8:30 a.m. The 22 men and five women will play in mixed groups.

Arm wrestling

Marc Perez of El Paso, a veteran of 40 years in competition, has been commissioner of the annual event since 2016 and is expecting roughly 60 competitors to enter, with registration open at the Elks Lodge from 6-8 p.m. Friday and 9-11 a.m. the day of the event.

Wrestlers may also sign up with New Mexico Games at . And Perez will have waivers on site people can sign. And when all is done weigh-ins will take place. Perez and his associates will determine who competes in what categories.

Perez, who also will serve as a referee in this meet, said it's not the folks with the bulging biceps who automatically rate as favorites.

"The person with the strongest hand and wrist usually wins," said Perez, who is a professional personal trainer. "If you get somebody who benches 450 pounds but has not worked out his hand and wrist, it doesn't matter how much they bench.

鈥淎lso, typically the advantage goes to the person with the longest arms because they have the edge in leverage, and this is a leverage sport.鈥�

This is also a sport in which some wrestlers use intimidation as a factor, which can have an effect on their opponent.

鈥淚t can affect some people," Perez said, "but there are those who are unfazed by it. If you're yelling and getting really hyped up and you're going against a very talented arm wrestler, all that yelling won't help you.鈥�

Perez is especially high on Boling, a 2025 Cleveland High grad who has been involved in the sport since late in his junior year.

Said Perez: "He's about the most enthusiastic guy when it comes to arm wrestling. He's an amateur, but an up-and-comer."

Boling, 6-foot, 176 pounds, said he first gravitated to the sport thanks to his high school astronomy instructor, Cole Monical, a former semi-pro arm wrestler who had an after-classes club at the school.

鈥淚 really liked it," Boling said, "and got super attached to it. It was the first thing that got me into working out and improving my physical health.鈥�

Boling said he'd like to eventually turn pro in the sport and cash in on his skills.

"For sure," he said. "At lower-end national tournaments you can definitely get from the mid-100s (dollars), and to the low thousands in the very big national tournaments.

鈥淎nd when you start getting up to the world level you can actually start making somewhat of a living off it it.鈥�

Although he has competed in several tournaments in New Mexico and West Texas the past year, he hasn't yet taken home a first-place trophy: "I'm still aiming for that, but I've got some third-places and second-places."

And Boling said he won't be using any intimidation tactics.

鈥淚'm not going to get up there and try to be all scary and intimidating, and then immediately get put down. I'm trying to keep it low-key. I'm going to see a lot of familiar faces.鈥�

The wrestling will commence around noon with competition in boys/men's and girls/women's brackets broken down by weight and age classifications and for right- and left-handers. The sign-up fee is $25 for adults in each class and $10 for kids/teens up to 18.

Action commences at noon.

Horseshoes

Ken Jones, 67, who was born in Santa Fe but has lived in the Duke City since age 6, has been with the New Mexico Horseshoes Association for the past 44 years.

In addition to his pile of state titles, which includes his crown in the 2025 event, Jones has been to the world tournament 22 times.

鈥淚 average about 55 percent ringers," he said of heaves men make at a distance of 40 feet. 鈥淏ut I鈥檓 in the 40s now more than I ever was. It was much easier for me when I was younger.鈥�

He said he first got interested in throwing while playing a round of golf at Los Altos.

鈥淚 was out there one day and heard the clank of shoes across the freeway (Interstate 40). There were some guys pitching at the course we used to have at Los Altos Park. We went over and checked it out and threw a few shoes. They showed me some things on how to throw and stuff. I got interested that way.鈥�

Joining him in the competition Saturday will be friend Manuel Garcia, 39, who鈥檚 commissioner of this event.

Unlike Jones, Garcia hasn鈥檛 been throwing all that long.

鈥淚 started back in 2019,鈥� said Garcia, who has a 45-percent ringer rate. 鈥淢y biggest accomplishment was actually last year in the world tournament at Salt Lake where I took second place in the open prelim championships.鈥�

Garcia also downplayed the idea that people watching the event have to be quiet so as not to break the concentration of pitchers.

鈥淚t鈥檚 kind of overrated,鈥� he said. 鈥淲e really know how to cram out the background noise and focus on our game.鈥�

And even though Saturday鈥檚 event doesn't carry as much clout as national events, Garcia said he is motivated to take home the first-place trophy.

鈥淚鈥檒l be real grateful to win with this being our first tournament in the New Mexico Games.鈥�

ONE MORE THING: Santonio Collado of Dulce became the first junior boys world champion from New Mexico when he competed in horseshoes last month in Wausau, Wisconsin.
