New Weight Class approved by the NFHS

The NFHS recently approved the changes to the new weight classes in high school wrestling. Here is the press release on the new weight and some rule changes.

 NATIONAL FEDERATION OF STATE


HIGH SCHOOL ASSOCIATIONS

NEWS RELEASE

Weight classes changed in high school wrestling

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Bob Colgate

INDIANAPOLIS, IN (April 26, 2011) — The most significant changes in weight classes in high

school wrestling in 23 years will take place in the 2011-12 season.

In its April 4-6 meeting in Indianapolis, the National Federation of State High School Associations

(NFHS) Wrestling Rules Committee approved an upward shift of the weight classes, beginning with the

103-pound class moving to 106 pounds, which resulted in new weights for 10 of the 14 classes. The

changes in weight classes, along with 17 other rules revisions, were subsequently approved by the NFHS

Board of Directors.

The 14 weight classes approved by the committee for 2011-12 are as follows: 106 (pounds), 113,

120, 126, 132, 138, 145, 152, 160, 170, 182, 195, 220 and 285. Three middle weight classes – 145, 152

and 160 – were retained, although they are 7-8-9 in order now rather than 8-9-10. The largest weight

class (285 pounds) remains unchanged as well.

“The change in weight classes resulted from a three-to-four year process utilizing data from the

National Wrestling Coaches Association (NWCA) Optimal Performance Calculator,” said Dale Pleimann,

chair of the NFHS Wrestling Rules Committee and former assistant executive director of the Missouri

State High School Activities Association. “The rules committee was able to analyze data from almost

200,000 wrestlers across the country, with the goal to create weight classes that have approximately

seven percent of the wrestlers in each weight class.

“Throughout the process, each state association was kept completely informed and was provided

multiple opportunities for input. The results of the last survey of each state association indicated that the

majority of states favored a change, and the committee listened and acted accordingly.”

The last wholesale shift in weight classes occurred in 1988, when the lowest weight class was

increased from 98 to 103 pounds. The only other changes since then were in 2002, when the number of

classes went from 13 to 14 and the 215-pound weight class became mandatory, and in 2006, when the

275-pound class was increased to 285 pounds.

Among changes in wrestling holds, the Figure 4 around the head has been ruled an illegal

hold/maneuver. Previously, the Figure 4 was illegal around the body or both legs.

“This move was being used by high school wrestlers more and more on the head, so to minimize

the risk of injury, the committee voted to outlaw the Figure 4 on the head as well as around the body and

both legs,” said Bob Colgate, NFHS assistant director and liaison to the Wrestling Rules Committee.

Another significant change was made in Rule 2-1-3, which now makes the boundary line inbounds

and, thus, expands the wrestling area. Previously, a wrestler was out of bounds if he or she was touching

any part of the 2-inch-wide line which marks the wrestling area.

An additional exception was added to Rule 8-2-1 stating that if the second injury time-out is taken

at the conclusion of the second period, and the opponent already has the choice at the beginning of the

third period, the opponent would then have the added choice at the first restart after the beginning of the

third period.

“Previously, at the end of the second period and before the third period, Wrestler A takes his or

her second injury time-out, which now gives the choice to Wrestler B,” Colgate said. “However, it’s

already Wrestler B’s choice by virtue of the original flip of the disk. Therefore, Wrestler B gains no

advantage or benefit from Wrestler A’s second injury time-out. With this change, Wrestler B would now

have his or her choice at the first restart after the beginning of the third period.”

In other changes, a revision in Rule 3-1-13 allows the referee the flexibility to determine his or her

best position to monitor the clock and wrestlers during injury, blood or recovery time-outs. Also,

language in Rule 6-2-2 was changed from “forfeit” to “disqualification” to reflect correct terminology.

The rules committee also devoted considerable time to developing rules for multi-team dual

meets and team-formatted tournaments. Previously, the NFHS Wrestling Rules Book addressed only dual

meets and individually bracketed tournaments. Definitions for individually bracketed tournaments, dual

meet/team-formatted tournaments and combination tournaments will be contained in Rule 1-3.

“In recent years, high school wrestling has moved from dual meets and individually bracketed

tournaments to tournaments incorporating a dual meet/team format,” Pleimann said. “The new Rule 11

will provide rules coverage for this type of tournament format.”

“High school wrestling is in great shape across the country as participation numbers continue to

increase. The rules committee did propose 18 changes to the rules book, but approximately two-thirds

of those changes resulted from incorporating the new dual meet/team format rules,” Pleimann added.

The final change is one that has been approved by the NFHS Board of Directors for use in all

NFHS rules books regarding the meet referee’s jurisdiction. The rule extends the clerical duties of the

referee beyond the end of the meet through the completion of any reports required from actions that

occurred while the referees had jurisdiction.

Points of emphasis adopted by the committee for 2011-12 include communicable diseases, injury

time-outs, coach/referee conference, and concussion recognition and management.

Wrestling is the sixth-most popular sport for boys at the high school level with 272,890

participants in 10,363 schools during the 2009-10 season, according to the NFHS Athletics Participation

Survey. In addition, 6,134 girls were involved in wrestling in 1,009 high schools.

Videos of the State Tourney

We will be trying out a new blog idea during the State Tourney this year. We will record the Buckaroos matches and bring them to you. This will not be live but will be after the round or the match as soon as we can get them up. This is a trial run so hopefully we can make it work and be able to let you watch your Buckaroos as they compete for State Titles. The Tourney starts at 3:30 Friday afternoon.

Pagosa Springs Tourney

The Monticello Buckaroo Wrestlers came back strong from the Christmas Break, bringing home a fifth place team finish from the Rocky Mountain Wrestling Tournament in Pagosa Springs, Colorado. It’s one of the highest team finishes for the Bucks from the prestigious tournament which features 20 teams, including many top Colorado and New Mexico programs. Monticello is one of only a few small schools invited to the tough tournament. The Bucks earned their fifth place finish with only 8 wrestlers competing, five of them wrestling in the finals, and brought home seven individual medals.

Leading his team was Buckaroo Coltan Musselman who cruised through the competition with wins by fall in each of the first three rounds before putting up a strong 13-9 win in the finals. Musselman joins an elite group including only a handful of Buckaroos who have achieved a top placing from the tournament.

The Bucks had five team members competing in the final round, with Hunter Bowring, Brian Robinson, CJ Cordasco and Trevor Wagstaff each earning hard fought second place medals. Bowring earned a win by fall in the early round and had the crowd on the edge of their seat in a 4-3 victory to send him to the finals. Robinson and Cordasco each dominated their weight classes on the road to the finals with two early falls and huge 12-0 and 14-0 wins respectively. Wagstaff also earned a win by fall and put up a strong 6-2 win in the semi-final round.

Freshman Austin Wilcox earned a fourth place finish in first outing of the season. Wilcox put up two strong wins by fall in the early rounds. Dailyn Warren rounded out the Buckaroo placers with a seventh place finish. Warren earned a first round fall before a loss put him in the consolation bracket. He stayed alive with an exciting 11-7 win, before a loss put him in the match for 7th and 8th place. Warren came back strong, and fought hard in a nail biter, earning an exciting 10-9 win in his final match.

Also wrestling for the Buckaroos was Tim Ryan who earned an exciting win by fall in the first round, but two tough losses put him out of the tournament.

The remainder of the Buckaroo squad travelled to the Durango JV Tournament. Eric Anderson and Jake Giles each earned second place finishes, followed by Roque DeAnda, Curtis Baird, and Joe Engle with third place finishes and Mo Beh with a fifth place finish. Also wrestling for the Buckaroos were Randy Jelly and Kelland Brewer.

This week the Buckaroos travel to the Shiprock Tournament. There will be a dual tournament on Friday starting at 9:30 am and bracket tournament on Saturday starting at 8:30 am.
