With the implementation of the 3 point takedown, will all takedown records now be untouchable?

 

Previously 15 takedowns was roughly a tech but now it would be done in 7-8 takedowns.

How many takedown records were done in this manner? If you are getting takedown records by teching kids in this manner it just means you wrestled a super weak schedule and your record doesn't mean anything.

Article now attached.

Big changes are coming to high school wrestling this season. Over the past ten years the collegiate folkstyle rules have become almost a different sport with out of bound stalling, what determines out of bounds, and this past year the three point takedown. While many were clamoring for the college out of bounds rules with only one supporting point determining being in bounds it was repeatedly shot down by the NFHS due to mat and gym size concerns.

This year though, the NFHS has decided that it is time to implement the one supporting point criteria for high school wrestling. While making the wrestling area a little bigger this rule will make it easier for referees to focus on the action instead of checking for the proper amount of supporting points of the wrestlers.

On top of that change the NFHS has approved the popular three-point takedown. This year at the NCAA level they went to a three-point takedown. Many people were cautious, but also excited about that big change. After the NCAA season concluded many felt that the three-point takedown was a huge success.

If these two big changes aren’t enough for you, the NFHS has also aligned with the NCAA level with adding a four-point nearfall. After four seconds on your back the offensive wrestler will now be awarded four points instead of taking five seconds to earn only three points. This was implemented in the NCAA since 2015 and last year they updated the rule to allow two points for two seconds, three points for three seconds, and four points for four seconds or more. The NFHS will follow the NCAA and implement all three scenarios for nearfall.

Other rule changes include a clarification of the Technical Fall criteria and not requiring a 10-foot circle on the wrestling mat.

Here is the NFHS article on the changes

Rules were released... however the article link is not live yet.

The one they mention is one point of contact to be in bounds.

As a relative newbie to these bigger meets, was there some kind of qualifier for these athletes to attend the US Open??  Also notice that the age ranges are off from the normal FS/GR meets for say Schoolboy or Cadet for the State competitions, etc...

The only division that required a qualification was the Girls Showcase. Only other qualification is enough money to fly out to Vegas.

These are UWW age groups which are based on 3 year increments in most circumstances and utilize the ever popular metric weight classes.

Merrillville semi state bringing the Olympians

After the state finals I thought they gave up on wrestling over there.

You are forgetting Mr. Stevan Micic and Ashton Mutawa who also qualified for the Olympics.

Wrestlers from all over will converge upon State College, Pennsylvania Friday and Saturday for one of 18 coveted spots on the Olympic team. Seven wrestlers with Indiana ties will look to call themselves Olympians after the dust settles on Saturday evening.

Men's Freestyle
At 65kg there are two entries from Indiana in Nick Lee and Jesse Mendez. Lee is coming in as the top seed, while Mendez is the 11th seed. This weight is not qualified for the Olympics yet, so the winner here will go to Turkey with hopes of getting a qualifying spot. Lee won the spot last year and wrestled at Worlds, but did not qualify the spot. He potentially see Penn State teammate Beau Bartlett or 2023 NCAA champ Andrew Alirez to make the best of three finals.

Moving up to 97kg we will see Christian Carroll attempt to make the team. He qualified at the Last Chance Qualifier a couple weeks ago and slots in as the 9th seed. He will have Iowa's Anthony Cassioppi in the first round with the winner getting former Olympic medalist J'den Cox in the quarters.

At heavyweight Mason Parris will sit out until the finals on Saturday. He will away the challenge tournament winner in a best of three series due to winning a bronze medal at last year's world championships. It will be very fitting to see Parris in Paris this summer.

Women's Freestyle
Three wrestlers will look to earn spots on the team in Women's Freestyle. All of the women's weights are qualified for the Olympics which means winning here will get you a trip to Paris. At 50kg the Queen of Granger Sarah Hildebrandt will be sitting out until Saturday's best of three finals. She has medaled multiple times on the world stage and looks to make her second Olympic team. 

Kayla Miracle will be in the best of three series at 62kg awaiting the winner of the challenge tournament. She was an Olympian in 2021 and qualified the weight again for the Olympics at the Pan Am qualifier.

Lastly, Yorktown's Alara Boyd will look to earn a spot at 68kg. She comes in as the 5th seed in the challenge tournament. She has multiple world medals and will be a threat to make the best of three series against Amit Elor.

While I would absolutely love the single point of contact for inbounds, it can create madness for us refs due to majority of high school mats being smaller (on the outside) than college mats. I won't complain if they make that change as the current out of bounds rules are insane right now. 

They just need to clarify what a "point of contact" is, instead of making it more complicated than brain surgery.

Ft.Wayne native and Indiana St. alum David Eric Doster played baseball at New Haven High School and Indiana State University before playing 13 seasons of professional baseball.  He mostly played at the AAA level but also parts of two seasons at the major league level as well as playing some in the Japanese and Mexican leagues.  May be a stretch to list him above Larry Bird, Bruce Baumgartner, and Kurt Thomas though.  

 

Until I get an autographed Larry Bird card, Doster is ahead of him.

They are usually really tight lipped on changes. These were all in the survey, which is likely where he got these. While I would love these changes, I would be surprised if they pass all three of those changes in the same year.

As they said (not seriously) in the video, Virginia should be top tier because they have more state champions than anyone. It almost makes sense until you actually think about it.

That was sarcasm, Pyle is from Virginia and coached there.
