Head Coach Brian Smith13th Season :: Michigan State, 1990 Beginning his career as Missouri’s seventh Head Wrestling Coach, Brian Smith sat down with his team and made a list of goals that he hoped to help the 1998 squad and future Tiger teams accomplish.

Over the past 12 years, Smith and the 153 men that have come through the varsity program have slowly but surely checked items off the list. Individual Big 12 Conference Champions, improved grade-point averages, record-setting attendances, a No. 1 national ranking and Missouri’s first-ever NCAA National Champion in wrestling were all on Smith’s “to-do” list. His unique TigerStyle training program has molded today’s team into a national powerhouse that looks to contend for the program’s first NCAA title. Since being introduced as Missouri’s Head Wrestling Coach May 5, 1998, Smith has demanded nothing but the best from himself, his coaches and his wrestlers. Owning nine consecutive seasons with a record at or above .500, beginning with 2001-02, Smith has coached 13 All-Americans to 25 top-eight performances and three Tigers to four national titles. Additionally, Smith aided in two-time National Champion Ben Askren’s run through the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, China. During Askren’s Tiger career, Smith guided the 174-pound grappler Askren to the program’s first back-to-back National Championship titles (2006 and 2007). On March 21, 2009, Mark Ellis became the second Missouri wrestler in program history to collect top honors. Wrestling at heavyweight, Ellis bested his opponent, 3-2, in overtime with Smith coaching from the corner. Last March, Max Askren became the third national champion in the history of the program, as he dominated the No. 1 seed in the 184-pound weight class by a 10-3 score. In the past five years alone, five Tigers have earned nine Big 12 titles with Nicholas Marable becoming just the second Tiger, the first being Ben Askren, to ever win three conference crowns, taking the title in 2008, 2009 and 2010. In 2007, and again in 2009, Missouri sent a program high eight wrestlers to the NCAA Championships, besting the previous high of seven set in 2003 and 2006. At least one Tiger grappler has been selected to compete at the championship event in each of his 12 seasons at Missouri and Smith’s squads have finished among the top-15 programs at the NCAA Championships for seven straight years. In 2009, Missouri

set the bar higher with a program-high five Tigers earning All-American accolades, the previous high, three, had been set on four occasions. Smith’s teams have made a remarkable turnaround. Inheriting a program that had not seen a winning record since the 1991-92 campaign, the Tigers are now continuously ranked among the top-10 in the nation, reaching as high as No. 1 during the course of the 2006-07 campaign. On Dec. 12, 2006, the Missouri wrestling team became just the 11th wrestling program in history to earn a No. 1 ranking. Only a loss to eventual National Champion Minnesota forced the Tigers down in the polls. In 2003, Smith helped his team to its highest Big 12 tournament finish ever (second), a feat the team repeated at home in the Hearnes Center in 2007. Through the efforts of three 2007 Big 12 Champions and three top-three finishes, Missouri edged eight-time Big 12 Champion Oklahoma State by a half of a point (61.5-61) for second place. The winningest coach in program history, Smith has compiled a 144-71-2 record at Missouri and became only the second Tiger wrestling coach to reach the 100-win plateau. Hitting the century mark on Dec. 9, 2006, in Mount Pleasant, Mich., Smith’s squad bested then-No. 11 Central Michigan, 31-9. Smith’s 50th career victory came with a win over Oklahoma on Jan. 26, 2003, helping the Tigers improve to 3-1 in conference action, while earning the most conference victories the Tigers have had in the Big 12 or Big Eight leagues. Since 2003, two of Smith’s squads (2006-07, 2008-09) have matched the 3-1 league mark.With a .668 winning percentage, Smith holds the highest winning percentage in Tiger wrestling history. In May of 2007, Smith’s hard work paid off as he earned the Dan Gable Coach of the Year Award as presented by W.I.N. Magazine. Building excitement and interest for the sport of wrestling, not only in Columbia but across the nation, Smith and his team have helped turn out record crowds in the Hearnes Center. On Feb. 11, 2007, competing against Iowa State, the Tigers packed in 2,772 fans with several thousand more watching the dual live on the Mizzou Sports Network (MSN). The mark bested the previous high by 644 spectators, a record set one year prior against Oklahoma State, Jan. 22, 2006. With record numbers of fans attending

2 0 1 0 - 1 1Missouri’s duals during the 2006-07 season, the Tigers ranked fifth in the nation for attendance. The demands that Smith puts on his wrestlers extend well beyond the mat. In the fall of 2002, his team had a grade-point average of 2.81, the highest GPA for a Missouri wrestling team under Coach Smith. In 2010, Smith had eight wrestlers with GPA’s over 3.0. In all, 17 wrestlers have been recognized by the National Wrestling Coaches Association (NWCA), Big 12 and CoSIDA for their academic achievements since he took the reins in 1998. Among that list is Tyler McCormick, a 2008 graduate and two-time All-American. In 2006, McCormick headlined the Big 12 All-Academic first team as the only grappler in the conference to post a 4.0 grade-point average. The Tiger All-American went on to become the first wrestler since Shaon Fry (1993) to earn ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America first team accolades and was later awarded one of 29 prestigious NCAA Postgraduate Scholarships in 2008. McCormick is one of four Tiger grapplers in the last five years to earn a post-graduate scholarship, along with 2004 graduate Kenny Burleson, Askren and 2009 graduate Joey Garrity. Away from the mat and outside of the classroom, Smith’s squad is committed to giving back to the community. Over the past five years, three Tiger grapplers have served on the Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) as president. A 1990 graduate of Michigan State University, Smith’s coaching career began at Western High School in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. From 1991-92, Smith led Western High to its first top-10 finish at the state tournament, claiming a second place finish in 1991 and a fourth place showing in 1992. Smith coached two state champions and led five wrestlers to top finishes at the Florida state tournament. Smith’s collegiate coaching career began at Cornell University in 1992. While an assistant at Cornell, he put together two of the nation’s top-10 recruiting classes, a feat he accomplished without athletic scholarships, (Ivy League schools do not offer athletic scholarships). Those recruiting classes helped Cornell take two Ivy League Championships, a 10th-place finish at the 1993 NCAA Championships and a 17th-place finish in 1994. At the 1994 NCAA Championships, one of Smith’s top athletes, David Hirsch, became Cornell’s first national champion since 1960. In 1997, Smith took over the head coaching position at Syracuse University, helping to stabilize a program that was nearly eliminated. Before leaving for Missouri in May of 1998, Smith coached Jason Gleasman (HWT) to All-America honors. A competitor himself, Smith was a three-time All-Big Ten wrestler and a four-time letterman at Michigan State from 1986-1990. As a senior, he was selected as the Spartan’s Most Outstanding Wrestler. Competing at 126-pounds, Smith finished fifth at the Big Ten Championships in 1988, third in 1989 and second in 1990. Smith stands among the top-25 on Michigan State’s all-time wins list with 84 career victories as a Spartan. He also stands tied for 19th on MSU’s single-season wins list with 32 victories in 1990.A native of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., where his father coached football, Smith was a two-time wrestling state champion in 1984 with Oviedo High School and 1985 while competing at St. Thomas Aquinas High School.

Smith is currently an active member of the wrestling community, taking over duties as the NWCA President in 2010 in addition to serving as wrestling commissioner for the Missouri Show-Me-State Games for the past six years. During the summer of 2003, Smith took 12 wrestlers, including graduates Austin DeVoe and Jeremy Spates, on the NWCA Collegiate All-Star International Tour. Smith served as head coach as the men competed in three cities in Greece; Athens, Thessaloniki and Larisa as well as Sophia, Bulgaria. Both DeVoe and Spates went 7-2 in their individual competitions. The Florida native graduated from Michigan State with a degree in education and married the former Denise Dean in 1993. Brian and Denise, have three children, Quinn (16), Kylie (14) and Braden (10). In the spring of 2009, Smith received his Master’s Degree in Athletic Administration from William Woods University.

Two-time All-American and 2007 Missouri graduate Matt Pell returned to his alma mater in 2009 and begins his second year as an assistant coach on the Tiger wrestling staff.

After receiving his bachelor’s degree in May of 2007, Pell left the Midwest and

worked as an assistant coach for the University of Virginia (UVA) wrestling squad. In his two years on staff, Pell helped coach five Cavaliers to Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Championship titles, and one grappler, Chris Henrich, to UVA’s first All-America honor in five years.

The Cavaliers notched one of their best seasons in school history in 2007-08, recording an 18-win campaign and second place showing at the ACC Championships. Finishing two points shy of first at the 2008 Conference Championships, the showing was UVA’s best finish since 2004. In 2009, the Cavaliers repeated as second-place finishers, with three UVA grapplers earning titles and 197 pound competitor Brent Jones named the tournament’s Most Outstanding Wrestler.

As an assistant, Pell was responsible for bringing in back-to-back top 15 recruiting classes with the 2008 squad ranked 14th and 2009 newcomers ranked sixth.

A four year starter on Missouri’s wrestling squad, Pell first earned All-American honors as a sophomore in 2005 while competing at 184 pounds. The Tiger team captain became just the third Missouri wrestler in program history to earn All-American accolades in more than one weight class, managing a third place finish at the 2007 Championships in the 165 pound weight class. In addition to his second top-eight NCAA finish, Pell was presented with the Gorarrian Award after recording the most pins in the least amount of time at the NCAA Championships held in St. Louis. Pell’s third place finish helped Missouri to its best squad showing in program history, third.

The four-time NCAA qualifier completed his career with 122 wins, good enough for sixth best in program history.

Pell was three-time state champion at Luxemburg-Casco High School in Luxemburg, Wis. Under the leadership of Head Coach Bob Beceau, Pell led his team to three state titles. While a Spartan, Pell was ranked the 10th best wrestler in Wisconsin and the eighth-best 145-pounder by Intermat.

Matt PellAssistant Coach - Second Season Missouri, 2007

Jason MesterAssistant Coach - First Season Central Michigan, 2004

Mester, who has six years of coaching experience, begins his first season as an assistant with Mizzou after serving as the strength and conditioning volunteer coach at Nebraska for the past five seasons.

In his time at Nebraska, the Huskers garnered 14 All-America honors, three NCAA finalists in four

appearances, and two National Champions. In addition to Nebraska earning their first ever Big 12 team title, the Huskers saw two fourth place team finishes at the NCAA Wrestling National Championships in 2008 and 2009.

Mester started his coaching career at his alma mater, Central Michigan, in 2004. As an assistant coach, he helped the Chippewas to a 12th-place finish at the NCAA Championships in 2005.

A 2004 graduate of Central Michigan, Mester is a three-time Mid-American Conference Champion, and two-time All-American. At the time of his graduation, he ranked third all-time on Central Michigan’s charts with an .815 career-winning percentage.

A native of Mineral Point, Wis. Mester married the former Lory Baker in May 2010.

Recent graduate and two-time Missouri All-American at 165 pounds, Nicholas Marable begins his first year as the Tiger’s assistant strength and conditioning coach.

A three-time NCAA qualifier, Marable wrestled to a third place finish at the 2008

Native began the second period in the down position, earning a point for an escape. Smith made a run at Askren, picking up a takedown to begin the third period, with Askren escaping again at the :30 mark. With a point for riding time, Askren won the match by decision, 10-3, and became Missouri’s first 184-pound National Champion. With a 20-2 season record, Askren made his mark in the Missouri record books, finishing his career with a record of 104-16, becoming the 18th member of Missouri’s 100-win club, and standing at 13th on Missouri’s top career victories list. He also became the fifth Missouri wrestler to earn All-America honors in more than one weight class, previously earning the honor twice at 197 pounds.

A charter member of the Missouri Wrestling Hall of Fame, Hap Whitney coached the Tigers from 1964-74, managing an 88-55-3 record. The St. Louis native became the first wrestler in Missouri high school history to win four state wrestling championships. Whitney went to Purdue University, winning a Big Ten Conference title in 1956, later placing third at the NCAA Championships. An alternate to the 1956 U.S. Olympic team, his MU squads accomplished a number of notable firsts: the first to place in the Big Eight Championships (1966), the first finalist at the Big Eight Championships (Steve Cavanaugh, 1967), the first and only undefeated season (1967-68) and the first nationally ranked team (1968). After his tenure as wrestling coach, Whitney became assistant athletic director at Missouri, serving until 1981, when he became director of physical education and athletics for Columbia Public Schools. In 1993, he was the Missouri Athletic Director of the Year and the Kiwanis Club’s choice for Columbia Sports Person of the Year.

Ed Lampitt became the first Tiger to place at the Big Eight Conference Tournament doing so in 1966, (finishing second in 1968). Lampitt captained the only undefeated wrestling team at MU in 1968, and set school records that stood for many years. Graduating with honors in civil engineering, Lampitt became a dentist in 1977, later suffering from a debilitating brain tumor. Two surgeries rendered him unable to speak and totally paralyzed. Through rehabilitation, he recovered but is still paralyzed on one side of his body. Lampitt returned to private practice after learning to perform his duties with one hand. On June 7, 2003, Lampitt received the Wrestling Medal of Courage for overcoming seemingly insurmountable challenges. He resides in Piedmont, Mo., where he has become a private pilot, taken up golf and snow skiing and is a dynamic motivational speaker. The cardio equipment in the wrestling room is named for him.

A Missouri standout, 2006 inductee Wes Roper was both a student-athlete and head coach with the Tiger wrestling program. Competing at 150 pounds, the three-time co-captain earned Missouri’s sixth All-America honor at the 1982 NCAA Championships after finishing fourth in his class. The winningest wrestler in Missouri history for 25 years, Roper now stands second in the Missouri 100-win club with 131 victories collected throughout his career. Between 1978 and 1982, the William Chrisman High School graduate was 131-37 and set a new high for most points in a career (461) and most victories by a

junior (40). Both records stood for 25 years and were broken in 2006 by NCAA Champion Ben Askren (174).

Roper began his 12-year Missouri coaching career in 1986 and finished with a 73-94-4 record that included eight All-Americans, two Big Eight Champions (with Shaon Fry earning honors in both 1993 and 1994), and five Academic All-Americans. Roper now lives in Kirksville, Mo., and serves as an investment broker.

An NCAA champion wrestler at the University of Maryland (1965), Bob Kopnisky came to Missouri as head coach in 1974, and led the Tigers to national prominence. From 1974 to 1986, Kopnisky amassed a wrestling record of 125-72-3. During his 12 years at Mizzou, his teams placed nine times at the NCAA Championships. Kopnisky’s 1984 squad finished 10th at the NCAA meet, representing MU’s best finish at the time. Prior to his arrival, MU had never had an All-American wrestler, but Kopnisky coached 11, including MU’s first-ever Big Eight Conference Champion, John Sonderegger (1984).

Currently, Kopnisky resides in Carmel, Ind. His son, John, was a standout on the Missouri wrestling team from 1999-2002. Bob is currently a teacher and wrestling coach in Carmel, Ind.

Bob KopniskyClass of 2000

The only MU wrestler to win two Big Eight Conference Championships (1993, 1994) , Shaon Fry placed second at the NCAA Championships in 1993 and third in 1994. Fry had a career record of 127-36, tying for the third most wins in MU history. As a senior, he went 38-3. Fry was a three-time Academic All-Big Eight and two-time Academic All-American selection. With a 3.80 cumulative grade-point average, Fry graduated with honors from MU’s physical therapy department. Fry is now the site coordinator for Peak Performance in Jefferson City and his wife Shannon, a former MU Golden Girl, now coaches the Golden

Girls for the athletic department.

The first wrestler to earn a letter at the University of Missouri, Guy Sappington was also the first Tiger to win a conference championship when he took the 135-pound title at the Missouri Valley Conference meet in 1928. Sappington later won a Big Six Conference crown at 145-pounds in 1932. In 1933, prior to the institution of the NCAA wrestling championships, he won the national Amature Athletic Union (AAU) title at 145 pounds. Sappington was the first recipient of the Schutte Award, donated by a Kansas City lumberman and wrestling enthusiast, in honor of Missouri’s Most Valuable Wrestler in 1932. Sappington passed away Jan. 20, 1994, in Fresno, Calif.

Missouri’s Hall of FameTiger Wrestlers Earn Hall of Fame Honors

The University of Missouri Intercollegiate Athletics Hall of Fame was made possible by the 1989 bequest of $100,000 from the estate of the late A.C. (Ace) and Mary Stotler.

2 0 1 0 - 1 1NCAA Wrestling Rules and Regulations

MATCH DURATIONA meet shall be conducted in 10 weight classifications or matches between wrestlers of the same weight class. Matches shall be seven minutes in duration, divided into three periods, with the first period three minutes and the second and third periods two minutes each. Matches less than seven minutes long shall not count.

DETERMINING WRESTLING ORDERImmediately after the weigh-in for a dual meet or multiple dual meets conducted on the same day, coaches may mutually agree to determine the order of matches to be wrestled, allowing for a particular weight class to be featured. Once the first weight class is established, subsequent matches will continue in the traditional sequence of increasing weight class. If coaches cannot agree on the wrestling order, a random draw shall be conducted to determine which weight class will be wrestled first.

HOME-TEAM DESIGNATIONFor scoring and identification purposes, the home team will be considered “green” and the visiting team “red.”

WRESTLING POSITIONSNeutral Position. The match will start with both contestants standing opposite each other with their lead foot on the green or red area of the starting lines, and their other foot even with or behind the lead foot. In the neutral position, neither wrestler has control. When the referee sounds the whistle, the wrestlers will begin wrestling. In matches involving sight-impaired wrestlers, a finger-touch method shall be used in the neutral position and contact shall be maintained throughout the match.

defensive Starting Position. The defensive wrestler takes a stationary position at the center of the mat with both hands and knees on the mat, as directed by the referee. Both knees must be on the mat even with and behind the rear starting line. The heels of both hands must be on the mat in front of the forward starting line. The elbows shall not touch the mat. This position also must allow the offensive wrestler to be able to assume a legal starting position on either side of the defensive wrestler.

offensive Starting Position. The offensive wrestler shall be on the right or left side of the opponent with at least one knee on the mat and head on or above the midline of the opponent’s back. One arm (right or left) is first placed loosely around the defensive wrestler’s body perpendicular to the long axis of the body, with the palm of the hand placed loosely against the defensive wrestler’s navel, and the palm of the other hand (left or right) is placed on or over the back of the near elbow, this being the near side. One knee shall be on the mat to the outside of the near leg, not touching the defensive wrestler; and a knee or foot may be placed in back of the defensive wrestler’s feet, not touching the defensive wrestler.

optional offensive Starting Position. Wrestlers selecting the optional starting position must indicate their intent to the referee. The referee shall inform the defensive wrestler of the offensive wrestler’s intention and allow the defensive wrestler to adjust. The offensive wrestler may select a position on either side or to the rear of the defensive wrestler with all weight supported by both feet, one knee or both knees. The offensive wrestler is to place both hands on the opponent’s back (area between neck and waist), thumbs touching. Only the hands of the offensive wrestler are to be in contact with the defensive wrestler. The offensive wrestler is not to place one or both feet or knees between the opponent’s feet or legs, or in front of the forward starting line or the line extended. In addition, the offensive wrestler is not to straddle the opponent.

offensive or optional Starts. For either the offensive or optional starts, the referee will direct the offensive wrestler to take a starting position after the defensive wrestler is stationary in the starting position.

Stalemate. When the contestants are interlocked in a position other than a pinning situation in which neither wrestler can improve their position, the referee shall stop the match as soon as possible; wrestling will be resumed as for out of bounds.

Position of Advantage. The offensive wrestler maintains the position of advantage until the opponent (defensive wrestler) is awarded an escape or a reversal by the referee.

In bounds. Contestants are considered to be in bounds if any part of either wrestler is on or inside the boundary line. Wrestling shall continue as long as either wrestler remains in bounds. For the purpose of awarding a point(s) at the edge of the wrestling area, a point(s) shall be awarded when control is established or lost while any part of either wrestler finishes on the mat in bounds. When the defensive wrestler’s back is exposed to the mat in a pinning situation while any part of either wrestler is in bounds, wrestling shall continue as long as there is a possibility of the offensive wrestler bringing the opponent back in bounds. Near-fall points may be earned or a fall called if any part of the defensive wrestler’s pinning area is in bounds. If there is no action at the edge of the mat, the referee may stop the wrestling.

SCORING OPPORTUNITIESTakedown. A takedown shall be awarded when, from the neutral position, a contestant gains control by taking the opponent down to the mat in bounds and beyond reaction time. When a significant portion of the defensive wrestler’s weight is borne on a hand(s), it is considered control. For the purpose of awarding takedown points at the edge of the wrestling area, points shall be awarded when control is established while any part of either wrestler finishes in bounds. If the foot of the wrestler attempting a takedown was outside the wrestling area, breaking the boundary of an imaginary cylinder surrounding and extending above the wrestling area, a takedown shall not be awarded.

escape. A defensive wrestler is awarded an escape when the offensive wrestler loses control of the opponent while any part of either wrestler remains in bounds. An escape may be awarded while the wrestlers are still in contact.

Reversal. A reversal occurs when the defensive wrestler comes from the bottom/e position and gains control of the opponent, either on the mat or in a rear-standing position. For the purpose of awarding reversal points at the edge of the wrestling area, points shall be awarded when control is established while any part of either wrestler remains in bounds.

Near fall. Two-point Near Fall. A near fall is a position in which the offensive wrestler has the opponent in a controlled pinning situation in which (1) the defensive wrestler is held in a high bridge or on both elbows, or (2) any part of one shoulder or scapula, or the head is touching the mat and the other shoulder or scapula is held at an angle of 45 degrees or less to the mat, or (3) any part of both shoulders or both scapulae are held within four inches of the mat. Two points shall be awarded for such near-fall situations when one of these three criteria has been met for two seconds. In any pinning situation, a near fall may occur if any part of the defensive wrestler’s pinning area remains in bounds. A continuous roll-through is not to be considered a near fall. Three-point Near Fall. If a criterion for a near fall is met and held uninterrupted for five seconds, three points shall be awarded. Counting the Near Fall. A verbal count and, whenever possible, a visual hand count shall be used in determining a near fall. A near fall is ended when the defensive wrestler gets out of a pinning situation. The referee must not signal the score for a near fall until the situation is ended. Only one near fall shall be scored when using the same pinning combination, regardless of the number of times the offensive wrestler places the defensive wrestler in a near-fall position during the pinning situation. Only the wrestler with the advantage, who has the opponent in a pinning situation, may score a near fall. Bridge-backs in body

scissors or bridgeovers with a wristlock are not considered near-fall situations, even though a fall may be scored. When defensive wrestlers place themselves in precarious situations during attempted escapes or reversals, particularly leg vines and body scissors, a near fall shall not be scored unless the offensive wrestler has control of and definitely has restrained the opponent in a pinning situation for two seconds.

Imminent Scoring. When a match is stopped for an injury during a scoring situation (e.g., takedown, reversal, escape) and the referee determines that scoring would have been successful if the wrestling had continued, the referee shall charge an injury timeout to the injured contestant and award applicable points to the non-injured wrestler.

Time Advantage. Recording Time Advantage. The offensive wrestler who has control in an advantage position is gaining time advantage (i.e., “riding time”). A timekeeper records that wrestler’s accumulated time advantage throughout the match. A multiple timer may be used to record the time advantage. At the end of the match, the referee subtracts the lesser time advantage from the greater. If a contestant has one minute or more of net time advantage, that wrestler is awarded one point.

END OF MATCHfall. Any part of both shoulders or part of both scapulae (For pinning area, of either wrestler held in contact with the mat for one second constitutes a fall. The one-second count (one-thousand-one) shall be a silent count by the referee and shall start only after the referee is in position to observe that a fall is imminent, after which the shoulders or scapulae area must be held in continuous contact with the mat for one second before a fall is awarded.

Technical fall. A technical fall terminates the match and occurs when a wrestler has earned a 15-point advantage over the opponent. A time-advantage point cannot be awarded until the third period has concluded. Five team points shall be scored for a technical fall if the winning wrestler was awarded a near fall during the match. Four team points shall be scored for a technical fall if the winning wrestler fails to score a near fall. A wrestler earning a differential of 15 points during a match can lose only by committing an act of flagrant misconduct.

Major decision. A major decision occurs when the margin of victory after three periods is eight through 14 points.

decision. A decision occurs when the margin of victory is fewer than eight points. A decision also is credited to the wrestler who is awarded the first point(s) in the sudden victory of an overtime match that does not end with a fall, default or disqualification. Default. A default is awarded in a match when one of the wrestlers is unable to continue due to an injury or by choice of his or her coach. A default shall be included as a win or loss in each wrestler’s individual season record.

Disqualification. A disqualification is a situation in which a contestant is banned from participation in accordance with the Penalty Table. A disqualification shall be included as a win or loss in each wrestler’s individual season record.

forfeit. A forfeit is received by a wrestler when the opponent, for any reason, fails to appear for the match. In order to receive a forfeit or medical forfeit, the nonforfeiting wrestler must be dressed in a wrestling uniform and appear on the mat. A forfeit or medical forfeit shall be included as a win in the victor’s season record. Similarly, a contestant shall not accept a forfeit in one weight class and compete in another class.

Medical forfeit. A medical forfeit may be declared when a contestant is injured or becomes ill during the course of tournament competition.
