CIF places penalties on wrestling weight violation

Joe Naiman — Thu, 16 May 2013 14:03:00 -0700

The CIF San Diego Section now has a penalty for wrestlers who complete in a weight class below what their pre-season body assessment allows.A wrestler who competes in a class below his or her allowed weight division is now prohibited from wrestling in that competition and in the schools next scheduled competition. If the ineligible wrestler is competing in a tournament, he or she cannot wrestle for the remainder of the tournament as well as in the next scheduled competition. A unanimous CIF Board of Managers voice vote May 1 approved both the first reading and the adoption of the by-law change.Prior to the season wrestlers are tested for body fat. A minimum wrestling weight is established based on 7 percent body fat for males and 12 percent body fat for females (a wrestler who tests below that body fat may seek a waiver but may not wrestle at a weight class below that of their initial assessment). The sport also has weekly weight loss limits.In the San Diego Section there had been no penalty for wrestling in a weight below the minimum class allowed. I think it needs to be there, Schniepp said.The CIFs Coordinating Council recommended approval on a 24-9 vote; the opposition was based on the lack of penalties for a coach who allows such an ineligible wrestler.The school administrators would be expected to follow up with the coach who is intentionally violating the rule, Schniepp said.The issue may return to the Board of Managers with proposed penalties for coaches who violate the policy.

Each team, made up of six to 12 participants, split up 192.9 miles. The nonstop race started at Huntington Beach, stopping six places along the way, eventually finishing at the Embarcadero in San Diego.The route went south through Riverside County along Interstate-15 and included a stretch on Old Highway 395 through Rainbow, over Interstate 15, and continuing southbound from State Route 76. The runners could be seen that night with headlamps lighting their way.Each team was allowed only one runner at a time to run a leg of the race, alternating turns with their other teammates resulting in three legs per runner. The legs varied in distance amount, depending on the capability of that runner. Vans and volunteers helped throughout the race.Vicki Knox, from Fallbrook, completed 22 miles of her teams 192.9 miles. She said, The Ragnar Relay was one of the best experiences of my life! As captain of our team, On the Run that represented Fallbrook, I couldnt be more proud of how well we did. All 12 of us had never done this race before and in our Open Mixed Division we placed 51 out of 367 teams. Thats pretty incredible. We finished in 29 hours and 42 minutes. We all cant wait to beat that time next year...we will be back! Ragnar (named after a ninth-century Scandinavian hero and conqueror), has been a growing relay event since starting in Utah in 2004, and is now held in 13 places throughout North America.

CIF clarifies individual sport allowance for exhibition contests

Joe Naiman — Thu, 16 May 2013 13:59:00 -0700

The CIF Board of Managers voted to change the language of the by-law which allows for exhibition competitions so that such contests will specifically be allowed for individual sports as well as team sports.A voice vote May 1 to approve both the first reading and action had no opposition. The change also added a provision to the team sport allowance that should officials require any additional fees for officiating the exhibition segment such compensation will be negotiated between the host school and the officials association.The best example is fifth-quarter football that we allow freshman players, said CIF commissioner Jerry Schniepp. It allows for larger teams to get all their kids in some type of competition.Examples for an individual sport could include an extra lane in a swim or track and field meet, a set on an extra tennis court, or a competition on a wrestling or gymnastics mat. In the case of wrestling, the exhibition competitions would count towards the regular-season maximum of 40 matches a grappler can wrestle. The exhibitions in all sports would count towards the minimum number of events needed to qualify for CIF competition (that rule was put into place to prevent an athlete who does not participate with the team until the league tournament or meet from qualifying for the CIF tournament or meet at the league competition at the expense of an athlete who had been with the team throughout the year; a waiver for injuries or other reasons may be granted and competitions with the junior varsity squad count towards that minimum).There was no language in the by-laws for individual sports, Schniepp said. This adds the individual component to the team aspect of this.The specific requirements for individual sports mirror the team sport exhibition requirements that duly-appointed coaches are present and supervising, that the exhibitions count towards an individuals maximum number of contests, that the regular and exhibition competitions be held at the same site, that no athlete shall compete in an exhibition and the regular contest in the same sport during the same day or event, that written permission is granted by the principals of all schools involved, that participants represent their own school enrollment, and that the students meet all CIF and league eligibility requirements. The rules for team sport exhibitions include that team scores are not kept or reported; the individual sport rules include that individual scores are not kept or reported. The team sport rules prohibit the exhibition from being conducted concurrently with the regulation competition; the individual sport exhibitions may be conducted concurrently as well as immediately preceding or following the regulation event. The rule for team sports requires that the duration of the exhibition competition be shorter than the regular contest; there is no such requirement for individual sports.
