02/23/15 – Bylaw 23 Waivers for Wrestling
With the necessary postponement of the KHSAA Wrestling State Championships to March 10-11, 2015, questions have arisen as to allowances for teams to continue practice and preparation for the state tournament. Several factors are involved including weight maintenance (although athletes should be wrestling at or near natural weight), and how to keep a high level of competitiveness over the course of the next two weeks. After much discussion the following waivers have been granted by the Commissioner to accommodate the schedule change, for 2015 only!
Initial Weight on March 10
- A one-pound growth allowance for each weight class will be granted for the first day of the tournament, March 10.
- An additional pound will be granted to each class for those wrestlers remaining in the tournament on March 11.
- Per NFHS rules, no other allowances will be granted.

2/20/15 – Taping For All-American Dive Consideration
Due to the decrease in the amount of deck space where diving is taped for All-American consideration, credentials will be required for those wishing to be on deck to videotape the diving sessions. Anyone wishing to access the deck during these sessions will be required to go to the team check-in/media check-in entrance each day to request their credentials. There will be a different color credential for each day and this credential will allow these individuals on deck only during the diving sessions of the meet. Coaches who are aware of anyone that plans on videotaping the diving sessions should share this information with those individuals. Filming this year will occur on the opposite side of the deck next to the judges. Due to limited space there will be a waiting area on deck and then an area to film which you will access when your athlete is ready to dive.
Also, as a reminder […]
02/18/15 – State Wrestling Tournament Postponed
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: February 18, 2015
In the interest of the safety and welfare of our competitors, coaches, workers and officials, and to ensure that participation experience for the student-athletes is optimal, the KHSAA has postponed the State Wrestling Championships, originally scheduled for February 19-21, until March 9-11.
“KHSAA State events are large-scale undertakings, and with the expansion of the State Tournament several years ago, we are very limited in options for holding the event,” said Commissioner Julian Tackett. “We absolutely have to be able to put down at least eight mats to get the tournament completed in two days, and that in and of itself limits our options. We are thankful our hosting partners at the Alltech Arena on the grounds of the Kentucky Horse Park were able to work out new dates. We tried to work cooperatively with another event that is scheduled for Sunday and rearrange schedules, but that group was unwilling […]
