Wrestle Against Autism is a joint venture between the Mad River Wrestling Officials Association and the Ohio State University wresting staff / team.

 

 

An integral part of any inter-scholastic wrestling match is the referee. The referee looks out for the safety of both wrestlers, allows the match to progress in an orderly manner, and utilizes the rules and interpretations of the rules to ensure that a winner will be named in a fair and honest competition.

 

The Mad River Wrestling Officials association  strives to provide:

 

A local wrestling officials association.  An interpretation of wrestling rules as established by the National Federation and OHSAA.  To encourage and assist in developing new officials.  To foster a high standard of ethics and professionalism.  To promote amateur wrestling, and to further the interest of wrestling in general.

 

What a year! The excitement and passion behind Ohio State wrestling is quickly being recognized by the wrestling community as one of most "dangerous" programs in recent wrestling history. Why dangerous? The country is no longer forced to debate the issue of potential and Ohio State wrestling. The issue of potential has been spoken of for decades. The country is now faced with an Ohio State wrestling program that has finally leaped the hurdle of potential and has awoken the beast known as the Sleeping Giant. The state of Ohio, the alumni, the parents and the student-athletes have all embraced the opportunity presented by the administration and coaching staff to be the best. We want to sincerely thank everyone involved for their support and recognizing the sacrifice and hard work that has gone into making this year the best year ever for the wrestling Buckeyes!
