In federal court documents filed Nov. 8 in response to a lawsuit from the parents of Audrianna Beattie who was denied participation in the district's all-male wrestling program, Line Mountain School Board President Troy Laudenslager said many techniques and moves would involve physical contact between the "sensual body parts of the opposite sex."
For example, he said, a takedown called an inside step involves wrestlers taking a penetration step between the opponent's feet and picking up their legs. The wrestlers then place their face and forehead in the opponent's chest to keep them from sprawling and defending the technique.
While they are holding and pinching the opponent's leg between their own legs, they continually push their face in the opponent's chest to keep them off balance, Laudenslager said.
"A man placing his face on a female's chest during the technique causes serious issues to arise," he said.
The following is a list of wrestling moves and techniques listed in court documents from Laudenslager, Superintendent Dave Campbell and head varsity wrestling coach Mike Martz:
- Butt drags
