Demetrios Panteleakis has been the president of the Macmillan Group, Inc., in Springfield, Massachusetts since 2016. In his spare time, Demetrios Panteleakis coaches high school wrestling.
During its April 2-4, 2017 meeting, the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) Board of Directors approved all 11-rule changes advised by the NFHS Wrestling Rules Committee. These new rules will go into effect for the 2017-18 season.
Perhaps the most controversial change was allowing the substitution of a two-piece uniform in place of the traditional wrestling singlet. The new uniform will consist of compression shorts with an inseam of at least four inches and not extend below the knee. The compression shirt will reach the elbow, and the shirts tail must go at least three inches below the waist.
The committee also adopted a new rule to limit injuries. Wrestlers will no longer be allowed to engage in any activity to stimulate weight loss after failing to make weight on the first attempt: This rule includes dehydration, cutting hair, and altering clothes.
