INDIANAPOLIS---The NCAA Division I Wrestling Games Committee has reprimanded University of Iowa student-athlete Brent Metcalf for inappropriate behavior following the 149-pound weight class match in the 2009 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships.

Specifically, Mr. Metcalf’s post-match actions of aggressively shoving his opponent jeopardized that student-athlete’s safety. Because of these actions, the committee decided to issue a public reprimand to Mr. Metcalf.

The wrestling committee was disappointed in Mr. Metcalf’s actions and strongly believes the championships should not be tarnished by such acts.
