While he has remained in compliance with the strict NCAA Wrestling Weight Loss Certification Plan guidelines throughout the year, Kelliher's competition in four matches at 174 pounds violated NCAA wrestling bylaw 8.3.5.4 which states, in part, "A wrestler weighing in two weight classes above an original certified weight class shall forfeit his or her right to return to the original wrestled weight class."
After initially certifying at the 174-pound weight class prior to the beginning of the current 2011-12 competition season, Kelliher was permitted to compete in the 197-pound weight class as an unattached individual (not representing CMU) at the Eastern Michigan Open on Nov. 5, 2011. Kelliher wrestled three matches at 197 pounds at the tournament. Between Dec. 10, 2011 and Jan. 22, 2012, Kelliher competed in four dual meets for CMU at the 174-pound weight class.
Kelliher's results for the matches in which he wrestled are vacated. Team scores and all other results for those four dual meets are not changed.
