The great-outdoors item was part of a package of COVID-19 modifications the committee approved by a 16-0 vote. As part of the effort to stage an intensely physical, literally in-your-face sport during a pandemic, the wrestling committee s modifications include the line: When possible, schools are encouraged to host outdoor wrestling meets.
