ROCHESTER — An Apple Valley High School wrestler has been charged with two misdemeanors in the alleged assault of a wrestler from Oregon at a meet on Jan. 7, according to a report by the Rochester Post-Bulletin.
Harold Delancy, 19, faces two counts of disorderly conduct after he allegedly struck a 16-year-old wrestler from Oregon in the head with a chair at the Clash wrestling tournament at the University Center Rochester Regional Sports Center.
The Post-Bulletin reported that Delancy, a heavyweight, lost a match, then began throwing and kicking chairs that were arranged next to the mat. The victim was seated next to the mat and allegedly was struck with the legs of a chair that Delancy was holding, suffering a concussion.
Delancy was ejected from the event, which is considered the top prep duals meet in the nation, attracting teams from as far away as Oregon, California and Florida. Apple Valley won the tournament.
As of Friday night, Delancy was still listed on the Apple Valley roster. The Eagles are 18-time state champions and have won the past five Class 3A titles.
