Daniel Leish sets Wyoming "near falls" points record

Daniel Leish recently set a new Wyoming single season record for "near fall" points.

What is a near fall?

It is when you have the opponents back to the mat and you are able to hold him there for 2-5 seconds (2 to 4 seconds equals 2 points, 5 seconds equals 3 points), obviously without their shoulders touching or that is a pin and the match is over. The 5 second hold is the most points you can get in each match and can happen multiple times.

Daniel still has the CHLs, Sectionals, etc. to extend his record.

Daniel now has 136 near fall points.  Teammate Neal Williams previously had the record.
