IHSAA investigating New Prairie High School assistant wrestling coach

New Prairie High School

NEW PRAIRIE, Ind. -- The Indiana High School Athletic Association confirmed to ABC57 News that New Prairie High School assistant coach Chris Fleeger is under investigation, for an undisclosed reason.

IHSAA Sports Information Director Jason Wille released the following statement:

"I can confirm there is an ongoing investigation into Chris Fleeger as it relates to the New Prairie wrestling program. Because of this ongoing investigation, the IHSAA cannot provide additional comment at this time."

Fleeger was in the news in early January for claims of alleged battery by Notre Dame head football coach Marcus Freeman at a wrestling match in Mishawaka where Freeman was supporting his son Vinny.

Freeman was not charged with anything related to the alleged altercation.

ABC57 reached out to New Prairie United School Corporation for comment. NPUSC Superintendent Paul White stated, per IHSAA by-laws, the IHSAA requires the district to investigate the situation, which it's doing.
