STILLWATER, OK - One of the most respected officials in the sport of wrestling will be inducted into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame for the Lifetime Achievement for Officials.     Fred Richardson of Reading, Pa., began wrestling in high school and continued while in the armed forces stationed in Germany.  He learned the art of officiating from Dr. Ray Sparks while in the military.  He began officiating high school matches in 1966 on American bases throughout Europe.    Upon returning to the U.S. in 1967, he continued to referee and coach wrestling to boys six to fourteen years of age.  After 14 years of dual responsibilities, he discontinued his coaching duties and focused solely on officiating.    Fred Richardson has accumulated 35 years of officiating experience.  He's worked 15 NCAA Division I championships, 20 EIWA championships, several NCAA Division II championships and eight Pennsylvania high school state tournaments.  Mr. Richardson has the distinction of being the only official to work every Virginia Duals tournament since its inception in 1980.      He has been extensively recognized for his proficiency and integrity on the mat.  Maybe the highest compliment made about a referee has been made about Richardson, "when he works a match you rarely know he's there".
