Rance Stein served as a high school wrestling official for 30 years and as a freestyle and Greco-Roman official for 15 years.

He was a volunteer coach for Oklahoma City University women’s wrestling team from 2007-19, helping them to four Women’s Collegiate Wrestling Association national titles and five national dual titles.

But his contributions off the mat have been equally as impactful. He is a longtime member and officer of USA Oklahoma, a former member of the USA Wrestling Board of Directors and has served on numerous committees both at the state and national levels, including a long stint on the USA Wrestling Kids Council. His service to wrestling was instrumental in helping Oklahoma attract national events to the state, including USA Wrestling’s Junior National Duals and the women’s University Nationals.
