Chippewa Nickname The Central Michigan University Board of Trustees has approved the continued use of the nickname “Chippewas” in association with CMU. The university’s goals are to use the name with honor and respect, increase supportive connections between CMU and Native Americans and improve efforts to sensitize students, faculty and staff to Native American traditions and cultures. Media representatives have been extremely cooperative as we have worked to address this important issue. In nearly all cases, print and broadcast reporters have supported CMU’s efforts to eliminate the use of symbols, headlines and copy that present inappropriate and inaccurate images of Native Americans. Central Michigan University is grateful for your help, and we ask for your continued cooperation and sensitivity. With your assistance, we can continue to use the Chippewa name with dignity and respect.

Eight Starters Return for CMUThe Chippewas return eight starters from last season, but several of those returners could be competing in different weight class from a year ago. Scotti Sentes and Conor Beebe, the Chippewas’ starters at 125 and 133 pounds, respectively, last season, will likely trade weight classes this season. Tony D’Alie, Steve Brown and Tyler Grayson all will likely move up one weight class after starting at 141, 149 and 157 pounds, respectively, last season. The Chippewas’ remaining returning starters are Mike Miller (174), Eric Simaz (197) and Jarod Trice (285).

Miller Back for MoreMike Miller returns for his junior season after finishing as the national runner-up at 174 pounds last season. The two-time All-American is just the fifth national finalist in school history.

MAC Championships in Mount PleasantCMU is hosting the Mid-American Conference Championships March 6-7. The Chippewas will be seeking their ninth consecutive conference tournament title. CMU last hosted the MAC Championships in 2003.

Chippewas Prepare for Final Season in Rose CenterThe 2009-10 season will be

CMU’s last competing in the current arena at Rose Center. Beginning next year, the Chippewas will compete in the new 5,300-seat CMU Events Center. The arena renovation and expansion project also includes a new 6,000-square-foot practice facility for the wrestling program.

Two All-Americans ReturnMike Miller (second, 174) and Scotti Sentes (seventh, 125) both earned All-America honors at the 2009 NCAA Championships. CMU produced multiple All-Americans for the sixth straight season and ninth time in the last 10 years. Twenty-nine Chippewas have earned All-America honors during Tom Borrelli’s tenure as CMU’s head coach.

In-State SuccessCMU has won nine consecutive duals against programs in the state of Michigan. The Chippewas’ last loss to an in-state foe was a 22-14 decision against then No. 2 Michigan in 2005. CMU has won three straight duals against Michigan, eight straight against Michigan State and 17 straight against Eastern Michigan. CMU will compete against Michigan State and Eastern Michigan this season.

Sentes’ Strong StartLast season saw Scotti Sentes become the first true freshman in CMU history to earn All-America honors.

He finished 30-8 overall, establishing a new school record for victories by a true freshman, and finished seventh at 125 pounds at the NCAA Championships. Sentes became the first CMU true freshman to win a MAC championship since Ryan Cunningham won the 150-pound title in 1997.

CMU in the MACCMU has won eight straight MAC Championships titles, the longest streak in conference history. The Chippewas have won 57 of their last 59 conference duals dating back to the 1997-98 season. CMU had a streak of 10 straight MAC regular season championships snapped last season; the Chippewas’ streak of 10 straight conference titles was the second-longest in any sport in MAC history.

The ScheduleCMU will host five duals in addition to the MAC Championships this season. The Chippewas’ nonconference schedule includes home duals against Chattanooga, Stanford and Michigan State. Stanford is coached by Jason Borrelli, a 2006 CMU graduate and son of CMU head coach Tom Borrelli. CMU also will compete at the prestigious Midlands and National Duals events. The NCAA Championships are slated for March 18-20 in Omaha.

Tom BorrelliHead Coach19th Season

Tom Borrelli has built a dynasty in his 18 seasons as the head coach at Central Michigan University. His tenure has seen the Chippewas claim 10 Mid-American Conference titles and 11 MAC Championships crowns, including eight straight. CMU has boasted multiple All-Americans each of the past six seasons and a total of nine times under Borrelli’s watch. Considered by many to be in a rebuilding mode for the 2008-09 campaign, CMU simply tied a school record for dual meet wins (17), claimed its eighth consecutive conference tournament championship, won the Virginia Duals team title and advanced eight individuals to the NCAA Championships, two of whom earned All-America honors. CMU tallied 111.5 team points at the MAC Championships, the fourth-highest total in conference tournament history, and 35 points at the NCAA Championships, the sixth-most in school history. Sophomore Mike Miller, seeded seventh at the NCAA Championships, finished as the national runner-up at 174 pounds. He was CMU’s second national finalist in as many years. Borrelli became the school’s all-time wins leader while leading the Chippewas to their 10th consecutive conference crown in 2008. A 19-16 victory over No. 11 Ohio State at National Duals was Borrelli’s 196th career victory, passing Chick Sherwood’s mark of 195 wins from 1965-89. Borrelli’s mark as the Chippewas’ mentor currently stands at 221-90-7 overall. CMU climbed to No. 2 in the national polls during the final week of the 2007-08 season, its highest ranking in program history. The Chippewas won 16 duals, tied for the second-most in a season in school history, and defended their team title at the Reno Tournament of Champions. CMU posted its fifth straight unbeaten MAC dual season, then won seven individual titles, the second most during Borrelli’s tenure, in securing their seventh straight conference tournament crown. CMU capped its historic season by finishing in a tie for seventh at the 2008 NCAA Championships, scoring a school-record 69 team points. Four Chippewas earned All-America honors, including 197-pound national runner-up Wynn Michalak. In 2007, CMU established a new school record with 17 dual wins. Six Chippewas won titles at the MAC Championships and eight earned bids to the NCAA Championships. Three of those eight national qualifiers went on to earn All-America honors. That performance came on the heels of a 2006 season in which, despite fielding a lineup with five new starters, CMU defended its MAC regular season and tournament titles, posted program-best finishes of second at Midlands and fourth at National Duals, rose to fourth in the NWCA/InterMat top 25 poll and boasted a

pair of All-Americans. Following the 2005-06 season, Borrelli was rewarded with a new four-year contract, becoming the first Olympic sport head coach at CMU to sign a multi-year contract. The Chippewas’ dominance of the MAC under Borrelli has been nothing short of remarkable. CMU has won 57 of its last 59 conference outings. Overall, the Chippewas are 77-13 in MAC duals under Borrelli and have won a total of 10 MAC titles and 11 MAC Championships titles. A well-respected coach on the national level, Borrelli was honored by his peers when he was presented with the National Wrestling Coaches Association Bob Bubb Coaching Excellence Award at the 2004 NCAA Championships. The annual award is given to one coach in each division in recognition of his contribution to the sport. Borrelli was honored as National Coach of the Year by two organizations in 1998. The NWCA tabbed Borrelli at its annual convention in Colorado Springs and Wrestling International Newsmagazine (W.I.N.) honored Borrelli and Minnesota’s J Robinson with the Dan Gable Coach of the Year award. He has been named MAC Coach of the Year a conference-record 10 times in his career (1992, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008), while no other MAC wrestling head coach has won the award more than five times. CMU won MAC championships in 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 and the MAC Championships title in 1998, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009. CMU has won at least 10 duals in 15 of Borrelli’s 18 seasons. Borrelli has coached one national champion, 29 All-Americans, seven MAC Wrestler of the Year honorees, 65 MAC champions, 103 national qualifiers, seven NWCA All-Academic first team selections, 34 Academic All-MAC first team selections and seven MAC Freshman of the Year selections. Just as important as the Chippewas’ peformance on the mat is their achievement in the classroom.CMU wrestling has finished in the top 16 nationally in team GPA in 15 of the past 16 seasons. The Chippewas peaked with a third-place ranking in 1994 and 2003. Wynn Michalak (2008) and Mark DiSalvo (2006) were recipients of NCAA Postgraduate Scholarships. Both earned CoSIDA/ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America honors following their senior seasons.Before coming to CMU, Borrelli was the head coach at Lake Superior State University for five seasons. He compiled a 46-25-1 record and led his team to five top 20 finishes from 1986-91. The Lakers won the NCAA Division II Mideast Regional in 1987 and 1991. LSSU won the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) championship in 1991, and Borrelli was named GLIAC Coach of the Year. His first head coaching tenure produced 17 All-Americans, 26 Division II national tournament qualifiers and two Division II national finalists. Borrelli was an assistant at Clemson University for two years from 1984-86. He earned a master’s degree in education administration and supervision from Clemson in 1987. Borrelli was a standout wrestler at The Citadel. A four-year letterman from 1975-79, he finished his college career with a 58-27-2 record and twice was named the Bulldogs’ Most Outstanding Wrestler. He graduated in 1979 with a bachelor of science degree in physical education. He and his wife, Lorri, reside in Mount Pleasant. They have two sons, Bob (31) and Jason (28), both of whom wrestled at CMU. Jason is in his second season as the head wrestling coach at Stanford University.
