Mike Miller finished one victory and four points shy of a dream season last year. He entered last season’s NCAA wrestling tournament as the No. 7 seed in the 174-pound class. In the quarterfinals, he upset No. 2 seeded Michael Cannon of American University. Then he beat No. 3 seeded Brandon Browne of Nebraska.
Steve Brown has won the last two Mid-American Conference Championships he competed in. Two seasons ago, Brown won at 157 pounds, defeating Bryan O’Connor from Northern Illinois 7-3 in the finals.
Senior reporter D.J. Palomares and staff reporter Matthew Valinski break down the Chippewas wrestling weight classes.
For senior Conor Beebe, 133 pounds was a little too heavy. However, when Beebe came to Central Michigan, Luke Smith was the wrestling team’s 125-pounder, and Beebe moved up to 133.

Several people took a good look at Rose Arena on Saturday as the groundbreaking for the CMU Events Center took place. Because for better or worse, the building soon will get a makeover.
Wrestling coach Tom Borrelli will get to match wits with his son this season. Jason Borrelli, a former CMU assistant in his second year as coach at Stanford, will come to Mount Pleasant when the two teams face each other Jan. 17. “(Jason) has a lot of allegiance to this program and I am excited he can bring his team here,” Borrelli said. “Being a head coach, and all the way across the country from me, it is going to be a real neat experience.”
