Academic reorganization reports to hit Ross’ desk soon

By Sara Kellner Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Following the release of final Committee II reports on March 26, the Academic Organizational Review is moving along at a steady pace, said Ian Davison, senior vice provost for the Academic Reorganization Initiative.

Davison said three committees — Departments and Colleges, Academic Support and Responsibility Centered Management — are finalizing reports.

They will be sent to President George Ross upon completion.

The committees collected proposals from the campus community until November, then began reviewing the proposals to create recommendations.

Preliminary recommendations for all committees were released Jan. 30.

Committee III, Responsibility Centered Management, updated its recom-

mendations Feb. 20. Davison said its final revision should be released in the next week.

Committee II, Academic Support, released its finalized IAN DAVISON report March 26.

Committee I, Departments and Colleges, released updated recommendations Feb. 27.

Affected departments and colleges have since held votes to approve the proposals.

All versions of the recommendations are available to view on the AOR webpage.

Committee I was responsible for reviewing the organization of departments and programs in each college.

Departments voted before March 12 and approved all recommendations.

Colleges finished voting March 27 and also passed all recommendations. Now is a two-week objection period for the

recommendations. If someone objects to a recommendation, Academic Senate will vote on it April 10.

“Objections can be made by the president, the provost, a dean or a department,” Davison said. “A student couldn’t object and neither could an individual faculty member.”

If there are no objections, the report will go to Ross, who will present his final recommendations to the CMU Board of Trustees in June.

All recommendations passed for Committee I. For the full voting results, visit cm-life.com.

The revised recommendations for Committee II include centralizing student advising and acknowledgement of the problems in the Counseling Center.

The recommendations includes: · Centralize all student advising within the Academic Division and implement mandatory, annual advising. · Consolidate all university-wide

recruitment efforts within Enrollment and Student Services. · Combine all testing and proctoring into a single unit.

The committee recommends making advising mandatory for students to ensure students are scheduling correctly and on track to graduate.

The committee suggests requiring new freshmen to meet with an adviser three times their first year (once at orientation and once per semester) and once per year until graduation. To implement mandatory advising, registration for classes will be conditional on meeting with an adviser.

Davison said Committee II’s report is complete, except for the Counseling Center. The committee isn’t planning to make changes to the current report, but instead, plans to issue a separate report with recommendations for the Counseling Center, once solutions have been introduced.

The committee is still accepting suggestions regarding the Counseling

Center. Anyone with information about the Counseling Center is urged to contact Davison or a member of Committee II so the committee.

“We need to think carefully about this,” Davison said. “This is such an important problem, we need to think carefully about it and come up with a solution that is actually the right solution.”

Davison hopes recommendations for the Counseling Center will be complete by the end of the semester but stressed that the committee doesn’t want to rush to a solution without exhausting every alternative.

No changes have been made to Committee III’s recommendations or the provost’s plan to reorganize the academic division.

Davison said all committees are still accepting feedback. The campus community can provide feedback by contacting Davison or a committee member or by completing an anonymous survey on the AOR website.

Annual Greek Week Mock Rock takes place April 5

By Kersten Kruse Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Fraternity and sorority members will fill the stands and stage for Mock Rock at 6 p.m. April 5 in McGuirk Arena to raise money for Women’s Aid Service and Special Days Camps.

A competition involving choreographed dance battles between fraternities and sororities, Mock Rock is a part of Central Michigan University’s annual Greek Week.

Tickets are $5 and are sold

by Greek Life members. Tickets will also be sold at the door.

Each participant is required to sell at least one ticket, immediately generating a minimum of $7,185 for both non-profits.

Total money raised during Greek Week will be announced at

Mock Rock. Events prior to Mock Rock consist of athletic games, a day of service and keynote speakers who discuss philanthropy.

Mock Rock teams usually comprise a fraternity, sorority and sometimes include a multicultural sorority or fraternity too. Four

teams this year will include a multicultural chapter out of 10 teams.

“We allow any greek organization to participate,” said Interfraternity Council President Galen Miller.

Vice president and chief diversity officer forums end

By Rob Linsley and Jeremy Agosta Staff Reporters news@cm-life.com

Two finalists for Central Michigan University’s newlycreated vice president and chief diversity officer position were interviewed this week.

A.T. Miller, assistant vice provost of academic diversity at Cornell University, visited campus on March 28. Cecil Howard, interim associate vice president, chief diversity officer and Title IX coordinator for the University of South Florida system and chief diversity officer at the University of South Florida St. Petersburg, participated in forums on March 29.

According to the official job description, the vice president and chief diversity officer will report to the president and be a member of the executive cabinet.

This person will develop and implement strategies to further diversity on campus and create a diverse, inclusive and welcoming environment on campus.

Two other finalists, Carmen Suarez and Brian Corpening, visited campus on March 19 and March 20.

MILLER CONNECTS PAST TO POSITION Miller said his experiences with diversity in his life and career have helped him pursue different programs to promote inclusion in the workplace.

A University of Pennsylvania alumnus, Miller said he has worked with faculty at CMU in the past and as a consultant for Teaching for Inclusion.

If he were hired at CMU, Miller said he would advocate for events with the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe — having worked a lot with the Ojibwe Language program during his time at the University of Michigan. Miller believes the use of the Chippewas as the name is something that could be reviewed.

Miller said he is interested in the position at CMU because he wants to work at an institution that is more accessible.

“The idea of bringing things

Mahriah Wilson | Staff Photographer A.T. Miller speaks during an open forum for his Chief Diversity Officer’s position on March 28 at the Bovee University Center.

I have learned and experiences I have gained to where the action is,” Miller said.

Miller also discussed people with disabilities in his forums, saying admissions needs to make it clear that CMU has accommodations for people with disabilities. Miller said the more that students with disabilities come in, the easier it will be for teachers to see it as a normal thing. He said Disability Services needs to be available to everyone, not just students, and teachers also need to look at resources.

Miller said there are many things that can be improved without funding — just by listening to each other.

“When you improve things for people who are disabled, everyone’s lives improve,” he said.

HOWARD EMPHASIZES EMPATHY After researching CMU, Howard said there are strengths that he feels could be improved.

“The more I studied and researched CMU, the more intrigued and impressed I became with what’s going on at your university and where you’re poised to go,” Howard said.

Howard was the last of four candidates to participate in forums for CMU’s vice president and chief diversity officer.

Howard serves as interim associate vice president, chief diversity officer and Title IX coordinator for the University of South Florida system, in addition to holding the position of chief diversity officer at the University of South Florida St. Petersburg.

“It’s kind of crazy doing two jobs at once, but someone’s got to do the work,” Howard said.

What Howard hopes to bring to CMU involves intentionally putting together groups of diverse people who might be offended by each other’s opinions — people who may distrust or even dislike

each other, he said. These 12-person groups would meet two hours once a week for six weeks, discussing issues such as race and

implicit bias.

Ultimately, these groups would decide on a recommendation to solve a problem they

see around campus. They would then pitch that idea to student government, administration or even the state legislature.

Howard called this idea “earth-shattering” and “lifechanging” for him.

Additionally, these diverse groups have a unique ability to persuade people in authority, Howard said.

“Typically, you see people with the same characteristics coming to ask you to dismantle something and it’s easy for you to tell them no,” Howard said. “But when you see a diverse group of people from all backgrounds asking for action, you are blown away because you now see that everybody is empathizing with everybody else.”

Annual Threads Fashion Show highlights need for continued support of university’s creative programs

T

wenty years ago, there was no way students and faculty could have known that “Fusion 2K” would change the game for the fashion program at Central Michigan University.

From that first show, the event was refitted and reimagined until if became the annual Threads Fashion Show we look forward to each spring.

Threads came from humble beginnings — an event in Finch Fieldhouse showcasing students who didn’t design, but put together outfits for models to strut down a runway. Now student designers create their own looks and help set trends like CMU’s own version of “Project Runway.”

It also attracts fashion industry icons like “Project Runway” star Tim Gunn, for the 2017 show, and Dior illustrator Bil Donovan who will be attending this year’s event.

What went from a gathering of a few fashion students has now become the most anticipated event of the Spring semester. This year’s show — at 8 p.m. April 7 in Finch Fieldhouse — is expected to raise even more money than last year’s $80,000.

Student show-producers have even teased there being a surprise during the event.

During a semester when CMU is busy charting its future through an academic reorganization and a presidential search, we believe this is a moment to admire the myriad humanities programs thriving on campus.

Recently, all this planning for

EDITORIAL

the future seems concentrated on making CMU an institution focused on science, technology, engineering and mathematics degrees, advancing our mission to become an first-tier research university and continuing to promote the medical school.

Threads seems perfectly designed to embody CMU’s past and future.

It’s a New Venture competition for humanities students — a chance for the creative and artistic to take the stage and give students a break from the constant barrage of the university’s promotion of STEM, athletics and College of Medicine.

The show gives students the opportunity to not just flex their creative muscles, but bring together those STEM and business school qualities CMU preaches: the mathematics of measurements to make the perfect fit of clothing, using technology with 3D printers or design programs to bring a garment to life on a computer, engineering it all together from paper onto person and develop a student’s ability to explore an entrepreneurial process — the list goes on.

Threads is something that hasn’t just survived for 20 years at the university, it’s thrived — taking on a life of its own that spans the entire

academic year.

So go to the show this Saturday.

Get your tickets soon: this show will likely sell out.

See some amazing works of art crafted by your peers and get a chance to meet some amazing minds in the world of fashion.

Support your fellow students.

Funds from this year’s show give them the opportunity to put on an even better show next year, letting them push the boundaries of what students can create.

Each year, the fabric of Threads is being redesigned to make each event bigger and better than the last.

Be a part of it.

Student support line receiving more reports each semester news@cm-life.com

Deanna Johnson sits at her desk with a big, red heart charm on her necklace and a large binder full of resources she consults when responding to reports made to the Care Team.

“People joke that I say, ‘have bag, will travel,’” Johnson said about her book of resources. “I keep this with me at all times.”

Johnson is team coordinator for the Care Team at Central Michigan University. The Care Team aims to help students and connect them with resources they need, whether those resources are on campus, in the Mount Pleasant area or near the student’s hometown. The team comprises representatives from 10 offices around campus that provide students help with mental health, financial, academic and other issues. Among the offices included are the CMU Police Department, the Counseling Center and Student Disability Services.

Care Team has members in various offices to make sure students can get connected with someone best suited to help them, either by directly consulting with students or by helping students get in touch with groups who can help.

CMU established the Take Care initiative in 2003. It put in place steps

students can take to maintain the physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing of themselves and others. The university saw how helpful the initiative was and expanded on it, Johnson said. This was when the Care Team was started in 2005.

In 2013, the university further expanded the system when a reporting mechanism was put into place.

Students, faculty members or family members can now file reports on students they are worried about, Johnson said. Students in need can even file reports on themselves.

There is a phone line and an online application for reports, Johnson said, but the online reports are the preferred option.

When a report is made, it goes to the inbox of all team members. From there, the team decides who is best suited to reach out to that student on a case-bycase basis. Except for extreme cases like when a student threatens to harm or kill themselves, the team must respect if a student declines their help.

“We are careful about trying not to be intrusive,” Johnson said. “The spirit of this effort is to look out for each other.”

In the last four years the number of reports have increased.

Fall 2014: the team received 95 reports Fall 2015: the team received 102 reports

Fall 2016: the team received 141 reports Fall 2017: the team received more than 365 reports The increase in reports is due to a variety of factors, Johnson said, and the growing awareness about the reporting system is one of them.

CMUPD Lt. Larry Klaus, a member of the Care Team, believes one of the factors could be that students are more open to talk about their mental health.

“It’s not just us here at CMU, it’s throughout the country that we are seeing this,” Klaus said.

As efforts have grown, and the amount of reports have increased, Klaus said. It’s been challenging to keep up.

“We’re not overloaded, but we’re getting close,” he said. “We may need to pull in additional personnel to help address the (reports).”

CMUPD Sgt. Mike Morrow works with Klaus to check on students in distress and connect them with mental health resources. They also work to transport students who are having a mental health crisis to the Counseling Center so they can be helped in an urgent appointment.

Freeland senior Macey Miller heard about the Care Team when a member spoke to the Honors Outreach Network and is glad it’s a resource available to students and faculty members on campus.

Journalism students receive national Pulliam Fellowships

By Raquel Mance Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

For the first time in the history of Central Michigan University’s journalism department, two students were chosen to participate in the same Pulliam Journalism Fellowship summer program.

Beginning in May, Central Michigan Life Editor-In-Chief Jordyn Hermani and 2017 alumna Zahra Ahmad will become full-time newsroom members of The Indianapolis Star and Arizona Republic. These two newspapers offer real-world experience to 25 students from across the nation. Ten students are

chosen for The Indianapolis Star and 15 are chosen for the Arizona Republic.

“Congratulations to Jordyn and Zahra — the Pulliam Fellowship recognizes their good work and great promise, and it’s an outstanding achievement for the students, the Department of Journalism and CM Life,” said Timothy Boudreau, chair of the journalism department.

Assignments for this fellowship include news, sports, feature and business reporting, according to Russ Pulliam, director of the Pulliam Journalism Fellowship. In addition, there are also fellowships for copy editing, photography, graphic design and digital/social media.

“Our objective is to provide a bridge from the classroom to the newsroom with practical experience and professional editing,” said Pulliam, columnist at The Indianapolis Star.

Throughout this 10-week program, interns not only gain professional journalism experience, they also participate in writing workshops, create work for publication and earn $650/week, while learning from some of the top minds in the field.

Hermani, 22, of Troy, Michigan, will work in Indianapolis. In May, she will graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree, double majoring in political science and journalism. In the Spring

2017, she became the first CMU student to study abroad in Moscow, Russia.

As editor-in-chief of CM Life, CMU’s award-winning student media company, Hermani lead the coverage of the March 2 Campbell Hall double homicide.

“Being chosen for the Pulliam Fellowship is an amazing opportunity that I’m honored to be a part of,” Hermani said. “Having the ability to take what I’ve learned at CMU and bring it to work with some of the best journalists in the industry is beyond humbling.”

Ahmad, 22, was born in Sulaymaniyah, Iraq Kurdistan. When she was three years old, she and her family moved to Lansing. In December 2017,

Ahmad graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in journalism and a minor in biology. During her time at CM Life, Ahmad served as news editor and presentation editor. Currently, Ahmad is an intern at The Flint Journal and will work for Arizona Republic this summer.

“I’m honored to have been chosen as a Pulliam Fellow with the Arizona Republic,” Ahmad said. “My years spent in the CM Life office has provided me with opportunities to excel at journalism. As I start this next chapter in my life, I won’t be reluctant to call onto the skills I’ve honed early on in my collegiate journalism career.”

SHOWCASING THE URE OF FASHION

BY EMILLY DAVIS

hreads 2.0: Evolution’ l showcase nt fashion ns April 7

Futuristic designs ranging from elegant wedding gowns to rave wear, created by fashion students, will be showcased on the runway during the 20th annual Threads Fashion Show.

The show’s theme is “Threads: 2.0: The Evolution,” in honor of its 20th anniversary. The show will be looking back at the history of fashion and the fashion show, while also looking forward to “the future of fashion.”

The 45 minute show is at 8 p.m. April 7 in Finch Fieldhouse. General admission tickets are $12. VIP tickets are $55 and include priority seating, a VIP bag and access to a private reception at 6 p.m. in the Grawn Hall Atrium.

“We want to look back on our past shows and show how much we’ve transformed and grown from the beginning of Threads,” said Alexis Kelly, the show’s director of Public Relations and graphics. “When we first started out, students didn’t even design clothing, they just put outfits together. We’ve come a long way since then.”

A Farmington Hills junior, Kelly is one of 44 students in FMD 357, the class that plans and organizes Threads. The show features the work of 21 fashion students modeled by 95 student volunteers.

To honor the production’s 20th anniversary, the students wanted to create an entirely new experience, said Farmington Hills junior Leah Robinson, the director of logistics and model committee.

“We want to surprise people while celebrating the past, present and future of this organization,” Robinson said. “Threads has always followed the same pattern, and people know what to expect. We wanted to challenge that.”

One thing about Threads that guests can expect to be distinctively different is look of the venue, Finch Fieldhouse. Student producer Alyssa Kohler is in charge of designer submissions, hospitality and the venue.

The Flushing junior said she thinks the venue will be “the part of the show that stands out the most from the past.”

When asked what will be different compared to previous shows, Kohler smiled and said, “You’ll see.”

Threads is largely funded by the ticket sales from the prior year’s show. Kohler said Threads is a not-for-profit event. The goal is to make enough money to ensure next year’s students will have the funds to put on the show.

Students also raise money throughout the year through hosting various events, such as the March 27 Threads Resale event, during which fashion students donated their gently-used clothing to be sold to raise money for the show.

Ian Mull, Threads faculty advisor, said the show also has a number of sponsors, including the Foster Swift and Collins law firm, the College of

Education and Human Services and First Impressions, a consignment shop on campus.

Last year, Threads was hosted by Tim Gunn, famous co-host of the reality TV show, Project Runway. Gunn acted as the celebrity guest judge and host for the show.

This year, Threads will be hosted by Dior fashion illustrator, Bil Donovan. During the course of the weekend, Donovan will meet with students involved in the show to give them feedback on their work.

Mull said he tries to make Threads seem as close to a New York fashion show as he can. He tries to bring in fashion industry icons so students “can get bigger opportunities that they can’t always get in Mount Pleasant, Michigan.”

Cecelia Alfaro said the hardest part of being a designer is distinguishing yourself and “finding your niche.” The Grand Blanc senior said she learned new, innovative ways to create pieces.

“I incorporated advanced and detailed construction techniques, new digital technology and used experimental fabrics to create a collection that would capture who I am as a designer,” she said.

Alfaro said the experience also taught her a valuable lesson she couldn’t have received in a classroom – to not fear failure.

In her fourth year participating in Threads, Alfaro said she wanted her collection combine all of the skills and techniques she’s learned throughout her college career.

“I truly became a better and more talented designer through this collection,” she said.

Having seen the show evolve during her time at CMU, Alfaro said her favorite part about Threads is seeing the collections students have been working on come together.

“Seeing the collection that you completely made on your own walk down the runway is an amazing feeling,” she said. “The sense of pride and accomplishment is overwhelming.”

Tickets can be purchased from any FMD 357 student or Ticket Central.

DETERMINED TO BECOME A CHIPPEWA Bonamego challenges Bunting to switch positions after signing as a safety

By Evan Petzold Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

On a chilly January day in 2015, Dan Enos resigned from his position as Central Michigan football head coach to go to Arkansas.

The moment Enos’ departure was official it also meant that Sean Bunting had lost his scholarship offer.

“I got offered after my senior football season

by Enos. He came to one of my basketball games on a Tuesday and offered me on the spot,” Bunting said.

Excited about the opportunity to become a Chippewa, Bunting received the scholarship offer from Enos in early January. An in-home visit scheduled at his house in Clinton Township. The day before his in-home visit, Bunting learned of Enos’ resignation. Enos never showed up for the meeting.

“It happened before signing day, so I didn’t know what to do next,” Bunting said. “I was being heavily recruited by Ferris State, Saginaw Valley State and Northwood, but I wanted to go to CMU. I knew I could play Division I football.”

On Feb. 4, National Signing Day, Bunting was scheduled to make an appearance at Chippewa Valley High School to sign with Ferris

State. Instead, Bunting thought of the Chippewas.

He had second thoughts about Ferris State and skipped the signing.

Two weeks later his mother KimberSean Bunting ly stepped in.

“My mom called me and asked me what I was doing tomorrow,” Bunting said. “She basically said we needed to drive up to (CMU) and figure something out.”

Taking I-75 North from Clinton Township to Mount Pleasant for just less than 150 miles, Kimberly drove her son to meet CMU’s new head coach John Bonamego. Little did Bunting know, he had been on Bonamego’s radar for weeks.

“As soon as I got there, I had to go to the bathroom,” Bunting said. “When I came out, my mom was talking to coach Bono and he said he was getting ready to call me. He brought me down to his office and offered me the grayshirt opportunity there.

“Right away, I said, ‘Where are the papers?

Let me sign.’ God blessed me with an opportunity to be here.”

Being on a budget never looked so good.

Ariana Strzalka | Staff Photographer Sophomore defensive back Sean Bunting blocks Rhode Island’s Khayri Denny in the football game against Rhode Island on Aug. 31 in Kelly/Shorts Stadium.

Instead of paying for his first semester of school and waiting until the second semester to be on scholarship like most grayshirt prospects, Bunting decided to wait it out.

He did not start classes in Mount Pleasant until January, which is when he became a fulltime scholarship student-athlete.

“It was frustrating but I was still around football,” Bunting said. “My high school coach had me come back and help coach them. It hurt being in the room watching the games because I knew the guys I was getting recruited with were dressed and ready to go.”

When he finally arrived on campus, Bunting started as a safety. He tried switching to receiver a couple of times, but has now solidified himself as a top cornerback for CMU, weighing in at 180 pounds.

“They had me at safety and I had to tackle dudes like Devon Spalding, who was 215, 220 (pounds) back there,” Bunting said. “I knew that wouldn’t work, so they switched me cornerback.

I texted coach and asked to play receiver.”

Bonamego told Bunting he needed to make a choice: he could work to be an average receiver or try to become an NFL-caliber corner.

“From that day, it was motivation,” Bunting said.

Losing seniors Amari Coleman, Josh Cox and Darwyn Kelly to graduation, the junior tobe is left to command the secondary.

“We lost a big portion of our secondary, so we just want to establish our identity again,” Bunting said. “As long as we do what we are supposed to do, we will be satisfied.”

The Chippewas’ Spring Game is on Saturday, April 21 at Kelly/Shorts Stadium.

Junior outfielder Curtis wants to build off last season’s success

By Mitchell Vosburg Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

Allison Curtis hopes the 2018 season will continue a trend following her since high school — success.

The Tuscon, Arizona native is a two-time first team All Mid-American Conference selection, earning first team All-MAC freshman honors in 2016 and Great Lakes All-Region second team in 2017.

The junior outfielder sported a .336 batting average her freshman season with 15 RBIs, seven stolen bases and 44 hits. She boasted a fielding percentage of 1.000. Curtis’ .374 on-base percentage ranked No. 3 on the 2016 squad.

Curtis’ numbers improved in 2017 with a .377 average, 63 hits, 10 doubles and 20 RBIs. Her .407 on-base percentage trailed only Allison Curtis Lacy Tolfree for the team-high.

In 25 games this season, Curtis owns a .293 batting average with one home run and eight RBIs. Curtis first gained attention from the Chippewa softball staff while playing in a showcase in California.

“We were impressed by how she played as much as how good she was,” said head coach Margo Jonker. “(Curtis) seemed to love the game

and play with passion, sometimes that’s more difficult to find.”

Former assistant coach Joanna Lane gave her contact information to Curtis’ coach after a game — hopeful to get the eventual second team AllState outfielder to Mount Pleasant.

“A lot of times when we can get recruits to (visit) campus they tend to like our campus a lot,” Jonker said. “We brought her here and she liked it. Obviously it had to do with our staff and student athletes, as well as our campus.”

Once Curtis visited CMU for the first time she knew she would one day wear Maroon and Gold.

Curtis also liked the idea of playing for Jonker.

“The stadium is already named after her. She’s a wellknown coach everywhere,” Curtis said. “It’s pretty awesome I get to play for a coach like that. I’m pretty lucky.”

Curtis selected CMU over Minnesota, Southern Mississippi and Southern Illinois.

campaign where she earned first team All-Southern Arizona honors and second team All-State.

Curtis hit .448 with two home runs and 23 stolen bases while striking out once in 194 at bats during her junior and senior seasons.

Although she found success in Arizona, Curtis was not prepared for Michigan’s winter.

“It was hard to get used to,” Curtis said. “I didn’t have a winter coat yet, so I had to buy my first winter coat. It was very different, but I’ve

gotten used to it now.”

While most CMU athletes are recruited in-state or in the Great Lakes area, Curtis lives 1,618 miles from home, a hurdle she cleared thanks to the people closest to her.

“When I’m playing softball I’m not thinking about being homesick,” Curtis said. “I talk to my family a lot and all the players here are really supportive.

On Thanksgiving I’d go home with my roommate or some people. (It’s) a family feeling.”

One MAC Champion, no All-Americans highlight wrestling season

By Mitchell Vosburg Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

Central Michigan wrestling only named one Mid-American Conference Champion in the 2017-18 season — Matt Stencel.

Wrestling in his first season as a redshirt freshman, Stencel was the only Chippewa to earn MAC Champion honors. He is CMU’s first MAC Champion since Jordan Ellingwood in 2016. The Chippewas did not have any All-Americans in the NCAA Tournament.

“I think he was kind of upset they seeded him fifth,” said head coach Tom Borrelli following Stencel’s MAC title victory. “He was the highest ranked (285-pound wrestler) entering the tournament in the coaches polls. I think it motivated him.”

Originally, the heavyweight starting spot was expected to go to reigning NCAA qualifier Newton Smerchek, who started at the position in the 2016-17 season. Stencel took his starting spot and became CMU’s lone champion.

As a team, the Chippewas finished 8-6 overall, fin-

ishing 5-2 in conference play. The Chippewas finished second in the 2018 MAC Tournament for the second time in three seasons.

CMU compiled a 1-4 record against other Top 25 teams. The only Top 25 team CMU beat was Purdue.

The Chippewas lost to Virginia Tech, South Dakota State, Missouri and Michigan.

“Our season overall was pretty successful, finishing runner-up in the conference, qualifying seven guys to nationals” Borrelli said. “We went through a lot of injuries, some adversity, but those things are all positives. If he hadn’t had some of those injuries I feel like we would’ve had a better season.”

Two of the Top 25 losses came without senior

157-pound wrestler Colin Heffernan. The Cleveland native sustained a shoulder injury during the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational, which sidelined him for six weeks.

Heffernan was ranked in the Top 15 of 157-pound wrestlers before the injury. After letting his shoulder heal, he finished third in the MAC Tournament in McGuirk Arena.

Junior Justin Oliver won the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational in the 149-pound weight class. Oliver suffered an injury to his right knee during the 3-1 loss to No. 11 Grant Leeth of Missouri — placing him on the sideline for three weeks.

Oliver finished with a 25-5 record, placing fourth in the 2018 MAC Championships and one win away from earning All-American honors for the second time in three seasons.

Sophomore Mason Smith, someone who Borrelli praised during the season, finished with a team-best 31-5 record.

The Chippewas return seven wrestlers for the 201819 season, including Oliver, Smith, Stencel, junior Jordan Atienza, sophomore Logan Parks, and redshirt freshman Drew Hildebrandt and Dresden Simon.
