University investigates Reighard for athlete misconduct

By Evan Petzold Assistant Sports Editor sports@cm-life.com

Jerry Reighard, the gymnastics coach at Central Michigan University for 35 years, was abruptly placed on paid administrative leave Feb. 20, pending an internal investigation.

Athletic Director Michael Alford wrote in a letter to Reighard that he had been accused of engaging in misconduct with a student-athlete on the gymnastics team. Central Michigan Life received a copy of that letter, and the rest of Reighard’s personnel file, through a Freedom of Information Act request. The university charged the newspaper $404 to provide the requested documents.

A gymnast reported to the athletic department that Reighard directed her to provide false information to medical staff related to her fitness to compete. Alford then suspended the longtime gymnastics coach. His wife, Nancy, was also suspended from any team activities.

She served as a volunteer assistant for 17 years.

If the student’s complaint is found to have merit, Reighard will have broken CMU protocols, Mid-American Conference standards for behavior and NCAA regulations for violation of ethical conduct and the protection of studentathletes.

This is not the first time Reighard has been

questioned about his ethical conduct and the protection of the student-athletes in his care.

On June 6, 2017, the Office of Civil Rights and Institutional Equity (OCRIE) opened an investigation of Reighard after it received allegations that he violated the university’s sexual misconduct policy. What isn’t explained in the documents received by CM Life is what he was

Reighard, Alford instructed him to cease all contact with current or former student-athletes, staff, volunteers, students and faculty. The only way Reighard has been allowed to speak to the athletic department is through Angie Moss, the assistant director of internal operations.

Reighard was also told to have no contact with current or potential recruits. He was also instructed to have no contact with the media as a university representative.

Reighard, since the start of the investigation, was told he could no longer perform any functions involving that of a coach for the gymnastics program.

In his place until the investigation concludes is Christine MacDonald, a 23-year member of Reighard’s staff. She was promoted as associate head coach in 2006 and is currently preparing the Chippewas to compete in the NCAA Championships in the first round against Illinois on April 4 in Ann Arbor.

Since taking over in the 1984-85 season, Reighard delivered eight MAC regular season titles and 16 victories in the MAC Championships. The Chippewas picked up their ninth MAC regular season championship in the 201819 season, but it was capped off by MacDonald — not Reighard.

In this year’s MAC Championships, CMU finished second to Northern Illinois, 195.975195.575.

accused of doing. However, 50 days later, on July 26, OCRIE issued a ruling that Reighard did not violate the policy.

“I must impress upon you the seriousness of the incident by highlighting the fact that future instances of this nature will be addressed in a more formal and serious matter,” Alford wrote to Reighard in an August 2017 email following OCRIE’s decision.

Reighard was also questioned for exceeding his allotted team practice times. NCAA limits practice hours in order to protect athletes’ health and safety. In the offseason after the 1998-99 campaign, Reighard was given a warning by former Compliance Coordinator Derek van der Merwe for requiring student-athletes to practice longer than the NCAA rule of 20 hours per week.

On Feb. 17, 2000, van der Merwe reached out to the gymnastics coach again because “numerous” student-athletes reported to the compliance office that Reighard exceeded the four hours per day, 20 hours per week limit.

In order to try to help correct his behavior, the compliance office required each of Reighard’s team members to keep a playing and practice log for the following few weeks.

“The health and safety of your studentathletes should never be in jeopardy,” van der Merwe wrote in an email to Reighard.

CMUPD calls for ‘open communication’ with students

By Teresa Homsi Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Central Michigan University Police Department Lt. Cameron Wassman spoke at the March 25 Student Government Association meeting in hopes of creating an “open communication” between the police department and the student body.

He started his presentation by addressing that the CMUPD is “more than safety” and works closely with the university.

“A lot of times people don’t understand what we as the police do,” Wassman said.

“They see the arrests, they see the enforcement, they see the tickets, but they may not understand all the things we do or why we do what we do.”

He updated SGA members on the CMU Police Oversight Committee and the Mount Pleasant City Police Department complaint filing process, which will involve the distribution of flyers with information on the Isabella County Human Rights Committee and the Mount Pleasant Diversity Group, among other resources.

“We want to make sure you have the ability to get answers to questions, so by all means, whether it’s the city police or the CMU police, call us,” he said.

Wassman also discussed changes currently happening in the department, including personnel changes, continuing the “Food for Fines” program, recruiting three new police officers, improving parking and upgrading the radio and 911 system to better respond to emergencies.

He concluded his presentation by stressing the importance of contacting the police in the event of suspicious activity or a crime.

“We would much rather have something be reported to us, investigated and have it turn out to be something pretty small than to not find out about it and have it spiral out of control into something more serious,” Wassman said. “So call us, don’t feel silly, don’t feel ashamed. Call us, only then can we help make everyone feel safe.”

CAMPUS CLIMATE SURVEY SGA Vice President Lyndi Rose also briefly spoke on a campus climate survey that will soon be released.

The survey was made by the Title IX committee and focuses on the sexual assault climate on campus. The survey will ask students about their knowledge of available resources and personal experiences. “(This survey) is very important because all of this raw data has never been calculated before and there’s a lot of things we don’t know if we need or not, such as a gender-sexuality

center,” Rose said. “So please take this survey and spread it out to your friends.”

The release date of the survey is still in the works, but it is tentatively planned to be released to all students on April 9.

PASSING OF LEGISLATION During the meeting, three separate pieces of legislation were discussed.

The first focused on an extension of Thanksgiving recess, which “does not properly accommodate student’s transportation needs.”

The resolution calls for the university to close for the entirety of Wednesday on Thanksgiving week instead of at 5 p.m. on Wednesday. This would align with the charter bus departure times, which range from 1:00-1:30 p.m., and allow students to conveniently travel home.

The second piece of legislation supported the purchase of uniform tables, stating the single student desks in numerous academic buildings are outdated and uncomfortable to sit in for extended periods of time.

The third was a resolution in support of the “Take Back the Tap” initiative, which has worked toward ending the sales of bottled water on campus. This legislation called for SGA’s support and collaboration with the Take Back the Tap movement. All three resolutions passed in the House and Senate.

EDITORIAL

TO THE FUTURE SGA ADMINISTRATION: The student body is deciding who will serve as the next president and vice president of the Central Michigan University Student Government Association.

As an organization, it’s important that SGA is in touch with students’ concerns and needs.

This year, SGA created initiatives that help students. Projects such as a tampon initiative, which provided free tampons to four on-campus bathrooms, helped women on campus so they didn’t ever have to ask someone for a feminine product, or pay for one in the bathrooms. The creation of a food pantry on campus made progress toward tackling food insecurity that college students face.

These initiatives have made a difference and we are thankful for them. But as the results come in for who will serve as the next administration of SGA, we have some ideas for what we would like to see accomplished and focused on in the next academic year.

We want to see more legislation that directly applies to students. For example, the recent “A Resolution in Support of the Revision of Commencement Ceremony Ticket Redistribution” was introduced is proposing a regulated ticket pool system for commencement tickets. This is looking at a looming problem that all students face every year, and providing a probable solution for it. We need more initiatives like this. More tangible, relevant legislation is important.

We want to see the administration represent the student body first. We, as students, must be the priority. Don’t let CMU’s administration sway proposals and opinions. We want to see SGA reach out to students more to get their opinions and perspectives on issues happening on campus. Branch out farther than just the senators and representatives who choose to participate in SGA. There are many students who care about the culture of this campus, even if they aren’t involved in SGA. Find a way to get to those people and have their voice heard.

Hold our administrators at CMU accountable. We want to see the SGA push the university administration to be transparent about the recent imposed

$225 Student Service Fee and explain to students what that money exactly goes toward. The president and vice president of SGA have the power to make a statement urging administrators to be open about that fee, and should utilize that opportunity to be the student voice.

We also want the SGA administration to do something more to raise awareness preventing sexual assault on campus. Something more than the “Stamp Out Aggression” campaign. Rather than gathering signatures condemning sexual assault, we would like to see more outreach to students about resources on campus and informing them what to do if ever in that situation.

SGA hosted a bystander event in January, and the only people who showed up were people in SGA and Sexual Aggression Peer Advocates (SAPA). Reach out to more people outside the inner SGA circle.

We are excited to see who will lead the next SGA administration.

We hope they take these ideas into consideration.

We want to see a student government that always strives to make campus a better place for students.

Quitting nicotine is difficult and I only want to do it once I woke up hungover with a stamp on my hand. It was a Saturday morning about a month ago. For whatever reason that morning I decided I was quitting nicotine, and I meant forever.

It may have had something to do with my bank account’s low status and lack of juice at the time, but that is neither here nor there.

The point is I was quitting. And I was quitting cold turkey.

That first day was the second most difficult of my adult life. It was second only to day two.

Those first 48 hours were excruciating.

Quitting nicotine is one of the most miserable experiences I have ever been through. I didn’t expect physical pain, but quitting nicotine actually hurts. The headache from nicotine withdrawal is something I would wish on only a handful of people. I’m glad it was that painful though. If it had not have been I may have fallen off the wagon sometime in the last month.

I grew up in a household with tobacco. My dad always told me how horrible nicotine addiction is.

How did I get so addicted? Until 30 some days ago, I had been addicted to nicotine since I was 16.

That’s four years of being admittedly dependent on a substance. First chewing tobacco, then vaping. I got

Kristofer Roche Staff Reporter

hooked from the jump my junior year, but my first semester of college when I was playing a sport, we had 7 a.m. meetings and everybody fought to stay awake during camp.

Those are fond memories of mine and I have nothing but good things to say about my former school.

However, it did push my addiction to a place I never thought it would get to and I decided when I quit football that semester, I had time to quit chewing too.

Problem was, I made it 48 hours and broke like a twig.

I had no idea how deep I was into the nicotine game. I said I would quit over Christmas break that year and I didn’t get around to it until a few weeks ago. Whoops.

So, there I was at the 48-hour mark like last time. Then, an amazing thing happened. I woke up on day three and was a little bit better than the day before. From there I decided there was no way I could get

through the first two days a second time.

I thought I was over the hill and it was going to be a matter of days

before I forgot what a nicotine buzz even felt like. I was wrong, but I stuck to it.

Truth is, everyday since then has been a little better than the last, but its still a constant struggle. It doesn’t help that everyone and their brother vapes now. It’s constantly around and constantly being offered.

It seems like when I tell people I quit, they want me to suck down all their juice. What is it about me quitting that makes you want to buy me nicotine so bad, friend?

All in all, quitting cold turkey is one of the hardest things I have ever had to do, but that has made it awfully rewarding. It’s also made it easy to stay the course. I could never go through the hardest part again because I’m not sure how I did it the first time.

If people want to use nicotine, more power to them. I’m not here to judge anyone else’s choices, mostly because I don’t want anyone judging mine.

However, if there are people out there who do want to quit, it can be done.

Take it from someone who thought they would be spending 20 bucks a week for the rest of their life-- grass is way greener on the other side, my friends.

We need to be talking about homelessness and poverty more While it’s understandable that time and money is something many college students can’t give, a conversation is free.

The homeless population is large in Isabella County. With 510 homeless people in Isabella County during 2017, there seems to be many people lost with their lives, not sure where they’re going next.

Yet, there seems to be a lack of conversation about the issue.

Many students here at Central Michigan University don’t leave the campus very often, and if they do, they usually stay on Mission Street and in the downtown area. Homelessness is not something they see. If the topic is brought up, some people might say, “What can I do about it?

I have barely enough money and time to make it through college. I don’t have room in my life to donate money or volunteer somewhere I could help.”

Here’s the thing: those are very legitimate points. I completely understand that even though college students are better off than those who don’t have a home, students

Andrew Mullin Staff Reporter

have limitations on what they can do to help. If I were to judge people for thinking this way, I would be a hypocrite. I’ve thought this many times driving past a man on the side of the road with a sign asking for help.

There are smaller actions you can take that may create a large impact.

And it all revolves around one thing: talking.

Sometimes creating a dialogue can help spread the word about an issue. I was surprised to learn when I began working on my article about homelessness and poverty about how bad these problems are in this county. According to a United Way study called “Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed,” or ALICE, 50 percent of people in Isabella

County are in some form of poverty.

I had never heard anyone talk about this before I started reporting on it. It baffles me that no one would talk about living in a county with one of the highest poverty levels in the state. Yet, in a weird way it makes sense.

Ryan Griffus, the executive director at the Isabella County Restoration House, said poverty and homelessness in a rural place like Isabella County tends to be more hidden as opposed to in a larger city. He said homeless people in rural areas tend to stay in places like the woods, in cars and barns. Because of this, other residents don’t see them, thus no one talks about it.

That’s precisely why these important issues should be discussed.

How can things get better if no one is talking about homelessness and poverty?

Some people may be thinking, “How can I help someone who is homeless directly?” Here’s where talking comes into play again.

While it might seem like people who are homeless are inapproach-

able, they are people just like you and me. They have favorite bands, movies, video games, dreams and aspirations. This becomes abundantly clear when you talk to them.

I spoke with a family of six during their first night with the shelter and the dad had a lot to say about their experience, and it taught me a lot about the toll homelessness takes on families.

Just talking to people in these situations is a simple way of making them feel better and many times, they will be perfectly open to share their stories. When I went to an overnight homeless shelter, I was surprised to hear how open these people were with sharing their stories. While it’s not always advised to talk about their stories since they could be quite traumatic, even just talking about interests will give them something bright in a dark situation.

Everyone I spoke to at the shelter expressed gratitude that I talked to them. So my suggestion is the next time you see a homeless person on the streets or in a shelter, perhaps drop in for a conversation. It will make all the difference.

Academic Senate discusses BAA degree, approves curricular changes

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

Central Michigan University Academic Senate passed eight curricular items at its March 26 meeting and pondered the question: What is a Bachelor of Applied Arts degree, and which majors fit it best?

During the Senate executive board meeting March 21, the e-board thought it was odd that six majors requested to be added to the Bachelor of Applied Arts degree, especially since there were no majors added to the degree program from 2012-18. This sparked a debate about what role the BAA holds at CMU and which majors fit best in the degree program.

E-board chose to hold off on adding any programs to the BAA until it could examine the BAA and figure out how it compares to the other degree options at CMU. After an hour-long discussion about eboard’s decision, Senate voted to set aside one hour at the next meeting to discuss CMU’s Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Applied Arts and Bachelor of Fine Arts degrees, the description of each one and which majors fit them. Senate will continue to delay adding majors to the BAA until the discussion takes place.

The major questions asked in the discussion were about what the BAA is and why students

choose it over a BA or BS degree.

Senator Michael Mamp, human environmental studies faculty, said the foreign language requirement in the BA and math/statistics requirement in the BS were seen as roadblocks by students, and the BAA offers them a more flexible option that didn’t have those perceived roadblocks.

“It’s no surprise to me that we will now see additional programs that are now requesting to be moved to the BAA because they are in touch and understand their students’ interests and capabilities and what their students are willing to spend their time and money on,” Mamp said.

Cathy Hicks Kennard, English language and literature faculty, disagreed. She said instead of seeing those requirements as “roadblocks,” they should be seen as educational experiences and marketable skills that students can benefit from.

Refer to CM Life on April 9 to learn the outcome of the discussion.

The consensus at the end of the discussion was that there isn’t a good definition of the BAA or a clear reason why it is preferable for some majors more than others. Until Senate has a clear definition, it doesn’t feel like it can add any more majors to the degree program.

During the Provost’s report, Michael Gealt updated the Senate on current personnel searches. He said there will be Skype interviews next week for the ongoing Provost search.

Rosie Bauman | Staff Photographer Provost​Michael Gealt​​gives a report during Academic Senate in the Education and Human Services Building’s French Auditorium March 26.

Candidates for the College of Business Administration dean will be visiting campus soon, Gealt announced.

The eight curricular items the Senate passed include: • Adding “Math 217: Business Calculus” to the list of courses that satisfy the statistics/calculus requirement in the BS degree.

• Deletion of two concentrations in the administration major, service sector and building code administration. Both concentrations have been on hiatus for three years due to low enrollment.

• A change to the BAA from a limit of eight elective credits from the student’s major to nine. The change was made to reflect the fact that most classes at CMU are three credits.

• Changing the wording for the foreign language requirement in the BA degree. The change eliminates a loophole that would allow students to take two 101-level language courses to satisfy the University Program IV-B requirement.

• Changing the graduation requirement for the BS in engineering technology from 124 credits to 120.

• The addition of a Master of Business Administration concentration in finance.

• Allowing departments to create their own continuous registration policy for graduate students. The current policy requires graduate students to be enrolled every semester up until graduation. This would give departments the ability to decide whether a graduate student should enroll in a continuous registration credit, which would eliminate fees for students who choose to take a semester or two off before finishing their degree.

• Changing the language in the MBA program. Most of the changes were grammatical or stylistic.

HOW MEN’S AND WOMEN’S BASKETBALL LEADERS MADE THE RECORD BOOKS IN DIFFERENT WAYS, WHAT’S NEXT FOR CHIPPEWA BASKETBALL When it comes to breaking down the Central Michigan men’s and women’s basketball team, one thing is for certain — Sue Guevara and Keno Davis have noticeably different coaching styles.

However, when you take a look back at what pumped the gas pedal to make the both Chippewa squads go into the 2018-19 season, it was very similar.

A dynamic duo.

On the men’s side, it was a guard set of Larry Austin Jr. and Shawn Roundtree Jr., a pair of players who were overlooked for most of their careers and transferred in with something to prove.

On the other side in women’s hoops, it was a guard and forward tandem who raised havoc for their opponents in the Mid-American Conference and beyond since they were freshman. Their names: Presley Hudson and Reyna Frost.

Both of these pairs guided their teams to 20-plus win seasons and a postseason berth.

The stories of how they got here, however, are very different. And the result was four players who left marks in the program record books.

A FINAL STOP All Shawn Roundtree wanted to do was play Division I basketball.

After graduating from Edwardsville High School in Illinois, Missouri State gave him that chance.

As a freshman with the Bears, Roundtree felt he was only getting better as a player.

The six-foot,

SHAWN ROUNDTREE

185-pound guard played in 30 games while adding a couple starts in his first year. However, due to an injury, the sophomore season he felt he would earn more starts in involved him only watching from the sideline.

This pushed back the progress Roundtree felt he had made. After never seeing another live contest with the Bears, he ended up transferring to Mineral Area College, a JUCO school in Missouri. More problems occurred. Roundtree felt stuck in a place where there was only 5,000 students compared to 20,000 at Missouri State.

He battled depression being away from his family and uncertainty rattled through his brain waves on if he wanted to play basketball anymore.

“There were some very dark days, I was having a hard time staying strong-minded,” Roundtree said. “I knew what level I wanted to reach, but needed the motivation to get there.”

After struggling in his first couple of games, and thanks to guidance from his father and mother, Roundtree put together a campaign of averaging 10.9 points, 3.1 assists and two rebounds per game. He found a way out of his ‘darker days’ and transferred to CMU prior to the 2017-18 season.

It didn’t take long for Davis to realize he had his next point guard.

Roundtree led the Chippewas with 151 assists and was No. 6 in the MAC with 14.8 points per game. Early in the season, he made a game-winning shot to give CMU a championship in the Great Alaskan Shootout. From there, he would be looked to as a player who would have the ball in his hands to decide close games.

However, the results weren’t flashy. His team finished with a 21-15 overall record and CMU was just 8-11 in MAC play. While Roundtree was scoring the ball at a high rate, it seemed like there was something missing in the back court.

His name was Larry Austin Jr. Another player who had been recycled through the college basketball transfer portal multiple times, Austin was highly touted coming out of Lanphier High School in Springfield, Illinois. He was rated No. 7 overall by the 247Sports Composite in Illinois with offers from Providence, Tennessee, Bradley, DePaul and Xavier.

Austin wanted to go to Tennessee and committed there, but opted out because the head coach Cuonzo Martin at the time left for California. Being rushed to make a decision before the signing period ended later in the same month of April he decommitted, Austin chose Xavier.

It wasn’t the right fit. So after spending 2014-16 with the Musketeers, Austin transferred to Vanderbilt. He never averaged more than 11 minutes per outing at the two schools. He viewed his transfer options once again following the 2016-17 season and ended up coming to CMU. Davis envisioned having a two-guard set again with Austin and Roundtree once again. Needless to say it worked like in past years for Davis, but this time it had a different way of being effective.

Austin was built as a slasher. Roundtree was a facilitator and a 3-point shooter. In past seasons with combinations like Marcus Keene and Braylon Rayson or Rayshawn Simmons and Chris Fowler, 3-point shooting was the main source for points. The 201819 guard set was much different.

Roundtree and Austin didn’t just lead with their skills, they did so with emotion. Whenever things got out of hand, Roundtree would gather his group and get them calm. And whenever the team needed a spark, Austin would use his high-energy antics of pumping his fist or voicing his emotion with a yell that will echo through McGuirk Arena for a long time as it did when fans would rise to their feet.

E.COM y MAR. 28, 2019 “I use my emotions to show I’m confident to get those stops by being vocal toward my opponents,” Austin said. “I want to let them know I’m here.”

Roundtree became the 34th Chippewa to score more than 1,000 points in his career, doing so in just over two seasons. Austin set the single-season record for steals (78) and assists (209). Both Austin (fifth, 17.5 points per game) and Roundtree (eighth, 16.6) finished in the top-10 of scoring in the league for 2018-19. Austin made the conferences All-MAC Second Team and Defensive Team.

Roundtree made the All-MAC Third Team.

CMU finished with a 23-12 overall record, two more wins than a season ago, and finished fifth in the MAC after being projected to finish last place in the MAC preseason rankings. CMU also made the semifinal round of the MAC Tournament with a berth in the College Basketball Invitational.

While they didn’t win a banner, the duo led CMU to prove doubters wrong.

“We found a couple of guys that were hungry to win in Larry and Shawn,” Davis said. “They were determined, they put in the work and were great people. That’s what Mount Pleasant is about, it doesn’t work if you don’t bring in the right character. This group had it.”

At the end of it all, Roundtree looked back and said he was truly grateful for the chance to play with the program.

“You gotta understand I was a guy who was told I was one of the worst guys on the roster,” Roundtree said. “To be able to find a home at Central Michigan for these last two years have been incredible, and the bonds I formed with this team, man, I’ll cherish them for life.”

A STAPLE OF WOMEN’S BASKETBALL HISTORY As roommates, teammates and friends, it’s no secret that Frost and Hudson helped flip the page on this record-breaking chapter of CMU women’s hoops.

However, many people don’t know how their relationship began.

The two first met on the Michigan Sting Elite AAU team in Summer 2014. They were first-year teammates before beginning their final season of high school basketball.

Hudson, a Wayland native with a basketball-filled family, was already committed to CMU in the before the summer of 2014. Frost on the other hand, was still weighing her options on where she would play college hoops, which included rival Western Michigan and Bucknell.

August of that summer, Frost became a Chippewa. Hudson couldn’t wait to play with her old AAU teammate once again.

“I loved playing with her in AAU so when coach G(uevara) told me Reyna was coming to CMU, I was really excited for the next four years,” Hudson said.

From there the bond only blossomed between the two.

And the benefits on the court followed.

Both Frost and Hudson wasted no time making their names known in the MAC. Hudson was named the MAC Freshman of the Year and to the All-MAC Second Team. She averaged 13.9 points per game which led the Chippewas and was the only freshman to do so.

While Frost battled for playing time with former CMU forward Jewel Cotton through the first eight games, she eventually replaced Cotton in the starting lineup. With it came 308 rebounds, a selection to the All-MAC Freshman Team and was runner-up for MAC Freshman of the Year to only her teammate Hudson. The Reese native averaged a balanced 8.4 points and 9.3 boards per game in her first season of NCAA basketball.

As sophomores the numbers kept improving, and so did the wins. Frost averaged nearly a double-double with 9.4 points and 11.3 rebounds per game. Hudson bumped her points per game up nearly three tallies to 16.8 points per contest while her assists per game improved by 1.4 to 4.9. They helped guide CMU to a MAC West Division title but were bounced by Western Michigan in the first round of the MAC Tournament.

Following a trip to the WNIT, Frost and Hudson felt it was only the beginning with what they could accomplish as Chippewas.

“We knew with Twin starting to play and Cassie (Breen) and Tinara (Moore), we knew that we all played well together,” Frost said. “We started having open gyms that were clicking really well, we knew it could be a special year.”

Hudson agreed.

“I knew if everyone put in the work they wanted to, we could do

what we wanted which was win a MAC Championship,” she said.

Right they were.

With a starting lineup including Micaela Kelly, Cassie Breen and Tinara Moore plus Hudson and Frost, CMU had built arguably its best team in program history. All five players averaged double figures in scoring per outing. Hudson was up to 18.3 points per game breached the double-double average, with 13.7 points and 11.9 caroms per game.

The result? Another MAC regular season title, a MAC Tournament title and the first-ever NCAA Tournament win over No. 6 LSU, 78-69, in the first round.

But it didn’t stop there.

CMU went to Columbus, Ohio and blew out No. 3 Ohio State 9578 on its home floor, advancing to the Sweet 16 where it fell to No. 2 Oregon 83-69. The team finished the season 30-5 overall.

As seniors, the two were looked at as the anchors of the Chippewas starting lineup and team. Once again, they produced but at even newer heights.

For the first time in her four years, Frost led CMU in scoring at 22.2 points per game while the rebounding numbers improved to 13.3 per game. She set the program record for career boards with 1,526, a goal she set before coming to CMU. Frost made the AllMAC First Team and was named the MAC Player of the Year. She broke her own single-season rebounding record with 439.

“I want people to know that nothing came easy for us,” Frost said. “We were hard workers and had to do so to hit goals that we set. I want underclassmen to remember that when we are gone.

They need to work hard now to get to the goals they set and I hope they can look at us and what we did and do that.”

Hudson followed suit. She broke the program’s career points record with 2,309 tallies. She also broke the record for career 3-pointers made with 407 netted. Hudson was named to the All-MAC First Team, averaging 20.4 points and 5.7 assists per game, both stats went up in production each season she wore the “Flying C”.

“I would say exactly what Reyna said, honestly,” Hudson said of how Frost wants to be remembered. “We both wanted to leave the same paths to follow.”

CMU made the NCAA Tournament once again and won a third consecutive MAC regular season title. CMU was BASKETBALL | 13

BASKETBALL | CONTINUED FROM 11 once again and won a third consecutive MAC regular season title. CMU was given its highest-seed ever at No. 8, but was bounced 88-87 by No. 9 Michigan State in the first round.

With everything coming to an end, Hudson and Frost know they will be friends for life. The two set records that will more than likely last for a long time in the CMU women’s archives.

But if they are ever broken, you can be sure both future CMU hall of famers will be following along.

“I think coach G was able to kind of build that culture within us,” Hudson said. “She’s going to continue to do that with the players that she has and will develop them to continue to beat good teams and make postseason runs.”

WHO’S NEXT? Guevara and Davis have now both been given a challenge of replacing these two stars that left marks on the programs.

On the women’s side of things, there are clear replacements for Frost and Hudson in line.

When talking about the core of her squad, Guevara would always allude to “the big three” in her starting lineup. Obviously two of those players were the seniors, but Kelly was the third.

The sophomore still has two seasons remaining of eligibility at CMU and appears to be next in line for taking a leadership role in the back court with Hudson departing.

“Every year, each year I want to get it done,” Kelly said following the NCAA Tournament loss to MSU. “It’s the mentality I have. Winning is fun, losing hurts. As I grow, I want to continue to be coachable. It’s a process.”

The 5-foot-6 Detroit native averaged 14.6 points and 4.3 rebounds in her second season of college basketball.

She also totaled 127 assists which was second on the team behind Hudson (188).

In the post to replace Frost, it would appear sophomore Kyra Bussell and freshman Jahari Smith will take over the load. Smith started all 33 games for the Chippewas this season, but Bussell averaged 20.2 minutes per game off the bench, while Smith averaged 19.4. Essentially, the players split the No. 5 spot in the starting rotation.

Bussell, a 6-foot-1 forward, averaged 7.8 points and 4.4 boards per outing while Smith, a 6-foot center, scored 6.1 points and added 4.4 caroms per game.

On the men’s side of things, it is a little more tricky.

Needing to replace more than a third of its offensive production between Roundtree and Austin who averaged 34.1 points per game (CMU as a team at 82.7), Davis will more than likely turn to his sixth man this season.

Junior guard Dallas Morgan was a spark plug off the bench, scoring 8.1 points per contest in 35 games while shooting 36.8 percent (64-of-174) from beyond the arc. “(Morgan) is someone who creates instant offense and is becoming a really good defender,” Davis said. “He gives us a lift off the bench and we want him to keep growing into a complete player by the time he leaves here.”

Like Austin and Roundtree, Morgan was a transfer to CMU from a junior college. The only other guard listed for the Chippewas to return is freshman P.J. Mitchell who was redshirted in 2018-19. It leaves question to whether Davis will rely on recruits, Mitchell or go and find another transfer guard to help the Chippewas back court.

The Central Michigan softball team played the first month of the season on the road, traveling all over the southern part of the country.

The Chippewas (11-16) had their home opener spoiled by No. 25 Michigan (20-10) 8-0 in five innings.

CMU could only manage three hits off of Michigan starter Alex Storako. She struck out five Chippewas and only issued one walk in her five innings of work, earning the victory.

“I’m just disappointed we didn’t do a better job performing,” said head coach Margo Jonker. “We didn’t make the adjustments we needed to at the plate.”

The Wolverines scored their first run in the first inning. Designated player Mackenzie Nemitz plated centerfielder Natalie Peters on a

groundout to third base.

Michigan would expand its lead on a two-run home run from third baseman Madison Uden that was driven hard to right field and carried over the fence for the round-tripper.

The Wolverines began to pile on the runs in the top of the fourth inning. After a two-run double from Peters, leftfielder Lexie Blair reached on an infield single. First baseman Alex Sobczak then reached on a fielder’s choice.

Nemitz took the game over with one swing.

She lifted a 2-2 pitch high and deep to right-center field that capped a five-run inning that chased sophomores starting pitcher Samantha Howell and reliever Cloe Mallory.

Howell allowed six hits, four runs and three walks in her 3.1 innings of work. Mallory would allow four runs on four hits in her one-third inning of work. “(Michigan) was doing a good

job of hitting our mispatch,” Jonker said. “We were not hitting our spots and therefore, they were doing a good job of having discipline to swing at the pitches in the zone.”

The Chippewas would have a scoring threat of their own in the bottom of the fourth inning. Senior centerfielder Sara Hansen reached on an infield single. Freshman designated player Shannon Stein drew a walk then reached on an infield single of her own to load the bases.

Freshman outfielder Tala Dean would then ground out to the shortstop to end the threat.

Both teams would then fall in order in the fifth inning, and the run rule would end the game, giving Michigan the victory.

CMU will hit the road again to take on Buffalo in a two-day, threegame series March 29 and 30. The Chippewas return home April 2 for a double header against Western Michigan.

Mayor wants more diverse representation on city commission

By Evan Petzold Assistant Sports Editor news@cm-life.com

Mount Pleasant City Commission is comprised of three men and four women. William Joseph is 29 years old, making him the youngest ever to serve as the city’s mayor.

The diverse representation on commission lacks racial diversity on its staff, and there is a direct relation to the 2010 United States Census numbers.

Of the 26,016 residents in 2010, just 3.9 percent were black or African American alone in Mount Pleasant. When reviewing the City Commission staff, one thing becomes clear – everyone is white.

Joseph wants to see a change in the near future.

“A lot of community events I go to, people have a lot of diversity,” Joseph said. “People would be really receptive to that element being represented. It brings perspective.”

Joseph said there isn’t any racial diversity on the commission. If everyone took a survey, Joseph claimed each member would most likely fill in the Caucasian bubble

on the sheet.

“I don’t think there’s a lot of racial tensions in Mount Pleasant. Part of that is we are majority Caucasian town,” Joseph said. “I don’t see a lot of racial negativity in Mount Pleasant. Not to say there aren’t, I’m sure there are feelings on both sides from people, but Mount Pleasant is an accepting place.”

At Central Michigan University on Nov. 7, Sweeney Hall resident Yasmeen Duncan found a racist message on the whiteboard on her door. Just 13 days later, on Nov. 20, another form of discrimination occurred on a dorm room whiteboard in Robinson Residence Hall.

NEWS AND NOTES FROM AROUND CAMPUS

ELLIOTT’S TRIAL SET TO BEGIN ON JULY 8 AT ISABELLA COUNTY TRIAL COURT Former Student Government Association President Ian Elliott’s trial is set to start on July 8, according to the Isabella County Trial Court.

Elliott, 24, is charged with two counts of third degree criminal sexual conduct and one count of assault with intent to commit sexual penetration. The case was bound over to Isabella County Circuit Court by Trial Court Judge Eric Janes in early February.

Trial Court Judge Paul H. Chamberlain is listed on the Isabella County Court Calendar, but the trial judge could change, according to a court administrator.

Elliott was accused of sexually assaulting Central Michigan University graduate student Rachel Wilson after meeting her at The Cabin.

In an interview with Central Michigan Life, Wilson described feeling disoriented after meeting up with Elliott, even though she had only consumed 1 1/2 beers. Later, Elliott took her to his

apartment where she vomited and passed out. She told police he sexually assaulted her after she regained consciousness.

The case was set to go to trial on May 7, 2018, but was dismissed IAN ELLIOTT by the acting Isabella County Prosecuting Attorney Robert Holmes on April 6, 2018.

Elliott is currently facing charges in a second sexual assault case, which has yet to have a trial date scheduled. Elliott is charged with one count of criminal sexual conduct of the third degree (oral penetration) in that case.

or getting an education,” Joseph said. “There’s that element to being groundbreaking.”

While racial diversity is something Joseph and city commission hopes to tackle, age is one of the diversity aspects in which the group excels. One year ago, city commission was mostly women and a majority were under 40 years old. The average age is no longer under 40.

“One of the reasons I got on commission was to represent that younger background. For me, it’s important to have the voice and ear of the student age and mid-20 to 30s,” Joseph said. “I try to go to CMU and attend events as much as possible. Those ideas and interests are at the top of my head.”

Joseph’s message to minority races is to take a chance on running for city commission.

“Being elected to anything is a scary process, even if you look like everybody else in the election,” Joseph said. “My impression from talking to voters in town is your sex, gender, race and religion will be less important than your ideas moving forward.”

SEC. DEVOS DEFENDS $17.6 MILLION PROPOSED CUT TO SPECIAL OLYMPICS Education Secretary Betsy DeVos defended a proposed $17.6 million cut to Special Olympics funding Tuesday after preparing the Department of Education’s budget proposal for the next fiscal year.

“We are not doing our children any favors when we borrow from their future in order to invest in systems and policies that are not yielding better results,” DeVos told a Democratic-led House subcommittee.

DeVos said Special Olympics should be supported by philanthropy and defended her “difficult decision.” A cut of this size eliminates Special Olympics from the Department of Education’s spending completely.

During the questioning, Rep. Mark Pocan asked DeVos if she knew how many kids were going to be affected. DeVos again cited “difficult decisions” and didn’t answer the question. Pocan said more than 270,000 children are going to be affected by these cuts.

Special Olympics USA is an organization that helps people with disabilities participate and play sports. The most recent Special Olympics USA Games were held in 2018 with more than 4,000 athletes and coaches.

Special Olympics Michigan is based on Central Michigan University’s campus.

At SOMI’s last State Summer Games competition, held on campus each summer, 2,900 athletes competed in 10 different competitions. Central Michigan Life has reached out to SOMI for comment.

Special Olympics USA Chairman Timothy Shriver appeared on MSNBC Wednesday to condemn the proposed cuts.

“While the philanthropic traditions we have of volunteerism and private support are important, we’re now in a new ballgame of trying to educate young people about the importance of an inclusive mindset to the future of the country,” Shriver said.

“Give these young people the chance to shine, to tell their stories, as you’ve heard. The country is starving for this.”

This was the first time DeVos, a Michigan native, has been called forward to defend the Department of Education’s budget proposals.

Her proposed cuts and comments before the subcommittee have drawn national criticism.
