The 2017 NCAA Wrestling Championships will feature nine Central Michigan wrestlers this weekend — the second most in school history.

For head coach Tom Borelli, it’s a step in the right direction for the program.

“We’re getting the right kids in here that want to do well in the national tournament,” Borelli said. “They want to represent the school the right way.”

After coming off a 9-3 regular season and a third-place finish in the MAC, Borrelli is happy with how the season has unfolded so far.
