Senior Austin Severn wrestles Old Dominion’s Kevin Beazley in the Chippewas match against Old Dominion on Jan. 27 in McGuirk Arena.
Austin Severn’s journey to his senior year has been anything but easy.
After compiling a 28-26 record his first two seasons, Severn was focused on leaving a legacy at Central Michigan. During his junior year, he split time at 184 pounds with then-sophomore Jordan Ellingwood.
“We went at it a lot in the wrestling room,” Ellingwood said. “It was a really tough battle between the two of us.”
Severn would go on to win the 2015 Michigan State Open at 184 pounds, going undefeated in the tournament.
