Sophomore Colin Heffernan scores a two point reversal at the edge of the mat, Sunday, Jan. 25, 2015 at McGuirk Arena.

The undefeated Central Michigan wrestling squad traveled approximately 2,000 miles southwest to Reno, Nevada for the 2015 Reno Tournament of Champions.

The 17th ranked Chippewas took second place in the 24-team tournament, finishing with 119 points, one spot behind No. 11 Illinois.

Six Chippewas finished within the top three of their respective weight classes.

Senior Zach Horan (141), redshirt sophomore Colin Heffernan (149) and junior Corey Keener (133) all advanced to championship matches in their respective weight classes, but each fell just short of claiming first place honors.
