An historic accomplishment for Matt Stencel (Clay), three individual champions, and a team runner-up finish for the Central Michigan wrestling team.
Yes, it could have been better – it can almost always be better – but all in all, a good showing once again by the Chippewas at the Mid-American Conference Championships.
Stencel, a CMU senior, became the ninth wrestler in Mid-American Conference history to win four individual league titles when he defeated Rider s Ethan Laird, 7-2, in the final at 285 pounds on Saturday at Cure Insurance Arena.
