CMU wrestling discusses if sport is team or individual

Members of the Central Michigan wrestling team celebrate after the win against Old Dominion on Jan. 27 in McGuirk Arena.

The Central Michigan wrestling team believes the sport can be both individual and team oriented.

CMU has opened this season 5-2 overall and 3-2 in the Mid-American Conference. Twenty-two of the 27 wrestlers on the Chippewas' roster have winning records with juniors Colin Heffernan and CJ Brucki leading the way with 22 wins each, followed by 21 from sophomore Justin Oliver.

Though the Chippewas have begun the season with a winning record as a team, Heffernan said he knows his individual performance is just as important as how the team performs.
