2024 Hall of Fame: Borrelli Leaves a Legacy of Success on All Levels

Officially, Tom Borrelli walked away last spring, at the conclusion of the 2024-25 wrestling season, his 33^rd in charge of the Central Michigan program.
His presence is still palpable in the Chippewas’ wrestling room which bears his name, in McGuirk Arena, and in wrestling rooms and gyms far and wide. That’s what you call a legacy.
Borrelli will be inducted into the CMU Marcy Weston Athletics Hall of Fame as part of the 2024 class in a ceremony in McGuirk Arena on Friday, Sept. 20 (6 p.m.) and then introduced at the CMU-Ball State football game at Kelly/Shorts Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 21.
He will go into the prestigious hall along with basketball/baseball player Chad Pleiness, gymnast Sarah Dame, football player Eric Fisher, volleyball player Kaitlyn (Schultz) Miller, and cross country/track & field standout Ryan Watson.

Borrelli’s success at CMU has been well documented and etched in stone.
He led the Chippewas to a first-place finish last spring at the Mid-American Conference Championships, marking the 30^th time in his 33 years that his team has won the league tournament or its regular season title. He capped it off with his unprecedented 15^th MAC Coach of the Year Award.
The All-American plaques – for the record, 45 times a Borrelli-coached Chippewa earned the lofty honor – the myriad trophies and awards sit on the shelfs and hang on the walls. … more at … https://cmuchippewas.com/news/2024/9/18/general-hall-of-fame-2024-borrelli-leaves-a-legacy-of-success-on-all-levels
