. – Two-time All-American Mark DiSalvo has returned to the Central Michigan University wrestling program as an assistant coach.

“He is a CMU guy, and that is something that is very important to me,” said CMU head coach Tom Borrelli. “He went through our program and was a two-time All-American, and I think it speaks volumes that he wants to be back here.

DiSalvo has also been involved at the club level, serving as executive director of Finger Lakes Wrestling Club and co-founder and director of Advantage Wrestling Club.

DiSalvo graduated from CMU with a bachelor’s degree in sport studies in 2005. He is currently pursuing a master’s degree in sport administration.
