    Sentes hired as assistant wrestling coach at Cal Poly

    SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. -- Scotti Sentes, a two-time NCAA Division I All-American and four-time national qualifier while wrestling at Central Michigan, has been named assistant wrestling coach at Cal Poly.

    “In looking for an assistant coach this spring, we wanted to hire someone that not only was good on the mat but also someone that could relate well to our student-athletes and help us promote the Mustang Mission,” third-year Mustang head coach Brendan Buckley said Thursday in announcing the hire.

    “We feel strongly that we accomplished this in hiring Scotti Sentes,” Buckley added. “He is a great technician and will be a terrific asset for returning NCAA qualifier Devon Lotito as well as all of our wrestlers.”

    Sentes twice won Mid-American Conference titles (2009 and 2011) and placed third in 2010 and 2013. He finished his Chippewas career with a 108-33 overall record, including 55-12 in duals (17-1 in MAC dual meets) and 53-21 in tournaments. Among his 108 career wins were 23 falls.

    Sentes placed fourth in the NCAA finals at 133 pounds as a junior in 2011 and seventh at 125 as a freshman in 2009.

    While wrestling at Central Michigan, Sentes also was involved in numerous camps and club teams. He was a clinician for wrestling clinics and camps at Central Michigan and throughout the country under Chippewas head coach Tom Borelli.

    Sentes also was founder and head coach/clinician for Team Anaconda Blood and was a coach for National Team Florida, preparing wrestlers for national competition during the high school offseason. He also was an instructor for the Riverdale Wrestling Club during his high school career.

    Sentes was a four-time Florida state high school champion while attending Riverdale High School, compiling a 213-3 career prep record and winning his last 140 matches. He also finished runner-up in the state finals at 103 pounds while competing with the varsity as an eight-grader in 2004. He was 51-0 with 36 falls as a senior. Sentes also won a senior nationals title in 2008.

    Sentes earned his bachelor of science degree in English at Central Michigan last May.
