Brian Melchiori wrestled for the Bronchos for two seasons, 1993-95, and didn't waste any time becoming one in a long list of great grapplers at Central.

He went 29-11 with 13 falls in the 1993-94 season, when he won a national championship at 126 pounds, earned the tournament's Most Outstanding Wrestler award, and led the Bronchos to a third-straight national title. He followed that with a 41-5 senior campaign, again winning the 126-pound national championship and leading the Bronchos to a fourth-straight title. His 41 wins are still the fifth-most in one season in school history.

Melchiori won 70 matches in two seasons at Central including an 8-0 mark in the NCAA Division II national tournament.
