HARRISONBURG, Va. -- Chris Elliott, a former standout wrestler at Slippery Rock and Slippery Rock's interim head coach during the 2001-02 season, Thursday (July 18) was named the head wrestling coach at James Madison University.    The 31-year-old Elliott replaces Doug Detrick, who was named JMU's coach in June but who resigned recently.  Detrick had replaced 14-year JMU coach Jeff Bowyer in the position.    Elliott was four-year performer and a three-year captain at Slippery Rock where he compiled 106 career wins and earned three invitations to the NCAA Wrestling Division I Championships.  He was a graduate assistant coach at Slippery Rock in 2000-01 and last season led the program to a 7-8 dual-match record while serving as interim head coach.  Slippery Rock in 2001-02 more than doubled its victories total from the previous season and had two wrestlers qualify for the NCAA Division I Championships.    "We're pleased to bring in a coach with Chris' background and enthusiasm for collegiate wrestling," said JMU executive associate athletics director Brad Babcock in announcing Elliott's appointment.  "We think he will be an excellent addition to our coaching staff."    Elliott led Slippery Rock to a third-place finish in last season's Eastern Regional Tournament, and nine of the team's 10 individual entries finished in the top four in the regional meet.    As a college competitor Elliott won the 142-pound Eastern Regional title in 1997 and was regional runner-up in 1998 and 1999.  He was the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference runner-up in 1999, a third-place finisher in 1998 and a fifth-place finisher in 1997.  He spent five years (1991-96) in the U.S. Navy before enrolling at Slippery Rock.    "JMU is in a very nice area.  I was in Norfolk while I was in the navy so I was familiar with Virginia; and when I saw the JMU campus, that sold me," Elliott said of accepting the JMU position.  "I didn't want to pass up the opportunity; JMU has a good tradition."
