MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. – Jerry Reighard gathered his gymnasts before their final rotation, the meet all but over.
Reighard’s Central Michigan gymnast delivered an outstanding performance in that final event, the floor exercise, but the hole was simply too deep, the result of subpar performances leading up to the finale.
Eastern Michigan handed the Chippewas a 195.925-194.650 loss in a Mid-American Conference dual Friday at McGuirk Arena.
“The message was that we had to stop the bleeding and they all know what that means,” Reighard said.
