KENT, Ohio – A week after one of its worst performances of the season, the Central Michigan gymnastics team produced its best.
The Chippewas won three events and posted a season-best team score on parallel bars Sunday in holding off Kent State in a Mid-American Conference dual at the Golden Flashes’ M.A.C. Center.
The Chippewas totaled a season-best 195.775 one week after they posted a 194.000 in falling in a MAC dual at Ball State. The 194.000 was CMU’s second-worst score of the season.
“Part of the reason that (last week) was so difficult for the coaching staff and for me in particular to accept was that we know what we see in the (practice) gym every day and we’d go to a meet and we wouldn’t see that,” CMU coach Jerry Reighard said.
