CHAMPAIGN — Alex Diab’s Illinois gymnastics career has been one for the record books.
Literally.
The Illini senior reached 11 career floor exercise titles, moving him into a tie for 10th with C.J. Maestas this season. It’s his 30 still rings titles, though, that stand out. No Illini has more. And no Illini has ever won four Big Ten rings titles — a record Diab established earlier this month in Iowa City, Iowa.
Diab will put the finishing touches on his Illinois career starting at 7 p.m. today, when the Illini compete in the Session II qualifier of the NCAA championships at State Farm Center.
