The Kent State gymnastics team is heading into the Mid-American Conference Championships ranked third in the conference. There are high hopes for the team ranked behind only Central Michigan and Northern Illinois.
“We aren’t trying to act like this is a different meet because they can’t do different routines,” Kent State coach Brice Biggin said.
At the last meet, senior star gymnast Rachel Stypinski faced a leg injury that led her on a trip to the emergency room. Biggin confirmed that Stypinski will not be competing this weekend at the championships.
“Losing Rachel meant we lost our leadoff performer on vault,” Biggin said.
