The Western Michigan gymnastics team begins its 2016 season on Saturday, Jan. 9 against Illinois-Chicago. This will be the third season under head coach Penny Jernigan and the Broncos hope this season ends in the first NCAA Regionals berth for Western Michigan as a team in program history.
The Broncos return 11 gymnasts from last year including the 2015 MAC All-Around Champion, Anna Corbett, who had a score of 39.125 over all four events at the MAC Championships. Finishing just behind her was Kayla Weber who totaled 39.
