The Western Michigan gymnastics program achieved the fifth highest grade-point average in the nation for the 2015-16 academic year, according to the National Association of Collegiate Gymnastics Coaches/Women.
Collectively, the Broncos carried a 3.7206 GPA, marking the fifth-straight year Western Michigan has finished in the top 10 nationally. WMU had the highest GPA among Mid-American Conference institutions, marking the fifth straight season to lead the league. Its highest mark in that time was a second place finish nationally in 2013 when the Broncos posted a 3.8086 GPA.
“Finishing fifth in the nation this year and first in the MAC again is a tremendous accomplishment by our gymnasts,” head coach Penny Jernigan Said.
