BOWLING GREEN, Ohio - On Saturday senior Jacque Bernhard and sophomore Breanne Guy will represent Bowling Green State University at the gymnastics Regionals in Baton Rouge, La. The meet is scheduled to start at 6:00 pm CT on the campus of Louisiana State University.
The last time the Falcons sent a gymnast to the all-around was in 2004 when Melissa Popovich qualified. This is the first time that the Falcons are sending more then one gymnast, and the first time BGSU is sending someone to compete in a single event.
Bernhardt has had a great career for the Orange and Brown on vault. For the Central Region she is currently ranked 23rd averaging a 9.735 on vault. Her highest score on the season is a 9.875 which was set back on March 18th against Northern Illinois. Out of the 13 meets BGSU has competed in this season she has scored a 9.7 or higher in 10 of the meets. Her career best was set last year at Texas Women's University when she vaulted to a 9.925.
Guy transferred to BGSU this season after competing for the University of Arkansas last year. She has been a great addition to a growing Falcon team. She competed in the all-around all season for the Orange and Brown. She currently is ranked 18th in the Central Region with an average all-around score of 38.462. Her best came at North Carolina State on March 9th where she posted a 38.900. On vault she is ranked 25th with an average of 9.787 with her highest being a 9.875 (vs. Northern Illinois). She holds the 40th spot on bars with an average of 9.590. Her best score was a 9.775 coming at home against Central Michigan.

On floor she claims the 54th spot with an average of 9.590. Her best is a 9.825, which was scored on the first meet of the season against Missouri.
