After a two week home stand the Bowling Green State University gymnastics team will hit the road on Sunday (Jan. 29) to face the Western Michigan Broncos in Kalamazoo, Michigan. The meet is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. inside University Arena.
What the Falcons have done over the past few weeks has been impressive. After opening the season with a 188.925 at Kentucky, BGSU rebounded with a 191.950 against Central Michigan on Jan. 14 and nearly pulled off the upset versus No. 21 West Virginia, scoring 193.225 this past weekend.
In the meet with the Mountaineers the Orange and Brown recorded season-bests on all four events, scoring a 48.675 (vault), 47.550 (bars), 48.000 (beam) and 49.000 (floor) and had six of the top 12 performances (top three on each event).
Western Michigan improved to 3-0 on the season and 2-0 in the Mid-American Conference, downing Northern Illinois on the road, 194.575 to 193.350 last Sunday. The Broncos scored higher in every rotation but the last and had individual first-place finishes in all four events. Junior Caroline O'Brien was responsible for two of those, taking first on the uneven bars (9.800) and tying for first on balance beam with NIU's Megan Melendez, each with a 9.700.
