March 22, 2013 | Gymnastics
Cleveland, Ohio - The Mid-American Conference announced its first gymnastics All-MAC Team today, with a total of 12 individuals earning All-MAC First or Second Team honors. The Falcons were twice represented, landing both Megan Harrington and Jamilah Ali on the All-MAC Second Team. The All-MAC Team was voted on by head coaches and based on the athletes' performances during the regular season.
Harrington is the Falcons' top all-arounder this season, currently ranked fifth in the MAC all-around and seventh on beam. After adding difficulty to her routines this year, Harrington has scored career highs on every event, along with notching three all-around scores above 39.000. Her top performances have scored 9.85 (vault), 9.775 (bars), 9.825 (beam), 9.9 (floor) and 39.025 (all-around).
Ali, last year's MAC Freshman of the Year winner, has continued to shine for Bowling Green. On vault, she is ranked fourth in the MAC with a 9.845 regional qualifying score. On beam and floor, Ali has upped her difficulty to include a standing layout-layout series (beam) and a double layout (floor). Like Harrington, Ali has earned career-high marks this season on vault, beam, floor (9.875 each) and all around (39.0). She was also named MAC Gymnast of the Week for the week of Jan. 8.
The 2013 MAC Championships will be hosted by Western Michigan on Saturday, March 23 in University Arena. As a team, the Falcons earned a third-place finish in the regular season and are coming off their highest team score since 2005 - a 195.175 last week in a win over the Broncos.
