East Reaches Career Milestone Friday Against Central Michigan
February 21, 2020 | Gymnastics
Bowling Green, Ohio – A short-handed Bowling Green State University gymnastics team was unable to overcome one of the top teams in the Mid-American Conference Friday as Central Michigan defeated the Falcons 195.400-191.850.
FINAL RESULTS
BGSU led after one rotation but the Falcons struggled in the middle two sets before rebounding on the floor exercise to close out the meet. Senior Jovannah East won the vault and placed in the top three on beam, floor and in the all-around to go over 100 career top-three finishes. She entered the meet with 98 in her star-studded career.
