Bowling Green, Ohio -- For a week, we asked our fans to vote for their favorite student-athletes of the past 20 years. Throughout the month of September, we will reveal one selection at a time each weekday over a five-week stretch. Today, we highlight your No. 16 choice for the top student-athlete of the past 20 years, gymnast Jovannah East!

16. Jovannah East (2017 - 2020)

From the moment she arrived at BGSU, Jovannah East got the attention of the rest of the MAC.

Her freshman campaign was a resounding success, as she was awarded MAC Freshman of the Year and named to the All-MAC First Team. She scored 9.800 or better for 28 of 32 routines across three events (vault, beam, and floor), and was named to the MAC All-Tournament Team. She also qualified for the NCAA Regional.

East's sophomore season was another impressive showing, as she once again was named to the All-MAC First Team, and was a MAC vault co-champion. East placed 16th out of 18 in the all-around at the NCAA semifinal. She became the first Falcon since Marny Oestreng in 1999 to reach nationals and was the first Falcon ever to compete as an all-arounder at nationals.

After a third consecutive All-MAC First Team selection, East won the all-around title at five meets during her senior year.

Jovannah East concluded her career with 114 top three event finishes (70 first-place results and 25 second-place results).
