Taylor Jensen Wins All-Around, Floor As Falcons Compete At Eastern Michigan
January 24, 2021 | Gymnastics
Ypsilanti, Mich. – Sophomore Taylor Jensen used the floor exercise title to springboard to a personal best in the all-around as the Bowling Green State University gymnastics team competed at Eastern Michigan Sunday. Jensen's 38.625 was her second all-around title in as many meets this year.
BGSU did not send a full time to Eastern Michigan for the meet and had just three competitors on floor, and four on vault and bars. The Eagles came away with the 194.775-142.125 victory as a result.

JENSEN SHINES AGAIN
OTHER NOTABLE SCORES
FROM COACH KERRIE TURNER
"While we were unable to field full lineups today, I am thankful that our team had the opportunity to compete as many routines as possible. A series of events, from injuries to continuing the return from quarantines, has created some adversity. I am impressed with the mentality of this team and we will know that we will be at an entirely different place competitively in a couple of weeks. Having the grit to work through these challenges shows the character of our student-athletes and the heart of our program.
"Taylor Jensen is growing into her role as an all-around competitor. Similar to last week, she proved she is steady on all four events and I expect her scores to continue to increase this season. Alex Fochler also shined as a specialist on bars and beam.
"As we look to next week, we have many student-athletes on the cusp of routine readiness. We will be trusting the journey we are on and steadily building back to full lineups. Safety continues to be the priority, and we will not rush the process. I am excited to see our program restored to full strength soon."
