Kalamazoo, Mich. – The Bowling Green State University gymnastics team posted its top result of the year at the most important time, recording a 194.600 team score in the Mid-American Conference Championship Saturday at Western Michigan.

Eastern Michigan won the MAC title with a score of 195.900. It was the most competitive MAC Championship meet in league history with the gap from first to last being just 1.300 points. The Falcons were bolstered by a beam score of 48.875, second-best overall.

FROM COACH KERRIE TURNER
"Today was a great finish to a season that called for our team to battle back again and again. To end on a season-high score is truly a tribute to this team's resolve and determination. I asked them to stay focused on our team only, compete the way we compete and enjoy the opportunity. While wins and losses are a big part of measuring success, I also believe becoming more than a team also determines success. This team was every bit a family today and the level of support and energy was outstanding. As we close this chapter on the 2021 season, I have no doubt our program will build off of this experience as we look to the future."
