The CMU gymnastics team has not been at the same level as Northern Illinois since Jan. 15.

The floor exercise in gymnastics is viewed as a true test of personality.

The CMU gymnastics team began its season on the road, narrowly defeating Illinois State 191.65-191.47 on Sunday.

CMU scored its highest on the vault and uneven bars and edged ISU by a tenth of a point in the two categories. A team which it had beaten 15 out of the last 20 times, the meet provided an early season challenge in all the events, said coach Jerry Reighard.

CMU graduated 88 percent of scholarship athletes who attended the school between 1993-94 and 2002-03, higher than the 79 percent national average, according to the graduation success rate report released Nov. 18 by the NCAA.

Several people took a good look at Rose Arena on Saturday as the groundbreaking for the CMU Events Center took place.

Because for better or worse, the building soon will get a makeover.
