Gymnastics stay undefeated in MAC, take third place at Illinois/Michigan challenge


The Central Michigan gymnastics team placed third at the Illinois/Michigan challenge on Friday.

The Chippewas were behind Illinois State and Illinois-Chicago, but managed to beat fellow Mid-American Conference member Eastern Michigan. By beating EMU, CMU is now 4-0 in the MAC.

Head coach Jerry Reighard was unavailable for comment.

Senior Kristin Teubner had her best meet of the season. She scored a 39.275 all-around. Teubner scored first-place overall scores on the beam and floor at the meet.

With freshman all-around Rebecca Druien out with an elbow injury, the Chippewas had to count on other freshmen.

Freshman Halle Moraw scored a 9.775 on the floor exercise, while Taylor Noonan scored a career-high 9.8 on the balance beam.

CMU has now beat EMU in 12 straight meets.

CMU (8-3) next competes on Saturday, when they host rival Kent State.
