Today’s MACtion at the Stroh Center will be a who’s who of specialists from both Central Michigan and Bowling Green, alongside the perennial WIAC team title favorite out of UW-Oshkosh. Grab your popcorn for three vault teams with massive scoring potential, all highlighted by different standout vaults: the Chippewas’ have Avah Bootz’ front pike half, the Falcons’ Kathryn Weilbacher with her dynamic Yurchenko full, and Titans’ Emily Buffington bringing her sky high front handspring front pike. Vault aside, this tri-meet will come down to consistency. On the flip side of big vaults, each team has a different key event they’ll want to get through as clean as possible: UW-Oshkosh on bars, Central Michigan on beam, and host Bowling Green on floor.
Injury Update: Lia Kmeciak, key contributor for Central Michigan on vault and bars, has torn her ACL and meniscus and will be out for the remainder of the season.
For fellow Canadian gymnastics fans, today’s lineups are showing former national team member Quinn Skrupa making her all around debut.
