It’s time for another in-state rivalry meet, with a Western Michigan team that’s been steadily climbing and an Eastern Michigan roster that’s yet to find its stride this season so far.

The Eagles currently hold an even 49 as their beam high, 0.025 over the Broncos – however the Broncos are averaging nearly two tenths higher. Both teams have demonstrated a knack for sticking beam dismounts over the past month, which should provide great drama in the back half of the meet.
