Gymnastics Announces 2020 Schedule

MOUNT PLEASANT, MICH. – A challenging schedule against some of the top teams in the country awaits the Central Michigan gymnastics team in 2020.

The Chippewas travel to four teams that qualified for the NCAA Regional Championships last year – Ohio State (Jan. 25), Southern Utah (Feb. 7), Illinois (March 1) and New Hampshire (March 8).

"This will definitely be one of most challenging schedules in years, but I think this group is up to the challenge and it will definitely prepare us for the postseason," coach Christine MacDonald said. "Having a roster with eight freshmen, we wanted to give them the opportunity to learn how to compete and win on the road."

CMU, the reigning Mid-American Conference regular season champions, opens the season with the Maroon & Gold Intrasquad on Sunday, Jan. 5. Its first regular-season meet is at Michigan State on Saturday, Jan. 11.

Central Michigan opens MAC action at Eastern Michigan on Jan. 19. CMU's other conference road meets are at Northern Illinois (Feb. 2) and at Bowling Green (Feb. 21).

The Chippewas' first home meet is against rival Kent State on Feb. 21. They also host Western Michigan (Feb. 28) and Ball State (March 15).

The MAC Championships are Saturday, March 21, in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

The NCAA Regional Championships are scheduled for April 4.
