MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. – The Central Michigan gymnastics team will compete for the final time at home in the 2021 season on Saturday (2 p.m.) when the Chippewas welcome Eastern Michigan, Western Michigan and Ball State for the CMU Quad.
All four squads will compete, along with Bowling Green, Kent State and Northern Illinois, on Saturday, March 20, in the Mid-American Conference Championships at Western Michigan in Kalamazoo.
CMU is coming off an excellent performance in winning a quad last weekend at Illinois State. The Chippewas posted a 196.425 team score, the best by a MAC team this season, and the program's highest since 2018.
Two Chippewa sophomores, Hannah DeMers and Audriana Hammond, earned individual honors from the MAC for their respective performances in that meet.
DeMers was named the MAC Gymnast of the Week after posting career-best scores on the floor exercise (9.925) and in the all-around (39.375). She tied for first on floor, tied for second on vault, and tied for fourth on balance beam in leading the Chippewas.
Hammond earned the MAC Specialist of the Week Award after recording a season-best 9.925 in winning the uneven parallel bars.
The Chippewas are ranked 26th nationally and first in the MAC with a 195.164 team average. CMU ranks first in the league on vault, second on both floor and on bars, and sixth on balance beam.
