KALAMAZOO, Mich. – The Central Michigan gymnastics team did a lot of growing in a week, and it showed on Sunday.

The Chippewas won three events and the all-around in topping Western Michigan, 194.950-192.900, in their Mid-American Conference opener.

CMU, which is 3-0 overall, scored a 192.075 last Sunday in winning its season-opening tri-meet.

“I told my team in the meeting (Saturday) night I fully expected this would be a coming-out party and they came through,” CMU coach Jerry Reighard said. “I’m really pleased. The highlight of the whole thing for me is we hit 24 for 24 routines and we have not done that in a long time.
