MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. – Like most successful student-athletes who reach the NCAA Division I level, Denelle Pedrick has accumulated a bounty of medals, ribbons and trophies.

Her latest? Well, this one gets a special place in her display case, and in her heart.

Pedrick, a sophomore on the Central Michigan gymnastics team, returned on Sunday from Taipei City, Taiwan, where she helped Team Canada win a silver medal in the World University Games.

It was Canada’s first team gymnastics medal in World University Games history, and Pedrick was part of a five-woman team that included two two-time Olympians, Ellie Black and Brittany Rogers.
