Senior Macey Hilliker injured her right foot during her floor performance as Central Michigan (3-0, 2-0 Mid-American Conference) defeated Western Michigan (1-1, 0-1 MAC) 195.600 to 195.425 in McGuirk Arena on Jan. 20.
Hilliker was the last gymnast to perform for CMU. She fell and grabbed her foot after her initial tumbling routine where should we need medical attention immediately in what appeared to be an achilles injury.
Senior captain Bryttany Kaplan said the team has been talking about having each other’s back.
“The first thing we said after Macey’s injury when we huddled as a team was “we have Macey’s back” and that’s what we’re going to do the rest of this year,” Kaplan said.
