MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. – Just two days after a historic performance at the Mid-American Conference Championships, the Central Michigan gymnastics team learned on Monday its next destination.
The Chippewas are headed to Tuscaloosa, Ala. for an NCAA Regional on Saturday, April 7. CMU is one of 36 teams selected to partake in six regionals across the country. The Chippewas will join the host Crimson Tide, Michigan, Georgia, Missouri and Illinois in the regional.
Alabama is ranked sixth, Michigan is seventh, and Georgia is ranked 18th.
“Tuscaloosa is a great venue, it’ll be an exciting audience … they just make that place vibrate,” CMU coach Jerry Reighard said.
