Redbirds Come In Second At Michigan State Tri-Meet

EAST LANSING, Mich. – A strong start to the meet helped Illinois State to a second-place finish Saturday night in East Lansing, Michigan, in a tri-meet against the host Spartans and Bowling Green.

Scoring Breakdown:
• Michigan State: 196.475
• Illinois State: 192.625
• Bowling Green: 192.400

Thoughts from Coach Bob Conkling:
"We started off much stronger this week on beam and floor and lost some aggressiveness on our last two events vault and bars. We could have had a very strong meet if the team would have remained focused and positive throughout the entire meet.
