The Kent State gymnastics team (3-5, 2-2 Mid-American Conference) narrowly lost to Western Michigan University 196.025-195.850 on Thursday.
The Flashes had strong performers in every event and posted their highest total score of the season.
“Two kids made mistakes and slipped on bars and we ended up losing a tough one,” coach Brice Biggin said. “It’s so frustrating, we shot ourselves in the foot. There were a lot of things we did well and we should have come out with the win.”
The Flashes had their best score as a team on floor since 2018, finishing with a 49.
