KALAMAZOO, Mich. - The Western Michigan gymnastics team travels to Ypsilanti, Mich., on Saturday for the 2022 Mid-American Conference Gymnastics Championships. The meet, featuring all seven league teams, is slated to begin at 2 pm and can be seen live on ESPN3.
Head coach Penny Jernigan's squad is looking to win its sixth MAC title. The Broncos won the conference championship meet in 1986 and 1987 under then-head coach and recently retired WMU athletics director Kathy Beauregard, before adding two more championships in 2006 and 2013. In 2020, Jernigan's Broncos captured the league's regular season title before the postseason meet was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
