Fantastic February
Senior Kristin Teubner had quite the month of February,
posting a 39-plus all-around score in four-straight meets. She was twice named
Mid-American Conference Gymnast of the Week and scored a 9.8 or better 11 times
during the month. The reigning MAC Co-Gymnast of the Year continues to make a
strong case to earn the award for the second straight season as well as MAC
Senior of the Year.
1-2 Punch
Sophomore Brittany Petzold has continued to shine in her
second season in the maroon and gold, complementing Teubner along the way.
Petzold has posted a 39 or better all-around score three times this season and
ranks first in the MAC in uneven bars average. Teubner and Petzold have posted
the two highest all-around scores in the MAC this season, with Petzold's 39.300
versus Texas Woman's University on January 29.
MAC Regular Season Champs
The Chippewas claimed at least a share their second-straight
MAC regular season title last time out, defeating Northern Illinois,
194.950-193.925. CMU's score was its highest of the season as it ran away with
the meet in the final rotation, scoring a 49.000, as each gymnast scored a
9.750 or better. A meet with in-state foe Western Michigan is still slated for
March 17 and the Chippewas can claim the regular season title outright with a
victory over the Broncos.
27 and Counting
With their win over Northern Illinois
two weeks ago, the Chippewas extended to 27 their streak of consecutive wins
over MAC opponents. CMU has reeled off 15-straight regular season victories and
claimed 12 postseason wins in the process of claiming the last two MAC
Championships titles. Its last conference loss came on Feb. 13, 2010, against
Kent State.
