BOWLING GREEN, Ohio – The Illinois State gymnastics team hits the road to continue its road swing at Bowling Green with a tri-meet against BGSU and Temple on February 15 at 2 p.m. inside Anderson Arena.
Thoughts from Coach Conkling:
"We are looking forward to competing at Bowling Green this Saturday, especially since it is (Assistant Coach) Megan Harrington's alma mater. The team will need to be focused on hitting all their routines to come out on top over both BGSU and Temple. All three teams are within six places in the national rankings, so it should be an exciting competition that could come down to the last routine."
