The No.14 ISU gymnastics team had a solid night at Hilton Coliseum Friday at the tri-meet against Michigan and BYU. Their efforts proved enough to surpass BYU who scored a 192.050, but they fell short of No. 17 Michigan 196.000-195.625.

The Cyclones came from behind with a stellar performance during their last event, the floor exercise, which included career bests from Celine Paulus (9.850), Jody McKellar (9.825) and Melanie Tham (9.800). Michelle Browning chipped in with a 9.875, a team best.

Coach Jay Ronayne said he was worried during warm-ups on the floor exercise because he said the team was looking bad.

“We were down so much after three events, we really had to dig deep,” Ronayne said, “We ended up with our biggest score of the year on floor.”

Even with a season high score of 49.175 on floor exercise, the Cyclones couldn’t top the Wolverines.
