COLUMBUS, Ohio (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University gymnastics team closed out its 2018 campaign at the NCAA Regional Championships Saturday, April 7, in Columbus, Ohio. There, sophomore Emili Dobronics (Orland Park, Ill.-Carl Sandburg) competed in the all-around, while senior Kendall Valentin (Holmdel, N.J.-Holmdel) participated on beam.
After sitting out of the first rotation on a bye, Dobronics got her day started on floor. There, she notched a 9.8, which serves as the ninth time this season she has recorded a 9.8-or-better on the event. The third rotation saw the Orland Park, Ill. native mark a 9.7 on vault, before having to sit out on her second and final bye of the evening in rotation four.
Coming out of her final bye, Dobronics posted a 9.725 on bars to keep her consistent streak going. The sophomore finished her evening out on beam, scoring a 9.75 to bring her all-around to 38.975.
Valentin had to wait patiently through the first two rotations before performing on bars. Once time to compete, the senior nailed her routine, however, a mishap on the dismount resulted in her earning a score of 9.35, bringing her season to an end.
Despite a fantastic run, EMU's season now comes to a close. The Eagles will turn their attention to the offseason, where they will enjoy a much deserved rest, before getting back into action in preparation for next season.
