Michigan State gymnastics closed its regular season dominantly, posting a 197.475 to defeat Bowling Green in its final home meet at Jenison Field House. The Spartans swept every event and the all-around title, finishing the regular season 14-3.
Junior Nikki Smith led the way, winning the all-around (39.500), vault (9.900, tied with senior Gabrielle Stephen), and bars (9.925, tied with junior Sage Kellerman). Fifth-year senior Giana Kalefe and freshman Cady Duplissis shared the beam title (9.875), while sophomore Elle Beaufait took top honors on the floor (9.950).
