Get ready to salute as the 26th<br />
annual MAC Open welcomes for the<br />
first time collegiate men’s gymnastics<br />
teams from the Army, Navy and Air<br />
Force. The MAC Open is Friday, Feb. 13<br />
through Sunday, Feb. 15. The men’s<br />
collegiate event is Saturday night.<br />
The MAC Open showcases level 4<br />
through elite men and women gymnasts<br />
from more than 30 gymnastics teams<br />
that travel from Montana, Idaho,<br />
California, Washington, throughout<br />
Oregon, and even Japan to compete.<br />
MAC gymnasts represent the club across<br />
levels of competition throughout the<br />
three-day meet, which culminates in the<br />
team finals on Sunday.<br />
Gymnastics Department Manager and<br />
USA Gymnastics Region II Chairman<br />
Meg Doxtator describes the event as a<br />
homecoming. This is particularly true<br />
this year as Aaron Ingram, who previously<br />
competed for MAC, returns to<br />
represent the Navy in the men’s collegiate<br />
meet. He reme<strong>mb</strong>ers the MAC<br />
Open as “the greatest meet on Earth.”<br />
This month’s MAC<br />
Open includes gymnasts<br />
representing Army, Navy<br />
and Air Force teams.<br />
The MAC Open features women’s<br />
gymnastics on vault, uneven bars, balance<br />
beam, and floor exercise. Men’s events<br />
include floor exercise, pommel horse,<br />
still rings, vault, parallel bars, and high<br />

MAC me<strong>mb</strong>er and graduating senior<br />
Kris Yeager, level 10 men’s gymnast, says,<br />
“It is our time to show the community<br />
what we are all about.” Both the men’s<br />
and women’s MAC teams did so at last<br />
year’s event, as each won the highly<br />
coveted first-place team trophies.<br />
