East Michigan News

The Eastern Michigan University gymnastics team has seen three of its athletes recognized by the Mid-American Conference (MAC) with All-MAC honors. The announcement was made on Tuesday, March 18.

Senior Raisa Boris from Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, earned a spot on the First Team. Her performance on the beam was particularly notable, achieving a National Qualifying Score (NQS) of 9.850, which is the highest in the MAC. This marks Boris as only the eighth athlete in Eastern Michigan's history to receive a First Team nod.

Alana Fisher from Athens, Alabama, and Kyrie Lowe from Lake Worth, Florida, both received Second Team accolades. Fisher excelled on the beam with an NQS of 9.845, ranking just behind Boris within the conference. Lowe achieved a 9.825 NQS on bars and recorded two all-around victories this season.

This recognition marks the first time since 2015 that Eastern Michigan has had three gymnasts honored as All-MAC in one season. The previous trio included Anna Willette, Chantelle Loehner, and Kendall Valentin.

Boris's accomplishments extend beyond her beam performances; she also leads her team with five all-around victories during her senior year. Fisher demonstrated versatility by adding consistent beam performances to her repertoire this season while securing wins on vault and floor events. Lowe highlighted her season with a remarkable bars event win against Ball State on March 14.
