| UIC Individual Highs | ||
| EVENT | OVERALL TEAM FX SKILL VERY GOOD FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR | |
| Floor | Carey Reddick 9.40(9) ;Dave Johnson 9.25(13) Toby vanAmerogen 8.65(28) UIC's event total 35.85 | |
| Pommel Horse | This event was a real saw tooth as each UIC gymnast alternated hit and missed sets. Highest scorer for the Flames was Michael Bush of Northbrook, Il posting a 9.55(t 7th) Jody Liebler from Highland Beach, FL earned a 9.200 (19th) UIC's event total 36.15 | |
| Rings | Red-shirt Sophomore specialist Michael D'Antino competed in his 1stcollegiate meet score 9.35 tying for 5th. Not far behind was Jr. Captain Charlie Nelson in 9th place with 9.30.. Only an all fours landing on stand out Freshman Dave Johnson kept him from finishing hirer that his 16thplace finish with 8.90. UIC's event total 35.80 | |
| Vault | The Edward J. Saleh Award recipient Carey Reddick was top vaulter for the Flames with a 9.45 tying for 11th. An unusual event to get big scores in the Flames must beef the skills on this event in order to make a Regional push. UIC was scared when co-captain Jody Liebler jammed his ankle and scared the entire UIC community. After evaluation Jody was back up and in the lineup. UIC's event total 36.65. | |
| Parallel Bars | Speculated as UIC's worst event of this year by many turned into their best. After the graduation of Sean Grosvenor and Shannon Welker the Flames had a lot of work to do to get up to the standard that this dual gave the Flames. Greg Gabel was the UIC event Champ with a 9.4 and a 10thplace over all placing.. Very close behind was Sr. Carey Reddick with 9.3 (15th) UIC's event total 37.15 | |
| High Bar | The ability to stay on the horizontal bar was not in the cards s the Flames blew 4 of 6 routines. This is a good event for the Flames but the missing performances of Michael Bush and Justin Joyce hurt the Flames Saturday. Again Carey Reddick was UIC's top score with 9.45 an a 6thplace tie. UIC's event total 36.30 | |
| Coaches Corner: | UIC has many positions to work at this week as the Flames play host to the Spartan's of Michigan State Sunday evening. The Flames narrowed out the Spartan's last year for the 6th spot in the Region. After losing a dual meet on the Spartan's home floor. This year race for the Regional Bid will not be any different, as several teams are close again. | |

| UIC Individual Highs | ||
| EVENT | Jody Liebler crashed on his Thomas and stumbled around after trying to find the out of bounds lines for a minute. | |
| Floor | All Reddick again leading the Flames with a strong 9.40. Dave Johnson performed well earning a 9.15 and following close the dazed Liebler with 9.10 UIC's event total 36.35 | |
| Pommel Horse | A disastrous event was shared by most of the Flames as Liebler was beginning to show signs that his day would end early as he made up some routine that none of his teammates ever saw before. Well after looking at all the rest of the sets it appeared we'd never seen them before either! UIC's event total 34.85 | |
| Rings | This was UIC's first event and it appeared the FLAMES were going to be OK, Just some short holds and dismount troubles kept UIC from a new team record. Fr. Dave Johnson really fired up for this one as he nailed a beautiful set with 9.65. Nelson, Orna, Page and D'Antino all score 9+ UIC's event total 36.35 | |
| Vault | Here is where day light came into the gym. UIC has been training very hard to improve their vault scores and today it finally payed off. It was Johnson again leading the way as he scored 9.45, Liebler 9.40, Toby vanAmerongen 9.35 and Carey Reddick 9.25 UIC's event total 36.35 | |
| Parallel Bars | Let's just say one name Carey Reddick 9.45 score lead the Flames and that was it. UIC's event total 34.45 | |
| High Bar | If you came to the meet for falls and burns then you sure got your money's worth. Averaging 3 falls per athlete UIC won this particular competition. However, falls are not a good thing and neither was the 34.6 event score. | |
| Coaches Corner: | UIC was never in this meet as falls were everywhere. UIC hit only 1 of 6 sets on most of the events. UIC has worked very hard to improve their vaulting scores and this was accomplished. 5 - 9.8 vaults were performed for the first time this year. 9.43 team average. Carey Reddick was the second highest average in the all around scoring 54.70 | |

| Pommel Horse | Jody Liebler leader with 9.45 & Michael Bush 9.00 event total 36.00 | |

| Parallel Bars | Carey Reddick still performing consistently here tallying a 9.55. In his first outing as a Flame Mike Bush scored a 9.10 Again the third 9.00 came from So. Jody Liebler with a 9.15. event total 36.35 | |
| High Bar | Bush answered again hitting his new dismount and soaring his release move scoring 9.45. Mike is expected to continue to develop on pipe as UIC's best performer. Not alone in the 9+ category where Koonce, Reddick and Liebler score 9.3, 9.25 & 9.2 respectfully. event total 37.20 | |
| Coaches Corner: | The Flames are continuing to develop a slow pace. But in each of the Flames outings so far have shown promise each time. Floor still is a very weak spot that the team is working hard to improve on. We are hoping some of the Freshman will step up and take the chance to compete. UIC in last weeks poll was 11th in the Nation and 6th in the East Region. | |
MICHIGAN: | ||
| Team Results: | ||
| Michigan 227.350 | ||

| UIC Individual Highs | ||
| EVENT | ||
| Floor | Carey Reddick 9.500 This was an extreme pleasure to see as many hit performaces on an event that the Flames have struggled on in the past 4 weeks. Greg Gabel has never hit a 9.0 score in his entire college careeer. But today was his day as he scored a 9.25 tying him wth teammate Jeremy Koonce. Today's event total 37.35 | |
| Pommel Horse | Jodi Liebler 9.500 The saw tooth saga continued for the Flames again as the Flames found several ways to let Mr. Gravity beat them. Event total 36.45 | |
| Rings | Dave Johnson and Charlie Nelson 9.750 UIC strong men continued to lead the the pack as Freshman Dave Johnson and Charlie Nelson both tallied 9.75 This was both athletes career highs! Event total 37.85 | |
| Vault | Jodi Liebler 9.800 Today was a dream come true when Sophomore Jody Liebler nailed his double twisting Tsuk! This was great to see. Event total 38.00 | |
| Parallel Bars | Carey Reddick 9.600 The spark was back as the Flames had solid performance's hitting 5 of 6 sets! Our new skills are now being hit as the Flames are attempting to match last season's event totals! UIC's Event score 37.90 | |
| High Bar | Jeremy Koonce and Carey Reddick 9.300 When falling on release becomes an event then the Flames will be CHAMPIONS! Falls plagued the Flames which opened the narror lead of Michigan at this point to a run. A positive note was Fr. Dave Johnson's 1st appearance on high bar was with a hit set scoring again another personal mark of 9.10 UIC'c event total 36.45 | |
| Coaches Corner: | The meet was great! Today we hit the majority of our routines with the exception of pommel horse and high bar. The Flames were hanging in quite well with a strong Michigan team. We are looking forward to next weekend's competition at Illinois! Illinois is in my opinion one of the best college team's in the Nation, if not the Best! I am hoping to get our hit percentage up a bit higher or else next Saturday evening will be a complete blow out! | |
