'M' looks to make up for Johns' injury

For Michigan women's basketball coach Sue Guevara, it's a simple math equation. If you subtract 20 points and 10 rebounds from one part of your lineup, those same stats must re-appear somewhere else - otherwise, you're in trouble.

Competition won't stop for injuries - and that's unfortunate for the Michigan women's gymnastics team, which faces top-notch competition this weekend. The Wolverines will take on No. 5 Utah tomorrow, and No. 1 Georgia and Arizona on Sunday, with just half of their lineup in healthy condition.

Women's track to host Simmons Invite

While stiffer tests still await, the Michigan women's track and field team has wasted no time getting out of the starting gate.

Sprinters look for improvement
