BIRMINGHAM, England – Illinois men's gymnastics alumnus Tyson Bull won a silver medal in high bar on Tuesday (Aug. 2) at the Commonwealth Games, while fellow alumni Hamish Carter, and Clay Mason Stephens, and current Illini Josh Cook all earned top-15 finishes in their respective events.

"I am so proud of our Illini who competed at the Commonwealth Games," interim head coach Daniel Ribeiro said. "All four of our athletes made it to finals and Tyson finishing with a silver medal on High Bar will be a moment that he will never forget."

Bull initially did not make the cut to compete in high bar finals, but due to a last-minute scratch  the former Olympian made the most of his opportunity and captured the silver medal for Australia, scoring a 14.233 to finish just .23 points behind gold medalist Ilias Georgiou of Cyprus. Bull also posted a score of 13.133 to finish eighth in parallel bars. 

Carter, competing for Team Scotland, finished three spots behind Bull in sixth place in the high bar finals with a score of 12.433.

Mason Stephens, representing Team Australia, and Cook, competing for Wales, both participated in the all-around finals on Sunday. Mason Stephens scored a 76.800 to finish in 11^th place, one spot ahead of Cook in 12^th with a score of 75.900.

Mason Stephens also posted a seventh-place finish in the floor finals with a score of 12.366.
