At the start of the season, the gymnastics team’s goal was to finally win a national championship. Somehow, that goal fell short. Although they headed to Eau Claire with hopes of a first place finish, they still left with their heads held high.

With the chance of a potential first-place team finish this year at nationals, seniors Allison Nelson and Katie Hedstrom could have the perfect ending to their careers. “I don’t think there are words that can describe that feeling,” Nelson said. “It would be an amazing feeling to end my career with a good finish, not only for me as an individual but as a team.”
