UWW Women’s Gymnastics Team Defeats UW-Eau Claire in Conference Meet
The Warhawks gymnastics team, ranked No. 1 in the NGCA top 25 poll, took another step...
Not many athletes can say they’ve gone undefeated at any level, but after a win on Senior Day over Gustavus Adolphus College Saturday, the women’s gymnastics team has finished the regular season with a perfect record.
The Harley Davidson Quad in Milwaukee couldn’t have ended any better for the women’s gymnastics team Friday.
The Warhawks scored 186.475 points to win, followed closely by UW-Stout (185.475), Hamline University (180.5) and UW-Oshkosh (178.65).
After finishing second at nationals the past two years behind conference rival UW-La Crosse, the gymnastics team has started the season on a high note.
The Warhawks defeated the Eagles in their first home meet 184.825-174.425 and improved to 2-0.
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.”
