The Warhawks gymnastics team looks to continue its success from the last two years after winning back-to-back national championships.
Despite losing 2013...
For the last couple years, the gymnastics team had a national championship in mind.
Finishing third in 2009 and 2010 and second last year, the Warhawks finally reached that goal after winning their first national title the weekend of March 24.
The ’Hawks put up 188.05 points, good enough for fifth best in school history. UW-La Crosse, who won the past four years, finished third.
Coming off its best season ever, the gymnastic team looks to finally capture a national championship.
The Warhawks won the WIAC conference title last season and took second at nationals for the second year in a row behind UW-La Crosse.
Justine Weyer’s place in the UW-Whitewater gymnastics record books is very secure. To cap off her storied career, Weyer captured her second vault national title March 27 in Springfield, Mass. As a result of her banner season, she has been selected as the 2009-10 Royal Purple Female Athlete of the Year.
