ebraska gymnastics has built a reputation
as one of the nation’s elite programs. The
Huskers are one of only six teams to qualify
for the Super Six Finals at least 10 times over the
last 16 years.
The Huskers have won 14 conference titles in
the past 19 years, while advancing to the NCAA
Championships 13 times during that span. Overall
NU has won 23 conference titles and qualified for
19 NCAA Championships.
But winning titles is just a small part of Nebraska’s
all-around success. Husker gymnasts have
captured 14 CoSIDA Academic All-America honors
and have won the most prestigious academic
honors the NCAA has to offer - including the
NCAA Today’s Top Ten Award.
Husker gymnasts are also outstanding citizens
who regularly volunteer their time to give back
to the community and prepare for success in life
after sports.
