THIS IS NEBRASKA Nebraska 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 15 conference titles in the past 20 years, while advancing to the NCAA Championships 14 times during that span. Overall NU has won 24 conference titles and qualified for 21 NCAA Championships. But winning titles is just a small part of Nebraska’s all-around success. Husker gymnasts have captured 15 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.
