WGC attended Mock Meet on December 7th at the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities and competed against the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities and Iowa State. We departed from Madison Saturday morning and returned Sunday afternoon. Saturday consisted of competition, a team dinner, and team bonding!
Since this was a mock meet, it was not judged and was simply be a great opportunity for new gymnasts to get used to performing routines and for experienced gymnasts to get back into the competitive mindset.
​
**Important Note: this competition only offered women's events & men's floor and vault**

RECAP & RESULTS
Sarah "U-Rah-Rah" Bollman
Mock Meet 2023 hosted by Minnesota went amazingly for our club! There was great energy throughout the entire competition, and it was an awesome way to begin our season. There were 25 participants competing, and we had 10 gymnasts compete in at least one MAG and one WAG event.
​
Although there were no judges, and no scores, Sarah Bollman, a freshman, won the special U-Rah-Rah award. She embodied the UW spirit throughout the meet by keeping a fun and lighthearted attitude throughout the competition, cheering on all of her teammates, and helping out wherever and whenever we needed help.​
​
We're extremely happy with how the team performed; everyone gave it their all and had fun! Thank you to everyone who was a part of this awesome meet! Thank you especially to the University of Minnesota Gymnastics Club for hosting and to everyone who came to support and cheer! We are now looking forward to our next meet, Flippin Illini, hosted by the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign gymnastics club!
