Meet the Class of 2010!
L to R: Maureen, Sarah,
Jordan, Kelsey, and Jaclyn
At the University of Michigan, freshmen
gymnasts are integral members of the team. Last season,
Becky Bernard,
Huneth Lor,
and Tatjana
Thuener-Rego had an immediate impact on the competitive
lineup. Moreover, they earned several postseason honors:
Tatjana
earned Big Ten Freshmen of the Year and NCAA First Team
All-America honors; Becky
earned NCAA Second Team All-America honors.
Michigan Gymnastics has a long-standing tradition of
success among their freshmen gymnasts. Over
the past 12 years, 10 Michigan gymnasts have earned
14 NCAA First Team All-America honors during their freshman
campaigns [Tatjana
Thuener-Rego (2006, Beam), Katie
Lieberman (2005, Vault), Lindsey
Bruck (2004, Beam), Jenny
Deiley (2003, All-Around), Becca
Clauson (2003, Beam), Elise
Ray (2001, All-Around, Bars, Beam, Floor), Janessa
Grieco (2000, Vault), Sarah Cain (1997, All-Around,
Bars), Nikki Peters (1996, Bars), Heather
Kabnick (1995, Vault)].
This year's freshmen class is primed to continue this
tradition. These five ladies have some big shoes to
fill, after the departure of 2006 seniors Jenny
Deiley, Becca
Clauson, and Lauren
Mirkovich. But they are confident, talented, and
determined to rise to the challenge.
In anticipation of the upcoming intrasquad (December
8th), we wanted to give you, the fans, an opportunity
to get to know the members of the Wolverine Class of
2010. Over the next month, we'll highlight a different
Michigan freshman as part of this "Meet the Freshmen"
feature on umgym.com. In the meantime, check out their
athlete bios.
Stay tuned to umgym.com for further updates!
