FAYETTEVILLE — University of Arkansas freshman gymnast Cami Weaver is scheduled to undergo season-ending surgery Thursday after tearing a knee ligament in last Friday’s meet at Walton Arena.
Weaver’s right knee buckled on the vault landing in her first collegiate routine in the first rotation of the meet against No. 8 Auburn.
“She tore her ACL, which is super unfortunate and a huge loss for us,” Arkansas Coach Jordyn Wieber said on a video conference with reporters Wednesday. “My heart goes out to her. She’s still going to be an important team member for us.
“She brings a super-high level of energy and fun in the gym.
