DeKALB, Ill. – Northern Illinois University Hall of Famer Nita Teague, a 19-year member of the Huskie women's gymnastics staff who has served as interim head coach of the program since September, will have the interim tag removed, NIU vice president and director of athletics Sean T. Frazier announced Tuesday.
Following the conclusion of the 2025 season, NIU conducted a national search for the position with Teague emerging as the top candidate, Frazier said.
"As we went through the search process, Nita's extensive experience in college gymnastics, her ability to connect with and develop student-athletes, as well as her familiarity with NIU quickly established her as the best choice to lead the program going forward," Frazier said.
