Both the Minnesota Golden Gophers men’s and women’s gymnastics teams competed in the NCAA Championships over the weekend, and while both teams had high hopes of individuals bringing home NCAA Championships to Minneapolis, it was the men’s Shane Wiskus who came through winning individual NCAA Championships on both the still rings and parallel bars. Wiskus also finished in second place in the men’s all around as the Gopher men finished in fifth place in what is most likely their final meet as a varsity team.
While the highest hopes were originally with the Gopher women, it was the men who made one last run as a program.
