Freshman King back in the Winter Cup, this time as a Husker
MISCHA LOPIANO/Lincoln Journal StarYeah, Jordan King is just a freshman, but the Nebraska gymnast has competed on some big stages already.
Last year, he took part in the Junior Olympics National Championships and the P&G Championships. And this week, he’ll be making his second appearance at the prestigious Winter Cup.
“I’m pretty stoked,” said King, who is one of two Huskers to be invited to the event in Las Vegas. Joining King is fellow freshman Anton Stephenson.
There are two ways to qualify for the Winter Cup. One, competitors must have finished in the top three at the NCAA Championships. Or two, they must have competed in the P&G Championships.
