HEAR FROM HEAD COACH JEN LLEWELLYN
“It was a good start to the 2025 season. I think that our new faces in the lineup handed the pressure of their first meets really well and I am proud of how they performed. You could definitely see a little bit of nerves but that is as expected for the first meet of the season but overall, super proud of the team. We have a lot of room to improve, and I am excited for us to get back into the gym and turn our focus to Ohio State.”
UP NEXT
The GymHawks will travel to Columbus, Ohio, to face Ohio State on Thursday, Jan. 18. Action inside of Covelli Center will begin at 3:00 p.m. CT and will be streamed on B1G+ (subscription required).
