MINNEAPOLIS — The University of Minnesota's Golden Gophers gymnastics team is abuzz for the U.S. Olympic Team Gymnastics Trials festivities this weekend at the Target Center.
While the student-athletes have been lucky enough to meet some of their favorite gymnasts since they arrived in town, the team is also maintaining a presence of their own.
Teammates Seria Johnson and Sarah Moraw visited KARE 11 Saturday morning to talk about their participation in USA Gymnastics Flip Zone outside Target Center, a Sunday meet-and-greet event and why the community should stay excited about gymnastics long after the Olympic trials are gone.
The No. 15 Gophers gymnastics team finished its 2024 season at the NCAA Regional Finals in early April.
Team member Mya Hooten would go on to tie LSU's Aleah Finnegan and Kentucky's Raena Worley at the top of the floor exercise, earning her a trip to nationals.
