“Devastating”: Gymnastics Community Worried as 19-Year-Old Star Possibly Eyeing Transfer After Two Major Exits Despite Strong NCAA Season

January was merciless for Denver’s gymnastics team, with beam scores plummeting below 49.000 thrice, including a crushing 47.975 season opener. But Denver, who were plummeting to 18th in the road to Nationals rankings, shocked everyone at NCAA Regionals, upsetting Stanford and tying 4th-ranked Utah. Their miracle run continued when they toppled 10th-ranked Minnesota to finish third overall in the Regional Final, behind only championship finalists UCLA and Utah.

This was Denver’s sixth consecutive Regional Final appearance, and Associate Head Coach Linas Gaveika played a part in engineering this success since 2013. Denver, who were already looking forward to the NCAA Championships next season, had an earthquake, which they weren’t ready for. Gaveika announced his departure. Days later, Assistant Coach Stephen Hood followed suit.

But there might not only be it for Denver, a new thing going around can leave Denver more worried, which has fans’ reaction to it.

The shockwaves exploded on Saturday about 19-year-old standout Madison Ulrich. According to one X account, Madison Ulrich might be in the transfer portal, the Twitter account read:” MADISON ULRICH IN THE PORTAL????????? ,”

To this one fan noted,” That’s a devastating blow to Denver in addition to losing all the other coaches. Also, I couldn’t tell you for how long but I checked her insta and she’s following Clemson,”

MADISON ULRICH IN THE PORTAL?????????
