The team achieved record-breaking individual and team scores, high meet and season attendance records, while qualifiying for the NCAA Gymnastics Regionals in 2022-23.
“Since arriving in Fayetteville, Jordyn Wieber has continued to elevate our gymnastics program within the Southeastern Conference and nationally,” Hunter Yurachek said.
“In the past four seasons, our program has qualified for NCAA competition each season, achieved numerous program records, and produced multiple All-Americans. The success of our program has also fostered the growth of gymnastics throughout our state. From a sold-out Barnhill Arena to record-setting crowds at Bud Walton Arena, it is evident that the excitement for Razorback Gymnastics has never been higher.”
In her fourth season, the squad made their 19th straight NCAA gymnastics regional appearance, setting a record with a score of 197.275 and ranking 17th in the nation. They also set a floor record of 49.500. Wieber has successfully coached three regular-season All-Americans: Sophia Carter in 2020, Maggie O’Hara in 2021, and Kennedy Hambrick in both 2020 and 2021.
The team set new attendance records with 11,031 attendees at a single meet and sold out Barnhill Arena for the first time in history with 7,147 fans in attendance for the January showdown against LSU. Their home single-season attendance reached 36,619, ranking sixth in the country, and their average attendance ranked seventh in the country at 7,324.
“I am so grateful to Hunter Yurachek and the University of Arkansas for the opportunity to continue to lead this program,” Wieber said. “I have so much pride in being a Razorback and working with my staff to lead our student-athletes. I am so proud of what we have accomplished so far, but I am equally excited for the future. We are focused and eager to continue building this program and achieving excellence for many years to come.”
