A little history...
Waupun Gymnastics Club has grown from a small youth program to an approximately 500 student / year club. Officially started in 2006 by Jane Neevel as a feeder program for the Waupun Warrior HS team, we have grown to offer classes, 4 levels of competitive team, had USAG XCEL State champions, and made school history by producing the first HS team to qualify for the WI State Meet. We have continued to break school records, have multiple All State Athletes, as well as continue to send team & individuals to the State Meet for the last 7 consecutive years. |
In 2018 Emily has stepped into a larger roll at the gym, taking over as Class Manager while continuing to coach all levels including High School.
As of 2019, Jane has retired from the youth program, but continued coaching the High School team for another year, fully retiring after the 2020 season.
In 2019 we transitioned to a board run, not for profit 501(c)(3), and changed our name from GymStars to Waupun Gymnastics Club. Current board members are:
President: Emily Engelhardt
Vice President: Ellie Tenpas
Treasurer: Arlene Roecker
Secretary: Sara Koerner
Member at large: Jane Neevel
WE ARE WARRIOR PROUD!
