Hey Illini fans!
It's crazy how fast time flies, with Halloween in less than a week and November right around the corner, we have reached the halfway point of preseason. Everyone is working hard in and out of the gym to accomplish our goals. The coming weeks will be full of intense practices and attention to detail. With that being said, we are looking forward to our first mini intra- squad which is on November 1st. We will be doing full routines on some events, and halves on others. Last year we were put into two teams, The Flipping Dead and The Gymumpkins, where The Flipping Dead came out with the win. It will be exciting to see what the coaches come up with this year and who will come out victorious! Read More
