Congratulating the University of Wisconsin–La Crosse women’s gymnastics team on winning the 2025 National Collegiate Gymnastics Association Championship.
The resolution highlights the individual achievements of team members, such as junior Grace Kehr, who won the vault championship, and several other gymnasts who earned All-America honors in various events. The success of the women’s gymnastics team also reflects positively on the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, showcasing the strength of their athletics program and fostering a sense of pride within the school and the surrounding community. It emphasizes the importance of sports in promoting teamwork and excellence.
SJR36 is a Senate Joint Resolution that honors and congratulates the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse women’s gymnastics team for their remarkable achievement in winning the 2025 National Collegiate Gymnastics Association Championship. On March 22, 2025, the team recorded an impressive score of 194.925 points at the championship event held at Gustavus Adolphus College, marking the program's 18th national title, the first since 2016. This resolution pays tribute to their hard work, dedication, and success throughout the season.
While SJR36 serves as a congratulatory gesture, it also raises the question of how state resolutions can effectively promote local successes and achievements. This resolution may face minimal opposition, as it primarily seeks to celebrate a positive outcome for a university sports team. However, the underlying implications of state recognition for athletic achievements could provoke discussions about funding and support for university athletic programs compared to other academic or cultural initiatives within the state.
