The men’s gymnastics team has been reinstated at W&M at least through 2021-22 — the university will reset its process to determine long-term sustainability for the athletic department.

A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone that sent emails, wrote letters, pledged, called, etc.

We are THRILLED that both of our teams have been reinstated, but we still need YOU. The support from our community has never been more important, and will be crucial to the long term success for both of our programs.
