NCAA Champions are Crowned in Ann Arbor

From April 10th to the 12th U of M's Crisler Center was the site of the 2014 NCAA Men's Gymnastics National Championships. With a personal connection to the team I found myself at the festivities shooting away, giving the new 70-200 its first very low light indoor sports shooting test. Needless to say, I feel like it passed with flying colors.

The following images are from the team finals, where Michigan won their 2nd consecutive team national championship, with US Olympian and senior Sam Mikulak taking the individual all around title for the 3rd time in the past 4 years.

Even after a fall, Mikulak still finds reason to smile on high bar
