LIU NCAA Gymnastics Program Faces Setback as Three More Athletes Enter Transfer Portal

The Long Island University Sharks are facing a tumultuous time in NCAA gymnastics as three more gymnasts have decided to transfer out of the program. This latest blow comes amidst ongoing complaints about the inadequate training facilities on campus, despite the recent unveiling of a new gymnasium.

Freshman Kate Parks, sophomore Logan Hinson, and senior Juliette Rider have all made moves to leave LIU, signaling a significant setback for the program. The lack of proper training facilities seems to be a major factor in their decision to seek opportunities elsewhere.

Fans of NCAA gymnastics have expressed their frustration and disappointment with the situation at LIU. Many had high hopes for the program to rise as a powerhouse in the northeastern region, only to be let down by the ongoing issues with the training facilities.

Some fans have pointed out that the problem may lie with the coaching staff, suggesting that bad coaching could be driving athletes away from the program. Others are questioning why any athlete would commit to LIU in the first place, given the high rate of transfers out of the program.

As the Sharks continue to struggle with retaining their gymnasts and building a competitive program, it remains to be seen how they will address these challenges and regain their footing in the NCAA gymnastics scene. Fans and observers alike are left wondering what the future holds for LIU and its gymnastics program.
