One of the most successful head coaches in Michigan and Big Ten history called it a career on Wednesday as Bev Plocki, the long-time head coach of the Michigan Wolverines women's gymnastics teams, announced her retirement.
Thank you for 36 incredible years, Bev! You put Michigan gymnastics on the map and for that, we are forever grateful to you.

Plocki's impact on the Michigan Wolverines is hard to describe. She built the women's gymnastics program into one of the best in the country. The Wolverines not only won a national championship back in 2001, but they also won 26 Big Ten championships, 13 NCAA regional championships, and had 10 Super Six appearances.
Plocki was two-time National Coach of the Year. She was also named Big Ten Coach of the Year 11 times. She holds the record for most Big Ten championships won by a head coach (26).
That record may never be broken.
