Forget football. Maybe Michigan is really a gymnastics school.

Michigan freshman Sam Mikulak won the NCAA men’s gymnastics all-around national championship Friday in Columbus, Ohio, just hours after the Wolverines’ Kylee Botterman won the women’s all-around title in Cleveland.

Mikulak follows teammate Chris Cameron to become the second straight Michigan gymnast to win the men’s all-around title.

"I really didn't think about winning it all when I came in here but it feels great to win my first NCAA championship," Mikulak told The Associated Press. "I tried not to think about the scores as I was going. It feels amazing."

The Wolverines finished fifth out of six teams at the NCAA Team and All-Around Finals at St. John Arena. Stanford won the team national title. (Results)

While becoming just the third Michigan gymnast to win the all-around title - Gil Larose won in 1963 - Mikulak qualified for Saturday’s event finals competition in the floor exercise, vault and parallel bars. Adam Hammers qualified on the pommel horse and Ian Makowske on the high bar.
