Michigan's Paul Juda shares his thoughts on winning the 2025 Men's NCAA Gymnastics Championships with his teammates

Paul Juda shared his thoughts on winning the 2025 Men's NCAA Gymnastics Championships. Juda would have traded every one of his titles for this team title. He mentioned that his teammates struggled a lot through academic and athletic means. He said (via B1G Gymnastics):

"I have said it before and I will say it again, I will trade every singe of those individual awards for this one and I know I was right. Every single one of these guys deserves more than myself, they are my brothers, I know them through thick and thin. I have seen them overcome challenges academically, athletically, and mentally. To raise that trophy together, I mean I always wanted to feel and I am glad they got to."

Juda was also quite successful at the 2024 Men's NCAA Gymnastics Championships, where he won the floor exercise title. Besides, he was also the 2022 all-around champion and in total has 11 NCAA medals in his career.
