Intrasquad Notes
On Saturday night (December 12), the 2010 Michigan Wolverines hosted their annual Maize and Blue Intrasquad competition.
During this informal meet, freshmen gymnasts Natalie Beilstein, Brittnee Martinez, and Katie Zurales were introduced to students and fans. In between rotations, the coaching staff answered questions from fans in the crowd. The intrasquad was shown live on mgoblue.com and is now archived online.
