Michigan gymnasts Sam Mikulak and Adrian de los Angeles were named to the U.S. National Team after their performances at the Winter Cup Challenge in Las Vegas last weekend.

"I'm completely satisfied with my performance. I came into the meet with a positive attitude and I ended up doing pretty well, so I am happy with that,” said de los Angeles, a freshman for the Wolverines. "Confidence-wise this is huge that the senior team believes in me and thinks I have the abilities to perform.”

By qualifying for the team, Mikulak, a sophomore, and de los Angeles will be a part of the pool that is selected to represent the United States at the Olympic Games in London later this year. The duo will also participate in international competitions throughout the summer, while training with the team.

Mikulak and de los Angeles were also named co-Big Ten Gymnasts of the Week because of their performance at the meet.

EMU wins 60th straight MAC swim meet

The last time the Eastern Michigan men’s swimming and diving team lost a Mid-American Conference dual meet, a gallon of gas cost a buck, Bill Clinton was still in office and none of the current members of the team had reached middle school.

With its win against Miami (Ohio) last Saturday, the Eagles have won 60 consecutive MAC dual meets dating back to the 1997-98 season. During that span, EMU has won 10 MAC swimming and diving championships and 90 individual MAC championships.

The Eagles won 11 of the 16 events against Miami to keep their streak intact.
