Florida gymnastics coach Rhonda Faehn has resigned her position to take a job with USA Gymnastics, Florida announced in two releases early Friday.
Faehn, 43, informed UF administrators of her decision to move on Thursday and told her team in an emotional meeting Friday after the squad posed for a national championship team photo.
"It was incredibly hard," Faehn said. "I absolutely love Florida and what the University of Florida stands for. At the same time, I really feel there is another plan for me. I’m still going to be doing what I love and hopefully making an impact on the lives of a lot of athletes who will be representing our country.
