Illinois legend Justin Spring is moving on.
The Fighting Illini men’s gymnastics coach has taken an assistant coaching job with Alabama’s women’s gymnastics program.
Spring joins Alabama’s new head coach Ashley Johnston. She served as assistant at Illinois under Nadalie Walsh in 2018.
Thank you, Coach Spring, for 12 amazing seasons as our head coach! We wish you the best of luck with Alabama Women's Gymnastics!
You will always be an #Illini
