Renee (Counard) McGrath made the most of her two stupendous seasons with the UW-Oshkosh women’s gymnastics team, winning one national championship, earning eight All-America awards and capturing a pair of conference titles.

McGrath, a Green Bay East High School graduate, transferred to UW-Oshkosh for the 1990 and 1991 seasons after competing at NCAA Division II Northern Michigan University in 1988 and NCAA Division I Central Michigan University in 1989.

McGrath received All-America status in four events at the 1990 National Collegiate Gymnastics Association (NCGA) Championship by finishing second in the floor exercise (18.55), fifth in both the all-around competition (35.70) and balance beam (17.65) and sixth on the vault (18.30).

McGrath added four more All-America citations at the 1991 NCGA Championship by winning the vault (19.20) while placing second in the all-around competition (36.80), third on the uneven bars (18.15) and sixth on the balance beam (17.60).

McGrath also won the uneven bars (9.20) and floor exercise (9.40) at the 1990 and 1991 WIAC Championships, respectively.

McGrath’s talents helped UW-Oshkosh to a pair of second-place finishes at the NCGA Championship and a victory at the 1991 WIAC Championship.

McGrath lives in Hobart and has worked as an Elementary Education Teacher in the Green Bay School District since 1995. McGrath has also worked for Encompass Early Education and Care since 1994 and Tri-County Gymnastics and Cheer since 2002.
