Lyndi (Hahn) Mirkes concluded her career as one of the most decorated athletes in UW-Oshkosh and National Collegiate Gymnastics Association (NCGA) history. 

Hahn collected 13 All-America awards from 1990-93, including an individual national championship on the balance beam in 1990. Her All-America citations were the second most in both NCGA and WIAC history upon her graduation as she helped lead UW-Oshkosh to national runner-up finishes in 1990, 1991 and 1993 as well as a third-place showing in 1992.

Hahn also won five WIAC individual titles as the Titans won three straight league championships from 1991-93 and finished as the conference runner-up in 1990. Her five WIAC crowns are the fifth most in program history.

Hahn, whose 13 All-America awards currently rank second in school history, became the fourth UW-Oshkosh gymnast to win an individual national championship when she captured the balance beam crown in 1990.

Hahn achieved All-America status four times in both the all-around competition and the floor exercise, twice on both the balance beam and uneven bars and once on the vault.

During her freshman season in 1990, Hahn was an All-American after winning on the balance beam and finishing third in the floor exercise and fourth in the all-around event.

In 1991, the Brookfield Central High School graduate won All-America acclaim by placing third on the balance beam and fourth in both the all-around competition and on the uneven bars.

Hahn’s 1992 campaign featured All-America citations for her third-place finishes in the all-around and floor exercise events as well as her fourth-place effort on the vault.

Hahn capped her standout career in 1993 with All-America citations in the all-around competition (third place), on the uneven bars (third) and in the floor exercise (fifth).

Hahn won individual conference titles in the all-around and floor exercise events in 1991, the all-around and vault in 1992, and the vault in 1993.

With Hahn leading the charge, UW-Oshkosh dominated the WIAC for three consecutive seasons as the Titans won their 13th league title in 15 seasons in 1993.

Hahn, a 1993 UW-Oshkosh graduate, was elected to the NCGA Hall of Fame in 2015 after being selected to the WIAC’s All-Time Women’s Gymnastics Team (17 members) in 2012.

Hahn, who has been a certified professional member of the U.S. Association of Gymnastics since 1993, currently coaches at the M & M Gymnastics Club in New Berlin. She was previously an assistant coach at Bowling Green State University (Ohio) from 1993-94 and a coach at the Swiss Turners Gymnastics Academy in Milwaukee from 1994-98.

Hahn resides in New Berlin with her husband, Kipp Mirkes. The couple are the parents of daughter, Jenna, and son, Nathan.
