Career[]

2019 season[]

In the fall of 2018, Wojcik began attending the University of Michigan, joining the Michigan Wolverines women's gymnastics team. In her collegiate debut, she broke the school record of the highest all-around score (39.625) in a college debut with a 39.625; Wojcik also won three event titles (vault, bars and beam) at the same meet. She was named the WCGA Northeast Regional Gymnast of the Year and the Big Ten Freshman of the Year; she was named a two-time All-American for her freshman season: first team on balance beam, second team in the all-around.

In the post-season, Wojcik helped to lead her team to first place at the Big Ten Championships, becoming the Big Ten Floor and All-Around Champion, as well as second-place on vault and beam. Moreover, Wojcik was named to the All-Big Ten first team.[3] At the NCAA National Championships, she became the Regional Floor Champion at the Ann Arbor regional, placed 5th with her team (despite posting the 4th highest score of the two semi-finals), and became the National Beam Champion with a score of 9.950.[4]
