Lexi Funk finished her second season as Michigan's volunteer coach in the 2022 season.
In her first season on staff, Funk teamed up with associate head coach Scott Sherman and assistant coach Maile'ana Kanewa-Hermelyn to be named the WCGA Assistant Coaches of the Year as the program won its first-ever national title.

Funk followed it up earning Regional Assistant Coach of the Year honors along with Sherman and Kanewa-Hermelyn in the 2022 season. Michigan topped the national rankings for nine straight weeks to start the 2022 season and continued to set a new standard for Michigan gymnastics.

In the same meet, U-M set a program record on the vault with a 49.875, the second highest in NCAA history at the time, which included three straight perfect 10.0s.
During her career at Michigan, Funk was named an All-American on the balance beam in the 2019 season and was a three-time All-Big Ten honoree. Funk was an instrumental part of the Wolverines success in her four year career, helping the team to three Big Ten Championships and four consecutive Big Ten regular season championships, while also leading the team to two NCAA Championship appearances in 2017 and 2019.
In the classroom, Funk was named a WCGA Scholastic All-American, a two-time Big Ten Distinguished Scholar, and a three-time Academic All-Big Ten honoree.
