Plocki turned Michigan women's gymnastics into a national powerhouse during her 36-year tenure as the head coach, winning the program's first-ever national title in 2021. She led the Wolverines to 26 Big Ten championships -- the most by any coach, in any sport -- in Big Ten history. She also guided the squad to eight Big Ten regular-season titles, 26 NCAA Championship appearances and 10 NCAA Super Six berths. Plocki's coaching tree has seen numerous student-athletes and assistant coaches go on to coach at the NCAA level, including seven head coaches at the nation's top programs across the country. Plocki is an 11-time Big Ten Coach of the Year, a 13-time NCAA Regional Coach of the Year and a two-time National Coach of the Year, earning the honor in 2021 and 1994. She has led Michigan to 13 NCAA Regional titles and guided the Wolverines to 25 top-10 finishes at the NCAA Championships. Under her tutelage, Michigan captured a Big Ten-record seven conference titles in a row from 1999 to 2005, while 53 of her student-athletes have secured 212 NCAA All-America honors and nine NCAA individual national titles.
