LINCOLN, Neb. - On Monday the NCAA announced the second annual Elite 89 Fan Favorite contest in which fans will be able to vote for their favorite Elite 89 Award winner from the 2014-15 academic year. 

The Nebraska men's gymnastics team is represented by rising senior Ethan Lottman, an art major with a 3.96 GPA. Fans do not have to register and can vote for multiple contestants but can only vote once per day per computer.
