"History = Made," McCracken wrote on Instagram after witnessing her longtime love do his thing in Paris, clinching the bronze for his teammates Brody Malone, Frederick Richard, Asher Hong and Paul Juda.. "The most insane, magical day watching you close it out to bring home the first team medal for USA in sixteen years. Words can’t capture how proud I am of you."
Because the retired gymnast has been on hand for Nedoroscik's heroics from the beginning, the athletes meeting ahead of their freshman year at Penn State.
"Four years ago I had my entire collegiate experience ahead of me," he wrote following their 2020 graduation, marking their Fourth of July anniversary. "Little did I know I had already found my favorite part about college."

I’ll be back to play someday soon," she wrote in a March 14, 2020 Facebook post—she's continued to suit up for her man.
Celebrating his spot on the 2024 Olympic squad, Nedoroscik—the 2021 World Champion and a two-time NCAA National Champion in the pommel horse event—praised his "beautiful cheerleader" McCracken.
"I couldn't have done it without you," the Worcester, Mass. native wrote on Instagram July 1. "I love you."
