"We are thrilled to welcome Julia to our team for the 2017 season," said head coach Jenny Hansen. "Everything moved very quickly with Julia, but we knew pretty instantly that she would be a great fit with our team and the culture we are creating at Minnesota. We expect her to make an immediate impact on Beam for us and she has great potential to contribute on the other events. She will be a terrific addition to one of our biggest classes in school history!"

At the 2016 Missouri state meet, Huebert finished second on every event to also include the All-Around. In 2015, she took home the state Beam and Floor titles and finished fourth in the All-Around. At the 2016 Region 4 meet, Huebert collected sixth place on Beam and ninth on Vault, Floor and in the All-Around. In 2015, she finished seventh on Floor and ninth on Beam. In both 2015 and 2016, she qualified for the vent finals at the Northern Lights meet.
