Men’s NCAA Championships April 14-16, 2016

Normally even more exciting than the women’s meet, if you can get to Ohio State … get to Ohio State.

We NEED to support Men’s Collegiate Gymnastics in every way we can.

University of Minnesota Head Coach Mike Burns:

On the second day of the Men’s Competition at the 2015 P&G Championships, there were 39 gymnasts competing. Here’s a quick breakdown of those 39 gymnasts:

16 are alumni of an NCAA Program
15 are current members of an NCAA Program
4 are starting their NCAA careers this fall
3 are non-NCAA gymnasts
1 is a Junior in High School

89.7% of all the male gymnasts on Day 2 of P&G’s are current, former, or soon-to-be NCAA student-athletes. …

Part of the solution right now is pretty simple – be part of the largest crowd to attend an NCAA Championships since the early 80’s when Nebraska had over 25,000 fans attend the Championships they hosted. I had the good fortune to compete in the 1980 NCAA Event Finals in front of a packed house at the Bob Devaney Sports Center. Huge crowd, great experience!! We need that again and I believe we can do it with your help. …
