EIGHT-TIME NCAA TEAM CHAMPIONS | INTRODUCTION

4 | nebraska men’s Gymnastics | 2014-15

Huskers Seek Growth in Big Ten Conference, Sights Set on Top Six NCAA Finish With the loss of six key gymnasts, the Nebraska men’s gymnastics team looks to build on its eighthplace finish at the NCAA Championships in 2014, NU’s highest placing finish since 1999. Head Coach Chuck Chmelka expects this year’s five seniors to guide the new members of the team through the 2015 season.

In 2015, Nebraska hopes to continue improving on its performance within the Big Ten. The conference’s excellence in men’s gymnastics will continue to provide challenging matchups for NU. Chmelka said the team is prepared for the challenge, as the Huskers enter into their fourth season in the conference.

“We really have some great talent on our team this year,” Chmelka said. “There’s really a great mix of older, middle and younger guys that are all ready to see what this season brings. This year, making the top six at the NCAA Championships is totally seeable and doable. And we are going to fight hard to get there.”

Senior Leadership Nebraska will look to its five seniors to help lead the team in the gym and the classroom this year. Andrew House and Louis Klein anticipate leading the team on several events for the Huskers this season. The duo also plans to provide strong leadership and support to the newcomers looking to make an impact.

Two-time returning All-American Grant Perdue looks to continue in his roles as leader on floor and vault, seeking All-America honors in his final competitive season at Nebraska. Teammate Josh Ungar should also add key scores on floor and vault while adding help on parallel bars and high bar.

Robbie Kocks, a 2014 Big Ten still rings medalist, expects to continue as a leader in the rings lineup and push for postseason appearances on the event.

“The seniors are all part of my first and second recruiting classes as the head coach, so that’s really special for me,” Chmelka said. “Every one of those guys are leaders in their own right. They’re not in it for them, they’re in it for the team. I think this will be a great year for them.”

Junior Potential Nebraska’s junior class may be small in numbers, but is full of potential as the team enters its fourth Big Ten campaign.

Returning All-American Sam Chamberlain expects to hold the reigns on parallel bars, as well as make contributions on floor, vault and high bar.

Ethan Lottman seeks continued success on floor, pommel horse and high bar. Lottman qualified for the individual event semifinals at the 2014 NCAA Championships in pommel horse, posting the highest score by any Husker on the event in 2014.

He looks to build on that success in this year.

Ryan Irick, who sat out the 2014 season with injuries, hopes to help fill in the gaps on pommel horse and rings for the Huskers in 2015.

Sophomore Power Austin Epperson and Travis Gollott will lead NU’s sophomore class after a stellar collegiate gymnastics debut. Epperson plans to improve his performances on floor, rings, parallel bars and high bar. The Allen, Texas, native set personal bests of 14.30 or higher in all four events in 2014.

High-profile recruit Gollott delivered in his first

competitive season at Nebraska, and hopes to build on the excellence he established as a freshman on floor, pommel horse, vault and parallel bars.

Antonio Castro comes off his first successful season with the Huskers and is hoping to grow on floor, pommel horse, vault and high bar in the 2015 season.

Coleman Tokar contributed in two regularseason meets before suffering a season-ending injury in 2014. This season, Tokar hope to develop develop his strength on floor, vault and high bar to become a steady performer for the Huskers in his sophomore campaign.

Chris Stephenson is a transfer from Air Force seeking success in his first year as a Husker. The Fishers, Ind., native is recovering from an injury suffered in the summer but is expected to be one of NU’s top all-around competitors.

Freshman Talent The Huskers’ talented freshman class features a total of eight members. Redshirt freshmen Connor Adamsick and Brenon Sommers anticipate making the lineups in 2015, while guiding the remaining newcomers in their first competitive season at Nebraska.

Fellow Redshirt freshman Sanjaya Roy will also look to adjust to collegiate competition in his first competitive season. A native of Douglassville, Pa., Roy could contribute in some key roles on rings, parallel bars and vault for NU. The Huskers’ five remaining freshmen consist of high-profile recruits sought after by numerous schools across the country. Kyle King, a native of Mesquite, Texas, comes to Nebraska after an outstanding 2014 competitive club season. At the 2014 P&G Championships, King tied for the floor title in the men’s junior age 17-18 division. He could be a major force on floor, pommel horse and vault in 2015.

Daniel Leal enters his first year at Nebraska after a successful 2014 season at the club level. A native of Cali, Colombia, Leal took home the high bar crown at the 2014 Region 7 Championships and has been an active member of the Colombian National Team since 2009. Leal anticipates competing in the all-around for NU in his first collegiate season.

Josh Everitt from Tucson, Ariz., captured the

bronze on rings at the 2013 Junior Olympic National Championships and is expected to add key depth on floor, pommel horse and rings for Nebraska.

Fellow Arizona native Alex Magsam from Scottsdale comes to Nebraska looking to begin a successful career in the all-around. At the 2013 J.O. National Championships, Magsam won the floor and all-around titles. At the 2014 Region I Championships, he took home two first-place medals on rings and vault.

Andrew Zymball, a native of La Vista, Neb., is a local name looking to continue the program’s rich tradition. At the 2014 J.O. National Event Finals, Zymball earned the silver on parallel bars. He hopes to provide added depth on floor, rings, vault and parallel bars for the Huskers in 2015.

Challenging Schedule The Huskers begin their 2015 season on Jan. 17 at the Rocky Mountain Open before traveling to Palo Alto, Calif., for a quadrangular with Stanford, California and Oklahoma. NU returns to Lincoln to open its home schedule on Jan. 30. Nebraska will welcome Army to the Bob Devaney Sports Center in the first meeting between the two teams since 2005.

The Huskers will then hit the road again for four straight away meets. They travel first to Minneapolis, Minnesota to face the Golden Gophers on Feb. 7, before venturing to Iowa City in a Big Ten triangular against Iowa and Minnesota on Feb. 14.

Nebraska will next travel to Las Vegas, Nev., on Feb. 19 for the 2015 Winter Cup Challenge. The Huskers will have a week off before hitting the road once again to compete in a dual with Illinois on March 8 in Champaign, Ill. The team returns home for Senior Night against Iowa, Minnesota and Penn State for its last meet of the regular season.

The 2015 Big Ten Championships will be hosted

by Penn State on March 27-28 in University Park, Pa. A combination of the team’s regular-season and conference championships performances will determine whether NU qualifies for the NCAA Championships. The national championships will be held at the University of Oklahoma on April 9-11 in Norman.

Men’s Gymnastics Events

Floor Exercise The entire floor area must be used during the exercise, which consists primarily of three to five tumbling passes performed in different directions. The new NCAA scoring system requires gymnasts to include non-acrobatic elements, acrobatic forward, backward and sideward elements and a dismount. The exercise must also contain elements of balance, strength, jumps and leg circles. The area of the floor exercise mat is 40 feet by 40 feet.

Pommel Horse The gymnast must cover all three areas of the horse, the middle and both ends, while performing continuous circular movements interrupted only by the required scissor element. The only parts of the body that should touch the apparatus are the hands. The entire exercise should flow with a steady, controlled rhythm. Considered by many to be the most difficult of all men’s gymnastics events, the pommel horse is also the most subtle.

Each move is defined by complex hand placements and body positions.

NCAA rules require gymnasts to include single leg work, circles, spindles and handstands, side and cross travels, kehres and wendeswings and a dismount. The pommel horse stands 42 inches high as measured from the top of the mat to the top of the apparatus.

Still Rings

The ring routine must include a swing to a handstand, swing to a strength element and a static strength skill. The exercise must also include kip and swing portions that may not lead to a held position. Examples of strength elements include a cross, an inverted cross or a planche. The rings should be absolutely still and in control at the end of each skill. The rings are 100 inches from the top of the mat.

Vault

Each individual vault is categorized in the Code of Points, the official text giving relevant value of each skill performed. During the pre-flight from the springboard to the horse, the body must maintain proper form, i.e. legs together and straight. During the second flight, from the horse to the landing, the gymnast’s body must rise and show a complete body extension before landing. The landing should be firm, without extra steps, and in line with the horse. The men’s vault stands 53 inches high.

The runway is a maximum of 82 feet long.

Parallel Bars A parallel bar routine consists of swinging, flight and hold elements. The gymnast is required to execute swinging skills which originate from a support, a hang below the bars and an upper arm hang. Also required is at least one skill from the strength, leg swing and side bar element group.

The parallel bars stand 70 inches high.

High Bar The routine on the high bar consists exclusively of swinging parts without stops. The gymnast must execute at least one move in which he releases and re-grasps the bar, and must perform at least one giant with either his back to the bar or with an “eagle” grip in which the wrists are rolled outward until the thumbs are on the outside. The gymnast is also required to perform an “in bar” skill like a stalder circle. The bar is 100 inches from the top of the mat.

2015 NEBRASKA MEN’S GYMNASTICS COACHES

Chuck

Chmelka

Head Coach • Nebraska (1982) • Sixth Season

Honors & Awards • 2007 CGA West Region Assistant Coach of the Year • Three-Time National Championship Team Member • U.S. National Team Member (1981) • Nebraska School of Gymnastics Program Director • USAG Junior National Staff • 2013 National Association of Collegiate Coaches Honor Coach Award Chuck Chmelka enters his sixth season as Nebraska’s head coach, prepared to lead the Huskers through its fourth season in the Big Ten. In his last four years as NU’s head coach, he has helped produce four top-10 NCAA finishes.

Chmelka looks to continue leading the Huskers to become one of the nation’s top-ranked programs in the years to come.

The Huskers completed the 2014 season strong despite being plagued with injuries early on. Senior Wyatt Aycock led the team in the allaround, earning his second All-America honor in a row. Over the course of the season, a total of 15 Huskers set or tied career high scores on individual events. These achievements helped pave the way for NU’s eighth-place finish at the 2014 NCAA Championships, the highest team finish under Chmelka and the program’s best showing since 1999.

Chmelka led Nebraska to history in the 2013 season by producing three All-Americans in Wyatt Aycock, Grant Perdue and Sam Chamberlain. The trio became NU’s 48th, 49th and 50th All-Americans since 1975. The trio of All-America awards were the most earned in a single season since the program last produced three All-Americans in 1999.

Chmelka first led a historic change in Nebraska’s program in 2011-12, as the Huskers entered their first season in the tradition-rich Big Ten Conference. Under Chmelka’s leadership, NU completed its inaugural Big Ten season with a 10th-place NCAA finish paced by freshman AllAmerican Grant Perdue.

Historic changes are nothing new to Chmelka.

Before the 2010 season, Chmelka replaced legendary NU coach Francis Allen, a virtual icon of U.S. men’s gymnastics.

In his first season as head coach, Chmelka helped the Huskers improve in 2010. Nebraska returned to the national top 10 by tying for ninth with a veteran team. In 2011, the Huskers continued to build by posting another top10 national finish despite a lineup made up of primarily first- and second-year gymnasts.

Chmelka has deep ties to the tradition-rich Nebraska gymnastics program. He served as an assistant under Allen from 1986 to 2009, and assisted with three of the Huskers’ eight national team championships.

Chmelka also competed at Nebraska from 1978 to 1981 and was a member of NU’s first three national championship teams in 1979, 1980 and 1981.

Since Chmelka joined the staff in 1986, he has coached Nissen-Emery Award winners Wes Suter (1986) and Tom Schlesinger (1988) and helped Nebraska win eight conference crowns.

Chmelka was named the 2007 CGA West Region Assistant Coach of the Year and was a finalist for the 2009 CGA West Region award.

Since 1982, Chmelka has been the program director and head coach for the Nebraska School of Gymnastics (NSG) boys’ team, producing such athletes as former Nebraska All-Americans Dusty Jakub, Blake Bukacek, Derek Leiter, Ryan McEwen, Burkett Powell and Jason Christie.

NSG athletes have competed in the Junior Pan American Games, Junior Olympic Nationals, Olympic Festival and have traveled abroad for various competitions (Junior Pacific Alliance Championships and USA vs. Canada).

After completing his eligibility at NU, Chmelka was a volunteer assistant coach while finishing his bachelor’s degree in community health, which he earned in 1982. In 1988, Chmelka added a bachelor’s degree in education.

An Omaha South graduate and product of Omaha Sokol and the legendary Phil Cahoy Sr., Chmelka was a high school and collegiate teammate of Husker Olympians Jim Hartung and Phil Cahoy Jr. Chmelka is married to former Husker gymnast and Lincoln native Kim Grabowski. A four-year letterwinner, Grabowski helped the Huskers win the 1983 Big Eight Championship and was crowned the all-around champion the same year. The couple has one son, Alex, who is an aspiring swimmer and Lincoln East High School attendee.

Jim

Hartung

Assistant Coach • Nebraska (1982) • Tenth Season

Honors & Awards

• Two-Time U.S. Olympian • 1984 Olympic Gold Medalist • Seven-Time NCAA Event Champion • Two-Time NCAA All-Around Champion (1980, 1981) • Three-Time NCAA Still Rings Champion (1980, 1981, 1982) • Two-Time NCAA Parallel Bars Champion (1981, 1982) • 22 All-America Awards • U.S. National Team Visitation Coach One of gymnastics’ most highly decorated individuals, Jim Hartung has dedicated his life to bettering the sport he loves. Over the last 30 years, Hartung has worked in all aspects of the gymnastics community from competing to judging and now coaching, and has earned a level of success paralleled by few in his field.

A product of the prestigious Omaha Sokol gymnastics club, Hartung came to Nebraska as a freshman gymnast in 1979 and made an outstanding debut on the collegiate scene under then-head coach Francis Allen.

Hartung captured All-America honors on five of six events during his freshman season and went on to amass a total of 22 All-America awards and seven NCAA individual titles over the

next three years. Hartung’s accomplishments included a pair of NCAA all-around titles in 1980 and 1981. He is one of only 13 men in history to claim two NCAA all-around titles and one of only 11 to accomplish the feat in back-to-back seasons.

He also took home three straight NCAA still rings crowns from 1980 to 1982 and added a pair of parallel bars titles in 1981 and 1982.

Hartung led the Huskers to their first four NCAA team titles and captured Nebraska’s first Nissen-Emery Award winner in 1982.

The Omaha native finished his collegiate career as the most highly decorated gymnast in Nebraska history. He still owns the program’s allaround record (58.55), which he earned in 1981.

His tremendous collegiate career led Hartung to the Olympics before he even had a diploma in hand, as he was first selected to the U.S. team in 1980.

Hartung repeated the honor in 1984 after graduating from NU and helped the United States to its first and only team gold medal at the summer games in Los Angeles, Calif.

After competing in the Olympics as an athlete, Hartung went on to spend nearly a decade as a visitation coach for the U.S. national team and became one of the top 10 gymnastics judges in the world.

In his first year with the Huskers in 2006, Hartung made an immediate impact. His handson work ethic and knowledge of gymnastics technique brought a new level of training to the Nebraska gymnastics program.

Hartung has four children, Jim, Nick, Jake and Hannah.

John

Robinson

Assistant Coach • Nebraska (2010) • Fifth Season

Honors & Awards • NCAA All-Around Competitor • Winter Cup Finalist (2010) • Nebraska’s Hartung Award Winner (2010) • Nebraska’s Most Inspirational Gymnast (2009) • Nebraska’s Most Improved Gymnast (2008) • Four-Time Nebraska Letterman • Six-Time Junior Olympic National Qualifier • Three-Time North Carolina State Champion John Robinson enters his fifth season as a Nebraska assistant coach in 2015 after helping the Huskers to a trio of top-10 NCAA finishes.

Robinson handles much of the team’s recruiting, marketing, fundraising and program development. His coaching methodology focuses on structured design plans and setting up competition environments in practice. In his four years of collegiate coaching experience, Robinson has helped produce many of the program’s top gymnasts in recent years, including All-Americans Wyatt Aycock and Grant Perdue, and 2014 Big Ten still rings medalist Robbie Kocks. Within the next few years, Robinson hopes to help Nebraska bring back the national title and continue to build on the program’s tradition of excellence.

A former Husker gymnast, Robinson competed in the all-around for three of his four seasons at Nebraska. He was a four-year letterman at NU from 2007 through 2010.

“John brings a ton of enthusiasm and a positive work ethic to our coaching staff,” Coach Chuck Chmelka said. “We are very excited to have him at Nebraska.”

A native of North Carolina, Robinson was a Husker leader for four seasons. As a senior, Robinson was named Nebraska’s Hartung Award winner. As a senior, he earned a spot in the finals at the 2010 Winter Cup—only the second Husker

ever to do so. He was also the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Gymnast of the Week on Feb. 2, 2010, after earning the individual all-around title against Minnesota and Air Force on Jan. 30.

However, his senior season was cut short by a hand injury.

Robinson competed as an all-arounder at the 2008 NCAA Championships, before earning Nebraska’s Most Improved Gymnast Award as a sophomore.

In his first season at Nebraska in 2007, Robinson competed in every meet, including the NCAA Qualifier. He came to Nebraska as a product of Weyandt’s Gymnastics Academy in Charlotte, N.C. He was a six-time Junior Olympic national qualifier and a three-time North Carolina state champion.

Robinson earned his bachelor’s degree in marketing from Nebraska in 2010. He looks to continue his career in coaching and aspires to break into the international coaching scene.

Shawn

Eichorst

Director of Athletics • Wisconsin-Whitewater (1990) • Third Season

Shawn Eichorst was named Nebraska’s 14th Director of Athletics on Oct. 4, 2012, by Chancellor Harvey Perlman.

Eichorst leads a tradition-rich athletic program of 24 varsity intercollegiate teams, 600-plus student-athletes and more than 275 full-time employees. Nebraska’s reputation as a world-class academic institution and its stature as one of the strongest and most balanced athletic departments in collegiate athletics supports Eichorst’s top priority, which is to ensure all Husker student-athletes have the necessary support to succeed in academics, athletics and life.

Since taking over for the legendary Tom Osborne as Director of Athletics on Jan. 3, 2013, Eichorst has immersed himself in Nebraska’s rich traditions. He has made nearly 300 public appearances, including nearly 200 speaking engagements in Nebraska. He serves on the Chancellor’s Senior Administrative Team and regularly meets with campus administrators and deans. Eichorst’s monthly radio show and Connecting on Campus column promote the university’s academic and athletic successes, along with the academic and community achievements of Husker student-athletes.

Eichorst was also the first Director of Athletics to visit the Big Ten-based Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC) at its Champaign, Ill., headquarters. The CIC is a highly successful academic-based consortium of 15 schools, including all 14 in the Big Ten Conference. Nebraska is leading the Big Ten and the CIC in several areas, including the Digital Humanities and head injury research.

Under Eichorst’s watch, Nebraska extended its nationleading total of CoSIDA Academic All-Americans to 314, including seven in 2013-14. NU also increased its nationleading total to 17 NCAA Top Ten Award winners, as Mary Weatherholt (women’s tennis) earned the honor in 2014. A total of 279 Huskers were honored at the Student-Athlete Recognition Banquet, and 208 Husker student-athletes earned Academic All-Big Ten honors in 2013-14, an increase of 20 from 2012-13.

In 2013-14, Nebraska became one of only two NCAA institutions – and the first Big Ten program in history – to qualify for a football bowl game, and advance to NCAA postseason in the major team sports of volleyball, soccer, men’s and women’s basketball, baseball and softball.

Nebraska was the only institution to win a postseason game in six of those seven sports.

The Nebraska football team completed its sixth straight nine-win season, while playing in its third consecutive New Year’s Day bowl game, a win over Georgia. The volleyball team advanced to the NCAA Elite Eight in its first season at the Bob Devaney Sports Center. The Husker soccer team qualified for the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2005, and advanced to the second round after winning Big Ten regular-season and tournament titles.

The women’s basketball team captured Nebraska’s firstever conference tournament title while earning an NCAA Tournament win for the second straight year. The Huskers also hosted an NCAA Regional at Pinnacle Bank Arena – the first time since 1993 that NCAA Tournament basketball

came to Lincoln. The men’s basketball team earned Nebraska’s first trip to the NCAA Tournament since 1998, following a top-four Big Ten finish. The men’s and women’s basketball teams qualified for the NCAA Tournament in the same season for the first time since 1998.

The bowling team earned an NCAA runner-up finish, and the rifle team finished fifth at the NCAA Championships.

The women’s gymnastics program made the NCAA Super Six and earned a share of the Big Ten title. The men’s gymnastics team added an eighth-place NCAA finish, while the wrestling team claimed 11th at nationals - its top showing at the NCAA Championships since 2009.

The softball team shared the Big Ten regular-season title and advanced to an NCAA Super Regional for the second straight season. The baseball team earned its first NCAA Tournament bid since 2008. It marked the first time in school history the baseball and men’s basketball teams advanced to the NCAA Tournament in the same season.

The men’s track and field team finished 12th at the NCAA Outdoor Championships, after finishing 17th at the indoor meet. The women added a 19th-place finish at the NCAA Outdoor Championships.

The Huskers produced 42 All-Americans who won 51 awards, including 29 first-team honors - NU’s highest All-America totals in more than a decade.

Nebraska ranked in the top 20 nationally in attendance in football (90,933, 9th), volleyball (8,175, 1st), men’s basketball (15,419, 13th), women’s basketball (6,161, 11th), baseball (3,241, 15th) and softball (963) in 2013-14.

NU’s football, men’s basketball and volleyball attendances were all school records, and the Huskers extended NCAArecord home sellout streaks in both football (333) and volleyball (200).

Nebraska is focusing on improving the game-day atmosphere at every venue, including a $12.3 million upgrade of its wireless networks in and around Memorial Stadium in 2014. It is the largest wireless network system installation at a college stadium in history. The upgrade includes a new sound system, IPTV system installation and innovative smartphone applications.

In the summer of 2013, Memorial Stadium expansion increased capacity while adding the innovative Nebraska Athletic Performance Laboratory (NAPL) inside East Stadium next to the Center for Brain, Biology and Behavior (CB3). The men’s and women’s basketball teams became the primary tenants at Pinnacle Bank Arena, and the renovated Devaney Center became the home of the Husker volleyball, wrestling and men’s and women’s gymnastics programs.

The next major facility project is a world-class, $20.4 million Nebraska Soccer and Tennis Complex, located just north of the Devaney Center and Innovation Campus.

When completed in 2015, the facilities will rank among the best in the Big Ten. Eichorst came to Nebraska after serving as Director of Athletics at Miami in 2011 and 2012. During his tenure, Eichorst helped grow the academic reputation of an already sterling program with NCAA Top 10 recognition in Academic Progress Rates (APR) for five programs – football, baseball, men’s diving, women’s cross country and women’s golf. Miami’s Hurricane Club grew to more than 5,000 nationwide. A total of $19 million in student-athlete support was generated in 2011-12, and $14.2 million in capital gifts was raised for the Center for Athletic Excellence.

Eichorst hired legendary men’s basketball coach Jim Larrañaga, and the Hurricanes advanced to the NIT second round. The women’s basketball program posted the highest national ranking in school history (No. 5) and advanced to the NCAA second round. The women’s tennis team advanced to the NCAA Elite Eight for the fourth straight season, and the baseball team made its 40th consecutive

NCAA appearance. The women’s soccer team posted the first NCAA Tournament win in history, and the volleyball team made its third straight NCAA Tournament trip.

Before heading to Miami, Eichorst was the Deputy Athletics Director at Wisconsin from 2009 to 2011. He was the Chief Operating Officer and oversaw the day-to-day operations (23 intercollegiate programs, 850 studentathletes, 320 full-time employees) under Director of Athletics and former Husker Barry Alvarez. Eichorst was involved in the design and planning of a new ice hockey and swimming facility, and the Student-Athlete Performance Center at Camp Randall Stadium.

At South Carolina, Eichorst oversaw daily operations of the department and supervised Lou Holtz’s and Steve Spurrier’s football programs and Ray Tanner’s baseball program. The football team was bowl-eligible each season, and the baseball team competed in the 2004 College World Series. Additionally, he coordinated and supervised multi-million dollar facility projects, including a football training facility.

From 1999 to 2003, Eichorst served as the Director of Athletics at Wisconsin-Whitewater, which produced four top 10 percent NACDA Directors Cup finishes, one NCAA team title, two NCAA runner-up finishes and five individual national champions. The program also featured 11 CoSIDA Academic All-America selections, seven NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship winners and 74 All-Americans.

A native of Lone Rock, Wis., Eichorst was an allconference defensive back, three-time letterwinner and 1990 football team captain for Wisconsin-Whitewater.

He graduated magna cum laude in business from UWWhitewater in 1990 and earned a law degree from Marquette in 1995. He practiced law in Milwaukee until 1999. He is a past member of the NCAA Division I StudentAthlete Reinstatement Committee and the State Bar of Wisconsin Board of Governors. He previously served as an assistant adjunct professor of law at Marquette Law School, where he taught classes in sports law.

2014 SEASON IN REVIEW

ROBBIE KOCKS 2014 BIG TEN STILL RINGS MEDALIST

Nebraska Earns Best Finish Since 1999 at NCAA Championships

Wyatt Aycock earned back-to-back All-America honors in the all-around, the first Husker to do so since 1995.

Despite suffering numerous injuries, Nebraska ended the season strong with its fifth consecutive top-10 finish at the 2014 NCAA Championships.

Head Coach Chuck Chmelka didn’t like the lingering injuries and illnesses the team faced from the beginning of the season, noting that several times he worried whether the Huskers would have enough competitors to put up on each event. Yet Chmelka had faith in his team to battle until the end. The resilience of the healthy competitors and the courage of the newcomers to step up into some major roles helped lead the Huskers a step higher in the postseason.

“The guys never gave up,” Chmelka said. “They knew what they could do. I’m really proud of that. They all did a fantastic job and the coaching staff did a fantastic job as well.”

NU claimed its fifth consecutive top-10 finish under Chmelka at the 2014 NCAA Championships in Ann Arbor, Mich. The team rallied to earn eighth place overall, the program’s highest national finish since 1999.

The junior and senior classes paved the way in all six events, with added support from some key newcomers to help fill in the gaps.

Senior Wyatt Aycock claimed All-America honors in the all-around for the second year in a row, the first Husker to do so since Richard Grace earned the honors in 1994 and 1995. The Orlando, Fla., native finished eighth overall with

a score of 85.500 and completed his career at Nebraska on a high note.

“Wyatt has done a great job for us during his time here,” Chmelka said. “He is great leader as far as hitting routines and scoring points for Nebraska. He’s one of those guys where at the end of the year when you have it all on the line, he’s a monster. He’ll hit, fight and claw his way to the top. And that’s exactly what he did.”

A total of four Huskers qualified into the individual event semifinals on the second night of competition. Sophomore Ethan Lottman qualified on pommel horse, seniors Louis Klein and Eric Schryver qualified for the high bar and junior Grant Perdue qualified on both vault and floor. Perdue went on to compete in the finals on both events, coming up just shy of earning All-America honors.

The Huskers also saw postseason success at the 2014 Big Ten Championships held at the Devaney Center. Junior Robbie Kocks qualified to the individual event finals and earned bronze on rings, the first Big Ten medal of his career.

The Lawrenceville, Ga., native notched a 15.60 and set the school record on the event. Kocks also earned second-team All-Big Ten honors for the first time.

“Robbie started out as a walk-on for us and didn’t see much action in his first couple years here,” Chmelka said. “But I’m awfully proud of how far he has come. He’s a total team guy. He never gave up and kept on improving in and out

of the gym. And it certainly has paid off.”

The Huskers saw consistency in senior Eric Schryver throughout the 2014 season. The Richardson, Texas, native earned a personal best score on high bar and continued to provide solid scores on multiple events. Outside of the gym, Schryver excelled in the classroom.

Alongside earning a spot on the 2014 CoSIDA Academic-All District Seven Team, Schryver became a 2014 NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship winner, the first Husker gymnast to be awarded the honor since 2008.

“I’m extremely proud of Eric,” Chmelka said.

“I don’t think he missed a meet for us in all four years. Outside of the gym, he did everything right. We would not be where we are today in Life Skills, academics and our team placement without him. It was a true honor to have him on our team.”

Redshirt freshman Austin Epperson got his first taste of collegiate competition and helped the Huskers in four events throughout the regular season. Behind Aycock, Epperson was NU’s highest contributing point scorer and one of the team’s most consistent competitors.

“Austin had a fantastic year after coming off of the risky surgery on his wrist,” Chmelka said.

“He didn’t compete for nearly two years due to injuries. But for him to come out and have the year he had, with the confidence and strength he has built, there is just no limit for him.”

Freshman Travis Gollott came out with a

Aycock Leads Huskers as All-Around All-American bang in his collegiate gymnastics debut. The Livermore, Calif., native was a key force on floor, pommel horse and vault over the course of the season for the Huskers. Gollott also stepped up in some crucial roles on parallel bars toward the end of the season as the team battled lingering injuries.

“Travis really came through as a freshman,” Chmelka said. “He did a very good job coming in and stepping up in multiple events for us. I think his future here looks extremely bright.”

The remainder of the 2014 season lineups were made up of numerous competitors across all classes for Nebraska. Seniors Donovan Arndt (rings), Zach Hedval (rings), Andrew House (floor, pommel horse) and C.J. Schaaf (pommel horse, vault) provided senior leadership in four events throughout 2014. All four competed in every meet throughout the regular season, with three setting personal best scores on one or more events.

Juniors Louis Klein (parallel bars, high bar) and Josh Ungar (floor, vault, high bar) added key performances to the lineups. Klein continued in his role in the high bar lineup, competing on the event in every meet of the season and earning consistent scores throughout.

Sophomores Sam Chamberlain (vault, parallel bars) and Ethan Lottman (floor, pommel horse, high bar) provided depth in the 2014 lineups for NU. A returning All-American, Chamberlain led the parallel bars lineup by tying his careerhigh score of 15.10 on Senior Night. Lottman set the pace for the Huskers on pommel horse throughout the 2014 season. He set a personalbest score of 15.30 at the 2014 NCAA Team Qualifiers, qualifying to the individual event finals on horse.

Freshman Antonio Castro (floor, pommel horse, vault, high bar) rounded out the regularseason lineup in 2014. The Pinecrest, Fla., native got his first taste of collegiate competition, consistently making the high bar team in every regular-season meet.

Senior Mark Ringle anticipated leading the team on some key events for Nebraska in 2014, but came up short after suffering a seasonending broken wrist during the team’s annual intrasquad meet. Though he finished his career with an injury, the San Ramon, Calif., native provided encouragement and support for the team both in the gym and in the classroom.

“Losing Mark to a horrible injury was a big blow for us,” Chmelka said. “But he never got down on himself. Even after all he went through, he continued to be a huge supporter and cheerleader for the rest of the guys on the team. He is a really special guy.”

The Huskers began the season early at the Rocky Mountain Open in Colorado Springs, Colo., on Jan. 11. The team grabbed second place against four other competing teams, being edged out slightly by Oklahoma. NU finished with an overall team score of 423.700.

The team returned to Lincoln for the first home meet of the season against Air Force on Jan. 25 at the Devaney Center. NU battled to a win with a 420.650.

The Huskers followed the first home meet

with five consecutive meets on the road. On Feb. 1, they journeyed to Minneapolis, Minn., for a triangular meet against Minnesota and Illinois. The team finished third in their third meet of the season, ending with a team score of 420.700.

NU then traveled to Ann Arbor, Mich. to battle conference foe Michigan on Feb. 8. The Huskers could not overpower the reigning Big Ten and national champions, falling to the Wolverines with a total team score of 416.050.

The team traveled to Iowa City on Feb. 15 in a tri-meet with Minnesota and Iowa. The Huskers finished third with a team total of 418.150.

Kocks shined on rings for NU, tying for the event title with Minnesota’s Steve Jaciuk with a score of 14.85.

After a week of rest, the team ventured back on the road to face off against Michigan, Iowa, Arizona State and Ohio State at the Arnold Classic in Columbus, Ohio on March 1. The Huskers saw success on floor during the meet, paced by Perdue and Gollott. Overall the team finished in fourth place with a score of 424.700, coming in on top of Arizona State.

NU recovered from the tough five-team meet to travel to Norman, Okla., on March 9. The Huskers battled against former Big 12 Conference opponent Oklahoma and placed second, earning a team mark of 422.050.

After five weeks on the road, the Huskers returned home for Senior Night at the Devaney Center on March 15. They fought against Minnesota, Illinois, Iowa and Air Force. The team came in fourth, earning a season-best score of 428.450. The meet honored seniors Donovan Arndt, Wyatt Aycock, Zach Hedval, Mark Ringle, C.J. Schaaf and Eric Schryver as they competed for the final time in front of the home Nebraska crowd.

The Huskers began postseason competition by hosting the Big Ten Championships at the Devaney Center March 28-29, the first conference championship held by Nebraska since 2008. The Huskers posted a 428.150 on the first night of the competition, placing them seventh overall in the team finals. Kocks and Perdue qualified to the individual event finals held on the second night. In the individual event finals, Kocks set a school record on the rings with a score of 15.60, surpassing the mark he set earlier in the season. The score placed him third in the event overall and earned him his first Big Ten medal of his career. Perdue represented the Huskers on floor during night two of the competition. He tallied a mark of 15.05 in the event, earning fifth place.

The Huskers finished out the season at the 2014 NCAA Championships in Ann Arbor, Mich., April 10-12. In the second session of the Team Qualifier competition, NU came in fifth place with a team total of 426.350. NU ended the season eighth overall, the team’s highest placing finish since 1999. Six Huskers moved on to the all-around finals and event semifinals the next night. Perdue then advanced to the individual event finals on vault and floor, but came up just short of earning All-America honors. During the all-around finals, Aycock finished eighth overall

with a mark of 85.500. The score earned him AllAmerica honors in the all-around for the second consecutive year, leading the Huskers to a strong end to the season.

Note: Nebraska participated in the Big Eight Conference before 1995. After Iowa State dropped men’s gymnastics following the 1994 season, the Big Eight Conference opted not to sanction a league championship meet because NU and Oklahoma were the only schools sponsoring a varsity team. NU entered the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation in 1995. The Huskers joined the Big Ten Conference for the 2012 season.

EIGHT-TIME NCAA TEAM CHAMPIONS | HISTORY

56 | nebraska men’s Gymnastics | 2014-15

Nebraska Men’s Gymnastics Championship Tradition College gymnastics’ highest honor, the NissenEmery Award, has been presented annually since 1966 to an outstanding senior collegiate gymnast based on gymnastic achievement, sportsmanship and academic excellence.

The original Nissen Award was named in honor of George Nissen, a former NCAA champion, for his contributions to men’s gymnastics. The award was re-named the Nissen-Emery Award in 1998 to honor Dr. Robert Emery, a Penn State graduate, who won the Nissen Award in 1969.

The “Heisman Trophy” of gymnastics, the NissenEmery Award is inscribed with the following motto: “The true champion seeks excellence physically, mentally, socially and morally.”

Nebraska’s dominance of men’s gymnastics throughout the 1980s is best illustrated by the three Huskers who captured the Nissen Award within a period of seven years.

Tom Schlesinger was the third NU recipient of the Nissen. He won the award in 1988, following former Huskers Jim Hartung (1982) and Wes Suter (1986).

EIGHT-TIME NCAA TEAM CHAMPIONS | HISTORY

58 | nebraska men’s Gymnastics | 2014-15

Nebraska’s Olympians One of the nation’s premier programs, Nebraska has produced nine athletes who have earned 11 U.S. Olympic positions, including a two-time Olympic appearance by current Nebraska assistant coach Jim Hartung. Former Head Coach Francis Allen was also a two-time Olympic team head coach for the 1980 and 1992 teams.

Larry Gerard: 1980

One of three Huskers on the Francis Allen-coached 1980 U.S. Olympic team, Larry Gerard was a seventime NCAA All-American while at Nebraska. In 1979, Gerard finished fifth in the all-around to help Nebraska win its first national championship.
