2015-16 NEBRASKA MEN’S GYMNASTICS

NU squad aiming for Best finish in 15 Years With an experienced returning roster and talented newcomers, the Nebraska men’s gymnastics team takes aim at its top finish at nationals in more than a decade in 2016. The team is excited to begin its fifth season in the Big Ten Conference, as it provides challenging matchups for the Huskers. Nebraska hopes to finish the 2016 season in the top seven nationally, executing the program’s highest finish in over 15 years.

Senior Leadership

NU will depend on its four seniors to help lead the team both in the gym and in the classroom. All-American Ethan Lottman, along with Sam Chamberlain and Ryan Irick, all played significant roles in the Huskers’ lineup during the 2015 season. Lottman competed in every meet last season, including the postseason, where he finished fifth on pommel horse. Chamberlain set the program record for highest parallel bars score in 2015 with 15.50. Irick posted personal-best scores on rings and pommel horse last season, and he’ll look to impact the team on those events again in 2016. The trio is joined by Grant Perdue, who saw limited action last season due to an injury, but he is expected to compete on vault, floor and rings. Perdue is a two-time All-American and has his sights set on All-America honors for the third time in his career. The four seniors look to bring the Huskers back to the NCAA Championships in their final season at Nebraska.

Junior Experience

The seniors are joined by four experienced juniors who all competed in the 2015 NCAA Team Qualifier. Austin Epperson became one of Nebraska’s top rings performers in 2015. He also represented the team in the classroom and in the community, earning a spot on the 2015 Tom Osborne Citizenship team and Academic All-Big Ten for the second consecutive year. Travis Gollott emerged as Nebraska’s first all-around competitor since 2014 and competed on floor at the 2015 Big Ten Championships where he placed eighth. He also was named to the Nebraska ScholarAthlete Honor Roll in the spring of 2015. Chris Stephenson had a stellar year in his debut season as a Husker. The Fishers, Ind., native transferred from Air Force after his freshman season, but immediately made an impact for Nebraska as a sophomore. In addition to competing at the 2015 NCAA Team Qualifier, he also performed at the individual competition. He also was a standout in the classroom earning first-team CGA All-America Scholar-Athlete honors in 2015. Coleman Tokar competed regularly for the Huskers on rings, vault and floor, posting careerbest scores on all three events as a sophomore. He also earned the prestigious Nebraska StudentAthlete HERO Leadership Award in 2015 for his leadership and work in the community.

Sophomore Strength

As the biggest class, the sophomores will help fill the void left by the four graduated seniors from last season. Kyle King and Daniel Leal will help lead the sophomore class for the Huskers. Both King and Leal competed at the 2015 NCAA Team Qualifiers as freshmen. Leal claimed individual titles on rings and on parallel bars on Jan. 30. King earned a berth into the 2015 Big Ten Championships event finals where he received the bronze medal for

Senior Ethan Lottman finished fifth on pommel horse at the 2015 NCAA Championships, earning All-America honors, to become Nebraska’s 183rd All-American.

his career best vault performance of 15.10. Alex Magsam posted career-best scores on rings, vault and parallel bars. Additionally, he competed in the 2015 NCAA Team Qualifiers. He also earned first-team CGA All-America Scholar-Athlete honors in 2015. Connor Adamsick competed on floor, pommel horse and vault in his first season at Nebraska and looks to become a key contributor on those events as a sophomore. Adamsick also earned Academic All-Big Ten accolades in 2015. Brenon Sommers will compete for a spot in Nebraska’s rings lineup as a sophomore. He posted a career-best score of 14.05 against Minnesota and Iowa last season. Antonio Castro chose to redshirt last season, but looks for more action for the Huskers this season. Sanjaya Roy did not compete for the Huskers as a freshman, but still contributed. He was named to the Tom Osborne Citizenship Team in 2015 and earned first-team CGA All-America ScholarAthlete honors. Each of the six sophomores made significant impacts in the classroom as well. They each earned spots on the Nebraska Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll for at least one semester last year and expect to continue representing the team in the classroom.

Freshman talent

Five freshmen look to start making an immediate impact on the team. The class includes two redshirts, Joshua Everitt and Andrew Zymball, and three newcomers, Heath Anderson, Anton Stephenson and Jordan King. Everitt and Zymball anticipate making the lineups in 2016, while guiding the remaining freshmen in their first competitive season at Nebraska. The remaining three Huskers consist of high-profile recruits sought after by numerous schools across the country. Heath Anderson, from Mesa, Ariz., participated at the 2014 State Boys Championships and chose Nebraska over Oklahoma. He’ll look to clinch a spot in the Huskers’ still rings lineup in

2016. Jordan King, a Houston, Texas, native was a member of the Cypress Academy of Gymnastics team that took first at the 2015 Junior Olympics National Championships. Additionally, King and Stephenson both represented Nebraska at the P&G Gymnastics Championships. King tied for first on pommel horse and placed second on floor, rings and in all-around competition. Stephenson took first on parallel bars and placed second on vault.

Challenging Schedule

Nebraska begins its season on Jan. 16 when the team travels to Colorado Springs, Colo., to compete at the Rocky Mountain Open, before welcoming Air Force to the Devaney Center on Jan. 23 for the first home meet of the season. The Huskers have a series of away meets that continue into mid-March. NU goes to Minnesota on Jan. 30 for a Big Ten match-up. Then the Huskers battle defending national champion Oklahoma on Feb. 6. The team has a bye week to prepare for the Winter Cup in Las Vegas on Feb. 18 and Feb. 20. On Feb. 27, the Huskers take the short trip to Iowa City to take on the Hawkeyes. NU opens March in Columbus, Ohio, with the Arnold Classic on March 5. Then the team travels to State College, Pa., to compete against Penn State on March 11. On March 20, the Huskers return home to take on Minnesota and Iowa for the final home meet of the season and the final regular-season meet. The 2016 Big Ten Championships will be hosted by Ohio State in Columbus April 1-2. A combination of the team’s regular-season and conference championships performances will determine whether NU qualifies for the NCAA Championships. The 2016 NCAA Championships will also be held in Columbus, Ohio, April 15-16.

2015-16 NEBRASKA MEN’S GYMNASTICS

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.

Chuck Chmelka enters his seventh season as Nebraska’s head coach prepared to lead the Huskers through their fifth season in the Big Ten. In his last five years as NU’s head coach, he has helped produce three 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. In 2015, Chmelka helped the Huskers overcome a number of health issues during the season. Junior Ethan Lottman erupted for a breakout year under Chmelka, earning All-America honors on pommel horse at the NCAA event finals. Lottman also captured the Elite 89 Award and second-team CoSIDA Academic All-America accolades. The Huskers completed the 2014 season strong despite being plagued with injuries early on. Senior Wyatt Aycock led the team in the all-around, earning his second All-America honors in a row. Over the course of the season, a total of 15 Huskers tied or earned new career-highs on individual events. These achievements helped pave the way for NU’s eighthplace finish at the 2014 NCAA Championships, the highest ranking under Chmelka and the program’s best finish 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. These All-America honors 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 All-American Grant Perdue. Historic changes are nothing new to Chmelka. Before the 2010 season, Chmelka replaced legendary NU coach Francis Allen, an 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 top-10 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 competed for Nebraska from 1979 to 1982, earning 22 All-America awards.

One of gymnastics most highly decorated competitors of all time, Jim Hartung enters his 11th season as the Nebraska assistant coach. 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 protégé of the prestigious Omaha Sokol gymnastics club in Omaha, Hartung came to the University of Nebraska as a freshman gymnast in 1979 and made an outstanding debut onto the collegiate scene under head coach Francis Allen. Hartung garnered All-America status 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. His accolades included a pair of all-around titles in 1980 and 1981. Hartung also led the Huskers to their first four NCAA team titles and consequently became 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 and still owns the program’s all-around record of 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 hands-on work ethic and knowledge of gymnastics technique brought a new level of training to the Nebraska gymnastics program. Hartung and his wife Lisa have four children, Jim, Nick, Jake and Hannah.

John Robinson enters his sixth season as a Nebraska assistant coach in 2016 after helping the Huskers to a trio of top-10 NCAA finishes. Robinson handles most 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 five years of collegiate coaching, Robinson has been a key contributor in producing 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 sixtime 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. Robinson is married to former Scarlet, Rachel Russell.

Shawn Eichorst came to the University of Nebraska in 2012 with an incredible passion for the University and for its student-athletes. As the leader of a tradition-rich program with 24 intercollegiate teams, 600-plus studentathletes and more than 300 full-time employees, Eichorst has relied on a strong value system and a student-centered approach to lead the Department. Nebraska’s primary mission is to provide student-athletes with the resources and support they need to be successful in academics, athletics and life. The health, safety and welfare of student-athletes is Nebraska’s top priority and at the essence of every decision made. Nebraska has a history of providing first-class coaches, staff and facilities for its students. Additionally, since Eichorst arrived in Lincoln, resources and services in every student-athlete support unit have been improved and enhanced, including academics, athletic medicine, life skills, nutrition, sports psychology, strength and conditioning and in the Nebraska Athletics Performance Laboratory (NAPL). Eichorst has continued to aggressively move Nebraska forward with several new initiatives to enhance the student-athlete experience. The Department will provide state-of-the-art laptop computers to all student-athletes beginning in the summer of 2015 and the University will now provide four-year, full cost of attendance-based scholarships for all scholarship student-athletes in every sport. Also beginning in the summer of 2015, every Husker letterwinner who graduates and has exhausted his or her eligibility will be provided assistance to either obtain an internship; study abroad or attend graduate or professional school. Eichorst has made more than 350 public appearances around the state, and his monthly radio show and “Connecting on Campus” online column provide the opportunity for him to further connect and share the incredible activities, initiatives and accomplishments that take place at Nebraska. As a member of the Chancellor’s Senior Administrative Team, Eichorst maintains a strong connection and collaboration between the University and Department of Athletics.

Season Outlook (2016)

Grant Perdue will be looked to for leadership as one of four seniors on the team. Despite redshirting in 2015 due to an injury, the two-time All American is expected to bounce back and become a leader again for Nebraska on floor, still rings and vault. In his final season at Nebraska, he hopes to help the team return to the NCAA Championships. Although he didn’t compete much in 2015, Perdue was still able to contribute in the classroom. He was named to the Nebraska-Scholar Athlete Honor Roll for both the fall and spring semesters last year.

Perdue saw little action in his would-be senior campaign after suffering a season-ending knee injury on vault against Stanford, Oklahoma and California on Jan. 24. Perdue took a redshirt for his injury and is returning for his final season in 2016.

In his third season at Nebraska, Perdue continued to be a steady performer on both floor and vault, competing in both events in every regular season meet. He also stepped in as a key still rings performer in four regular-season meets and at the Big Ten Championships and NCAA Team Qualifiers. The two-time All-American added another floor event title to his resume after scoring a solid 15.05 against Air Force on Jan. 25, bringing his total floor event titles to seven.

2015-16 NEBRASKA MEN’S GYMNASTICS

Huskers close 2015 at NCAA Championships

Sam Chamberlain broke the school record at home on parallel bars with a score of 15.50 as a junior. Freshman Kyle King qualified for the event semifinals on vault, earning a respectable 14.80 mark to tie for 18th place. King also made strides at the conference level during the 2015 Big Ten Championships in State College, Pa., where he punched his ticket to the vault and floor event finals. Despite suffering a fall in the floor finals, King excelled in the vault competition to tie for third with a personal-best 15.10, earning him the first Big Ten medal of his career. “Kyle is a seasoned athlete beyond his age,” Chmelka said. “He did so well for us this season and already has a bright future ahead of him.” In addition to King, a program-record four Huskers qualified for the individual event finals on the second night of the Big Ten Championships and provided leadership throughout the season. Senior Andrew House qualified for his first-ever championship finals on pommel horse, where he scored a 14.425 to finish in eighth place on the event. The Houston, Texas, native proved to be one of NU’s most consistent competitors all season long, steadily delivering quality performances on pommel and floor.

Though the Nebraska men’s gymnastics team battled illnesses and injuries, the Huskers competed at the 2015 NCAA Championships. Despite the trials the team faced, Coach Chuck Chmelka said his team fought hard and never gave up. The camaraderie and team effort the Huskers showed all season long, Chmelka said, allowed newcomers to step into some major roles as veterans guided their steps. “We had numerous individual career highs and earned our best hitting percentage in program history,” Chmelka said. “Despite the speed bumps along the way, overall we had an outstanding season.” At the NCAA Championships in Norman, Okla., Chmelka guided the Huskers to their 13th straight postseason appearance. Junior Ethan Lottman led the Big Red in the championship field as he took home his first AllAmerica honors on pommel horse, the first Husker to do so on an individual event since 2013. The Omaha, Neb., native scored a season high-tying 15.10 in the team preliminaries to qualify to the event semifinals the following day. Lottman continued to deliver and posted a score of 14.85 to tie for seventh place, solidifying his spot in the finals. On event finals day, Lottman swung to another quality routine to take fifth overall with a 14.45, earning his status as an All-American. In the classroom, Lottman captured the Elite 89 Award from the NCAA, which honors the student-athlete in each of the 89 NCAA sports with the highest grade-point average while actively participating in the championships. “Ethan had a tremendous season,” Chmelka said. “From being an All-American, to winning the Elite 89 Award and our very own Hartung Award, he really excelled at the right time. We are fortunate to have him for one more season.” In addition to Lottman, four other Huskers earned their way to the NCAA event semifinals on the second night of competition, the second most to represent Nebraska in the Chmelka era. Sophomore Travis Gollott earned a berth into the all-around finals on the second night after competing as an all-arounder in only two previous meets. In the finals, Gollott finished 14th overall with a career-high 84.700, one of his four career-best scores of the night. Senior Louis Klein finished out his collegiate career in the high bar semifinals with a 14.80 to tie for 11th, just one place shy of earning a berth into the event finals. Junior All-American Sam Chamberlain took to the semifinal competition on parallel bars, tying for 20th with a score of 14.35. Sophomore newcomer Chris Stephenson saw action in the floor semifinals, where he posted a 15.05 for 20th overall.

Coleman Tokar competed regularly for the Huskers on floor, rings, vault and high bar, posting careerbest scores on rings (13.85), vault (14.35) and floor (14.75) during the 2015 season.

“Andy truly is an inspiration to many,” Chmelka said. “After sitting out for two straight years with knee injuries and to come back for two years the way he did can’t say enough about the dedication he had. His dependability will definitely be missed.” Despite narrowly missing out on event finals at the NCAA Championships, Klein worked as a vital member of the team’s high bar, vault and parallel bars lineups. The Utica, Mich., native earned a season-high 15.00 at the NCAA preliminaries to punch his ticket to the event semifinals. Klein didn’t miss a single meet and scored a 14.00 or above four times. “Louis is a great talent that we will sure miss,” Chmelka said. “He really matured and became an exceptional young man both in and out of the gym.” Chamberlain continued to prove himself as one of Nebraska’s best parallel bars performers after setting the school record at home on March 15 with a 15.50. His success on the event led him to represent the Huskers as an event finalist at the Big Ten Championships, where he earned a 13.275 despite a fall. In vault finals, Chamberlain stuck a 14.95 for the second night in a row. As a three-event specialist, Chamberlain’s hard work kept him active in the lineups throughout the season. “Sam has been instrumental to our program,” Chmelka said. “Though he was so close to being an All-American again, I can’t wait to see what next year has in store for him.” Gollott trained hard to compete as an allaround competitor toward the end of the season, consistently delivering routines week after week. Gollott earned a spot in the floor finals at the Big Ten Championships, where he overcame a fall to garner a 13.875. Nebraska’s first all-around competitor since Wyatt Aycock in 2014, Gollott was a solid performer on every event for NU. “Travis really matured as a gymnast this season,” Chmelka said. “There is still so much more in store for him in these next couple years.” Classmate Stephenson made a big impact as a three-event specialist, consistently competing as a member of NU’s floor, parallel bars and high bars lineups. Stephenson’s consistency helped him become one of Nebraska’s most reliable members of the team in 2015. On floor, the Fishers, Ind., native competed in all but one regular-season meet and posted scores of 15.00 or better three times. “Chris went from competing in only one meet last year to competing on multiple events every meet this year,” Chmelka said. “We are so happy he decided to be a part of our program.” Fellow sophomore Austin Epperson maintained important positions in Nebraska’s rings and high bar lineups in 2015, stepping up as one of NU’s most valuable rings performers. He scored a 14.00 or better in all but one meet on the event, while also leading NU in the classroom and the community. “Austin just keeps getting better,” Chmelka said. “If he continues to work hard and push himself, he will do some really great things.” Junior Ryan Irick came back to a strong 2015 season after being plagued with injuries as a sophomore. He consistently put up scores on pommel horse and rings while also leading the Big Red in the classroom, being named a Big Ten Distinguished Scholar after 2014. “Ryan had a great year,” Chmelka said. “It was so good to see him out there competing for us again.” Freshman Daniel Leal had a breakout year in his first season with the Huskers, despite undergoing gallbladder surgery midway through the season. He competed in five out of the six events over the course of the season, with major contributions on rings and parallel bars.

Austin Epperson emerged as Nebraska’s most valuable rings performer in 2015, competing in six regularseason meets for the Huskers. He set a personal best at the Big Ten Championships with a score of 14.75. “Daniel is another one who is mature for his age,” Chmelka said. “Even with his setback, he truly competed like a champion. The future is so bright for him.” The rest of Nebraska’s 2015 lineups came from contributors across all classes. Seniors Josh Ungar (vault) and Robbie Kocks (rings) provided key leadership to the underclassmen in 2015 after suffering from illnesses and injuries during the season. The pair each competed in two meets to close out their successful Husker careers. Sophomore Coleman Tokar made great strides as a three-event specialist on floor, rings and high bar for the Huskers, delivering quality routines throughout. Freshmen Connor Adamsick (vault), Brenon Sommers (rings) and Alex Magsam (rings, parallel bars) opened up their Husker careers with flare, together making up nearly a large portion of the lineups in 2015. Senior Grant Perdue anticipated seeking AllAmerica honors to add to his list in 2015, but his efforts were put on hold due to an ACL injury suffered in the second meet of the season. The Houston, Texas, native provided encouragement both in and out of the gym and will use a medical redshirt to return as a fifth-year senior in 2016. “Losing Grant was unfortunate for us,” Chmelka said. “But we are sure glad we will have him back next year. He has been rehabbing like crazy, and I know he will come back as good as new for 2016.” Though freshmen Sanjaya Roy, Josh Everitt and Andrew Zymball did not see any action in 2015, they spent their time training and improving their skills in hopes of making an appearance in the 2016 lineups. The Huskers began the 2015 season at the Rocky Mountain Open in Colorado Springs, Colo., Jan. 11. The team came out of the gate strong to post a 420.150 after being edged by winner Oklahoma and second-place Air Force. NU next traveled to Palo Alto, Calif., for a quadrangular featuring Oklahoma, California and host Stanford Jan. 24. After having to count falls on pommel horse and losing Perdue to injury, the Huskers finished fourth with a 418.050. The team returned to Lincoln for the first home meet of the 2015 season against Army. NU rallied its way to victory after setting numerous career highs and finished on top with a 421.750. King was the floor champion, Lottman took the pommel horse crown, while Leal finished first on rings and parallel bars. Nebraska then began a three-meet stretch on the road, first to a triangular featuring Minnesota and the

University of Illinois-Chicago in Minneapolis, Minn. on Feb. 7. The Huskers saw success by capturing four of six event titles, as the team finished in second with a 422.050. Continuing on the road, the team made its way to Iowa City, Iowa, for a Big Ten matchup against Minnesota and host Iowa on Feb. 14. Despite a tough pommel horse rotation, the Huskers finished strong to place third with a 420.250 team score. As the team had a two-week break from NCAA competition, King went on to compete in the prestigious Winter Cup Challenge Feb. 19-21. By invitation only, King competed on vault, floor and parallel bars, finishing third on vault with a 15.10 the first day. His scores earned him a spot in the finals the following day, where he took ninth overall on vault with a combined two-day total of 29.95. After another week off, the Huskers returned to competition on the road for a dual with Illinois in Champaign, Ill., on March 8. The team put together a series of seamless performances on floor to boost the team’s score, but fell just short to the Illini 436.700423.450. Nebraska rebounded at home after a long stint on the road to host Senior Night on March 15, welcoming Big Ten foes Iowa, Minnesota and Penn State. NU posted its best team score of the season with a 426.050, placing fourth overall. Nebraska honored seniors House, Klein, Kocks and Ungar for their contributions to the program, as Klein closed out the exciting night with a proposal to his girlfriend. With a week of rest, Nebraska opened up the postseason at the Big Ten Championships in State College, Pa., March 27-28. The Huskers overcame some uncharacteristic mistakes to take seventh with a score of 420.100 in the team competition. Chamberlain, Gollott, House and King each punched their ticket to the event finals the following day, where King took the podium for third on vault with a 15.10. His performance earned him the first Big Ten medal of his career. House finished eighth on pommel horse with a 14.425, while Chamberlain took seventh on vault with a 14.95. The Huskers brought the season to a close at the 2015 NCAA Championships in Norman, Okla., April 9-11. Five Huskers advanced to the all-around finals and event semifinals on the second night of competition. Lottman then moved on as the sole athlete for Nebraska to be represented in the event finals, where he took fifth on pommel horse with a 14.45 and earned his first All-America award.

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.

2015-16 NEBRASKA MEN’S GYMNASTICS

Nebraska 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).

2015-16 NEBRASKA MEN’S GYMNASTICS

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.

Kevin Davis: 1988 A member of the 1988 U.S. Olympic team, Kevin Davis was a seven-time NCAA All-American for the Huskers. Davis was a two-time NCAA champion, winning parallel bars titles in 1987 and 1988. He helped NU to the 1988 national title, finishing third in the all-around.

Jim Hartung: 1980, 1984 A two-time Olympian, Jim Hartung helped the 1984 U.S. squad to the gold medal. It marked the only time in Olympic history that the U.S. men have claimed the team gold medal. A 22-time NCAA All-American and seven-time NCAA champion, Hartung won NCAA allaround titles in 1980 and 1981, was second in 1982 and third in 1979. In addition, Hartung won three straight NCAA still rings titles (1980-82) and backto-back NCAA parallel bars crowns (1981-82). As a freshman in 1979, Hartung led NU to its first national championship. During his Husker career, Hartung guided NU to four straight national championships. An Omaha native and South High School graduate, Hartung was a product of the Cahoy School of Gymnastics. In 1982, Hartung became NU’s first Nissen Award winner.

Jim Mikus: 1984

Tom Schlesinger: 1988

“In college athletics, it's all about relationships... College athletics is different than the pros. We all have individual goals, but you will never be part of a closer-knit team than you will in college. It’s the best thing I can say about college sports. It teaches you to count on other people and teaches other people to count on you. Your growth comes from the pursuits you share, put together and achieve.” Jim Hartung, Olympic Gold Medalist Seven-time NCAA Champion 2015 Nebraska Athletics Hall of Fame Inductee The athletic academic unit, located in the Dick and Peg Herman Family Student Life Complex, provides personal and academic support to ensure that student-athletes will get the most out of their years as Huskers. Featuring one of the most innovative and comprehensive academic support systems in the country, Nebraska is dedicated to helping its student-athletes become outstanding leaders in their chosen fields. The academic support team is composed of 14 full-time staff members and is certified by the National Association of Academic Advisors for Athletics (N4A) as meeting the standards established by the N4A.

Academic Counseling

Seven academic counselors, three learning specialists and two assistant academic counselors are in place to monitor daily academic progress, receive consistent course feedback, assist with the advising/registration process and monitor continuing eligibility and progress toward graduation.

Tutorial Support

A tremendous resource for all academic abilities, unlimited tutorial support from approximately 120 tutors on staff is available from day one up to college graduation in all subject areas. The tutorial program is certified as a model tutoring program by the College Reading and Learning Association.

Study Hall

Nebraska’s study hall program is housed in the D.J. Sokol Enrichment Center within the Student Life Complex. Student-athletes attend a supervised, flex-time study hall that features day, evening and weekend hours. Student-athletes are required to complete a specific number of study hours each week as determined by their academic counselor and/or coach. Additional performance-based or tutor-based study hall also may be determined by the academic counselor.

Mentoring

Academic support staff serve as mentors to all incoming student-athletes and a select group of returning student-athletes. Student-athletes meet with their mentor weekly to develop time management skills, gather and report academic progress information, and discuss academic success strategies.

Educational Assessments

Assessments are administered upon the request of the student-athlete, academic counselor, or coach. Learning specialists are available to administer and score informal assessments, which include a reading comprehension and a writing assessment. When more in-depth assessments are necessary, referrals are made to a consulting psychologist who conducts the assessments. If it is determined a student-athlete has a learning disability or another medical condition that impedes the student from reaching their academic potential, appropriate accommodations are implemented by the Office of Services for Students with Disabilities.

Student-Athlete Orientation

Each new student-athlete attends an orientation at the beginning of their academic career. Student-athletes are introduced to staff, faculty, administrators, and a variety of resources that help facilitate the transition into college while enhancing awareness of support services in the Athletic Department and across campus.

Personal Counseling

Student-athletes will find a supportive and caring environment at Nebraska. Transitional issues, stress management, time management, academic focus and problem resolution are all addressed in a proactive manner throughout the year. If necessary, counseling referrals are also made to designated practitioners.

Computer Resources

The Herman Student Life Complex has two computer labs available for student-athletes. The Scott Technology Center features two tech tables for use on group computer projects and group study sessions. Additionally, each student-athlete is provided a laptop for use throughout their academic career at Nebraska. Construction was completed in the fall of 2010 on the Nebraska Student Life Complex, which nearly tripled the size of NU’s previous academic space. The Dick and Peg Herman Family Student Life Complex also features a new technology center and a dedicated Life Skills area and the Papik Computer lab (left).

STUDENT-ATHLETE LIFE Nebraska Athletics is one of the few self-sustaining intercollegiate athletic programs in the country. Nebraska is a leader in providing all the resources and support necessary for student-athletes to become successful in Academics, Athletics and Life. Nebraska will continue to strategically plan for avenues to strengthen the resources to support more than 600 Husker student-athletes.

Red Carpet Experience

The 2015 Nebraska men's gymnastics team posed together after receiving the Life Skills Team Award of Exellence at Nebraska's annual academic and life skills awards banquet in April. The award is given annually to one men's and women's team for demonstrating exceptional leadership and service to the community. In August of 2014, the NCAA Division I Board of Directors restructured the way member institutions and conferences govern themselves. Nebraska has a great history and tradition of providing first-class benefits and support to its student-athletes. The change in governance, and subsequent legislation, has paved the way for Nebraska to enhance the benefits and experiences for student-athletes even more. A few examples of these enhanced benefits are: • All scholarship student-athletes across all sports will have their scholarship calculated based on the full cost of attendance. •

Every student-athlete will receive an Apple MacBook Air laptop computer to enhance their learning opportunities.

•

Nebraska has increased resources and support in all academic and performancerelated areas including Academic Services, Life Skills, Athletic Medicine, Athletic Training, Strength and Conditioning, Nutrition and Dining Services.

BIG TEN CONTINUES TO EXPAND NATIONAL REACH

On July 1, 2011, the University of Nebraska became an official member of the Big Ten Conference, increasing the Big Ten’s membership to 12 institutions for the first time in conference history. The addition of Nebraska marked the Big Ten’s first expansion since Penn State joined the conference in June of 1990. The nation’s oldest conference continued to grow with the addition of Maryland and Rutgers in the summer of 2014.
