He was also selected as assistant coach for the 1999 Pan American Games team in Winnipeg, Canada. In 2006, Jepson served as an assistant coach for Team USA at the World Championships and in a meet versus France and Switzerland.

Jepson served as Tan’s personal coach, accompanying him to Beijing, China for the 2008 Summer Games, where he captured a bronze medal in the team competition. Jepson received his master’s degree from Penn State in exercise sport and science, with an emphasis in biomechanics, in 1990.

The Honor Coach Award is bestowed annually to CGA member coaches with 25 years or more of service to the sport of gymnastics. • Junior Miguel Pineda not only excelled in the competition arena but also in the classroom in 2011. A science major, he was honored as the NCAA Elite 88 Award winner and was named to the CoSIDA/Capital One Academic All-America and CGA All-America Scholar Athlete First Teams. In addition, Pineda was a Big Ten Distinguished Scholar Award recipient and earned Academic All-Big Ten honors for the second straight year. • A standout competitive season in 2011 was only surpassed by the team’s performance in the classroom. The Nittany Lions earned the Penn State Varsity “S” Award and boasted 11 CGA All-American Scholar Athletes, nine Academic All-Big Ten honorees, and three Big Ten Distinguished Scholar Award recipients. 2010 • With a multitude of injuries of varying degrees to a host of veterans, Penn State was forced to rely heavily on its talented freshman class in 2010. Of the 452 total routines performed by Nittany Lion gymnasts, 237 were contributed by true freshmen or 52 percent. If sophomores (or gymnasts with two years or fewer of competitive collegiate experience) were included, that number jumps to 327, meaning underclassmen accounted for a remarkable 72 percent of Penn State routines. • The Nittany Lions opened the season by winning their 12th consecutive West Point Open. Penn State also gained a home victory over William & Mary and swept a tri-meet versus Minnesota and Temple at Rec Hall. Penn State established a season-high team score of 354.450 in a home loss to Oklahoma. • Felix Aronovich was named Big Ten Co-Freshman of the Year, becoming the first Nittany Lion to receive the conference award since Mike Dutka in 1997. Aronovich competed in every meet, earning 13 top three finishes, including seven titles. • At the Big Ten Championships, Penn State overtook two higher ranked teams, including host Ohio State, to place a surprising third. Senior Nick Virbitsky earned Second Team All-Big Ten honors, contributing Penn State’s top showing in the individual event finals by placing second in the floor exercise. • In his final performance as a collegiate athlete, senior Noam Shaham finished sixth in the high bar in the individual finals of the National Collegiate Championships to earn his first career All-America honor. • Twelve Nittany Lions, an impressive 60 percent of the 2010 roster, were honored as CGA All-America Scholar Athletes. Nine received first team accolades, including Miguel Pineda and Logan Wyman, who were two of just four gymnasts nationwide to earn perfect 4.0 GPAs, while three were recognized on the second team. In addition, Pineda, Wyman, Noam Shaham and Philip Harris were named Big Ten Distinguished Scholars and eight Nittany Lions received Academic All-Big Ten honors. 2009 • The Nittany Lions began the season by winning their 11th consecutive West Point Open. The 2009 home schedule was highlighted by a 348.900-348.350 victory over Big Ten rival Michigan, which would go on to finish second at the National Collegiate Championships. Penn State established a season-high team score of 356.300 in a loss at Oklahoma. • Casey Sandy penned the final chapter of one of the most storied careers in the vaunted history of Penn State men’s gymnastics with a stellar senior year. He captured 29 titles, including seven in the pommel horse and six in the parallel bars. He tied the single-season conference record by earning five Big Ten Gymnast of the Week awards and shattered the career mark for winning a total of 11 league honors. In the midst of his exceptional senior season, Sandy also was able to further his international gymnastics career by winning the all-around on both days at the Elite Canada 2009 thereby securing himself a roster spot on the Canadian National Team. Sandy’s march towards history and assault on the Penn State record book was slowed only by injury, as he suffered a severe toe sprain at the Big Ten Championships. Refusing to be hindered by the injury, he gutted out a win in the all-around in the qualifier at the National Collegiate Championships. Sandy then went on to earn his eighth and ninth All-America honors of his career with top eight finishes in all-around and vault finals. • Sandy’s brilliant season and exceptional career culminated with him being presented with the 2009 Nissen-Emery Award, becoming Penn State’s NCAA-record sixth recipient of the sport’s most prestigious honor. He was also named Penn State Male Athlete of the Year for the second consecutive time. • Five Nittany Lions (four on the first team) were recognized as All-America Scholar Athletes by the College Gymnastics Association while six received Academic All-Big Ten honors.

Nissen-Emery Award The Nissen-Emery Award is the highest honor in collegiate gymnastics. Awarded in recognition of outstanding athletic achievement, academic excellence and sportsmanship, it is equivalent to college football’s Heisman Trophy. Presented annually to the top collegiate male senior gymnast in the U.S., the award was originally named the Nissen Award after George Nissen, a former NCAA Champion, for his contributions to the sport. In 1997, it was renamed the Nissen-Emery Award in honor of former Penn State gymnast Dr. Robert Emery for his support of the sport. Emery won the award in 1969. Penn State’s six recipients ranks second for the most in the award’s history. The first award was presented in 1966.
