season preview

After having one of the most successful seasons in school history, the University of Iowa men’s gymnastics team has the same high expectations, but this year it is about achieving more. Fourth-year head coach JD Reive and the Hawkeyes took sixth place at the Big Ten Championships, finished fifth at the NCAA Championships, and had two gymnasts -- Javier Balboa and Anton Gryshayev -- earn All-America honors last season. Reive is proud of Iowa’s 2013 accomplishments, but not satisfied, as he has greater expectations for his 2014 squad.

“We will be looking to returning All-American, redshirt senior, and co-caption Matt McGrath. He brings a significant amount of gymnastics and a warrior work ethic to the gym. As a four-event athlete, Matt will get a good deal of additional leadership support from all-around performers Lance Alberhasky and Jack Boyle.” The Hawkeyes return 11 letterwinners and McGrath, who did not compete last season after using a medical redshirt. All returnees and newcomers did not take the offseason lightly as they continued to compete, train, and develop in the summer. Reive feels that the team has benefited from the offseason events that his athletes participated in. “Our sport is unique in how disproportionate our training needs are in regards to NCAA competition,” Reive said. “A successful and competitive summer season is crucial for the program to continue moving forward. “Whether it was the U.S. National Championships or the World University Games, having Iowa gymnasts competing with the best gymnastics in the world has brought a new level of intensity and desire to the fall semester. It has had an impact on our training environment and our recruiting prowess.”

“Our roster has undergone significant changes,” said Reive. “We are very bottom heavy with a young group of underclassmen having to come in accepting a great deal of responsibility.

While losing a pair of All-Americans could be detrimental to a team, Reive is confident, not only in his upperclassmen, but his entire roster.

Last season’s team had a senior class that was the core of its success. Both Balboa and Gryshayev earned All-America honors in still rings, and Broderick Shemansky earned first-team All-Big Ten recognition. With the graduation of four seniors, the Hawkeyes will rely on its whole roster with significant competition experience.

“The team and I are on the same page this year,” Reive said. “We have set our sights on the podium in 2014. Our postseason goals are clear; translate a top three finish at the Big Ten Championships into a position to achieve a top three finish at the NCAA Championships. Based on the strength of our conference, these goals are inextricably tied.”

season preview

While Iowa relied heavily on its upperclassmen in the past and needed high scores to be successful, this year’s upperclassmen are being pushed by the newcomers. The Hawkeyes have 12 underclassmen, six of which are freshmen that add depth to the very promising Hawkeye group. Although these freshmen are unfamiliar to the college competition, Reive expects nothing but the best from all of the team’s newcomers. “I expect an immediate impact from freshmen Cory Paterson and Andrew Botto,” he said. “Both come in with national and international competitive experience and a hunger to learn. The entire class is the most driven I have brought in at Iowa, and I expect noticeable growth and accomplishment in this group for years to come.”

head coach fourth season nebraska, 2000

The University of Iowa men’s gymnastics team completed its most successful season in nearly a decade under third-year head coach JD Reive in 2013. The Hawkeyes finished fifth nationally, marking the program’s best finish since 2000, and finished with three All-America honors, the most since 2005. The fifth-place finish marked the third-best of any Big Ten school in 2013.

jd reive

Iowa finished the 2013 season with three All-America honors -- marking the first time since 2005 the program has garnered three or more in a single season. The Hawkeyes captured three-straight Big Ten dual victories against top-10 opponents in February -- defending national champion Illinois, Minnesota and Nebraska. In addition, Balboa, the Big Ten still rings champion, and Broderick Shemansky, both earned All-Big Ten honors. Three Hawkeyes -- Balboa, McGrath, Todd Becker -- earned Academic All-Big Ten accolades. Balboa was honored by the Big Ten Conference with the Distinguished Scholar Award. In 2012, Reive guided three Hawkeyes (Javier Balboa, Broderick Shemansky, Anton Gryshayev) to the NCAA Championships in Norman, Okla. He coached junior Broderick Shemansky to first team All-Big Ten honors as the Hawkeyes hosted the Big Ten Championships at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Gryshayev also earned Big Ten Gymnast of the Week honors (March 26), becoming the first Hawkeye to garner the weekly award since 2009.

During the opening day of the NCAA Championships at Rec Hall in University Park, Pa., the Hawkeyes finished third in the second session of the NCAA National Qualifier. Their score of 426.550 earned them a berth in the team finals, marking the first time Iowa qualified for the team finals since 2006. The top three teams from each session (12 teams total) advanced to the team finals.

As a team, Iowa was one of 12 squads selected to compete at the 2012 National Collegiate Men’s Gymnastics National Qualifier. Iowa broke four more individual school records and six Hawkeyes (Javier Balboa, Todd Becker, Angelo Bronzino, Matt McGrath, Adam Wilson, Samuel Wright) were named Academic All-Big Ten during his second season at the helm of the program. The six academic honorees marked the most for the program since 2006-07.

At the team finals, the Hawkeyes tallied a score of 426.450 to finish fifth in the nation, marking the program’s best finish since 2000 when it finished third.

In just his first season at the helm of the program, the Hawkeyes broke four team records and five individual records under Reive’s guidance. The Hawkeyes broke the total team score record with a 351.800 on March 24th, 2011.

Javier Balboa placed sixth in the all-around (85.650) to earn All-America status. The senior became Iowa’s first all-around All-American since Michael Reavis in 2005, and the Hawkeyes’ first individual to earn All-America honors since Matt McGrath in 2011 (vault). Iowa did not stop there. Balboa and fellow senior Anton Gryshayev earned All-America honors on the final day of competition at the NCAA Event Finals. Iowa had three gymnasts qualify for the NCAA Event Finals. Gryshayev, Balboa, and sophomore William Albert competed on the still rings. Gryshayev led the Hawkeyes with his score of 14.925 to place seventh on the event, while Balboa finished one spot behind with a 14.875. Albert rounded out the top-10, scoring 13.125. The top eight gymnasts on each event received All-America honors. Balboa and Gryshayev earned the Hawkeyes’ first All-America honors on rings since Chris Camiscioli in 1998. The last time Iowa had two All-Americans on rings came in 1997 (Camiscioli, Dave Nemovitz). Balboa became the first Hawkeye to earn All-America status in multiple events since Michael Reavis in 2005 (vault, all-around).

Six gymnasts punched their tickets to compete individually at the NCAA Championships in Reive’s first season. Reive coached his first Hawkeye to All-American honors with Matt McGrath in 2011. Reive, who is the seventh head coach in program history, came to Iowa City after serving as an assistant coach at men’s gymnastics powerhouse Stanford from 2003-10. Reive helped the Cardinal to four top-three team finishes at the NCAA Championships, including the 2009 NCAA National Championship. During his time at Stanford, Reive coached 44 student-athletes to All-American honors. Reive was also honored as the Collegiate Gymnastics Association Assistant Coach of the Year three times (2006, 2009 and 2010) and was also the National Assistant Coach of the Year in 2009. Reive also has deep connections with the U.S. National Team. Most recently, he was named the squad’s head coach for the 2009 Toyota Cup in Japan and helped develop two members of the 2009-10 Senior National Team and one member of the Junior National Development Team.

G a r y b a r ta b i o gary barta

Now in his eighth year as director of athletics at the University of Iowa, Gary Barta continues to provide the UI’s more than 600 student-athletes, in addition to more than 225 coaches, administrators and support staff, the strong leadership and strategic vision that is the foundation for the Hawkeyes’ success both today and in the future. Barta often notes, “Hope is not a strategy,” and evidence of his commitment to planning and execution is his second strategic plan for the UI Athletics Department. The latest “road map” addresses the next five years for the Hawkeyes and is built on the same core tenets contained in the first: Win. Graduate. Do it right. The Hawkeyes are coming off a 2012-13 athletics year that saw eight programs participate in national championship competition, a record-setting year in terms of graduation rates – 77 percent, and steady progress in terms of facility improvements, highlighted by the opening of the new indoor practice facility for the UI’s football program and the Hoak Family Golf Complex at Finkbine Golf Course, home of the Hawkeyes’ men’s and women’s golf programs. Under Barta’s direction, the UI will continue to put into place the infrastructure that will provide the foundation for competitive success. The 2012-13 basketball season provides an outstanding example of the impact state-of-the-art facilities can have on a program. Boosted by a new practice facility and an enhanced strength and conditioning facility – two pieces of Barta’s first strategic plan for the UI – Fran McCaffery’s Iowa men’s basketball team won 25 games and advanced to the championship game of the 2013 National Invitation Tournament. Lisa Bluder’s Iowa women’s basketball team earned its sixth consecutive invitation to the NCAA Tournament. Another example of investments made under Barta’s direction that have helped Iowa turn the corner competitively is the UI men’s golf program. Barta increased his commitment to the sport when he hired native Iowan Mark Hankins, who had a vision for the program that included a new practice facility. Barta, Hankins and the Hawkeyes celebrated the opening of the new $6 million Hoak Family Golf Complex in February, just three months before Hankins’ nationally ranked squad made its fifth straight appearance in the national regional championships.

The Barta family includes Connie, Madison, Gary and Luke.

Women’s basketball and men’s golf are two of the eight UI programs that participated in national championship competition in 2012-13. At the top of the list was Tom Brands’ wrestling program, which crowned one national champion, had four wrestlers earn All-America honors, and finished fourth nationally at the end of a season that included a Big Ten Conference Dual Meet championship. JD Reive’s men’s gymnastics team had three individuals earn All-America honors after finishing fifth at the national meet. Larissa Libby’s women’s gymnastics program advanced to NCAA regional competition for the sixth straight season. The Iowa field hockey program under the direction of Tracy Greisbaum advanced to its sixth NCAA Tournament over the last nine years and 22nd in school history – a total that ranks No. 1 among the Hawkeyes’ Big Ten Conference peers. Two Hawkeyes were named All-Americans. Iowa’s 200 and 400 medley relay teams and backstroker Grant Betulius earned All-America honors while leading Marc Long’s men’s swimming and diving team to a 32nd place at the national championship. Larry Wieczorek’s UI track and field program crowned eight All-Americans en route to placing 35th at the national outdoor championship. Interest in the Hawkeyes continues to soar. Sellouts for home games of the football team at historic Kinnick Stadium and a waiting list for access to the premium seating areas inside the Paul W. Brechler Press Box are the norm. So, too, is Iowa leading the country in attendance at home wrestling events -- Iowa averaged just under 9,000 fans per home dual match in 2012-13 – and being ranked among the nation’s Top 20 in attendance in women’s basketball. Success on the court has also resulted in spinning turnstiles for home games of the UI men’s basketball team. The Hawkeyes’ run to New York City’s Madison Square Garden and the NIT championship game included a pair of sold out games on Mediacom Court in 15,400-seat Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Those two sellouts, paired with three regular season sellouts, helped to push Iowa’s total average per game to 13,625, an improvement of more than 1,700 per game that has pushed the Hawkeyes into the nation’s Top 25 in per game attendance. Under Barta’s leadership, Iowa has also embraced new technologies and that, too, has paid dividends: Iowa ranks among the nation’s Top 10 in Facebook “friends” and Twitter “followers.” The UI also delivers Hawk Talk Daily, a daily e-newsletter, and Hawk Talk Monthly, a monthly e-magazine, to more than 70,000 friends of the UI and fans of the Hawkeyes to complement the news, information, video and photography available on hawkeyesports.com, the official world wide web site of the Iowa Hawkeyes and the UI’s anchor in the digital world.

Iowagymnastics Academically, Iowa continues to achieve at a pace that sets the bar across the state and competes favorably with its peers in the Big Ten Conference. UI student-athletes set new records for academic achievement, according to data released by the NCAA in October 2012, as part of its annual report on the work in the classroom by student-athletes across the country.

G a r y b a r ta b i o practice facility and renovation of the Kenyon Outdoor Practice facility in Phase I, and construction of a state-of-the-art operations center in Phase II, a $9 million investment in scoreboards, ribbon boards, and video walls at historic Kinnick Stadium, construction of the aforementioned $6 million Hoak Family Golf Complex at Iowa’s award-winning Finkbine Golf Course, turf replacement at Grant Field, the home of Iowa’s nationally ranked field hockey program, resurfacing of the courts at the Klotz Tennis Center, the home of Iowa’s men’s and women’s tennis programs, and the construction of a new indoor turf facility.

Student-athletes that entered the UI in the fall of 2005 graduated at a rate of 77 percent, an all-time record for the Hawkeyes. That mark - which uses the federal government benchmark for graduation success – is three points better than the 2011 report when Iowa tied the previous school record of 74 percent set first in 1994-95. It is also six points better than the UI student On the horizon for Barta, from a facilities perspective, is the planning and body and 12 points better than that achieved all by student-athletes construction of the “Hawkeye Campus.” Located on the western edge of nationally. the UI campus, immediately west of Finkbine Golf Course and adjacent to the UI’s Athletics Hall of Fame, the practice and competition sites for The UI also set a new record by posting a score of 87 percent in the NCAA’s Iowa’s soccer and field hockey programs, and the UI Sports Medicine Clinic, “Graduation Success Rate” or GSR, one point better than what was posted and near the UI’s Ashton Cross Country Course, the Hawkeye Campus is the previous year. It marked the seventh time in the eight years of the GSR’s envisioned to be the new home for Iowa’s track and field, softball, and existence that Iowa’s student-athletes scored 80 percent or better. baseball programs. The NCAA’s Academic Progress Rate report for 2012-13 revealed that for the fourth consecutive year all of Iowa’s 24 sports programs were comfortably above the 930 threshold that signals a red flag for the NCAA. The highlights of Iowa’s report include APR’s for 18 of Iowa’s programs that were better than the national average in that sport, including football, men’s basketball and wrestling. The APR for Iowa’s football program – 961 – was an all-time best. As noted, Barta has been the driving force behind substantial investments in the facilities used by Iowa’s talented male and female student-athletes. When the Iowa football program moves into its new $54 million operations center in late summer 2014, the UI will have completed more than $220 million of construction and renovation work over the previous eight years. That list of projects includes a $47 million facelift and addition to Iowa’s award-winning Carver-Hawkeye Arena, a project that directly impacted 23 of Iowa’s 24 sports programs, two phases of improvements to the facilities used daily by Iowa’s football program – construction of a new indoor

His responsibilities at Washington expanded over time to include hiring of coaching and administrative staff, and the day-to-day oversight of several Huskie sport teams. The roots of his development experience extend to his first two positions: director of athletics development and external relations at the University of Northern Iowa and director of development at his alma mater, North Dakota State University. Barta earned a Bachelor of Science degree in mass communication and broadcast journalism from NDSU in 1987. He was an option quarterback for Bison football squads that won the Division II NCAA National Championship in 1983, 1985 and 1986. Barta, and his wife, Connie, have a son, Luke (15) and a daughter, Madison (13). He was born Sept. 4, 1963, in Minneapolis.

Barta is a member of the President’s Cabinet, comprised of vice presidents and other campus leaders that provide counsel to UI President Sally Mason. That group was instrumental in the UI’s response to record-setting flooding that besieged the campus and the Iowa City and Coralville community in June 2008. As the director of athletics at the University of Wyoming for three years, seven different UW coaches were named Mountain West Conference Coach of the Year. He also spearheaded a fund-raising effort that netted the Cowboy athletics program $11 million in private support and $11 million in matching state fund. As the senior associate athletics director at the University of Washington, he directed the “Campaign for the Student-Athlete,” was a participant in the design, construction and/or renovation of several UW athletics facilities, including Bank of America Arena and the Dempsey Indoor Practice Facility.

Iowagymnastics Iowa CONTINUES TO BUILD FOR SUCCESS The UI Department of Athletics is under the direction of Gary Barta and is regarded as one of the top intercollegiate programs in the nation. Once again, the Hawkeyes enjoyed success both athletically and academically in 2012-13 Academically, the UI’s federal graduation rate of 77 percent (for student-athletes who enrolled in the fall of 2005)is the best mark in school history. That mark was six points better than the UI student body and 12 points better than achieved by student-athletes nationally. For the fourth consecutive year, all 24 of Iowa’s teams exceeded the Academic Progress Rate (APR) benchmark and the program posted a record 87 percent in the NCAA’s “Graduation Success Rate.” It is the seventh time in eight years of the GSR’s existence that Iowa’s student-athletes scored 80 percent or better. Athletically, Hawkeye teams enjoyed another outstanding year in 2012-13, as a significant number of Iowa’s 24 programs reached postseason play. The Iowa men’s basketball team advanced to the championship game of the National Invitation Tournament, the women’s basketball team competed in the NCAA Tournament for the sixth straight season and the wrestling team finished fourth at the NCAA Championships. In February, 2013, the UI dedicated the 4,200-square foot James M. Hoak Family Golf Complex, a state-of-the-art golf facility featuring indoor putting and chipping green and two indoor-to-outdoor heated practice bays. It came on the heels of the completion of a $47 million revitalization of Carver-Hawkeye Arena in the summer of 2011. That project included the construction of a practice facility for men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball, a 10,000-square-foot strength training and cardiovascular center, and an expansion to the Dan Gable Wrestling Complex, in addition to new locker room and support facilities for men’s and women’s basketball, wrestling and volleyball programs, and office space for the majority of Iowa administrative and coaching staffs. Phase I of a two-phase project for the UI football program was completed in August, 2012. Phase I included a new indoor practice facility for head coach Kirk Ferentz’ football program that has competed in 10 bowl games over the past 12 seasons. Phase II includes construction of the new Iowa Football Operations Center, which will include new team locker rooms, team meeting rooms, athletic medical training space, video operations, and coaches offices and meeting rooms. Funded entirely through private support and revenue generated by the UI Athletics Department, the project is an important next phase of the master facilities plan for Hawkeye football.

a tota l p r o g r a m Iowa MEN’S TRACK AND FIELD The men’s track and field team placed 35th at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships and earned All-America recognition in nine events. Senior Justin Austin swept the Big Ten Athlete of the Championships and Big Ten Athlete of the Year honors for the second time in his career. Iowa MEN’G GOLF Head coach Mark Hankins led the Hawkeyes to their fifth-straight NCAA Regional appearance in 2013 and two student-athletes garnered all-region honors. Senior Steven Ihm made a splash in the summer, winning the Sunnehanna Amateur and competing on the PGA Tour in the 2013 John Deere Classic. Iowa men’S Basketball Third-year head coach Fran McCaffery led the Hawkeyes to 25 wins -- matching the second-highest win total in school history -- and to the championship game of the National Invitation Tournament. The team’s success saw increased attendance, as Iowa had six sellouts at Carver-Hawkeye Arena, which led to a No. 21 national home attendance ranking. Iowa men’s gymnastics The Hawkeye men’s gymnastics team completed its most successful season in nearly a decade in 2013. Iowa finished fifth nationally at the NCAA Championships, marking the program’s best finish since 2000. The Hawkeyes had three individuals earn All-America recognition, including Javier Balboa, who was the first allaround Iowa honoree since 2005. Iowa FIELD HOCKEY The Hawkeyes advanced to their second-straight and 22nd all-time NCAA Tournament in 2012. Iowa had two student-athletes garner All-America recognition, the 82nd and 83rd honorees in program history.

Iowa Wrestling The Hawkeye wrestling team -- the national attendance leader in each of the last seven seasons -- continued its dominance on the mat, finishing fourth at the NCAA Championships. Four Hawkeyes earned All-America accolades in 2013, including 157-pound national champion Derek St. John. Iowa has claimed 23 national championships since 1975 and 34 Big Ten titles in its history. Iowa Women’s Basketball UI head coach Lisa Bluder guided the Hawkeye women’s basketball team to its sixth-straight NCAA Tournament in a year when the Hawkeyes hosted first and second round contests inside Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Iowa moved on to the Round of 32 following an opening-round victory Miami (Fla.) and finished 21-13 overall. The Hawkeyes are the only Big Ten team to appear in six consecutive NCAA tournaments and one of 13 schools nationally.

A Campus on the Move The University of Iowa campus caters to pedestrians and bicyclists; it’s compact enough to cross in a 20-minute walk. A free ride on a campus bus can cut that time in half. Entertainment on campus and in Iowa City is geared toward student budgets, with many events offered at no charge. The University of Iowa offers more than 400 student organizations, extensive recreation facilities, 50 fraternities and sororities, and a broad schedule of arts performances, lectures, cultural celebrations and club sports and intramural athletic contests to go along with the intercollegiate competition within the Big Ten Conference..

STUDENT-ORIENTED NIGHT LIFE Iowa’s campus is set right in the city’s downtown area, where you’ll find dance clubs, movies, coffeehouses, and restaurants to suit every taste. Live music can be found any night of the week in clubs and restaurants, even outside on warm evenings on the downtown pedestrian mall.

Consider the Opportunity For A Quality Education A quality education is one of the highest priorities at the University of Iowa. Just over 90 percent of Johnson County residents have graduated from high school, and in Iowa City nearly half of all residents have earned bachelor’s degrees. In fact, census statistics indicate Johnson County is the 10th “smartest” county in the nation, based on percentage of residents holding bachelor’s degrees. The University of Iowa represents a strong presence in the community while enhancing the quality of life in Iowa City. Your aspiration may be a career in medicine, law or education. Regardless of the specific career field, it’s important to identify the gymnastics program that places a high priority on academics and allows you to take full advantage of the tremendous educational opportunities available. At the University of Iowa, student-athletes learn quickly that academic success is the highest priority.

Athletics and Academics At The University of Iowa, a strong relationship has been developed between athletics and academics, where coaches and athletes work hand-in-hand with academic deans and professors, assuring the student-athlete the best possible opportunities to excel in the classroom and in athletics. From the first visit for any prospective student-athlete, to the completion of their academic and athletic career at Iowa, academic personnel play a large role in the career of Hawkeye student-athletes. Beginning with the on-campus visits, student-athletes are introduced to professors in their selected field of study, and are able to establish a relationship and develop an understanding of the academic setting in which they will be involved.

Also, he should decide early on to commit to excellence in every challenge undertaken. Without a doubt, the men and women listed here took time to consider their future and the ways to get there.

The Hawkeye Nickname

HERKY THE HAWKEYE

In 1838, 12 years after the book was published, people in the territory of Iowa acquired the nickname, chiefly through the efforts of Judge David Rorer of Burlington and James Edwards of Fort Madison.

The impish Hawk was an immediate hit and acquired a name through a statewide contest staged by the athletic department. John Franklin, a Belle Plaine alumnus, was the man who suggested Herky.

Edwards, editor of the Fort Madison Patriot, moved his paper to Burlington in 1843 and renamed it the Burlington Hawkeye. The two men continued their campaign to popularize the name, and territorial officials eventually gave it their formal approval.

Since his birth more than 45 years ago, Herky has symbolized Iowa athletics and epitomized University life. He even donned a military uniform during the Korean War and became the insignia of the 124th Fighter Squadron.

The University of Iowa borrowed its athletic nickname from the state of Iowa many years ago. The name Hawkeye was originally the name of the hero in the fictional novel, The Last of the Mohicans, written by James Fenimore Cooper. Cooper had the Delaware Indians bestow the name on a white scout who lived with them.

The Hawkeye nickname gained a tangible symbol in 1948 when a cartoon character, later to be named Herky the Hawkeye was hatched. The creator was Richard Spencer III, instructor of journalism at Iowa.

During the mid-1950s, Herky came to life at a football game as the Iowa mascot. Since that time, Herky has been a familiar figure at Iowa athletics events.
