Gymnastics NATIONAL COLLEGIATE MEN’S Gymnastics NATIONAL COLLEGIATE MEN’S 2013 Highlights Michigan dominates fi eld by three-plus points to capture fi fth national title: Olympian Sam Mikulak won the all-around competition and helped Michigan pull away from Oklahoma in the fi nal rotation to take the NCAA men’s gymnastics title April 20. Michigan fi nished with 443.200 points, and Oklahoma had 440.100 after leading by fi ve-tenths after fi ve events. The Wolverines’ fi nal event was fl oor exercise and they scored 75.250, while the Sooners earned 72.750 on the high bar. The championship was Michigan’s fi fth, and the third for head coach Kurt Golder. “You work so hard every year and it doesn’t always come to fruition,” Golder said. ”When it does, it’s very special.” Sooners coach Mark Williams was pleased with the second-place fi nish. ”We were trying to get as good as we could during the year and see how far we could go,” Williams said. ”There’s no way I could have projected this team would have fi nished second.” Stanford was third at 436.150, followed by host Penn State at 436.100, Iowa at 426.450 and Illinois at 422.550. Mikulak fi nished at 91.150 for his second all-around title in three years. He was second last season. Teammate Adrian de los Angeles was second at 88.350. ”We wanted that 1-2 fi nish and that’s what we got,” Mikulak said. The NCAA title in his senior season capped off quite a year for Mikulak, a member of the U.S. senior national team who competed in the London Olym- pics. ”There’s a lot more pride with this team of brothers I’ve been working so hard every day with in the gym,” Mikulak said. ”As much as the Olympics was an amazing experience, this is something that I hadn’t accomplished and this is the fi nal accolade I was striving to get for my college career.” Golder chose to start on the pommel horse, typically one of the competition’s most diffi cult events. ”If you do have trouble, you have fi ve events to dig yourself out of a hole you just dug,” Golder said. ”But we didn’t have trouble. That’s what we did at Big Tens and we won and that’s what we did in prelims. So there wasn’t much of a need to change.” In addition to the all-around title he won the fi rst day of the meet, Mikulak added individual crowns in the parallel bars and high bar the fi nal day. He also won All-America honors by fi nishing third in the fl oor exercise, fourth in the pommel horse and tied for seventh in vault. 2013 TEAM STANDINGS 2013 INDIVIDUAL RESULTS Rings: 1.

  • 2021 CGA Awards Program
    2021 College Gymnastics Association Awards Program CGA AWARDS PROGRAM 2021 1 Statement from CGA President Mike Burns Last year at this time we were just at the start of a year that some would prefer to forget altogether. We lost the last part of our season which was devastating to us all. No conference and national champions were crowned, no All-Americans were determined, no epic battles were fought on the competition floor. And that was a bitter pill to swallow. Every one of us was impacted in a negative way. Something we always expected to happen was taken away and that started the process of self reflection and trying to manage the tidal wave of emotions that washed over us all. It was a time we'd all like to forget indeed. However, if we decided to forget this crazy year, think about all of the awesome things we'd be purging from our memories. All the Zoom meetings with our teams that helped strengthen the bonds within our teams; all the ways you found to stay in shape; all the injuries that actually had a chance to heal a little further; all the positive energy you were forced to find in the face of adversity to just find a way. Adversity is an interesting thing. At first it seems impenetrable, a problem without a solution. But then, what happens? Our collective creative juices start to flow and solutions are discovered. We enter the 'Lewis & Clark' phase of discovery. We drive into unknown territory and while it seems daunting at first, lo and behold, we adjust to a new way of thinking and acting that never would have occurred if not for the original adversity we encountered.

  • Gymnastics NATIONAL COLLEGIATE MEN’S
    Gymnastics NATIONAL COLLEGIATE MEN’S Highlights Illinois rallies to win fi rst NCAA title since 1989: Trailing by more than two points with two rotations remaining, Illinois coach Justin Spring guided his gymnasts toward the pommel horse, an event in which the Illini had been inconsistent all season. They picked the right time to post their season-high score in the event. A 60.75 put Illinois within striking distance, and the Illini followed with a strong performance on the rings to pass No. 1 Oklahoma on April 27 and win their fi rst NCAA title since 1989. Led by U.S. Senior National Team members Paul Ruggeri and C.J. Maestas, Illinois posted a team score of 358.85, 1.4 points better than Oklahoma, which failed to win the national title in its home arena. It was Illinois’ third win of the season against the Sooners and the second in as many days. Oklahoma’s Jacob Dalton took the all-around title. ”This moment has been a long time waiting,” said Spring, a former U.S. Olympic team member who’s in his third season as Illinois’ coach. ”This team is one that truly took ownership of the details and that is not easy to do when you are in a sport that’s based off perfection.” Illinois has won 10 NCAA titles, but before this championship only one had come since 1958. After what Spring called a disappointing eff ort on the high bar, the Illini trailed Oklahoma by 2.05 points with two rotations remaining. They followed with the top performance of the night on the pommel horse and then posted a 59.45 on the rings — in which they were ranked second nationally — to close the gap.
