st. john arena Formerly the home of Ohio State basketball for 42 seasons, St. John Arena now is the permanent venue for the Buckeye gymnastics teams. Completed in November of 1956 at a cost of less than $4 million, the 13,276-seat structure is named for former OSU basketball coach and athletic director, L.W. St. John. The building of St. John Arena ushered in a golden era in Ohio State basketball. The Buckeyes won the national championship in 1960, were runners-up the next two years and captured a still unequalled five-consecutive Big Ten titles between 1960 and 1964. With the opening of The Jerome Schottenstein Center, St. John Arena has become the full-time playing facility for the men’s and women’s gymnastics teams. Also using the arena for events are wrestling and the men’s and women’s volleyball teams. The Arena has hosted two NCAA Men’s Gymnastics Championships, first in 1995 and then in 2001. Fans at the 2001 meet saw the Buckeyes claim the national title, OSU’s first since 1996. St. John Arena has hosted numerous men’s and women’s gymnastics Big Ten Championships and will again serve as host in 2010 as the men’s squad welcomes its conference foes for the league championships April 2-3, its first in Columbus since 2003. Over the years, the capacity of the arena has fluctuated. The original mark of 13,491 has gone as high as 13,681 and as low as the present figure of 13,276. Prior to the start of the 1987-88 season, a $1.2 million scoreboard, featuring the latest in computer graphics, was installed. At the same time, new corner scoreboards and a new lighting system were added.

steelwood athletic training facility

With the support of the university administration, the Buckeyes moved into the Steelwood Athletic Train- ing Facility in 2003. The practice center has helped in the training of some of the country’s best gymnasts. “Steelwood” has approximately 15,000 square feet of workout area. Along with the facility, the squad practices on equipment that meets the latest FIG specifications. For every event OSU gymnasts have the ability to train into in-ground resipits, in-ground loose foam pits or a competi- tion-landing surface. There is not a lot of waiting around in the Buckeye gym, as they have at least two, three and sometimes even four sets of competition equipment. Additionally, the gym features two trench bar training pits, a tramp bar training area, and a full size trampoline complete with bungee training system. The staff also utilizes a min-tramp station for air awareness and landing drills on resipits and competition surfaces. The variety of training tools and landing surfaces also helps alleviate some of the wear and tear on gymnasts’ bodies that leads to overuse and chronic injuries while training. As an example, the AAI/Palmer spring floor is set up to allow a gymnast to tumble onto the floor itself, onto a resipit or even into loose foam. These different landing surfaces allow a gymnast to train safely at an extremely high level at all times. Also, the gym has an in-ground tumbletrak that goes into loose foam, an Olympic quality trampoline that also goes into loose foam and a 60-foot rod floor that goes onto an in-ground resipit or into loose foam. Unique to the Buckeyes’ gym are the four vaulting stations in the facility. Two of the vaulting strips go into loose foam, one goes onto a resipit and still another is a competitive landing surface. The Buckeye gymnastics program is proud of its new gym, a facility that is considered one of, if not the best, gymnastics training facilities in the country.

Since 1998, The Scarlet and Gray have finished in the Top 3 twelve times at the Big Ten finals and nabbed the conference crown in 2001, ’02, ’05, ’06 and ’07.

Previously, the Buckeyes had recorded back-to-back championships three times (1993-94, 96-97, 2000-01) without being able to tack on a third.

WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES? Ohio State is responsible for the actions of its boosters. If a booster provides an impermissible benefit to a prospect, a student-athlete, or their relatives or friends, Ohio State may be subject to penalties, even if the student-athlete has completed his or her eligibility. The prospect or student-athlete who accepts an impermissible benefit jeopardizes his or her eligibility for intercollegiate competition. A booster who provides an impermissible benefit may be disassociated from the university’s athletics program. Disassociation results in a loss of all benefits or privileges offered by the department of athletics and may involve other penalties as appropriate.
