Carmichael Arena recently underwent a multi-million dollar renovation.

Carmichael Arena The North Carolina faithful long have referred to Carmichael Arena as Blue Heaven and the name certainly fits. Located among the tall pine trees at the heart of the North Carolina campus, Carmichael has been home to the gymnastics program since it reached NCAA status in 1982. Carolina recently completed a multi-million dollar facelift of Carmichael Arena, which has made it one of the top Olympic sports gymnasiums in the country. The arena is named for the late William D. Carmichael Jr., a highly popular figure on campus who served as the university’s comptrol- ler, then as its vice-president. Prior to the 1976-77 season, 1,200 seats were added to bring historic Carmichael to its present capacity of 8,010. The gymnastics office is housed in Carmichael, steps from the competition floor. The facility also serves as home to the women’s basketball, volleyball and wrestling teams, as well as housing offices for many other coaches in UNC’s highly-successful Olympic Sports programs. The Carolina men’s basketball program called Carmichael home from 1965 until its move to the Dean E. Smith Center midway through the 1985-86 season. Under coach , the Tar Heels compiled a home record of 169-20 at Carmichael.

Galvin on Balance Beam: Balance beam is where we have the most depth. We lost two solid contributors in Elizabeth and Maura, but with our depth, we’re now looking for the six most con- sistent performers to step up. Among the seniors, Meredith was our leadoff person last year and we expect her to do the same this year. Michelle has made strong progress on beam. Janell is looking stronger than she did last year and she specializes in beam. Her dismount is Michelle Ikoma stronger this year and we feel she has the potential to score in the 9.9 or above range. In the freshman class, Megan has similar scoring potential as Janell and she should make the beam lineup. Christina has a good chance along with all three sophomores - Josselyn, Sarah and Lexi

Galvin on Floor: We have a wide variety of musical styles and we have some unique routines. That is one of the things that assistant coach Amy Smith brings to our team.
