Reive hoped to change the culture and the expectations of a program that had fallen on hard times. After two years of tireless work, the Hawkeyes are on the verge of meeting those two goals. Iowa enters the 2013 season with a sense of excitement stemming from a talented lineup, a new mentality and JAVIER BALBOA JAVIER BECKER TODD SENIOR goals that are higher than any other team has set during Reive’s tenure. SENIOR “This is the transition that we have been waiting for,” said Reive. “We’ve been waiting for a group of kids who are ready to change Iowa gymnastics, put us back on the map and to be on top of the podium. This is a team that realizes that, and is ready to go out and do it. We’re all very excited about the expectations this season.” In his first two years with the team, Reive implemented a new training regimen and a new vision for Iowa gymnastics. The process was challenging for both the gymnasts and coaches, but all the progress is close to paying off. Iowa enters the season with 13 returning letterwinners, and the emergence of a deep and talented freshmen class. The blend of the team consists of gymnasts with different experience levels and specialties, but the same goals. ANTON GRYSHAYEV ANTON SENIOR BRODERICK SHEMANSKY BRODERICK SENIOR “The goals that the team set this year are the exact same as mine, which is phenomenal,” said Reive. “They want to be a top-three Big Ten team and a team that advances to the team finals of the NCAA Championships. It’s something that they need to work very hard to achieve, but it’s doable and they really want it.” The Hawkeyes will be led by a senior class in which Reive sees a number of potential All-Americans, including Javier Balboa, Anton Gryshayev, Matt McGrath and Brody Shemansky. Shemansky returns from a first team All-Big Ten campaign last year, while McGrath was an All-American on vault in 2011 and could reach the same accolades on vault and floor exercise this year. Balboa is an all-arounder that can contend in multiple events, and Gryshayev is the top-performer Iowa has arguably ever had on rings. Senior Todd Becker, juniors Angelo Bronzino and Jack McClay, and sophomore Lance Alberhasky, round out the Hawkeyes that are expected to lead the team. MATT MCGRATH MATT BRONZINO ANGELO SENIOR JUNIOR PAGE 5 IOWAGYMNASTICS SEASON PREVIEW “The upperclassmen have made great strides from last season to now in terms of work ethic, commitment and discipline to their training,” said Reive. “It’s nice for me to look across the board as they keep improving and say, `wow, these guys are going to put up some big scores.’” While Iowa relied heavily on its proven upperclassmen in past years and needed high scores from them to be successful, this year’s upperclassmen are being pushed by the newcomers. The Hawkeyes have 12 underclassmen, seven of
