Huskers seek Growth in Big Ten conference, sights set on Top six NcAA Finish

The 2015 Nebraska men’s gymnastics team (from left): Alex Magsam, Travis Gollott, Brenon Sommers, Andrew Zymball, Sanjaya Roy, Christopher Stephenson, Daniel Leal, Sam Chamberlain, Ethan Lottman, Ryan Irick, Robbie Kocks, Josh Ungar, Louis Klein, Grant Perdue, Andrew House, Kyle King, Antonio Castro, Josh Everitt, Austin Epperson, Connor Adamsick, Coleman Tokar.

With the loss of six key gymnasts, the Nebraska men’s gymnastics team looks to build on its eighth-place finish at the NCAA Championships in 2014, NU’s highest placing finish since 1999. Head Coach Chuck Chmelka expects this year’s five seniors to guide the new members of the team through the 2015 season.

In 2015, Nebraska hopes to continue improving on its performance within the Big Ten. The conference’s excellence in men’s gymnastics will continue to provide challenging matchups for NU. Chmelka said the team is prepared for the challenge, as the Huskers enter into their fourth season in the conference.

“We really have some great talent on our team this year,” Chmelka said. “There’s really a great mix of older, middle and younger guys that are all ready to see what this season brings. This year, making the top six at the NCAA Championships is totally seeable and doable. And we are going to fight hard to get there.”

senior LeadershipNebraska will look to its five seniors to help

lead the team in the gym and the classroom this year. Andrew House and Louis Klein anticipate leading the team on several events for the Huskers this season. The duo also plans to provide strong leadership and support to the newcomers looking to make an impact.

Two-time returning All-American Grant Perdue looks to continue in his roles as leader on floor and vault, seeking All-America honors in his final competitive season at Nebraska. Teammate Josh Ungar should also add key scores on floor and vault while adding help on parallel bars and high bar.

Robbie Kocks, a 2014 Big Ten still rings medalist, expects to continue as a leader in the rings lineup and push for postseason appearances on the event.

“The seniors are all part of my first and second recruiting classes as the head coach, so that’s really special for me,” Chmelka said. “Every one of those guys are leaders in their own right. They’re not in it for them, they’re in it for the team. I think this will be a great year for them.”

Junior PotentialNebraska’s junior class may be small in numbers,

but is full of potential as the team enters its fourth Big Ten campaign.

Returning All-American Sam Chamberlain expects to hold the reigns on parallel bars, as well as make contributions on floor, vault and high bar.

Ethan Lottman seeks continued success on floor, pommel horse and high bar. Lottman qualified for the individual event semifinals at the 2014 NCAA Championships in pommel horse, posting the highest score by any Husker on the event in 2014. He looks to build on that success in this year.

Ryan Irick, who sat out the 2014 season with injuries, hopes to help fill in the gaps on pommel horse and rings for the Huskers in 2015.

sophomore PowerAustin Epperson and Travis Gollott will lead

NU’s sophomore class after a stellar collegiate gymnastics debut. Epperson plans to improve his performances on floor, rings, parallel bars and high bar. The Allen, Texas, native set personal bests of 14.30 or higher in all four events in 2014.High-profile recruit Gollott delivered in his first

competitive season at Nebraska, and hopes to build on the excellence he established as a freshman on floor, pommel horse, vault and parallel bars.

Antonio Castro comes off his first successful season with the Huskers and is hoping to grow on floor, pommel horse, vault and high bar in the 2015 season.

Coleman Tokar contributed in two regular-season meets before suffering a season-ending injury in 2014. This season, Tokar hope to develop develop his strength on floor, vault and high bar to become a steady performer for the Huskers in his sophomore campaign.

Chris Stephenson is a transfer from Air Force seeking success in his first year as a Husker. The Fishers, Ind., native is recovering from an injury suffered in the summer but is expected to be one of NU’s top all-around competitors.

Freshman TalentThe Huskers’ talented freshman class features a

total of eight members. Redshirt freshmen Connor Adamsick and Brenon Sommers anticipate making the lineups in 2015, while guiding the remaining newcomers in their first competitive season at Nebraska.

Fellow Redshirt freshman Sanjaya Roy will also look to adjust to collegiate competition in his first competitive season. A native of Douglassville, Pa., Roy could contribute in some key roles on rings, parallel bars and vault for NU.

The Huskers’ five remaining freshmen consist of high-profile recruits sought after by numerous schools across the country. Kyle King, a native of Mesquite, Texas, comes to Nebraska after an outstanding 2014 competitive club season. At the 2014 P&G Championships, King tied for the floor title in the men’s junior age 17-18 division. He could be a major force on floor, pommel horse and vault in 2015.

Daniel Leal enters his first year at Nebraska after a successful 2014 season at the club level. A native of Cali, Colombia, Leal took home the high bar crown at the 2014 Region 7 Championships and has been an active member of the Colombian National Team since 2009. Leal anticipates competing in the all-around for NU in his first collegiate season.

Josh Everitt from Tucson, Ariz., captured the

bronze on rings at the 2013 Junior Olympic National Championships and is expected to add key depth on floor, pommel horse and rings for Nebraska.

Fellow Arizona native Alex Magsam from Scottsdale comes to Nebraska looking to begin a successful career in the all-around. At the 2013 J.O. National Championships, Magsam won the floor and all-around titles. At the 2014 Region I Championships, he took home two first-place medals on rings and vault.

Andrew Zymball, a native of La Vista, Neb., is a local name looking to continue the program’s rich tradition. At the 2014 J.O. National Event Finals, Zymball earned the silver on parallel bars. He hopes to provide added depth on floor, rings, vault and parallel bars for the Huskers in 2015.

challenging scheduleThe Huskers begin their 2015 season on Jan. 17

at the Rocky Mountain Open before traveling to Palo Alto, Calif., for a quadrangular with Stanford, California and Oklahoma. NU returns to Lincoln to open its home schedule on Jan. 30. Nebraska will welcome Army to the Bob Devaney Sports Center in the first meeting between the two teams since 2005.

The Huskers will then hit the road again for four straight away meets. They travel first to Minneapolis, Minnesota to face the Golden Gophers on Feb. 7, before venturing to Iowa City in a Big Ten triangular against Iowa and Minnesota on Feb. 14.

Nebraska will next travel to Las Vegas, Nev., on Feb. 19 for the 2015 Winter Cup Challenge. The Huskers will have a week off before hitting the road once again to compete in a dual with Illinois on March 8 in Champaign, Ill.

The team returns home for Senior Night against Iowa, Minnesota and Penn State for its last meet of the regular season.

The 2015 Big Ten Championships will be hosted by Penn State on March 27-28 in University Park, Pa. A combination of the team’s regular-season and conference championships performances will determine whether NU qualifies for the NCAA Championships. The national championships will be held at the University of Oklahoma on April 9-11 in Norman.

2015 Nebraska Men’s Gymnastics Schedule

Husker HomesThe 21 members of the 2015 Nebraska men’s gymnastics team came to Nebraska from 15 states across the country and foreign country.Arizona (2) - Joshua Everitt, Alex Magsam; california (1) - Travis Gollott; colombia (1) - Daniel Leal; Florida (1) - Antonio Castro; Georgia (1) - Robbie Kocks; Illinois (2) - Connor Adamsick, Brenon Sommers; Indiana (1) - Chris Stephenson; kansas (1) - Ryan Irick; Massachusetts (1) - Josh Ungar; michigan (1) - Louis Klein; minnesota (1) - Coleman Tokar; Nebraska (2) - Ethan Lottman, Andrew Zymball; ohio (1) - Sam Chamberlain; Pennsylvania (1) - Sanjaya Roy; Texas (4) - Austin Epperson, Andrew House, Kyle King, Grant Perdue

Senior Andrew House overcame two consecutive ACL injuries in 2012 and 2013 to return to the high bar, pommel horse and floor lineups for the 2014 season, setting a personal-best score of 14.90 on floor at the Arnold Challenge.



Floor exercise The entire floor area must be used during the exercise, which consists primarily of three to five tumbling passes performed in different directions. The new NCAA scoring system requires gymnasts to include non-acrobatic elements, acrobatic forward, backward and sideward elements and a dismount. The exercise must also contain elements of balance, strength, jumps and leg circles. The area of the floor exercise mat is 40 feet by 40 feet.

Each individual vault is categorized in the Code of Points, the official text giving relevant value of each skill performed. During the pre-flight from the springboard to the horse, the body must maintain proper form, i.e. legs together and straight. During the second flight, from the horse to the landing, the gymnast’s body must rise and show a complete body extension before landing. The landing should be firm, without extra steps, and in line with the horse. The men’s vault stands 53 inches high. The runway is a maximum of 82 feet long.

The gymnast must cover all three areas of the horse, the middle and both ends, while performing continuous circular movements interrupted only by the required scissor element. The only parts of the body that should touch the apparatus are the hands. The entire exercise should flow with a steady, controlled rhythm. Considered by many to be the most difficult of all men’s gymnastics events, the pommel horse is also the most subtle. Each move is defined by complex hand placements and body positions. NCAA rules require gymnasts to include single leg work, circles, spindles and handstands, side and cross travels, kehres and wendeswings and a dismount. The pommel horse stands 42 inches high as measured from the top of the mat to the top of the apparatus.

Pommel Horse

The routine on the high bar consists exclusively of swinging parts without stops. The gymnast must execute at least one move in which he releases and re-grasps the bar, and must perform at least one giant with either his back to the bar or with an “eagle” grip in which the wrists are rolled outward until the thumbs are on the outside. The gymnast is also required to perform an “in bar” skill like a stalder circle. The bar is 100 inches from the top of the mat.

High Bar

Parallel Bars

The ring routine must include a swing to a handstand, swing to a strength element and a static strength skill. The exercise must also include kip and swing portions that may not lead to a held position. Examples of strength elements include a cross, an inverted cross or a planche. The rings should be absolutely still and in control at the end of each skill. The rings are 100 inches from the top of the mat.

A parallel bar routine consists of swinging, flight and hold elements. The gymnast is required to execute swinging skills which originate from a support, a hang below the bars and an upper arm hang. Also required is at least one skill from the strength, leg swing and side bar element group. The parallel bars stand 70 inches high.

Note: Nebraska participated in the Big Eight Conference before 1995. After Iowa State dropped men’s gymnastics following the 1994 season, the Big Eight Conference opted not to sanction a league championship meet because NU and Oklahoma were the only schools sponsoring a varsity team. NU entered the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation in 1995. The Huskers joined the Big Ten Conference for the 2012 season.

all-time Letterwinners



College gymnastics’ highest honor, the Nissen-Emery Award, has been presented annually since 1966 to an outstanding senior collegiate gymnast based on gymnastic achievement, sportsmanship and academic excellence. The original Nissen Award was named in honor of George Nissen, a former NCAA champion, for his contributions to men’s gymnastics. The award was re-named the Nissen-Emery Award in 1998 to honor Dr. Robert Emery, a Penn State graduate, who won the Nissen Award in 1969. The “Heisman Trophy” of gymnastics, the Nissen-Emery Award is inscribed with the following motto: “The true champion seeks excellence physically, mentally, socially and morally.” Nebraska’s dominance of men’s gymnastics throughout the 1980s is best illustrated by the three Huskers who captured the Nissen Award within a period of seven years. Tom Schlesinger was the third NU recipient of the Nissen. He won the award in 1988, following former Huskers Jim Hartung (1982) and Wes Suter (1986).

Nebraska’s Nissen-Emery Award winners include Wes Suter, Jim Hartung and Tom Schlesinger. This photo taken in 1988 after Schlesinger won the award includes (from left) Bob Devaney, Suter, Jim Howard, George Nissen, Francis Allen, Hartung and Schlesinger.

Academic Honors



One of the nation’s premier programs, Nebraska has produced nine athletes who have earned 11 U.S. Olympic positions, including a two-time Olympic appearance by current Nebraska assistant coach Jim Hartung. Former Head Coach Francis Allen was also a two-time Olympic team head coach for the 1980 and 1992 teams.

A two-time Olympian, Jim Hartung helped the 1984 U.S. squad to the gold medal. It marked the only time in Olympic history that the U.S. men have claimed the team gold medal. A 22-time NCAA All-American and seven-time NCAA champion, Hartung won NCAA all-around titles in 1980 and 1981, was second in 1982 and third in 1979. In addition, Hartung won three straight NCAA still rings titles (1980-82) and back-to-back NCAA parallel bars crowns (1981-82). As a freshman in 1979, Hartung led NU to its first national championship. During his Husker career, Hartung guided NU to four straight national championships. An Omaha native and South High School graduate, Hartung was a product of the Cahoy School of Gymnastics. In 1982, Hartung became NU’s first Nissen Award winner.

Jim Hartung: 1980, 1984

Phil Cahoy: 1980One of three Huskers on the 1980 Francis Allen-coached U.S. Olympic team, Phil Cahoy was a 10-time NCAA All-American at Nebraska. Like Jim Hartung, Cahoy was an Omaha South High School graduate. He trained under his father, Phil Cahoy Sr., at the Cahoy School of Gymnastics before coming to Nebraska. As a Husker, he was a key figure on four NU squads that won national championships (1980-83). Individually, he was a four-time NCAA champion, winning back-to-back NCAA parallel bars and horizontal bar national titles in 1980 and 1981.

One of three Huskers on the Francis Allen-coached 1980 U.S. Olympic team, Larry Gerard was a seven-time NCAA All-American while at Nebraska. In 1979, Gerard finished fifth in the all-around to help Nebraska win its first national championship.

Larry Gerard: 1980

Jim Mikus: 1984The alternate for the gold medal winning 1984 U.S. squad, Jim Mikus was a five-time NCAA All-American at Nebraska. He was a valuable contributor for NU’s national championship teams in 1981, 1982 and 1983.
