Minnesota & Iowa to gymACT

Kensley Behel:

In 2020, the University of Minnesota and University of Iowa announced that they would be cutting men’s gymnastics …

Three gymnasts will transfer to the remaining NCAA teams. Crew Bold (MN) will head to the University of Michigan, Donte McKinney (MN) will head to the University of Nebraska, and Michael Kogan (IA) will transfer to the University of Illinois. …

With the addition of Minnesota and Iowa to its community, gymACT would have more competitive programs than the NCAA Division I. …

Athletes who came in as NCAA gymnasts will be able to retain their scholarships while finishing their academic pursuits.

Becky & Ellie – Olympic trial

Becky (29) and Ellie (21) were in Cardiff preparing for Olympic trials when they learned brother Josh (24) had collapsed with a heart attack while training cricket.

Though having had no known heart condition, Josh died in hospital.

The sisters withdrew from competition, of course.

An awful and unexpected family tragedy.

British Gymnastics delayed team selection to provide an opportunity for Becky & Ellie to still qualify.
