LOVE Rutgers Gymnastics

Many in the NCAA are jealous. For the first time Big Ten Championships was hosted on podium.

Hey recruits. Rutgers is planning to build a new training Gym. Operational at some point in the 2018-19 school year.

Elise Ray – Pac 12 Coach of the Year

I attended Seattle Pacific at Washington State. Coach Ray looked very comfortable in her first season as Head Coach. She’s doing a terrific job.

Washington State is hosting the most interesting Regionals on April 1st. Attend if you can.

Oklahoma’s Mark Williams

The Sooners are undefeated in 2017, which would be their third such season in a row. They’re poised for a third straight national title, a first for the program and a nod at Williams’ top-flight coaching. Under Williams, the Sooners have finished no lower than third in the national championship aside from his first season, where they finished fourth.

Oklahoma men’s gymnastics: Sooners’ coach Mark Williams in the midst of legendary career

A good article. But you know the author doesn’t understand Gymnastics by this tell:

“Williams’ road to coaching history began long before he made it to Oklahoma. It began behind another legendary men’s gymnastics coach — former Nebraska coach Francis Allen. Williams competed under Allen from 1977-80 and was a part of two national championship teams, earning All American honors on the high beam in 1978.” 🙂

NCAA Regional Championships set

Maryland just missed with a #37 ranking. 😦

Get to one of the 6 host Universities for April 1, 2017 if you can.

See the qualifying teams on Tumblr. It’s going to be a battle to see who loses to Oklahoma for the second berth to Championships.

I’m enjoying watching UCLA most this season. But — once again — I’ll be cheering for LSU to win their first National Championships. It would be good for the sport to have another team join the very short list of Championship teams.
