confirmed – both NCAA Championships

For the 9th year in a row I’ll be attending the NCAA Women’s Gymnastics Championship, this year and next hosted in Texas. A highlight of the year for sure. That goes April 17-19th.

The weekend prior I’ll be attending the NCAA Men’s Championship in Norman, Oklahoma. That competition is typically even more thrilling than WAG. With the hosts in record breaking form, it’s going to be a BIG deal.

I’m being sent by the Cirque du Soleil Casting department. And I’m happy to meet any coach with questions about the world’s biggest employer of acrobats. Or you can contact talent scout Stacy Clark (stacy.clark (a) cirquedusoleil.com) directly.

Cirque supports the NCAA.

Sarah Chrane:

A record-setting Division III Gymnastics season (perhaps the best in history) concluded last weekend when the University of Wisconsin LaCrosse hosted the NCGA National Championships.

Friday night featured the team and all-around competition, which was one of the closest (and by all accounts, exciting) team competitions in DIII history with the top 4 teams all scoring within .6 of one another. …

LaCrosse’s head coach Barbara Gibson was named NCGA Coach of the Year while Ursinus’ Emily Repko was named NCGA Assistant Coach of the Year. Springfield’s Pocius and Whitewater’s Cici Talcott were both named NCGA Co-Outstanding Senior Gymnast of the Year, an award bestowed upon the senior gymnast who best exemplifies all the values of the student-athlete, through academics, athletics, leadership, and service. …

With all the records set in Division III this year, many from teams led by strong freshmen classes, and with the NCGA mobilizing to become a bigger, stronger organization, the future of Division III gymnastics, once grim, is now looking bright. …

Note that the judges are not seated in the normal FIG configuration. Not enough space, I assume.

Aside from these general public videos, the only way to watch 2015 Jesolo routines after the competition is with a paid Gymnastike membership. They bought the rebroadcast rights.

Beautiful. 🙂 But Norah Flatley’s was definitely more solid.

I assume Chow’s wife Liwen Zhuang is the Beam coach of both.
