Olympian Warren Long
Warren Long taught me more than all the many professors I had. His cheerful demeanor in the face of difficulties, his intense curiosity about everything, his great physical skills, his warmth and friendship set a standard that I’ve tried to meet in the years following college. This picture is from the compulsory round of the 1975 NCAAs. — with Warren Long at Indiana State University.
Warren competed for Cal. And was later named to the Canadian 1980 and 1984 Olympic Teams. He was a Vault finalist in Los Angeles.
Today Warren is still in the gym coaching. His son is a gymnast, too.
That was shared with a private Facebook group called NCAA MEN’S GYMNASTICS ALUMNI.

Urban Gymnastics at Camp

It’s been fun. We try to challenge everyone by increasing the difficulty and complexity of the Circuit each day.
