It has been a few years since we compiled a list of six-footers in NCAA Men's Gymnastics. In seasons past we have consistently seen over a dozen of these tall gymnasts on the rosters in any given year. The most well known have been such All-American stalwarts as Oklahoma's Russ Czeschin (6'3") and Jeremy Adams (6'2"), Illinois' Luke Stannard (6'1") and Stanford's John Martin (6'0"). Our current list is limited to available information [...more]
The Big Ten Network struck television programming gold, scheduling the broadcast of a rare (if not unprecedented) Saturday afternoon College Men's Gymnastics doubleheader.

Undefeated Oklahoma did something that caught college gymnastics fans off guard. Coming off of a high-scoring, barnburner of a meet last weekend against Stanford, the last thing anybody thought was the Sooners coming back the following weekend to post their highest score. Coach Mark Williams gave several of his stars some rest this weekend, but it seems like no matter whom he inserts into the lineup, they [...more]
The future is here. Two current stalwarts of NCAA Men's Gymnastics dominated the podium at the 2017 American Cup. 2016 NCAA champ Yul Moldauer (85.931) occupied the top spot, and 2015 NCAA champ Akash Modi (84.398) earned the third spot. Sandwiched in-between was Olympic silver medalist (AA) Oleg Verniaiev (85.699). For Moldauer, it was the second jewel (Winter Cup) captured during this [...more]
