Senior Dan Gill was named
Gymnast of the Year by the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation
on March 20, after winning the individual all-around
title with a score of 54.475. In early April, Gill placed
second in the all-around at the NCAA men’s
gymnastics championships. He is spending spring
quarter training for the U.S. championships and the
Olympic trials, both in June. “My goal was to
get an NCAA scholarship in gymnastics, and I achieved
that,” Gill told STANFORD
this winter. “Then my goal was to make the national
team, and I did that. To compete internationally, and
I did that. The Olympics are my next goal.”
The women’s gymnastics squad
(15-3) won the Pac-10 championship on March 20 with
197.900 points, edging out No. 1 UCLA, which compiled
197.875. Sophomore Natalie Foley took home top honors
in the all-around, and seniors Lindsay Wing and Caroline
Fluhrer tied four other athletes for the balance beam
title. Kristen Smyth was named Coach of the Year. On
April 3, the No. 2 Cardinal captured first place at
the NCAA North Central regionals, with senior Lise Léveillé,
Fluhrer and Wing finishing one-two-three in the all-around.
Results from the mid-April NCAA finals will be published
