Minnesota Golden Gophers men's gymnastics
The Minnesota Golden Gophers represented the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities in Division 1 men's gymnastics. They were coached by Head Coach Mike Burns and Assistant Coaches Kostya Kolesnikov and Jordan Valdez.[2] The team's home venue was Maturi Pavilion. The Gophers won 21 Big Ten Conference titles, most recently in 1995.[3] They were ranked second in the NCAA three times, most recently in 2018. Two Gophers have been men's artistic individual all-around National Champions: Newt Loken in 1942 and John Roethlisberger in 1991, 1992, & 1993.[4] On September 10, 2020, the University of Minnesota announced that the school would be cutting the men's gymnastics program, in addition to three others - tennis, indoor track and field, and outdoor track and field - so as to stave off budget shortfalls exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.[5] See alsoReferences
