I just received this from Byron Knox, the head Women’s coach at University of Bridgeport CT. Many of you know Byron from CATS Gymnastics and his work with Elite level gymnasts for many years.
Tony,Please pass along to everyone in your local area:We are on the verge of doing the un thinkable… Creating a men’s program here at the University of Bridgeport and possibly moving our fast growing women’s program to division 1! I need your attendance to demonstrate to my administration, that gymnastics in the north east is alive and growing.Please come support this historic event April 13, 2012 in the Webster Bank Arena.ThanksByron
NCAA Gymnastics has been through some tough times in recent years. On the women’s side and certainly the men’s side we have seen programs dropped at an astonishing rate since the 1980’s.
Recently Lindenwood University in St. Charles, MO added a women’s program becoming the first new program since Arkansas was added 10 years ago. The Lindenwood University gymnastics program will begin competition during the 2012-2013 school year as a non-divisional program vying for qualification to the USA Gymnastics Collegiate National Championships.
Can you imagine if U of Bridgeport was able to move up D1 and Added a Men’s Program!.
If you are in the Northeast April 13- Get to the University of Bridgeport
