REGIONAL COACH OF THE YEAR AWARD-Mike Burns-2005-

Regional Coach of the Year recognition began in 1961 when each region

nominated a regional Coach of the Year. In 1973, when the National Coach

of the Year was no longer selected by nomination and by ballot, the C.G.A.

continued electing the Regional Coaches of the Year. The chairman mails

out ballots to every active member for selection of one Regional Coach of

the Year for each region. In 1997 the voting regions were realigned into

three regions: West, Central, and East. The awards are presented each

spring at the coaches' meeting by the C.G.A. Vice President.

NISSEN-EMERY AWARD CHAIRMAN – Carmine Giglio-2010-

NISSEN-EMERY AWARD

Since 1966, college gymnastics' highest honor, the Nissen Award, has been

presented annually to that year's outstanding senior collegiate gymnast.

From 1966 through 1989 the award nomination, selection and presentation

process was managed by the Nissen Company. IBM sponsored the award in

1990. USA Gymnastics sponsored the award from 1991-97. In 1998 Dr.

Robert W. Emery, the 1969 winner, agreed to help the C.G.A. finance the

redesigning of the Award and establish an endowment that would

indefinitely cover the annual expenses associated with it.

The Nissen-Emery Award does not only honor the collegiate senior gymnast

who has established an outstanding record of achievement during his

college career. More than simply an award for gymnastics excellence, the

winner must also meet these requirements:

He must be an example of good sportsmanship and fair play...

a champion in defeat as well as in victory.

He must maintain a high standard of scholarship throughout

his college career.

College gymnastics coaches, student athletes and accredited college

gymnastics judges all across the nation are requested each year to submit

nominations for the award. Gymnasts receiving the highest number of

nominations are then placed on a final ballot and voted upon by those same

coaches, athletes and judges.

The award presentation is held annually at the NCAA Gymnastics

Championships.

The "Heisman Trophy" of gymnastics, the Nissen-Emery Award is inscribed

with the following motto: "The true champion seeks excellence physically,

mentally, socially, and morally."

All-America Awards Chairman – Jerry Wright-2009-2013

Dan Ribeiro -2014-

ALL-AMERICA AWARDS

All-America awards are to be given annually to the top eight (8) place

medalists in the NCAA Championships and to the top six (6) at the U.S.A.G.

College Division National Championship in each individual event and the

all around.

Each recipient will receive three (3) identical certificates -- one each

for the gymnast, the coach, and his institution. Public announcement by

the host institution's sports information office will be made in the form

of a news release a few days following the NCAA Championships. This

release will be formulated in such a way as to describe the "NCAA All-

American team" as selected by the C.G.A.

Lou Burkel, Air Force Academy, chaired this committee for 20+? Years.

ACADEMIC TEAM CHAMPION and ALL-AMERICA SCHOLAR-ATHLETE AWARDS

Chairman - Cliff Gauthier

ACADEMIC TEAM CHAMPION OF MEN'S GYMNASTICS

The men’s gymnastics team with the highest combined team grade point average

for the academic year will be declared the Academic Team Champion of Men's

Gymnastics. All student-athletes who were members of your squad should be

included on this list unless they officially used their one red shirt year during

the season. Student-athletes who are working out with your team and have

previously used a red shirt year should be included on this list even though they

may not have competed this season due to their athletic inability to make your

competition team.

The grade point average (calculated to three decimal places) for each

gymnast should reflect the academic year only (Fall and Spring semesters or Fall,

Winter, and Spring quarters).

ALL-AMERICA SCHOLAR-ATHLETE AWARD

The College Gymnastics Association also honors first team All-America

Scholar-Athletes for attaining at least a 3.50 grade point average and

second team All-American Scholar-Athletes for attaining a grade point

average between 3.2 and 3.499.

-31-

NCAA “ELITE 89” AWARD

The ELITE 89, an award founded by the NCAA in 2010, recognizes the true

essence of the student-athlete by honoring the individual who has reached

the pinnacle of competition at the national championship level in his or

her sport, while also achieving the highest academic standard among his or

her peers. The Elite 89 is presented to the student-athlete with the

highest cumulative grade-point average participating at the finals site

for each of the NCAA’s 89 championships.

Selection Criteria: Student-athlete is at least a sophomore in academic

and athletics standing, and in at least his or her second year of

competition (in any sport) at his or her current institution. Student-

athlete is an active member on the roster and a member of the designated

squad size for the championship site.
