While Penn State women’s gymnastics is a team, it’s also a family. It is a bond that is strengthened through blood, sweat andtears in the gym and laughter, helping hands and teamwork out of the gym. All of these components build trust, friendshipsand strong ties, which are necessary to take the team to the next level and have fun along the way. Whether it’s a high-ropescourse, the traditional team run up Mt. Nittany or just hanging out at a football game with 110,000 of your closest friends,

the Penn State women’s gymnastics team is a family in and out of the gym.

The women’s gymnastics program atPenn State prides itself on excellence,

both in the gym and in the classroom. Oneof the primary academic resources forgymnasts is the Morgan Academic Center.Located in MBNA Building in the middle ofcampus, the center provides a full range ofservices for intercollegiate athletes, includ-ing academic advising, career counseling,sports psychology, and sports research.

The purpose of the center is to help thestudent-athlete make normal progresstoward graduation while managing thedemands associated with attending amajor NCAA Division I institution. Specificobjectives include helping student-athletesdevelop individualized academic plans,providing the means by which student-ath-letes can assume full responsibility for theireducation, and assisting freshman student-athletes in making a successful transition tocollege life.

That philosophy is evident in the Big TenAcademic All-Conference team. The Nit-tany Lions, in their 18 years in the Big Ten,have placed 125 student-athletes on theAcademic All-Conference team.

Gymnastics Facilities


The Penn State women’s gymnastics team trains in the White Building, centrally located on the Penn State campus. The squad’s trainingbase is situated just one block from the dormitory that houses many of Penn State’s gymnasts.

The White Building has been home to the Nittany Lion gymnastics team since 1976. Extensively renovated during the summer and fall of 2000at a cost of nearly two million dollars, the gym’s design and its amenities make it one of the finest gymnastics facilities in the country.

The state-of-the-art facility features 13,400 square feet of training space which is nearly twice the size of most collegiate facilities. The team hasthe benefit of working on new AAI equipment and landing mats at a multitude of training stations. There are two 40 square foot floor exercisesystems, each with a Resi pit adjacent for tumbling, and a 68-foot tumbling strip where gymnasts can choose between a Resi pit or a deep foampit landing.

Three vaulting stations are available, maximizing the gymnasts’ ability to train using safe and effective progressions. Solid foam landing pits areavailable for every event.

Complete with new heating and air conditioning systems, upgraded lighting and a unique architectural design, the gym is not only functionalbut beautiful, as well. Motorized blinds have been installed to filter out sunlight from the 32 spacious windows which adorn the gym.

In addition to the gym space, one of the exciting enhancements to the White Building gymnastics area is the addition of a team lounge thatfeatures all the latest amenities. This lounge area is available for study, relaxation or to review video footage. Leather couches and chairs, a fire-place and a big screen television give the lounge area a "living room feel."

In addition the locker room is furnished with wood lockers and a private shower area.All this makes the Penn State gymnastics home in the White Building one of the most state-of-the-art training facilities in the nation.

Historic Rec Hall


The Penn State gymnastics facilities fall into twocategories: rich in tradition with an extensive gym-

nastics history, or modern, state of the art and brandnew.

Recreation Building, as it is officially named, has thetradition. Since 1943, the gymnasium has hostedchampionship and international gymnastic meets. Ithas been the site of four Olympic Trials, 15 internationalmeets, and six national collegiate gymnastics cham-pionships.

In 1984, 1986, 1988, 1989, 1992, 1996, 1999, 2000, 2002,2004, 2008 and 2010, Rec Hall was the site of the NCAAWomen’s Gymnastics Northeast Regional meets.

A gymnastics-friendly arena, Rec Hall was also thesite for the 2000 and 2007 Big Ten Women’s GymnasticsChampionships.

Rec Hall was built in 1929 and remodeled in 1965.The seating increased from 5,000 to 7,200, but recentchanges have resulted in a current capacity of 6,846.

Considered a preferred site for championship eventsin gymnastics, Rec Hall has scoreboards on the Eastand West ends designed for gymnastics scoring.

Olympians Cathy Rigby from the United States andLudmilla Tourischeva from the Soviet Union have com-peted in Rec Hall.

The top crowd ever in Rec Hall — 8,700 — was onhand when the Nittany Lions hosted No. 1 Utah onMarch 11, 1981. When Penn State met Cal State-Fuller-ton on Feb. 2, 1980, the attendance was 8,532.

While Rec Hall hosts Penn State’s competitive meets,the women’s gymnastics team practices in WhiteBuilding. The White Building is located in the middle ofcampus and was the site of the Nittany Lions’ first com-petitions.

The White Building facility was renovated once againprior to the 2001 season. The 13,400 square feet of ren-ovated space cost nearly $2 million to complete. Theadditions to the facility include loose foam and resi-pits. The extra space allows extra room for three sets ofequipment, making this one of the finest collegiatefacilities in the nation.

The Nittany Lions also utilize the intercollegiate weightroom in Rec Hall. The facility is used by intercollegiateathletes only and is specially designed to fit the needsof an intercollegiate varsity squad.

The Nittany Lion gymnastics squad will host four home meets during the 2011 season. Rec Hall (pictured above) is the home of Nittany Lion gymnastics competi-tion and has served as the home of the Big Ten Men’s and Women’s Gymnastics Championships and Regional and NCAA Championship competition.
