Review
History
Nebraska Expecting Young Huskers to Grow Up Fast
After losing an eight-member senior class

that included all-arounders Kyle Shanahan
and John Robinson, along with NCAA
Championship competitors Tony Maras, Josh
Rusler, Daniel Brule and Stefan Wallof, secondyear Nebraska Coach Chuck Chmelka might
have cause for concern for his 2011 Huskers.
Instead of concern, Chmelka sees plenty of
reasons for optimism. Not only do the Huskers
return All-American Anthony Ingrelli, they also
bring back top all-arounder Andreas Hofer to
form the nucleus of a talented young squad.
Ingrelli, who captured All-America honors on
still rings at the 2010 NCAA Championships,
heads into his senior year as NUs top event
specialist.
Hofer, a sophomore co-captain, owns NUs
top all-around score in the past three years
(88.40), and a top-16 individual all-around finish
at the 2010 NCAA Championships.
Seniors Bear Danley and Matthew Forrest,
along with juniors David Jacobs, Will Eastman
and Michael Killeen will also provide leadership
to a talented group of Husker underclassmen.
With the mix of talent and experience
returning, Chmelka believes the Huskers are
poised to grow throughout the year and peak
for the postseason.
I always have people asking me what place
we want to get or if were going to get in the topthree, Chmelka said. But I try not to get caught
up in that. If we just hit all of our routines and we
are clean and we get 10th place, but do as good
as we can, then I am fine with that. I feel like if
we do that, then were going to be way up there
in the rankings because we havent done that in
a long, long time.
Despite the heavy losses from last years
senior class, Chmelka believes the newest crop
of Huskers is capable of a top-six NCAA finish.
Once were all on the one floor together,
anything can happen, Chmelka said. Ive seen
the sixth seed come in and win it all before at
the NCAA Championships. If we can get there,
anything can happen.
Senior Leaders
Nebraskas seniors, led by All-American
and team co-captain Anthony Ingrelli, will be
expected to set the tone in terms of focus,
energy and consistency throughout the year.
Bear Danley, who competed for NU
throughout 2010 on floor, horse, vault, parallel
bars and high bar, will also be counted on as a
major senior contributor.
Matthew Forrest has battled injuries over
the past year, but is making progress in his
recovery and could compete on three events
for NU by the end of the season.
Cory Baumgarten, NUs fourth senior and
a two-year letterman for the Huskers, is not
expected to compete this season because of a
shoulder injury.
Juniors Provide Stability
A trio of juniors will add to the leadership
of this years Husker squad. David Jacobs
made a major impact in his first season at
NU in 2010, when he competed at the NCAA
Championships on horse, parallel bars and
high bar. Jacobs is expected to add two more
events to his skill set in 2011.
Michael Killeen could compete on as many as
five events for the Huskers or fill lineup spots as
needed on an event-by-event basis.
Will Eastman, who underwent season-ending
surgery a year ago, will hope to fill a competitive
role as the season progresses.

Sophomore Scorers
Nebraska returns four sophomores to the
lineup this season, headlined by all-arounder
Andreas Hofer. Last season, Hofer set a
Nebraska record with an 88.40 all-around
score against Iowa and Minnesota.
Hofer leads by example and has high
expectations for the 2011 campaign.
Wyatt Baier has the best chance to make an
impact in the Husker vault lineup this season,
and could crack the lineup in as many as four
other events.
Andreas Hofer heads into his second year at Nebraska looking to build off an outstanding freshman
season. The sophomore from Germany was named one of two co-captains for the 2011 team.
2011 Media Guide
Junior David Jacobs is one of Nebraskas most

experienced returning gymnasts in 2011.
Ben Hall has made major improvements in the
offseason and has a chance to be a regular lineup
contributor on parallel bars, while challenging for
a spot in three other events. Gabriel Sanchez
completes the sophomore class.
Freshmen Factors
Nebraska adds eight freshmen and one redshirt
freshman to the lineup this year. Redshirt Mark
Ringle could contend for All-America honors on
high bar in his first season.
All-arounder C.J. Schaaf will be counted on to
help fill the voids left by 2010 seniors Shanahan
and Robinson, while Wyatt Aycock and Eric
Schryver will also be counted on in multiple events.
Micah Christensen, Andrew House, Donovan
Arndt, Louis Klein and Robbie Kocks are also
expected to get their first tastes of NCAA Division I
competition this year.
Challenging Schedule
The Huskers open the year at the Rocky Mountain
Open on Jan. 15, before heading to Minnesota to
face a pair of perennial Big Ten powers (Minnesota,
Illinois) on Jan. 22.
Nebraska opens its home schedule against Air
Force on Sunday, Jan. 30, at 2 p.m. NU returns
to the Devaney Center on Feb. 13, at 2 p.m., to
battle Oklahoma and Illinois-Chicago. After a road

on Sunday, March 6, at 2 p.m. After another road
trip to Ohio State, the Huskers will celebrate Senior
Night against Iowa and Minnesota at the Devaney
Center on Saturday, March 19, at 7 p.m.
NU will hope to be in peak form for its final MPSF
Championships in Colorado Springs, Colo., on
April 2, before heading to Columbus, Ohio, for the
NCAA Championships, April 14-16.

Floor Exercise
Pommel Horse
The entire floor area must be used during the exercise,

which consists primarily of three to five tumbling passes
performed in different directions. The new NCAA scoring
system requires gymnasts to include non-acrobatic
elements, acrobatic forward, backward and sideward
elements and a dismount. The exercise must also contain
elements of balance, strength, jumps and leg circles. The
area of the floor exercise mat is 40 feet by 40 feet.
The gymnast must cover all three areas of the horse,

the middle and both ends, while performing continuous
circular movements interrupted only by the required scissor
element. The only parts of the body that should touch the
apparatus are the hands. The entire exercise should flow
with a steady, controlled rhythm. Considered by many
to be the most difficult of all mens gymnastics events,
the pommel horse is also the most subtle. Each move is
defined by complex hand placements and body positions.
NCAA rules require gymnasts to include single leg work,
circles, spindles and handstands, side and cross travels,
kehres and wendeswings and a dismount. The pommel
horse stands 42 inches high as measured from the top of
the mat to the top of the apparatus.
Vault
Each individual vault is categorized in the Code of Points,

the official text giving relevant value of each skill performed.
During the pre-flight from the springboard to the horse,
the body must maintain proper form, i.e. legs together and
straight. During the second flight, from the horse to the
landing, the gymnasts body must rise and show a complete
body extension before landing. The landing should be firm,
without extra steps, and in line with the horse. The mens
vault stands 53 inches high. The runway is a maximum of
82 feet long.
Parallel Bars
Still Rings
The ring routine must include a swing to a handstand,

swing to a strength element and a static strength skill. The
exercise must also include kip and swing portions that may
not lead to a held position. Examples of strength elements
include a cross, an inverted cross or a planche. The rings
should be absolutely still and in control at the end of each
skill. The rings are 100 inches from the top of the mat.
High Bar
A parallel bar routine consists of swinging, flight and hold

elements. The gymnast is required to execute swinging
skills which originate from a support, a hang below the bars
and an upper arm hang. Also required is at least one skill
from the strength, leg swing and side bar element group.
The parallel bars stand 70 inches high.
2011 Media Guide
The routine on the high bar consists exclusively of swinging

parts without stops. The gymnast must execute at least one
move in which he releases and re-grasps the bar, and must
perform at least one giant with either his back to the bar or
with an eagle grip in which the wrists are rolled outward
until the thumbs are on the outside. The gymnast is also
required to perform an in bar skill like a stalder circle. The
bar is 100 inches from the top of the mat.

History
Chuck Chmelka
Head Coach | University of Nebraska (1982) | Second Year
Honors and Awards
2007 College Gymnastics Association West Region Assistant Coach of the Year
Three-Time National Championship Team Member
U.S. National Team Member (1981)
Nebraska School of Gymnastics Program Director
USAG Junior National Staff
Last year, Chuck Chmelka was named head coach

of the Nebraska mens gymnastics program. Chmelka
succeeded Francis Allen, who retired after 40 years
as the programs head coach.
Chmelka comes into his second year at Nebraska as
head coach with a positive outlook on the upcoming
2011 season. Chmelka hopes senior leadership and
young talent will combine to produce a strong 2011
campaign. With eight new freshmen added to this
years roster, Chmelka recognizes that the younger
gymnasts will to need to produce in order to have a
successful season.
In his first season as head coach, Chmelka helped
the Huskers improve in 2010.
The overall goal for this season Chmelka said is
to work on the things they control. He wants to put
together a team that hits 80 percent of routines every
meet. Chmelka also wants work on cutting down on
execution errors as well.
Top six is of course our overall goal. There you get
a chance to compete for the national championship
and once were all on the one floor together, anything
can happen, Chmelka said.
Chmelka has deep ties to the tradition-rich Nebraska
gymnastics program. He served as an assistant under
Allen from 1986 to 2009, and assisted with three of
the Huskers eight national team championships.
Chmelka also competed at Nebraska from 1978 to
1981 and was a member of NUs first three national
championship teams in 1979, 1980 and 1981.
Since Chmelka joined the staff in 1986, he has
coached Nissen-Emery Award winners Wes Suter
(1986) and Tom Schlesinger (1988) and helped
Nebraska win eight conference crowns. Chmelka was
named the 2007 CGA West Region Assistant Coach
of the Year and was a finalist for the 2009 CGA West
Region Assistant Coach-of-the-Year award.
Since 1982, Chmelka has been the program
director and head coach for the Nebraska School
of Gymnastics (NSG) boys team, producing such
athletes as former Nebraska All-Americans Dusty
Q&A with Head Coach Chuck Chmelka
What is your coaching philosophy?

My philosophy is different with each gymnast
actually. In a nut shell, I want to put the best team and
the cleanest team on the floor, doing the most difficult
skills that we can hit. If we hit all of our routines and
we are clean and we get 10th place, but do as good
as we can, then I am fine with that. Now, in order
for it to get to that, thats where my philosophy is.
I have to first get this team to believe that what we
do in practice corresponds to how we compete.The
gymnasts have to be mentally and physically ready
every day for practice. If we do that, we will get better
in our meets. If you train correctly day in and day out,
working very hard, doing routines, doing everything
correctly, youll hit when the pressure is on because
your body just takes over and does it because youve
trained it that way. Thats where were going with this
team and this program. So my philosophy is to work
harder than weve ever worked before.
What do you look for in a recruit?
I look for character of our recruits. Were looking
for gymnasts with good families and good character
who arent going to get into trouble, who are going to
follow the team rules and do what is asked of them.
To be a student-athlete at Nebraska, you do so
many different things besides just sports and school,
so you have to be smart and use your time wisely. I
look for recruits who have good character and can
manage their time well. And, of course, I look for
their gymnastics ability. I look for their talent level,
how clean their body line is, where are they going
to develop, what are they going to develop into and
how good could they be someday. I look for overall
character, my gut feeling about them and the talent
of the gymnasts.

Burkett Powell and Jason Christie. NSG athletes
have competed in the Junior Pan American Games,
Junior Olympic Nationals, Olympic Festival and
have traveled abroad for various competitions
(Junior Pacific Alliance Championships and USA vs.
Canada).
After completing his eligibility at NU, Chmelka
was a volunteer assistant coach while finishing his
bachelors degree in community health, which he
earned in 1982. In 1988, Chmelka added a bachelor
of science degree in education.
An Omaha South graduate and product of Omaha
Sokol and the legendary Phil Cahoy Sr., Chmelka
was a high school and collegiate teammate of Husker
Olympians Jim Hartung and Phil Cahoy Jr.
Chmelka is married to former Husker gymnast
and Lincoln native Kim Grabowski. A four-year
letterwinner, Grabowski helped the Huskers win the
1983 Big Eight Championship and was crowned the
all-around champion the same year. The couple has
one son, Alex, who is an aspiring gymnast.

Jim Hartung
Assistant Coach | University of Nebraska (1982) | Sixth Year
Honors and Awards
Two-Time U.S. Olympian
1984 Olympic Gold Medalist
Seven-Time NCAA Event Champion
22 All-America Awards
U.S. National Team Visitation Coach
One of gymnastics most highly decorated

individuals, Jim Hartung has dedicated his life
to bettering the sport he loves. Over the last 30
years, Hartung has worked in all aspects of the
gymnastics community from competing to judging
and now coaching, and has earned a level of success
paralleled by few in his field.
A product of the prestigious Omaha Sokol
gymnastics club in Omaha, Hartung came to the
University of Nebraska as a freshman gymnast
in 1979 and made an outstanding debut on the
collegiate scene under then-head coach Francis
Allen. Hartung garnered All-America status on five of
six events during his freshman season and went on
to amass a total of 22 All-America awards and seven
NCAA individual titles over the next three years. His
accolades included a pair of all-around titles in 1980
and 1981.
Hartung also led the Huskers to their first four NCAA
team titles and consequently became Nebraskas first
Nissen-Emery Award winner in 1982. The Omaha
native finished his collegiate career as the most
highly decorated gymnast in Nebraska history and
still owns the programs all-around record of 58.55,
which he earned in 1981.
His tremendous collegiate career led Hartung to
the Olympics before he even had a diploma in hand,
as he was first selected to the U.S. team in 1980.
Hartung repeated the honor in 1984 after graduating
from NU and helped the United States to its first and
only team gold medal at the summer games in Los
Angeles, Calif.
After competing in the Olympics as an athlete,
Hartung went on to spend nearly a decade as a
visitation coach for the U.S. national team and
became one of the top 10 gymnastics judges in the
world.
In his first year with the Huskers in 2006,

Hartung made an immediate impact. His
hands-on work ethic and knowledge of
gymnastics technique brought a new level of
training to the Nebraska gymnastics program.
Hartung has four children, Jim, Nick, Jake
and Hannah.
Jim Hartung competed for NU from 1979 to 1982,

earning 22 All-America awards.

Tom Osborne
Athletic Director | Hastings (1959) | Fourth Year
Honors and Awards

Three terms in the U.S. House of Representatives
Nebraska Head Football Coach (25 Years)
Three-time National Champion Football Coach (1994, 1995, 1997)
Players earned 65 CoSIDA Academic All-America honors
Hall of Fame football coach Tom Osborne has

continued to leave a lasting impression on the history
of Nebraska Athletics since returning to lead the
Husker program as the schools 13th athletic director
on Oct. 16, 2007. Osborne, who led Nebraska to
three national championships (1994, 1995, 1997)
and 255 victories in his 25 years as the Huskers
head football coach, has continued to use his
impressive leadership skills to guide the NU athletic
department as a whole over the past three seasons.
With the core values of integrity, trust, respect,
teamwork and loyalty serving as guiding principles
for Nebraskas 23-sport program as a whole,
the Huskers have enjoyed renewed success in
Osbornes first three years as athletic director. In
2009-10, Nebraska finished 17th in the NACDA
Directors Cup final standings, the Huskers best
showing since 2000-01.
One of Osbornes first major decisions as athletic
director was to hire Bo Pelini as the Huskers football
coach. Pelini, who had spent the 2003 campaign
as NUs defensive coordinator, has energized
Nebraskas storied tradition with three consecutive
nine-win seasons and three Big 12 North Division
titles in his first two years. In 2009, Pelini notched
10 wins, including a dominant 33-0 win over Arizona
in the Holiday Bowl while finishing in the top 15 in
both major national polls.
The tradition-rich NU volleyball program has
claimed three Big 12 titles and advanced to
three NCAA Elite Eight appearances, while the
womens basketball program has earned two NCAA
Tournament trips, while notching the best season in
school history with a 2010 Big 12 title and a berth
in the NCAA Sweet 16. The NU wrestling program
shared the 2009 Big 12 title and finished in the top
16 at three straight NCAA Championships. The NU
mens track and field team has captured a pair of Big
12 outdoor crowns, while the mens and womens
teams have produced five top-20 finishes indoors
and outdoors over the past three years.
The mens and womens gymnastics teams both
produced top-10 NCAA finishes in 2010, while the
Husker bowling team won the 2009 NCAA title and
finished in the top eight at the NCAA Championships
each of the past three years. The NU rifle team
has produced a pair of top-six NCAA finishes in
the last three years, while the mens and womens
tennis teams both earned NCAA Tournament trips
in 2010. The women won the first NCAA match
in school history while the men made their firstever tournament appearance. The Husker softball
team has made back-to-back NCAA Tournament
appearances, while the baseball and womens golf
teams both earned NCAA Regional bids in 2008.
In addition to their competitive success, the
Huskers have continued to set high standards
academically at both the conference and national
levels. Nebraska led the Big 12 with eight CoSIDA
Academic All-Americans in 2009-10. NU has
increased its nation-leading total to 279 CoSIDA
Academic All-Americans all-time, across all sports.
The Huskers also led the Big 12 with a league-record
178 academic all-conference selections, along with
12 2011 Media Guide
a conference-record 687 Big 12 Commissioners

Honor Roll selections. NU graduated 121 studentathletes from August of 2009 through May of 2010,
while increasing its Big 12-leading exhausted
eligibility graduation rate to 95 percent.
The Huskers also have continued to set the
standard on the national level in the area of life
skills. In 2010-11, Nebraska opened its new Student
Life Complex, which is designed to help Husker
student-athletes maximize their performance in the
classroom and the community.
The Student Life Complex is the first step in
Osbornes aggressive building plan for Nebraskas
athletic facilities. In the summer of 2010, the athletic
department broke ground on the Hendricks Training
Complex at the Bob Devaney Sports Center,
which will directly benefit the mens and womens
basketball and wrestling programs with new practice
and team areas. The project is also expected to lead
to additional opportunities for improved facilities for
many other Husker Olympic sport programs. The
Hendricks Training Complex is scheduled to open
before the 2011-12 season.
In the spring of 2010, the city of Lincoln also
received voter approval to begin construction of a
16,000-seat downtown arena, which will serve as the
new competitive home for both Nebraska mens and
womens basketball programs beginning in 2013-14.
Not long after the historic vote in Lincoln, Osborne
helped Chancellor Harvey Perlman announce an
even more historic move with the shift by Nebraska
from the Big 12 to the Big Ten Conference beginning
in 2011-12.
Nebraskas move to the Big Ten is expected to
add University-wide academic opportunities, while
providing financial stability for the athletic department
for years to come.
Before being asked by Chancellor Perlman to
return to Nebraska as athletic director in 2007,
Osborne served three terms in the U.S. House of
Representatives (Nebraskas 3rd congressional
district) from 2000 to 2006.
He returned to academia following a 2006
gubernatorial bid, serving as a senior lecturer at
Nebraska in the College of Business Administration,
teaching leadership and business ethics, in the fall of
2007. Osborne also worked as a consultant for local
college athletic departments for two years.
Osborne and his wife, Nancy, continue to pour
their time and support into the TeamMates mentoring
program, which they founded in 1991. TeamMates
provides encouragement to school-aged youth to
help them graduate from high school and pursue a
post-secondary education.
Osbornes leadership of the TeamMates program
began while he was putting the final touches on
one of the best coaching careers in college football
history. The Hastings, Neb., native, who earned
masters and doctoral degrees in educational
psychology from the University of Nebraska, was
named NUs 25th head coach following the 1972
season.
In 25 seasons with Osborne at the helm, the
Huskers mounted a 255-49-3 record - the sixth-most
Tom Osborne, and his wife, Nancy.
wins in major college history. Osbornes .836 winning

percentage ranked fifth all-time. His career came
to a close with a 42-17 win over No. 3 Tennessee
in the 1998 Orange Bowl, when he became the
first coach in college football history to retire as a
reigning national champion. Following his career, he
became one of just four coaches in history to have
the mandatory three-year waiting period waived
for induction into the National Football Foundation
College Hall of Fame in December of 1998.
Osbornes 1994 and 1995 teams allowed
Nebraska to become just the second school in history
to post back-to-back perfect national championship
seasons (Oklahoma 1955-56). Nebraska put
together the best five-year run in college football
history from 1993 to 1997, going 60-3 with five
straight 11-win seasons.
Osborne led NU to 13 conference crowns,
including six of his last seven seasons on the
sideline. All 25 of his Husker teams won at least
nine games and went to a bowl, while 15 won 10-ormore games.
In the classroom, the NU football program
totaled 65 CoSIDA Academic All-America awards in
Osbornes 25 years. In fact, he accumulated more
football Academic All-Americans in his 25 years as
coach than any other football program in the nation
has produced in its history.
Prior to becoming head coach, Osborne spent
five seasons under Devaney, helping the Huskers
win back-to-back national championships in 1970
and 1971. In 1973, Osborne succeeded Devaney,
who also served as Nebraskas Athletic Director
from 1967 to 1993.
Osborne and his wife, Nancy, have three
adult children, Mike, Ann and Suzanne and four
grandchildren.

History
Marc Boehm
Executive Associate A.D. | Kansas State (1984) | Eighth Year
A member of the Nebraska Athletics senior

administration since May 2003, Marc Boehm (pronounced
BAME) serves as executive associate athletic director
and is the top assistant to the athletic director. Boehm
fulfills the directors responsibilities in his absence and
also serves as the departments chief operating officer.
Boehm oversees the efforts of several areas
within athletics, including marketing, media relations,
HuskerVision, facilities and events. Boehm also oversees
the Nebraska mens and womens basketball programs
and the Husker soccer program. He also played a major
role in the athletic departments negotiations for its
contract extension with IMG College Sports. To date, it is
the largest multi-media rights contract in college athletics.
As the primary administrator for the NU basketball
programs, Boehm played an integral role in the hiring
of Doc Sadler to be the Huskers new coach on Aug.
8, 2006. Sadler had the Huskers on the brink of the
postseason in the final weeks of the campaign and then
signed a recruiting class ranked among the top 15 in the
nation by several services.
Boehm has worked tirelessly with Fox Sports Net and
the Big 12 Conference to provide the mens basketball
team with an extensive television package each of the
past six seasons. His efforts in providing a fan-friendly
atmosphere at the Bob Devaney Sports Center have
helped Nebraska to record-setting attendance for
womens basketball at the Devaney Center.
Under Boehms supervision, Coach Connie Yoris
womens basketball team enjoyed the best season

in school history in 2009-10. The Huskers made their
seventh straight postseason trip, advancing to the
schools first NCAA Sweet 16. Yori captured 2010
National Coach-of-the-Year honors by leading the
Huskers to a Big 12 record-tying 30-game winning streak
and the 2010 Big 12 regular-season title. NU ranked in
the top 10 in the final national polls and seventh nationally
in home attendance with 7,390 fans per game. In Big
12 play, NU led the league with 11,383 fans per game.
The men have added three postseason trips during
Boehms tenure, including a trip to the 2009 NIT.
Boehms efforts to enhance NUs gameday
atmosphere were not restricted to the basketball
programs. He was instrumental in conceptualizing and
developing the Husker Nation Pavilion, which quickly
became the premier pregame event around home
football games.
Boehm took the lead role in obtaining First National
Bank and Ameritas as premier sponsors for the Nebraska
Athletic Department for a combined deal worth more
than $7 million over a three-year period. First National
Bank and Ameritas joined ALLTEL, Pepsi and adidas as
premier corporate sponsors for Husker athletics.
Boehm held the same position at Pittsburgh from
1997 to 2003. Boehm assisted in the rise of the Panthers
basketball program with the mens team posting back-toback Sweet 16 appearances in the NCAA Tournament.
During construction of the Panthers new athletic
facilities, Boehm played

a central role in Pitts
athletic teams moving to
the UPMC Sports Performance Complex, Heinz Field
and the Petersen Events Center.
Boehm served as interim athletic director at
Pittsburgh for nearly five months before coming to
Nebraska. During that time, he hired new mens (Jamie
Dixon) and womens basketball (Agnus Berenato) and
soccer (Sue-Moy Chin) head coaches for the Panther
program. Under Dixons direction, the Panthers have
advanced to eight straight NCAA Tournaments, while
Berenato has rejuvenated the womens program with
three straight NCAA Tournament appearances from
2007 to 2009.
Boehm also spent five years as associate
executive director of the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. He
directed and managed a 125-member fund-raising
committee of Arizona business people responsible
for generating more than $4.5 million in cash and
in-kind partnerships. Previously he spent four years
as associate executive director and public relations
director of the Sun Bowl from 1987 to 1991.
Born in Grand Island, Boehm earned his bachelors
degree in communications from Kansas State in 1984
and added a masters degree in sports management
from St. Thomas (Fla.) University in 1985. Boehm and
his wife, the former Janelle Broderick of Minot, N.D.,
have three boys, Broderick, Christian and Lukas John.
Bob Burton
Associate A.D. | Nebraska (1985) | 13th Year
Burton filled a similar position at Oklahoma

State as the assistant athletic director for sports
administration and compliance from 1993 to 1997.
He oversaw OSUs Olympic sports programs as
well as the training and strength and conditioning,
wrestling, mens and womens track and field and
mens and womens tennis programs.
Burton came to Nebraska from Texas Tech,
where he served as an associate athletic director
for compliance for one year. While at Texas Tech,
Burton helped complete the NCAA investigation
into the Red Raider athletic department and
analyzed the entire compliance system at the
institution. He also helped identify and implement
financial aid and eligibility systems, including
changes in personnel and restructuring of the
compliance department.
Burton, who was a member of the NCAA
Division I womens soccer committee for three
years and was a member of the NCAA Division
I bowling committee, served as a legislative
administrator for the NCAA from 1989 to

1993. At the NCAA, he was involved in the
development of legislation, interpretation of
regulations and reviewed legal issues related to
the application of the associations regulations.
He served as an NCAA liaison to committees
and conducted comprehensive education to
several intercollegiate athletic conferences. He
has served on the National Association of Athletic
Compliance Coordinators Executive Committee
and the subcommittee of Big 12 Directors of
Compliance.
He received his bachelors degree in finance
from Nebraska in 1985 and his juris doctorate
from the Nebraska College of Law in 1989. A
native of Falls City, Neb., Burton and his wife,
Krista, have a daughter, Elly, and sons Robert
Falk, McClain John and Abram Lawslo.
Associate Athletic Director Bob Burton joined the

Nebraska athletic department in 1998. He spent 10
years as associate athletic director for compliance/
sports administration from 1998 to 2007.
Burton is responsible for the direct administrative
supervision to the sports of golf, tennis, mens
gymnastics, track and field, cross country,

History
Senior Kyle Shanahan led the Huskers in the all-around throughout 2010, posting NUs top scores on floor, pommel horse, parallel bars and high bar.
Huskers Claim Top 10 NCAA Finish in Chmelkas First Season as Head Coach
Nebraska ushered in a new era in 2010, as
Coach Chuck Chmelka took the reins of the
tradition-rich Husker program.
Following in the footsteps of legendary Coach
Francis Allen, who spent 40 years guiding the
Husker program, provided several challenges,
but Chmelka immediately began to add to NUs
history.
At the 2010 NCAA Championships, Anthony
Ingrelli became the first Husker to capture AllAmerica honors since 2007. Ingrelli, a junior
from Milwaukee, Wis., posted a 15.05 to finish
sixth on still rings to become NUs first AllAmerican on the event since Josh Rasile in
2004.
Ingellis first All-America award brought
Nebraskas all-time total to 173 - one of the top
All-America totals in all of collegiate gymnastics.
It also represented a first major step in restoring
the Husker program to its position among the
sports elite.
As a team, the Huskers produced a ninthplace finish at the NCAA Championships. As
they did throughout the season, all-arounders
Kyle Shanahan and Andreas Hofer led the
Huskers at the national championships.
Shanahan, a senior from Monument, Colo.,
finished fifth in the individual all-around
competition during the second session of the
team qualifier. Shanahans 86.750 marked his
second-best all-around total of the season.
Shanahan finished among the top 12 on high
bar (8th), pommel horse (11th) and parallel bars
(tied for 11th) during the competition.
Hofer, a freshman from Heidelberg, Germany,
capped an outstanding rookie season with the
Huskers by finishing third in the Session II allaround competition with an 86.900.
Hofers score matched his second-best
30 2011 Media Guide
all-around total of the season, trailing only the

88.400 he produced earlier in the season at the
Bob Devaney Sports Center when the Huskers
clashed with future Big Ten Conference brethen
Iowa and Minnesota.
Hofer finished in the top 25 in all six events at
the team qualifier, including a tie for 11th (14.550)
on parallel bars, 15th on floor exercise (14.950),
a tie for 16th on rings (14.250), a tie for 17th on
pommel horse (13.650), a tie for 19th on vault
(15.600) and a tie for 22nd on high bar (13.900).
Alhough he started the season a bit slow while
making the transition to collegiate gymnastics, he
began to hit his stride in the first home meet of his
career against Ohio State, Air Force and IllinoisChicago on Feb. 21 at the Devaney Center.
He produced an 86.20 all-around total in the
quadrangular, beginning a stretch of five straight
competitions in which he scored 85.00 or better
in the all-around.
His 88.40 all-around mark against Iowa and
Minnesota at the Devaney Center on March 20,
not only marked a career high, it also represented
the highest all-around total by a Husker since the
NCAA adjusted the scoring in 2008.
While Hofer was just embarking on his Husker
career, Shanahan was putting the finishing
touches on his four-year career at NU.
Shanahan provided consistent leadership for
NU throughout his senior season, producing on
all six events at every Husker competition during
the season except the triangular with Iowa and
Minnesota where he was unable to compete on
vault.
He notched a season high with an 87.05 in the
all-around against national powers Oklahoma
and Stanford at the Devaney Center, and scored
83.00 or higher in seven of his eight all-around
competitions on the year.
Shanahan, who was a finalist for the

prestigious Nissen-Emery Award presented to
the nations top all-around gymnastics studentathlete, entered the NCAA Championships with
the seventh-best individual all-around average
(85.450) in the nation.
Shanahan wasnt the only senior all-arounder
expected to play a major role in Nebraskas
fortunes in 2010. John Robinson, a senior
from Charlotte, N.C., opened the year strong,
registering an 86.20 all-around total at Minnesota
on Jan. 30.
But injuries began to limit Robinson, and he
was unable to compete in the all-around the
rest of the season. He continued to compete on
multiple events through NUs triangular with Iowa
and Minnesota on March 20, but a hand injury
forced him out of competition for the Mountain
Pacific Sports Federation Championships and
the NCAA Championships.
While his contributions in the arena were
limited down the stretch, his role as a leader
continued to the end of the season and beyond.
In fact, following the year, Robinson began a new
stage of his gymnastics career as an assistant
coach with the Huskers.
Daniel Brule, Tony Maras, Josh Rusler and
Stefan Wallof, who all competed for the Huskers
at the NCAA Championships, joined Shanahan
and Robinson in forming a strong senior class for
the Huskers in 2010.
The seniors also helped the Huskers to a
fourth-place finish at the 2010 Mountain Pacific
Sports Federation Championships held on April
3, in Norman, Okla.
Nebraskas core group of seniors led Nebraska
throughout the year, beginning with road trips
to the Rocky Mountain Open, Minnesota and

In Nebraskas regular-season finale with the
Hawkeyes and Golden Gophers, the seniors
were honored at the Devaney Center before
producing a season-high team score of 350.550.
While Nebraskas success in competition
began to take shape in Chmelkas first season,
so did the Huskers success in the classroom and
the community.
In fact, the Huskers captured their first
Nebraska Life Skills Team competition for the
teams overall commitment to NUs awardwinning Life Skills program.
Individually, Adrion Hernandez was recognized
for his contributions to the Life Skills program by
earning one of NUs HERO Leadership awards.
In the classroom, the Huskers achieved at the
highest level, as seven members of the squad
claimed Scholastic All-America honors from the
College Gymnastics Association.
Wallof (3.90-3.99 GPA), Maras (3.70-3.79),
Cory Baumgarten (3.70-3.79), Matthew Forrest
(3.60-3.69), Shanahan and Rusler (3.50-3.59) all
captured first-team honors for the Huskers. Josh
Dilworth (3.40-3.49) and Hofer (3.30-3.39) added
second-team accolades to continue Nebraskas
storied academic tradition.
In fact, Nebraska posted a team grade-point
average of 3.083 to rank eighth among all mens
gymnastics programs in the nation. The Huskers
were one of only nine teams nationally to register
a team GPA above 3.0 for the year.
At the conference level, Wallof, Maras,
Shanahan, Rusler and Baumgarten all captured
academic All-MPSF honors.
The season began with a second-place

Ingrelli added his third still rings title of the
season (15.40) to round out NUs strong effort.
Ingrellis final regular-season performance

effort at the 2010 NCAA Championships to
close the season.
Nebraska will be hoping for more All-America
honors from several young Huskers in the
years to come.

History
The Mountain Pacific Sports Federation... Tomorrows Olympians Today

The Mountain Pacific Sports Federation
(MPSF) was established in 1992 to serve
the competitive needs of member institutions
from the Big West, Pacific-10, Mountain West,
Western Athletic and West Coast conferences
and other selected universities in the western
United States, to provide championship
competition for Division I intercollegiate
Olympic sports in a conference setting.
The conference operates under Executive
Director Al Beaird and has been home to the
Nebraska mens gymnastics program since
1995. Since then, the Huskers have taken
home a pair of MPSF team championships and
garnered 13 individual titles.
In 2009-10, four MPSF teams won NCAA

championships with more than a dozen teams
and hundreds of student-athletes competing in
NCAA postseason competition.
USC won both the NCAA mens and womens
water polo titles, while Stanford took the NCAA
mens volleyball crown. The Oregon womens
indoor track and field also won its first NCAA title.
Oklahoma won its 10th MPSF mens gymnastics
championship in its home arena at McCasland
Field House in Norman, Okla., April 3, 2010.
Nebraska finished fourth at the 2010 MPSF

Note: Nebraska participated in the Big

Eight Conference before 1995. After
Iowa State dropped mens gymnastics
following the 1994 season, the Big Eight
Conference opted not to sanction a
league championship meet because NU
and Oklahoma were the only schools
sponsoring a varsity team. NU entered
the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation in
1995. The Huskers will join the Big Ten
Conference for the 2012 season.

Husker Champions
Staff/Coaches
College gymnastics highest honor, the

Nissen-Emery Award, has been presented
annually since 1966 to an outstanding senior
collegiate gymnast based on gymnastic
achievement, sportsmanship and academic
excellence.
The original Nissen Award was named
in honor of George Nissen, a former NCAA
champion, for his contributions to mens
gymnastics. The award was re-named the
Nissen-Emery Award in 1998 to honor Dr.
Robert Emery, a Penn State graduate, who
won the Nissen Award in 1969.
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.
Nebraskas
dominance
of
mens
gymnastics throughout the 1980s is best
illustrated by the three Huskers who
captured the Nissen Award within a period
of seven years.
Tom Schlesinger was the third NU
recipient of the Nissen. He won the award in
1988, following former Huskers Jim Hartung
(1982) and Wes Suter (1986).

THE NEBRASKA ACADEMIC EXPERIENCE

Columns in the Hewit and Boekel Academic Center display the names of every Husker studentathlete who has lettered in a varsity sport and graduated from the University of Nebraska.
From the day student-athletes decide the University of Nebraska is the right place
to be, the athletic academic counseling unit provides personal and academic
support to ensure that student-athletes will get the most out of their years as
Huskers.
Featuring one of the most innovative and comprehensive academic support
systems in the country, Nebraska is dedicated to helping its student-athletes
become outstanding leaders in their chosen fields. The academic support team is
comprised of 13 full-time staff members and a tutorial staff of approximately 70
tutors addressing all subject areas.
Academic Counseling
Eight academic counselors and three assistant academic counselors are in place
to monitor daily academic progress, receive consistent course feedback, assist
with the advising/registration process and monitor continuing eligibility and
progress toward graduation. Essentially, academic counselors assist studentathletes in navigating the University of Nebraska system.
Tutorial Support
A tremendous resource for all academic abilities, unlimited tutorial support is

available from day one up to college graduation. Subject and mentor tutors help
provide academic support and study strategies to be successful. Supplemental
Instruction, a sub-component of the tutorial program,

provides targeted group review sessions to help ease the
transition to college academics while improving study
strategies and building academic self-esteem.
Study Hall
There are two facets to the study hall program at Nebraska.

Student-athletes either attend a structured study hall,
typically two hours in length held four days a week, or have
flex time where they study a specific number of hours each
week as determined by their academic counselor and/
or coach. Weekly study hall reports are provided to the
coaching staff.
Mentoring
Many student-athletes meet with a mentor on a weekly basis

to assist in making a smooth transition from high school to
college. Mentors collect syllabi, gather and report academic
progress information and teach academic success strategies.
Educational Assessments
Assessments are administered upon the request of the

student-athlete, academic counselor, or coach to determine
student strengths and areas for improvement. Results allow
academic counselors to develop a personalized academic
support program and to determine if more in-depth testing
is warranted. When additional assessments are necessary,
referrals are made to a consulting psychologist who conducts
the assessments. If it is determined that a student-athlete
has a learning disability, appropriate accommodations
are made through the Office of Services for Students with
Disabilities.
Multi-Cultural Programs
Designed to enhance cultural awareness, staff members

concentrate efforts on issues of transition, adjustment
and retention for students of color, international students
and women. These support programs include Ladies First,
International Night and Your Degree First. Your Degree
First is a program designed to assist, motivate and promote
minority student-athletes in pursuing the degree of their
choice.
Student-Athlete
Orientation
The academic staff coordinates New Student-Athlete

Orientation to help newcomers adjust to the multiple
demands of being a college student-athlete. Presentations
are made by academic counselors, compliance officials,
NU faculty and administrators, business/community
professionals and student-athletes.
Personal Counseling
Student-athletes will find a supportive and caring

environment at Nebraska. Transitional issues, stress
management, time management, academic focus and
problem resolution are all addressed in a proactive manner
throughout the year. If necessary, counseling referrals are
also made to designated practitioners.
Computer Resources
Student-athletes enjoy a new state-of-the art computer
lab and technology center with nearly 60 computers and
professional supervision. Laptops are also available during
team travel. Student-athletes have the benefit of ongoing
education and assistance from a full-time computer
technician.
The Nebraska Student Life Complex opened after receiving an $8.7
million expansion and renovation in 2010. The Student Life Complex,
which includes the Hewit Academic Center (top right), the DJ Sokol
Enrichment Center (bottom left), the Scott Technology Center (middle
right) and the Abbott Life Skills Center (next page) tripled the size of
NUs previous academic support area.
LIFE SKILLS
The Nebraska Life Skills program provides proactive education, resources

and support throughout college and beyond to best prepare Husker studentathletes for life after sports. Services foster transition, retention, responsible
decision-making, leadership, volunteerism and career development.
Nebraska has long been considered a pioneer in life skills support and
programming. In 1998, Nebraska was one of five Division I schools nationally
to win the prestigious Program of Excellence Award recognizing a strong
commitment to total person development. In 2005, Keith Zimmer, Associate
A.D. for Life Skills, was the recipient of the Dr. Gene Hooks Award recognizing
him as the top life skills administrator in the country.
