Oklahoma makes strong season debut in Dallas

February 11, 2018

As the growth of collegiate club gymnastics continues, the competition offerings available to gymnasts have increased. The new level 8 option in the women's competition as well as a growing adult/non-college open division for both the men and women has led to an increase in interest and participation from new and experienced gymnasts alike.

Following the changes enacted by the TGC this past fall, UT Dallas became the second meet to implement the multi-level competition split this season with successful results, creating an awards process that recognizes even more of our athletes for their accomplishments.

In their first TGC meet of the 2018 season, the University of Oklahoma continued their 3 year nationally undefeated streak into a fourth season. Placing first in the men's competition Oklahoma made a clean sweep, with Jaime Da Silva on Floor, Vault and All Around, Braxton Poe on Pommels, Austin Webster on Rings, and Giovanni Rossoni on Parallel Bars and High Bar.

In the women's level 8 competition, Texas A&M continued on their own winning streak, with Baylor coming in second just ahead of UT Austin. In the individual awards, Texas State took it's first 2018 title on Vault with Marie Ambs, while A&M's Natalie Duranso led on Bars, UT Austin's Zerrin Vurral on Beam, A&M's Anna Lightfoot on floor and UT Austin Freshman Marie Yamamoto in the All Around.

In the level 9 competition, TCU also took it's first 2018 gold with senior Morgan Hart on Vault, while UT Arlington's Lyndsay Lewellen on Bars. On the Balance Beam Texas Tech club President Meaghan Martinez led the way while teammate Wendy Carey captured Floor and the All Around titles.

The next TGC competition will take place on Feb 24th in Waco Texas hosted by Baylor University. The competition will be Women's events only.

Aggies Beat out the Longorns and Sooners Defend their National Title

The years long draw has finally come to a close

April 12, 2017

This past weekend the Texas A&M Women's team won the team title at the NAIGC Nationals Championships in Columbus Ohio. This marks the first time the Aggies have taken the lead for most number of titles held by a single school, previously held by The University of Texas, and tied by the Aggies in 2013. Since 1989 the Texas teams have dominated the competition, and the streak is still well alive today. While the Aggies now hold the overall record and the record for women, they are still tied with their Texas rivals for men's national titles.

Sweeping the Men's side was once again was the University of Oklahoma, blowing past Temple University and ASU by several whole points. This marks the third consecutive victory for the Sooners, who are rapidly approaching their Texas rivals' record. With seemingly no stopping them the Sooners may set a new men's team championship team record as soon as 2020.

In the level 8 competition, the University of Texas at Austin women came in second place with a narrow win by Universite Catholique de Louvain from Belgium.

Individually, the Texas teams took home several awards, with the return of Baylor University to the championship in the first time in nearly 7 years.

Texas High School Gymnastics Coaches Association Hopes to Earmark Scholarships for College Club Programs

THSGCA to Work in Expanding Sport's Presence in Texas

April 3, 2015

In an announcement earlier today, Mark Sherman, the President of the Texas High School Gymnastics Coaches Association (THSGCA) announced an initiative to help fund-raise for high school programs and earmark scholarships for collegiate athletes. Having recently become its own 501(c)(3) nonprofit entity, the THSGCA has released the following statement regarding a competition to take place at the High School State Gymnastics Championship on May 1st and 2nd at Chisholm Trail High School:

Get as many of your alumni to attend the State Championship this year at Chisolm Trail. Have them fill out their contact information in the high school history booth, donate $5.00 (or more) and we could award your program $50.00 per alumni up to $2,000.

The top three schools from the host meet area (Region I and IV) AND the top three schools from the non-host meet area (Region II and III) will get the money - six schools in total.

After 49 years, we are now actively seeking alumni info in order to raise money, awareness and support for the THSGCA. We hope to earmark donations for scholarships to Texas HS Gymnasts who continue competing in Texas College Club Programs!

Get your alumni there!

Questions? Email Mark Sherman.

THSGCA Treasurer, Cameron Sweny added: "This is the first step in a long process to build a working relationship between Texas High School Gymnastics and the "Texas Gymnastics Conference" of college club gymnastics."

This news comes off of the successful fund-raising effort last year by Texas A&M University who raised $4,000 for their program through alumni donations.

"As the TGC has grown in recent years we find ourselves with more and more gymnasts participating well into their college careers. As the size of competitions scales upward and new clubs appear at schools throughout the state, we need to find new ways to handle and fund that growth without increasing costs for our student athletes who are paying their way through college," added Andrew Hutcheson, TGC President. "We are exited about the THSGCA's initiatives and look forward to working with them to provide gymnasts with opportunities after high school."

If you would like to make a donation to support high school athletes, or any information about high school programs in Texas, please contact Mark Sherman. For information regarding collegiate club programs and the TGC, please use the contact us form by clicking the link to the left. More information on the THSGCA can be found on their website.

Congratulations to our newest member schools!

The University of Oklahoma and Tulane University join the TGC.

January 10, 2015

The University of Oklahoma and Tulane University have been inducted into the TGC!

Founded 35 years ago, the TGC has been the driving force behind collegiate club gymnastics in the state of Texas. With very limited NCAA opportunities in the state, the TGC has made its mission to improve and promote the sport in the state at a collegiate level. The success of the TGC has allowed gymnasts to continue their passion for the sport and continue to challenge themselves while building memories that will last a lifetime.

This year, the TGC has inducted the University of Oklahoma and Tulane University to join our organization and create those memories with us. As we move forward, our two new members, currently the only club university gymnastics programs in their respective states, will gain more opportunities to participate in competitions and join in our ever growing community.

Welcome to our new website!

We have reinvented our web presence.
