Welcome to Region IV Men's Gymnastics."The history of gymnastics in Region IV, a geographic area designated for junior developmental gymnastics by USA Gymnastics, spans over 100 years, beginning with St. Paul Turners, St. Paul, Minnesota, around 1846. This includes junior developmental gymnastics, senior, elite, and gymnastics administered through the governing bodies of: NCAA, AAU, YMCA, Sokol, Jewish Community Centers, Salto, and USA Gymnastics, (formerly USGF).In the year 2000, at the XXVII Olympiad in Sydney, Australia, three of the six USA Men's Gymnastics Team came from Region IV. They are John Roethlisberger, of Minnesota, and Morgan and Paul Hamm, of Wisconsin. There is a rich gymnastics environment within the states of Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin. In 2004, Paul and Morgan again achieved placement on the US Men's Gymnastics Team and Paul, in the face of extraordinary duress, went on to win the Gold Medal in the All Around in Athens. As the 2008 Olympic Games approach in Peking, China, both men are primed to earn spots again to compete for the US. We Congratulate them on their continued success and extend our Congratulations to their coaches, Fred Roethlisberger, Stacy Maloney & Miles Avery.
