When Nebraska Head Coach Dan Kendig was hired in 1993, his goals were to return the Nebraska gymnastics program to national prominence and to have Nebraska in a position to win a national title, while also maintaining the highest standards of academic excellence for Husker student-athletes.Kendig has not only accomplished those goals, but made them a standard for excellence in his 23-year tenure, as Nebraska is considered among the nation’s elite in both the gym and the classroom.In the 22 seasons of the existence of the NCAA Super Six Finals, Nebraska is one of only six programs, along with Georgia,Alabama,UCLA,UtahandMichigan,toqualifyfornineormoreteamfinals,andtheHuskershaveearnedNCAA Championship berths in 15 of the past 18 years. Under Kendig, 40 NU gymnasts have combined to earn 139 All-Americahonorssince1995,nearly10timesNU’sprevioustotalduringtheprogram’sfirst18seasons.At the conference level, the results are equally as impressive. Nebraska has won 13 of the past 19 conference titles, including an unprecedented six straight Big Eight/Big 12 crowns from 1994 to 1999. In addition, Nebraska has had at least one individual conference champion in each of the past 19 seasons and 10 all-around champions, while seven gymnasts have been conference newcomers of the year.

Since Kendig arrived at NU, his teams have compiled an outstanding 514-195-4 (.722) record, including a 335-75-2 regular-season record and a 179-120-2 postseason mark. He has also earned national, regional or conference coach-of-the-year honors in 10 of the past 19 seasons.Eleven of Nebraska’s nation-best 15 CoSIDA Academic All-America awards in women’s gymnastics have come underKendig,whilehehasalsoproducedtwoNCAAWomanoftheYearfinalists--ShellyBartlett in1997andRichelle Simpson in 2005. In addition, Kendig coached Joy Taylor when she became the 1996 CoSIDA Academic All-American of the Year, as well as Simpson, who was recognized with a 2005 NCAA Top Eight Award. Kendig has guided numerous other academic all-conference and NACGC/W Scholastic All-America honorees in his time at Nebraska.For his accomplishments with the Husker gymnastics program, Kendig was honored by his peers as the NCAA Coach of the Year in 1999 and 2003.
