SUPPORTING UNC GYMNASTICSThe University of North Carolina is proud of its

long-standing relationship with Nike, Inc. The two parties signed a new 10-year contract in May 2009 for Nike to continue as the exclusive supplier of athletic footwear, apparel and accessory products. Nike will provide the athletic department with shoes, uniforms, coaching gear, balls and other equipment. Nike also gave the University $2 million for the Chancellor’s Academic Enhancement Fund to support faculty. This partnership has benefitted all 28 varsity sports and provided millions of dollars for academics and student scholar-ships at the Uni-versity.

EAST ATLANTIC GYMNASTICS LEAGUEThe East Atlantic Gymnastics League became

a reality on July 31, 1995, when eight prominent universities banded together to form a consortium created solely for the purpose of showcasing wom-en’s gymnastics on the East Coast. The EAGL is cur-rently compromised of George Washington, New Hampshire, North Carolina, NC State, Pittsburgh and Towson. In August 1996, the NCAA Council ac-cepted the EAGL as an official affiliated member of the NCAA.

*All times are Eastern; all home meets are contested at Carmichael Arena

Carmichael ArenaThe North Carolina faithful long have referred to Carmichael Arena as Blue Heaven and the name certainly fits. Located among the

tall pine trees at the heart of the North Carolina campus, Carmichael has been home to the gymnastics program since it reached NCAA status in 1982. Carolina recently completed a multi-million dollar facelift of Carmichael Arena, which has made it one of the top Olympic sports gymnasiums in the country.

The arena is named for the late William D. Carmichael Jr., a highly popular figure on campus who served as the university’s comptrol-ler, then as its vice-president. Prior to the 1976-77 season, 1,200 seats were added to bring historic Carmichael to its present capacity of 8,010.

The gymnastics office is housed in Carmichael, steps from the competition floor. The facility also serves as home to the women’s basketball, volleyball and wrestling teams, as well as housing offices for many other coaches in UNC’s highly-successful Olympic Sports programs. The Carolina men’s basketball program called Carmichael home from 1965 until its move to the Dean E. Smith Center midway through the 1985-86 season. Under coach Dean Smith, the Tar Heels compiled a home record of 169-20 at Carmichael.

Only the third gymnastics coach in North Carolina history, Derek Galvin enters his 35th year in Chapel Hill. Galvin, who has been at the helm of the program since it became an NCAA sport in 1982, has an overall record of 402-231-1. His programs combine the best of athletic and academic achievement every season.

Over the last 14 years, Galvin’s Carolina program has experienced an explo-sion of success. The Tar Heels have won five East Atlantic Gymnastics League (EAGL) titles since 2002, including back-to-back championships in 2010 and 2011. The Tar Heels also won league titles in 2002, 2005 and 2006.

Carolina has advanced to the NCAA regionals in 12 of the lalst 14 seasons, and has come tantalizingly close to competing in the national championships. The Tar Heels have come within one place of advancing from regionals to nationals on several occasions. Most notably, Carolina came within a whisker of making the NCAA finals in 2004, placing third at the Southeast Regional, just .025 points behind the second place team. The previous year, the Tar Heels missed the neces-sary second-place spot by .05 points.

Galvin’s successes have been recognized with five EAGL coach of the year hon-ors and three Southeast regional coach of the year awards. Most recently, he was the 2010 EAGL Coach of the Year after leading the Tar Heels to a come-from-behind victory at the championship meet.

In the last 30 years, gymnasts coached by Galvin have been chosen for the Na-tional Association of College Gymnastics Coaches’ Scholastic All-America Gym-nastics Team 156 times. Two of Galvin’s former gymnasts – Natalie Halbach and Stacey Kaplan – have been honored as a GTE Academic All-Americas. Halbach, a 2003 graduate, was the first female student-athlete in the Atlantic Coast Confer-ence to receive the Walter Byers Postgraduate Scholar-ship, the most prestigious academic award given by the NCAA.

Six Tar Heels – Kristin Aloi, Acacia Cosentino, Morgan Lane, Josselyn Mackey, Janell Sargent and Lauren Weisel were named to the 2015 NACGC-W Scholas-tic All-American gymnastics team, which requires a year-long or cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher through the season.

Tar Heel gymnasts have had their share of success in the arena as well. Courtney Bumpers, a 2006 graduate, achieved the ultimate individual honor in 2005 - win-ning floor exercise at the NCAA championships with a perfect score of 10.0. It was the second straight floor exercise national crown for Bumpers, who also earned All-America honors in 2003 with a fourth place finish on balance beam. Christine Robella earned All-Amer-ica honors in 2006 on floor exercise. It was her first All-America honor and the fourth in Carolina history. Several gymnasts have won individual league honors in Galvin’s tenure. Christine Nguyen was a three-time EAGL Gymnast of the Year honoree from 2008-10.

Kara Wright, one of Carolina’s top 10 all-around performers, was the 2010 EAGL Scholar-Athlete of the Year. In 2011, Morgan Evans captured the all-around title at the NCAA regional. In 2013, Elizabeth Durkac was named the league’s top gymnast at the conference banquet held in Chapel Hill. And just last year, Haley Watts was named the league’s Senior of the Year.

Those are just a few of the recent success stories that have dotted Galvin’s coach-ing resume. He has a long history of success at Carolina. In his first year as head coach in 1982, he guided the Tar Heels to a fourth place finish at the Southeast Regional. His 1985 and 1986 teams both finished third at the meet after placing first in the Atlantic Coast Conference.

In addition to UNC’s accomplishments as a team, Carolina has been represented every year at NCAA regionals by at least one individual gymnast. In 2003, Bumpers and junior Anna Wilson were the first Carolina gymnasts since 1986 to qualify for the NCAA national championships as individuals. Bumpers recorded the then-highest finish ever of any ACC or EAGL gymnast with her fourth place finish on the balance beam in the final round before achieving her championship status in the next two years on floor exercise.

In 2004, the Tar Heels had arguably the best year in school history. Galvin was named the NCAA Southeast Region Coach of the Year for the third straight season after directing the team to a 22-1 record and a second place finish in the EAGL Championships. The Tar Heels earned a regional appearance and the .955 winning percentage was the highest in school history. It was a record-breaking year in team and individual results with the Tar Heels setting school records on every event except balance beam and scoring above a 197.0 in four meets. Bum-pers, who earned the program’s third-ever 10.0 in 2003, turned in seven perfect scores on floor exercise and surpassed her previous school record on the vault and in the all-around competition. She has the school’s highest all-around total with a 39.725 and the highest vault score with a 9.975. Olivia Trusty set a record on uneven bars with a score of 9.95.

Galvin was named the EAGL Coach of the Year for the fourth time in 2005, lead-ing his team to a regular season record of 14-4-1 and the conference champion-ship. Carolina finished the year ranked 23rd in the country and tied for third place at regionals. A year later, the Tar Heels repeated as EAGL champions.

Galvin has been involved in gymnastics in various capacities throughout his life. He was a member of the Carolina men’s team before the discontinuation of the program in 1974. Staying involved in the sport, he spent four years coaching at Gymdancetics, a training center established by Fred Sanders, former coach of the Carolina men’s team. Under Galvin’s guidance, team members dominated state competition and advanced to the United States Gymnastics Federation champion-ships.

In 1978, he became director and head coach of the Triad Gymnastics Academy. The following year he accepted an administrative position with the research and consulting firm of Syllogistics, Inc., but remained active in area gymnastics. His

first season as head coach of the Tar Heels was in 1982.

Galvin has made contributions to many other areas of the gymnastics community. In 1982, he was named to the NCAA Southeast Region Advisory Committee and served as committee chairman for several years, including the 2005 season. He was the gymnastics site coordinator for the 1987 United States Olympic Festival in Chapel Hill. He is an active member of the NACGC and has served as a clinician of several USAG and NCAA Y.E.S. clinics.

A native of Dublin, Ireland, Galvin moved to Arling-ton, Va., with his family when he was 10 years old. He competed on two state championship gymnastics teams under coach Jesse Meeks at Yorktown High School and graduated from Carolina with a psychology degree in 1976. Galvin and his wife, Debra, have two children. Both graduated from college in May 2003 - their son, Derek Sean, from UNC and their daughter, Ryan, from the University of Virginia. Galvin has four grandchil-dren - Lily, Annie Wise, Maggie and Olive.

Smith returned to UCLA for the 2011-12 season and helped coach the Bruins to a third consecutive top-3 finish at the NCAA Gymnastics Championships.

As a student athlete, Smith was a UCLA team co-captain in 1996 and 1997. She led the Bruins to their first NCAA Championship in 1997 following a close runner-up finish in 1996. During her collegiate career, Smith was a three time All-America, twice on floor exercise and once on vault.
