2 2003 SEASON OUTLOOK The California men s gymnastics team looks to claim its fifth NCAA championship in Coming off its second straight third place NCAA finish and a second place Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Conference showing, Cal returns six letterwinners, including NCAA parallel bar defending champion Cody Moore, while gaining seven newcomers. Our nucleus is Cody Moore, Michael Ashe, David Eaton, Graham Ackerman and Aaron Floyd, said Cal head coach Barry Weiner. If those five guys are ready and healthy, then the youngsters will surround them with a score here and a score there, and we ll be very competitive. But it s essential that those five athletes are ready. Moore, the first gymnast in Cal history to be named an All-American in the all-around (2000, 01, 02), enters his senior season after back-toback MPSF Co-Gymnast of the Year honors. In addition to claiming first place at the NCAA and MPSF individual championships on the parallel bars with scores of and 9.150, respectively, Moore finished second on the pommel horse (9.512) and fifth in the all-around at the 2002 NCAAs. After a dynamite performance at the Winter Cup Challenge in Las Vegas, Nev., Moore earned a spot on the US National team. Moore is probably the most talented gymnast that has ever come to Berkeley, said Weiner. Things come easy to him. He s bright, talented and capable of winning All-American awards on almost every event. Returning to the scene after redshirting last season due to a knee injury is junior Michael Ashe. As a freshman, he became the first Cal gymnast to win an NCAA title in the high bar (9.900). He followed that up with his sophomore All-American season, which included a second national 2 BEARS SEEKING NCAA TITLE IN 2003 Junior All-American David Eaton on the parallel bars. high bar title (9.512), and a fourth-place finish on the pommel horse (9.100). Ashe is liable to win four high bar championships, said Weiner. If we can get him healthy, we ll look to Michael to replace a lot of Jinjing Zhang s scores. Zhang, the 2002 all-around MPSF champion and NCAA runner-up, exhausted his NCAA eligibility after the 2002 season. Eaton posted a stellar sophomore year, tying for the MPSF horizontal bar title (9.300) and placing second at the MPSF individual championships on the pommel horse with a career best The All-American finished sixth on the pommel horse at the NCAAs (9.350). David is a technically beautiful gymnast, said Weiner. Of all the gymnasts in our program, he is technically the most refined. He is an attractive gymnast to watch. Despite an ankle injury that plagued him through much of the season, Ackerman was able to pull off a sixth-place showing on the parallel bars on the final day of NCAAs (8.575). He tallied a team high on floor exercise at the Stanford Invitational, guiding the Bears to a season best in the event. Simply put, Graham is a great acrobat, said Weiner about the All- American. I thought that he was going to be the NCAA champion on the floor exercise, but his ankle held him back. He s capable of winning NCAAs on floor and vaulting. Over the past year, his apparatus work has gotten much stronger. Graham has become a real mainstay in our program. Floyd is another key returner for the Bears. The senior co-captain competed in every match last year, seeing time at all events except pommel horse. He placed second on floor exercise at the MPSF individual championships with a season high Aaron is our leader, said Weiner. His work ethic defines what Cal gymnastics is all about. He is hardworking, smart, helpful and present all the time. A promising note for Cal s roster is the return of Karl Ziehn. Ziehn will serve as the team co-captain after redshirting his senior year due to a shoulder injury. We re hoping Karl can contribute and boost our overall team depth, said Weiner. Also in the mix will be senior Brian Sano, who specializes in the rings. Sano is another gymnast who returns after dealing with an injury last year. He competed in only the first three meets of the season. Two UC Santa Barbara transfers, junior Jeremy Dwork and sophomore Jay Yee, should make an immediate impact for the Bears this year, as well. Dwork specializes in rings and pommel horse while Yee will add depth in the all-around. Five freshmen, Shawn Mowry, Alan Parsons, Chris Rodriguez, Alex Smith and Gilbert Treviño, will vie for a spot in the line-up and will be the youngsters that Weiner expects to contribute to another successful season. Our goal every year is to be competing the last day, said Weiner. The last day there are six teams left, and that gives ourselves a chance to win NCAAs. The Bears, who finished the 2002 season ranked sixth in the country, face a strong 2003 schedule, featuring meets against four teams which placed in the Top 6 along with Cal at the NCAAs last season. The Bears will immediately be put to the test, facing Stanford, who finished sixth at the NCAAs, in the first meet of the year. The schedule gets only tougher for Cal, seeing NCAA runner-up Ohio State the following meet and later in the season Michigan (4th) and Iowa (5th) California Men s Gymnastics Media Guide

3 2003 CAL COACHING STAFF BARRY WEINER Head Coach, 12th Year at Cal Largely credited with developing the University of California men s gymnastics program into one of the nation s finest, Barry Weiner led the Golden Bears to national championships in 1997 and 1998, a total of six Top 5 national finishes and five NCAA individual champions in his eleven seasons at Cal. The results of Weiner s hard work and dedication first paid dividends in 97 when he was named National Coach of the Year after leading the Bears to a perfect 17-0 regular season and the team s first NCAA team title since Weiner then outdid himself the next year, as Cal swept through the entire 98 season without a loss en route to its second-consecutive team championship. Following that season, Weiner was named Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Coach of the Year for the third time (1993, 95, 98) and National Coach of the Year for the second straight campaign. Including the 14-3 regular season of 2002, Weiner s career record stands at an impressive (.790) spanning over the last decade. Weiner took the reins of the men s gymnastics program in 1992 after Cal s worst-ever 1-18 season in 91. Under his guidance, Cal rebounded to post a dual meet record, placing third in the conference and reaching the NCAA Regionals, where the team managed a seventh-place finish. Six individuals from that squad qualified for the NCAA Championships that year, including All-American Jason Bertram. Before arriving at Cal in September 1991, Weiner maintained a lengthy association with the United States Junior National Gymnastics Program. Over an 11-year period, he has coached 15 Junior National Team members, including two Junior National all-around champions. He most recently coached the U.S. Junior National Team against Hungary in 1988 at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs. He also coached the Junior Pan American Team in Ponce, Puerto Rico in 1987 and was a U.S. coach at international competitions in England and Hungary. Weiner was also selected as a coach for the 2000 Olympic Team. The personal coach of numerous state and regional champions, Weiner has coached several athletes who are currently attending schools across the nation. His former charges include Cal gymnastics alumni Evan Richman and Scott Green. On the competitive level, Weiner was a two-time MVP at Temple University from A 1968 NCAA event finalist in the parallel bars and floor exercise, he helped Temple finish fourth in the country in 68 and led the Owls to a third-place national finish in Weiner also earned gold medals at the 1968 Maccabiah Games in the floor exercise and horizontal bar. A native of Philadelphia, he earned a bachelor of science degree from Temple in He is single and resides in El Sobrante. KIP SIMONS Assistant Coach, 3rd Year at Cal Kip Simons is in his third year as an assistant with the Golden Bears. He proved to be a top-level gymnast early on in his career, dominating the 1988 Jr. U.S. championships and the Jr. Pan American Games by winning 10 gold medals. Simons went on to a successful collegiate career at Ohio State University where he was honored as the Big Ten Freshman of the Year, team captain his senior season, a Nissen Award Recipient and the 1994 OSU Male Athlete of the Year. Following his collegiate career, Simons went on to compete on two world championship teams and a Pan American Games gold medal team. His crowning achievement came when he represented America while competing in the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games in Atlanta, Ga. Born and raised in Bloomsburg, Pa., Simons graduated from OSU in 1996 with a degree in exercise physiology. Head coach Barry Weiner stands with the five NCAA Championship trophies his teams have earned during his tenure at Cal. Kip Simons dominated the 1988 Jr. U.S. championships and the Jr. Pan American Games by winning 10 gold medals California Men s Gymnastics Media Guide 3

8 2002 SEASON REVIEW The Golden Bears concluded the 2002 season with a second-place finish at the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Championships, as well as third at the NCAA Championships. Cody Moore brought home a NCAA individual title, claiming the parallel bar crown with an eyepopping score. For his efforts, Moore was also named Co-MPSF Gymnast of the Year for the second consecutive season, as well as earning a spot on the U.S. National team thanks to a world-class performance at the Winter Cup Challenge in Las Vegas. The Bears 30-consecutive win streak was snapped in 2002, although Cal still posted a top-drawer 14-3 record on the season. Despite losing twotime horizontal bar NCAA champion Michael Ashe to an injury, and freshman standout Jinjing Zhang to eligibility concerns for most of the year, the Bears did not flinch and continued to rise to the top. With so few gymnasts at his disposal, head coach Barry Weiner was left with only five healthy gymnasts at most of the team s regular season meets which is the NCAA minimum. But that didn t stop the Bears. For a team of such limited staffing, Cal posted scores that were heroic, facing the long odds. In addition to the parallel bar, Moore received All-American honors with his second place finish on the pommel horse at the NCAA Championships. Graham Ackerman and David Eaton earned All-American honors, finishing sixth The Cal squad walks in at the 2002 NCAA Championships. on the parallel bars and pommel horse, respectively.
