DOMINANT IN DEVANEY As the Huskers look for a victory this weekend at home against Michigan State, history is in their favor. The Huskers have been dominant within the walls of the Bob Devaney Sports Center, particularly over the last five seasons. From 2008-12, Head Coach Dan Kendig has led the Huskers to a 28-3 record at home, including a 19-3 record against ranked teams. Nebraska s strength at home also lends itself during the annual Masters Classic, where the NU is a perfect 12-0 over the last five years. Of special note were the 2009 and 2010 seasons, when Kendig and the Huskers rolled to undefeated respective seasons of 6-0 and 8-0 at home. During that time, NU defeated four top-15 teams, including No. 3 UCLA, No. 7 Oklahoma, No. 11 Missouri and No. 15 Michigan at the Devaney Center. 2

Sophomore Jennifer Lauer is the No. 1 beam performer in the nation this week after hitting a 9.95 against Michigan on Jan. 12. Lauer s performance was a career-best and earned her the beam title on the meet. DEFENDING CONFERENCE CHAMPIONS LOOK FOR CONTINUED SUCCESS After winning its second consecutive conference title and its first in the Big Ten, Nebraska returns to the gym with even higher expectations for 2013. NU welcomes back seven total letterwinners from last season, including six All-Americans, while adding four newcomers to the roster. With a solid core of veterans and a stockpile of talent and depth, Head Coach Dan Kendig believes his 20th season with the Huskers has the makings of a top team on the national scene. We ve come a long way since the beginning of the year and put in a lot of work in the gym, the community and the classroom, Kendig said. Top to bottom, this season can be better than last season. If we keep working hard each day and getting better, I see good things on the horizon for this year. SIX ALL-AMERICANS POISED TO LEAD HUSKERS IN 2013 NU s efforts this season will be anchored by its six returning All-Americans, including three honorees that captured eight awards last season. Jessie DeZiel, Janelle Giblin and Emily Wong headline a group that has won 16 awards since 2010 and also includes seniors Kassandra Nathe and Brittany Skinner and junior Jamie Schleppenbach. Nebraska will look for sustained success from its vaulting corps as it fields four previous All-Americans. The group is led by 2012 first-team All-American Giblin and second-team honoree DeZiel alongside previous firstteamers Schleppenbach and Skinner. The Huskers will also welcome back three previous All-Americans in both all-around competition and on uneven bars. Notably returning to the competition floor on bars this season is 2010 second-team All-American Nathe, who has missed the past two seasons due to injury. Nathe is expected to provide a spark as well as depth to NU s bar lineup in 2013. Nebraska returns two All-Americans on floor and beam as well. KENDIG ARCHITECT OF ONE OF NATION S TOP PROGRAMS Now in his 20th year at the helm of the Nebraska gymnastics program, Head Coach Dan Kendig is the all-time winningest coach in Nebraska history. Kendig holds a 440-170-4 record overall and a 291-68-2 regular-season mark. An eight-time conference coach of the year selection, Kendig most recently earned Big Ten Coach of the Year honors last season after guiding the 2012 Huskers to the program s 22nd conference title. Kendig has also led the Huskers to 15 NCAA Championship appearances in the past 18 season, including NCAA Super Six Finals appearances in 1997, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2011. Kendig was honored as the NCAA Coach of the Year in 1999 and 2003, a year in which the Huskers finished fourth nationally. He guided the 2012 Huskers to a 24-7 record overall, including an eighth-place finish at the 2012 NCAA Championships in Duluth, Ga. The performance marked Nebraska s 28th consecutive NCAA post season appearance, while three of Kendig s gymnasts--jessie DeZiel (FX, AA, V), Janelle Giblin (V, UB) and Emily Wong (BB, FX, AA)--earned All-America honors. NU ASSISTANTS SET TO LEAD HUSKERS IN 2013 Joining Kendig in his leadership of the Huskers this season are second-year assistant coaches Heather Brink and Dan Miller. Brink continues her role in the gym as the team s beam coach while assisting with floor choreography. In her first season as an assistant with the Huskers, Brink helped coach Emily Wong to first-team All-America honors on beam. Brink s assistance with NU s floor routines also guided Jessie DeZiel to first-team All-America honors and Wong to second-team honors on the event. Miller continues to lead NU s efforts on vault and floor in 2013. During his first season at Nebraska in 2012, Miller guided DeZiel to first-team All-America honors on floor and second-team honors on vault. He also assisted in the development of Janelle Giblin, who earned first-team honors on vault, and Wong, who picked up second-team honors on floor. The gymnasts under Miller s tutelage in 2012 garnered a total of 15 floor titles and 14 vault titles throughout the season. Volunteer assistanch coach Owen Field, now in his third season in that position, aids NU s full-time staff in 2013. Field will assist head coach Dan Kendig on the uneven bars while also assisting with the Huskers strength and conditioning program.
