Although the records are incomplete, at least 144 BHS boy and girl gymnasts are known to have competed on NCAA Division I or Division II college gymnastics teams. By the mid-1990’s the rapid development of private clubs and their immediate tie to the US Olympic program had taken a severe toll on NCAA mens gymnastics programs. Only about twenty of what was once over a hundred team collegiate programs still existed. Club gymnasts dominated those teams and no true high school team existed. Paradoxically, even though the effect of private club gymnastics also eliminated the girls high school teams, the popularity of women’s gymnastics boomed at the NCAA level. Club gymnasts completely dominated the expansion of women’s NCAA gymnastics.
