IOWA CITY, Iowa -- In 1969, a perfect storm was brewing for University of Iowa men’s gymnastics program inside the UI Field House. Head coach Mike Jacobson led a determined group of Hawkeyes to the university’s first-ever national championship.
Last weekend -- over 40 years later -- the 1969 team was reunited in Iowa City to reflect on its successes, see Neil Schmitt inducted into the Hall of Fame with the 2015 class, and interact with the current Hawkeye squad.
Schmitt became the fourth member of the 1969 team to earn a Hall of Fame nod.
