IOWA CITY, Iowa -- University of Iowa senior gymnast Jack Boyle was named a finalist for the 2016 Nissen-Emery Award. The award is given annually to the year’s most outstanding collegiate gymnast, both in the gym and in the classroom.
“Since I have been here nobody has been named a finalist,” Boyle said. “I look at it as a reward for all the hard work I have done in the last four years.”
Boyle, a Naperville, Illinois, native is a mechanical engineering major and two-time Academic All-Big Ten honoree. He is tied for first in the country on high bar with a three-score average of 15.
