No medical equipment or
trainers are provided by the
University, which can cause
problems, team co-captain Mark
Hartwell said. “Gymnastics is a
dangerous sport and trainers
are really needed for the meets.”
In addition, the Aggies are in
need of a coach, who would be
able to coordinate team activi
ties, set the competition roster
and free Hartwell to devote
more time to practicing his own
routines.
The team, which has 14 com
peting members, sponsors the

Texas A&M Gymnastics Club,
encompassing over 100 mem
bers. The club is open to all
Texas A&M students for a $5
per semester fee.
Members are entitled to full
seven-day use of the new gym
nastics facilities in 307 East Kyle,
including practices on week-
nights from 6 to 9.
Everyone with gymnastics ex
perience is invited tojoin, as well
as those who would like to learn,
said Hartwell, a third year veter
inary student from Austin.
The team provides a service
to the University by competing
in meets statewide, Hartwell
added. “We would really like to
have some fans at the meet this
weekend. A crowd watching you
really improves the perform
ance.”
Many good performances can
be expected Saturday night,
Hartwell said. The Aggies were
able to recruit several outstand-
ing gymnasts last year, including
freshman co-captain Jim Gill, an
All-Arounder from Enid, Okla.
Five other freshmen will com
pete with the Aggies this season.
They are Jeurgen Achterman
and Todd Miclette, both from
Humble; Marty Hardell from
Irving; John Kemp from Au
stin; and Esteban Langoria from
McAllen.
Two former team members,
Lowell Brooks, a sophomore
from Garland, and David
Semon, a senior All-Arounder,
are returning to the team. Club
member Shawn Messonier, a
junior from Houston, also
joined the team this spring.
Several individuals on the
Texas A&M team could com
pete on the same level as the top
gymnastics teams in the nation,
Hartwell said.
Saturday night’s competition
will involve six events in Olym
pic rotation: floor exercise,
pommel horse, still rings, vault,
parallel bars, and horizontal bar.
Each team enters seven com
petitors in each event, with the
top five scores being counted.
Scores range from zero to 10 in a
deductive way, with competitors
losing points from the initial 10
for mistakes.
A team win is important to the
Aggies because it will put them
in first place in the conference
going into their meet with Texas
Tech on March 6.
