Springfield College has a long and rich gymnastics tradition, which dates back to 1891. Today, the Pride is one of the top squads in the Northeast, winning four of the last five New England Championship titles. Springfield will also host its 97th annual Home Show, a performance unique to the gymnastics world, at Blake Arena on campus in 2007.
At the 2006 USA Gymnastics Collegiate National Championships, Andrew Malaby ‘06 earned All-American status for his performance on the still rings and the vault. Donny Eckhart ‘06 received All-American status for his performance on the parallel bars. At the same meet in 2007, Keith Stumpf earned All-American honors by finishing fourth in the vault.

He led the Pride to three straight USA Gymnastics national championships from 1991 to 1993. In 2007, Coach Posner won the coveted CGA Coaches Honor Award for his 25 years of meritorious service to collegiate gymnastics.
