Join the Friends of Minnesota Men's Gymnastics and Minnesota Men's Gymnastics GymACT for the 8th Annual Minnesota GymACT Invitational

February 14-16, 2025

Location TBD

The Minnesota Men’s Gymnastics GymACT team is proud to enter the 2025 season as the defending National Champions. We continue to offer collegiate gymnasts the opportunity to compete at a high level as part of the expanding GymACT program. After an incredible 2024 season—capped off with an undefeated record and both Conference and National titles—the program is stronger than ever.

One of our signature events, the Minnesota GymACT Invitational (formerly the Ski-U-Mah Invitational), is growing each year and plays a crucial role in the continued success of our team.

Join us for the Saturday Night Session, featuring a highly anticipated six-team GymACT competition. Teams include Minnesota, Iowa, Northern Illinois, and Wisconsin, with Minnesota and Northern Illinois fielding two full squads each. At the 2024 GymACT Nationals, Minnesota claimed 1st, Iowa finished 6th, and Northern Illinois placed 10th. Wisconsin will be competing as a newly established GymACT team, showcasing the exciting growth of the program.

This event is not only a thrilling competition but also a potential preview of the 2025 GymACT Eastern Conference Championships and the 2025 GymACT National Championships.

All junior gymnasts and their coaches attending the meet will receive free admission to the GymACT Session, so don’t miss out on this fantastic opportunity to witness top-tier collegiate gymnastics in action!
