6.21.99 | Men's Gymnastics
PHILADELPHIA (June 21, 1999) -- Temple gymnast Mike Moran (Loomis-Chaffee/Windsor, CT) qualified for the Pan-American team after competing in trials this past weekend in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Moran, a three-time All-American under head coach Fred Turoff, is also a member of the 1998-99 U.S. National team. The junior was the only Owl to qualify for this season's NCAA Championships in Lincoln, Nebraska, but could not compete due to injury. Moran marks the third Temple gymnast to be named to the Pan-American team. Dominick Minicucci (1991-92) made the squad in 1991 and Bill Roth (1988-92) was selected in 1995. Kenny Sykes (1993-97), who competed at the qualifying meet with Moran, just missed qualifying. Moran will compete at the Pan-American Games in Winnipeg, Canada, from July 24-27, 1999.
