Huskers Welcome Walk-On for 2014

Lincoln, Neb. - Head coach Chuck Chmelka announced Monday that along with the two signees - Travis Gollott and Antonio Castro - Nebraska will add walk-on Andrew Klump to its roster in 2014. The three-time Region 4 all-around champion will add immediate depth to the Huskers' pommel horse lineup.

"We are very excited to add him to our team," said Chmelka. "He is an excellent student as well as pommel horseman."

The Plymouth, Minn. native has reached the semifinals at the Junior Olympics Nationals twice. He now specializes in pommel horse, after claiming the 2012 Minnesota State pommel horse title. 

Klump also claimed second-team Academic All-American honors in 2012. He will graduate in May from Wayzata High School. Klump trains at North Shore Gymnastics under the supervision of coach Dale Bullivant. His former teammate Coleman Tokar is a freshman for the Huskers this year.

NU will host their second intrasquad meet of the 2013 season this Friday and Saturday. The meet will be held at the men's gymnastics practice area in the Bob Devaney Sports Center and is free of charge and open to the public, though limited room will be available for spectators.

Nebraska will perform routines on every event, beginning with floor exercise, pommel horse and rings on Friday at 4 p.m. The meet will continue on vault, parallel bars and high bar on Saturday at 3 p.m.
