Reive announced as new men’s gymanstics coach
Iowa Athletics Director Gary Barta announced Thursday that JD Reive has been named head men’s gymnastics coach. The previous coach, Tom Dunn, retired after the team’s 2010 season. He had spent the past 31 years with the Hawkeyes program.
Reive served as an assistant coach at Stanford for the past seven seasons. The Cardinal posted four top-three finishes at the NCAA championships during that time and won the national championship in 2009. He also helped coach 44 student-athletes to all-American honors while at Stanford.
Reive was named 2009 National Assistant Coach of the Year.
“I am extremely excited about the opportunity to represent the University of Iowa,” Reive said in a release. “The athletics department’s continued support of men’s gymnastics is a testament to the great legacy of Hawkeye gymnastics, a legacy that I fully intend to build upon.”
Reive is only the seventh head coach in the program’s 82-year history. He graduated from Nebraska in 2000.
