Nominee:     Nick Hand
Region:        East Rep - 1

My name is Nick Hand, I am 28 years old and a native of Chicago IL.  I started gymnastics at 15 years old for my high school program.  I worked my way up through the ranks of Illinois boys gymnastics and walked on to the University of Illinois men’s gymnastics team.  I was a 5 year athlete there, lettering the last 4 years, as well as captaining the team my last year.  I was a Big Ten champion, and placed 3rd as a team at NCAA’s my last two years.

I started coaching while still in high school teaching boys gymnastics.  When I went to the U of I, I took over as head coach of the girl’s program at the Champaign County YMCA.  I was there from 2001 – 2005 (Head Girl’s Coach) and 2006 – 2009 (Director of Gymnastics; Boys, Girls, Tramp & Tumbling).  In 2005 I spent one season at Olympiad Ellisville coaching girl’s Bars and Vault for levels, developmental team – 8. I returned to Illinois so my wife could continue her education.

Now I am the head girl’s coach at the St Louis Gym Centre.  I coach Bars and Vault for levels 8 – 10, and oversee the development and direction of the rest of our levels. (Future stars – 10)

Nominee:     Sheri Dillon
Region:        West Rep - 1

My name is Sheri Dillon and I am co-owner and the head team coach at Rebound Gymnastics in Blue Springs, Missouri.  I have lived in Missouri my entire life and wouldn't live any place else.  I have been married for more than 30 years and have a daughter and 2 sons.  I have been envolved in Gymnastics for more than 20 years.  I have been the parent of a competitive gymnast, and started my coaching career as a preschool coach at GAGE in Blue Springs, Missouri. At that point I absolutely fell in love with the kids, the sport and the dedication that everyone envolved in the sport has.  It is a passion that can only be understood by those of us who dedicate our lives to the sport.  I have had the opportunity to  see this sport from all sides.  When I first became interested in being a part of the state committee, it was because I felt it was important as an owner of a small gym program to present issues and concerns for those of us who do it all in our gym.  I wanted to make sure that we had a voice.  Now after several terms, I am proud to say that I have always listened to anyone in our state who has concerns and frustrations and tried to represent our members whether I agreed with them or not.  Everyone deserves to have us listen.  I hope that I will continue to have the opportunity to again represent you on the committee.  I strive to look out for the best interest of the athletes, the clubs and the sport in everything I do.
