History

Iowa State first put together a women's gymnastic team in time for the 1973-1974 season, Char Christiansen lead that squad. Christiansen led the Cyclones to their first Big Eight Conference title in 1975. [4] The Cyclones had limited success through most of the late 1970s and 1980s.

The rebuilding process of the Cyclone program began with the hiring of Head Coach Amy Pyle in 1994. In 2000, her final season, the team won their first Big 12 championship and placed 8th overall at the NCAA Tournament, the highest finish in program history at that point. [5]

After Pyle's retirement, Iowa State hired former letter winner and assistant coach K. J. Kindler, [6] she would go on to be the most successful coach in program history. The highlights of her tenure were making back-to-back NCAA Finals in 2005-2006 and Janet Anson's individual career. In 2006 they won their second Big 12 Championship and made the first and only Super Six in school history. During her collegiate career, Anson was a four-time First Team All-American in vault (twice), floor, and all-around. [7] At the conclusion of the season she left for Oklahoma. [8]

Head Coach Jay Ronayne has continued where Kindler left off. Under his leadership the Cyclones have qualified for NCAA Regionals every year and have had ten Big 12 Champions. [9]

On March 3, 2026, it was announced that the ISU women's gymnastics program would be discontinued. [3] [2]
