Greg Marsden is one of the foundational coaches of NCAA women’s gymnastics. He pioneered the Utah program, and his Utes have never missed a nationals, even since his departure in 2014. He is also a big part of building gymnastics into the popular (in our circles, anyway) sport we know and love and for packing Huntsman over the years. We’ve all seen Marsden enjoying mountain hikes with his dogs on Twitter of late, but let’s stroll down memory lane and remember his gym days.
