Steve Hug

Who is Steve Hug?

Steve Hug is the winningest Stanford gymnast at the NCAA Individual Championships. His 11 All-America awards are a school record, with five of the accolades coming as individual crowns: three in the all-around and two in the parallel bars. Hug’s three straight all-around wins – the first NCAA titles in Stanford gymnastics history – are tied for the second-most consecutive titles in NCAA history, while his five overall crowns are tied for third. The first of three winners of the Nissen-Emery Award to compete on the Farm, Hug participated in the 1968 and 1972 Olympic Games. Though he never medaled, Hug was still the youngest ever Olympic gymnastics team member, and the first American to compete in the finals of the all-around.
