Sean Melton the Ohio State University standout was named the 2018 Nissen-Emery Award winner. The award, which is college gymnastics ’Heisman Trophy, is presented annually to that year’s outstanding senior gymnast.
“Ohio State has produced some of the greatest gymnasts, not only in Ohio State but also U.S. history. Blaine Wilson, Raj Bhasvar, Kip Simons, Jamie Natalie, the list goes on and on. To be put in that group makes me speechless because I grew up watching Blaine Wilson, Raj and looking up to them. Now that people compare me to them, I am so grateful of it all. It has truly an amazing experience that I have had during my five years at Ohio State” says Melton“I could not have done it without all the alumni support, all my coaches and teammates, my family. I was speechless when I received the award. We had great nominees and I felt like every single one of us deserved it.”

Melton joins Colin Van Wicklen, Marvin Kimble, Michael Reid, and Kanji Oyama who are also represented by GymCrew Talent Management.
