Iowa State first put together a women's gymnastic team in time for the 1973-1974 season, Char Christiansen lead that squad.

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.

The highlights of her tenure were making back-to-back NCAA Finals in 2005-2006 and Janet Anson's individual career.

The facility includes an 80-foot divider wall, matting in all uneven bar and balance beam areas, a balance beam dismount pit, cardiovascular elliptical trainers and treadmills, and an open pit vaulting station.
