U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. --  Air Force men's gymnastics coach Kip Simons announced the addition of seven newcomers to the program from the upcoming 2010 season. The newest group of Falcons, who have been at the Academy for the past month participating in Basic Cadet Training, will begin classes next week. 

"These seven young men are, by far, the strongest recruiting class that I have brought to the Academy," Simons said. "I expect an immediate impact on all apparatus, especially the pommel horse. I believe that the potential could be through the roof for these young men."
