Nedorosick competed at Penn State from 2016-20, winning two national titles on the pommel horse and being named an All-American in all four years. He could well have won a third national title in 2020, when he was named America’s top senior gymnast, but all national championships were cancelled due to COVID-19 taking over the world.
