Scott KESWICK

Scott Keswick competed in gymnastics for UCLA, winning the Nissen Award as a senior, given to the nation’s top collegiate gymnast. His father was in the US Air Force and Keswick started gymnastics when he grew up in Iran. He came to national attention at the 1987 Junior Olympics, when he won the all-around, rings, vault, and parallel bars.

Keswick competed internationally for the US at the 1991 World Championships, the 1992 Olympics, the 1993 Universiade, World Championships, and Chunichi Cup, and the 1994 Goodwill Games. He was a rings specialist who won four US titles on rings (1989-91, 1994). In 1992 he also won national titles on vault and parallel bars. Keswick was seriously injured in February 1995 in a fall off the high bar, which eventually led to back surgery. He attempted to make the 1996 Olympics, but was unable to fully recover and retired at the end of that year. Keswick later settled in the Silicon Valley area with his family, where he worked as a retirement plan consultant.
