Sacramento State has bought a building on Folsom Blvd. for $4.5 million that will become the gymnastics team’s new training facility.
For the past seven years, the Hornets have practiced nearly 19 miles away at Elevate Gymnastics Academy in Elk Grove.
The team spent about 30 minutes each day driving to practice, and 45 minutes returning to campus due to traffic, according to head coach Randy Solorio.
The new facility could take roughly a year to open, according to Anita Fitzhugh, a Sac State public information officer.
When it opens, the team will be practicing less than a mile from campus.
