2010 Preview... Returning as back-to-back Western Athletic
Conference Champions, the 2010 Boise State gymnastics team is aiming for loftier goals this season. Not only do they return 14 gymnasts from the 2009 season, but they add four outstanding freshmen into the mix as well.
“Yvette is returning with a strong vault and elegant floor routine this season,” said Bird. “She also hopes to make a showing in the bar lineup.”
After posting their highest finish in school history at an NCAA Regional meet last season (third place), the Broncos have put in extra time during the off-season to push themselves even further for the 2010 season.
Turnbow returns to the team as a vault specialist, looking to make a solid impact on the line-up this season.
Bird said, “Raquel is entering the season strong and hopes to be a consistent force in the vault “We have some super talented athletes,” said line-up.” co-head coach Tina Bird. “They will be helping to catapult the team into the top-12 this JUNIORS season. We are just so excited of the poten- Senior Taylor Jacob will be a key competitor Joining the seniors as the leaders of the team, tial of this team. The entire team stayed three on bars this season. the junior class has been setting the goals higher months over the summer and everyone got each season since they arrived at Boise State. better. They improved on things and we fixed the stuff that will impact the team score in the long run. We were ranked “The junior class is the heart of the team,” explained Bird. “They are the No. 19 in the pre-season coaches’ poll, but we hope to surprise people leaders. They have set the bar pretty high with their work ethic, great attitudes and high skill level.” and move up higher than that!” Not only has the team been working hard in the gym during the off-season and summer months, but they have worked closely with strength and conditioning coach Jeff Jones to increase their fitness levels for the season.
Leading the junior class is Hannah Redmon and Kelsey Lang who earned the titles of co-captains of the 2010 squad. They were voted for the leadership role by their teammates. After taking a season away from the all-around, Redmon looks to be healthy enough again to compete on all four events this season.
“The work that the girls have done with coach Jones has brought them to a completely new level of fitness,” explained Bird. “Pairing that with the progressive work that our trainer Keita Shimada does helps our girls prevent injuries or return to the gym more quickly after injuries.”
“Hannah is just such a natural leader in and out of the gym,” said Bird. “Her hard work in the offseason and added difficulty on all four events will make her a definite threat for the WAC Athlete of the Year again this season. She has set her goals very high!”
Alongside of their excellent fitness, the Broncos’ upperclassman will look to bring the team to a whole new level this season.
Lang returns to the team as the reigning WAC Champion on balance beam and looks to continue her consistency on the event.
SENIORS “Our seniors will definitely lead the team with their experience this season,” said Bird. Taylor Jacob, Yvette Leizorek and Raquel Turnbow hope to close out their careers with a very successful season. The trio of seniors will be key competitors in all four line-ups for Senior Yvette Leizorek looks to make a big impact on vault and floor this season. the Broncos this season.
“Kelsey is a great leader in the gym in the fact that she is always smiling and working hard,” said Bird. “She not only is starting the season where she left off last year, but she has upgraded her difficulty on all of her events. We expect her to come back and defend her championship title this season.”
Jacob returns to floor this season after competing primarily on bars and beam during the 2009 season.
Three other juniors help comprise a solid class, including Sarah Smith, Mallory Dziawura and Katie Tuller.
“Taylor is back and stronger than ever with her phenomenal bar routine, solid beam and dynamic floor,” said Bird. “She has added difficulty to her bar dismount and is as consistent as ever.”
Smith has earned her way from a walk-on to scholarship athlete this season, after producing two solid seasons as an underclassman. She will continue to be a solid force for the Broncos on beam and floor this season.

Apple returns as one of the team’s top vault competitors, after finishing the season as the highest nationally ranked Bronco on the event (No. 35). “Chelsee is back with her huge vault that scored well in the past for the Broncos,” explained Bird. “She has been working on sticking her landing and is hoping to set some records this year.”
Dziawura returns as a top competitor on bars and beam for the Broncos. “Mallory is our bars and beam stud,” exclaimed Bird. “She has beautiful lines on both events and we will be looking to her for some solid routines. She has also been training on floor and could break into that line-up as well.” Sophomore Lindsay Kazandjian will be imporTuller returns to the Broncos as a bars specialist after earning an All-WAC Second Team nod on the event last season.
tant in the bars, beam and floor line-ups.
“Katie trained all summer and is ready to be a consistent powerhouse on bars for us this season,” said Bird. “She has upgraded her bar difficulty and continues to work harder than anyone that we (the coaches) have seen. She also started training on vault this summer, so we wouldn’t be surprised to see her in the line-up for that this season too.” SOPHOMORES The sophomore class returns with five athletes this season, including Amy Glass, Chelsee Apple, Lindsay Kazandjian, Fiona Leslie and Cristy Dahlquist.
Kazandjian returns as primarily a bars and beam competitor, but could see time in the all-around for the second straight season. She earned three wins on beam as a freshman and was named All-WAC Second Team on the event. “Lindsay has added difficulty to her bar routine with a new release combo and new dismount,” said Bird. “She will make an impact on bars, as well as, continue her success on beam.” Leslie returns on bars, beam and floor for her second season with the Broncos. “Fiona continues to show strength on bars and beam,” said Bird. “She also has a new, fun floor routine to ‘Madonna’.” Dahlquist returns to the team as a beam and floor specialist after competing primarily on beam as a freshman.
Junior Kelsey Lang will contribute on vault,
“The sophomores are an amazing mix of talent, beam and floor this season. personality and hard work,” said Bird. Glass returns to the team after suffering a season-ending neck injury early in the 2009 season. She will return as an all-around gymnast after proving to be one of the top competitors in the event as a freshman.
“Amy’s return is such a gift to the team,” explained Bird. “Her heart and drive throughout her recovery has been inspirational to the team and to the coaches. Her comeback story is unbelievable, unheard of and inspiring; it grounds everyone on the team. They think of what she had to go through to comeback and it makes everyone try their hardest every day. She is an amazing gymnast who will bring the team to a new level this season. She has been training hard and is returning stronger than she was last season. She has added difficulty to all four events and will compete in the all-around again.” Junior Hannah Redmon will return to the allaround this season.

“Cristy has worked hard all summer and hopes to make the line-ups on both beam and floor this season,” said Bird. FRESHMEN The Broncos welcome four new freshmen to the 2010 squad, including Hailey Gaspar, Brittany Potvin-Green, Lacee Lang and Erin Wippermann. “The freshmen have jumped right into our intense training this season without missing a beat,” said Bird. “The rest of the team was here voluntarily throughout the summer, so the freshmen had to join in to an even better Bronco squad and they’ve done a great job adjusting this fall.” Gaspar will join the Broncos as a likely competitor on vault, beam and floor. “Hailey is an exciting performer with huge tumbling and a big, dynamic vault,” explained Bird. “She is also consistent on beam and will contribute on all three events. She’s sure to be a crowd favorite.”
2010 Gymnastics Preview
“Sarah’s technique has improved over the summer, which will make her one of our most solid athletes on beam,” explained Bird. “She has upgraded her floor tumbling and has a spunky new routine that is sure to please the crowd. She has also added vault for the first time and is working on her 10.0 start value which will help the team this season.”
Potvin-Green joins the team as an all-around competitor who has a great finesse to her gymnastics.

The Boise State experience - 55 -
Athletic Facilities
Bronco Stadium, Stueckle sky center & Ed Jacoby Track
In an effort to continue the climb in competition, Boise State has outlined a plan to improve the infrastructure and financial position of its athletic department. The project is called the “Initiative for Athletic Excellence.” It is a detailed plan that lays out the direction for the department and its facilities to ensure the Broncos’ continued growth and success. In the last 11 years Boise State’s growth has led to the addition of women’s soccer in 1998. In 2006-07 women’s swimming & diving joined the family followed by softball in 2008-09. In recent years Boise State has built four competition facilities: the stateof-the-art Appleton Outdoor Tennis Center (2002), the Bronco Soccer and Tennis Complex (2003), Jacksons Indoor Track (2003 - a joint effort with the city of Nampa) and the Mountain Cove Softball Complex (2008). In January of 2006 the CavenWilliams Sports Complex, a 97,000 square-foot indoor practice facility, was opened next to Bronco Stadium. The Boas Indoor Tennis Center also underwent significant renovation with the replacement of the bubbles. The latest project is the Stueckle Sky Center expansion to Bronco Stadium. The stadium project includes a new press box, luxury suites, banquet hall, new ticket office, a Bronco Shop, and much more. Seating capacity for football games will increase to approximately 32,000.
Caven-Williams sports complex
Other future projects include a new 10,000-square foot locker room facility and lounges for the men's and women's basketball teams; a new outdoor track stadium and practice area; a new Peterson PRECO Learning Center; a new home for the World Sports Humanitarian Hall of Fame; and new women’s sports facilities, including competition venues for softball.

Conference Affiliations The Western Athletic Conference... In its 47th year, the Western Athletic Conference continues to evolve and features some of the nation’s best intercollegiate competition. One thing that remains unchanged is the persistent nature of the nine schools in the WAC to advance their programs to contend at the top levels of the NCAA. The WAC provides its student-athletes the chance to travel to scenic destinations and gain exposure in some of the nation’s most diverse markets. In addition, the WAC’s student-athletes work to achieve the highest levels of success with the academic support of their respective institutions. The WAC has experienced tremendous success. Over the past six years, it has won 54.5 percent of its bowl games, the third best winning percentage of any conference in the nation. In the past six seasons, the WAC has sent a total of 22 teams to bowl games (12-10). Boise State has won 76 games since joining the conference, the most in the nation during that time span (2001-07). For the second year in a row, the WAC sent a team to a BCS bowl game as Hawai‘i earned a Nokia Sugar Bowl bid this past season following Boise State’s unforgettable victory in the 2007 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. In men’s basketball, the WAC has sent at least two teams to the NCAA Tournament in 23 of the past 25 seasons. Every current school in the WAC has competed in the NCAA Tournament since 1990. In women’s sports, Fresno State softball has competed in every NCAA Tournament ever held while Louisiana Tech basketball has played in all but two.
The WAC is the sixth oldest among the nation’s 11 Division I-A conferences. Its history traces back to July 27, 1962, when the original six-team league of Arizona, Arizona State, Brigham Young, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming began competition. B e f o r e 1 9 9 0 , t h e WA C s p o n s o r e d championships only in men’s sports. However, a merger with the High Country Athletic Conference formed a single conference under one administrative structure, and the 1990-91 athletic year was the first in which both men and women competed under the WAC name. Currently the WAC membership consists of Hawai’i which joined in 1979, Fresno State (1992), San Jose State (1996), Nevada (2000), Boise State and Louisiana Tech (2001), and Idaho, New Mexico State and Utah State (2005). Presently, the WAC crowns team and individual champions in 19 sports – eight men’s and 11 women’s. For the men, there are championships in baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis, indoor track and field and outdoor track and field. Championships for women are held in basketball, cross country, golf, gymnastics, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field and volleyball. The WAC office has been located in the Denver area since the conference’s inception with the exception of a two-year stay in Phoenix from 1964-66.

Western Athletic Conference Karl Benson
WAC Commissioner Alma Mater: Boise State When Karl Benson was named the fifth commissioner in the history of the Western Athletic Conference on April 20, 1994, he brought with him a wealth of experience and a personal history of success to the position. Since that time, Benson not only has laid a strong foundation for the WAC’s future, he also steered the conference through unsettled times during the late 1990s and again a few years later when the defection of member institutions threatened the WAC. Through his leadership and vision, it didn’t take long for the WAC to regain its place among the nation’s top Division I conferences. Benson has spearheaded conference expansion with the additions of Nevada, Boise State and Louisiana Tech earlier this decade and an additional round of expansion with New Mexico State, Utah State and Idaho joining the league a few years ago. Nationally, Benson has earned the respect of his peers after serving on the NCAA Management Council from 1999-2002, and a five-year term on the NCAA Men’s Basketball Committee from 200206. Benson hit the ground running when he was hired in 1994 and initiated several programs that improved the conference’s national position in virtually ever category. He was instrumental in developing multi-year agreements with the Holiday Bowl, Cotton Bowl, Copper Bowl, Las Vegas Bowl, Silicon Valley Football Classic, GMAC Bowl and currently, the Roady’s Humanitarian Bowl, Sheraton Hawai‘i Bowl and New Mexico Bowl. In 1995-96, the WAC signed an exclusive multi-year agreement with ESPN for the unprecedented live telecasts of basketball and football. Included in that deal was a women’s basketball contract, the
first in conference history. Currently, a second agreement with ESPN and ABC has resulted in 80 football games being televised over the past five years. Benson came to the WAC after four successful years as the commissioner of the Mid-American Conference. There, he implemented several innovative projects and was instrumental in the formation of the Las Vegas Bowl. Prior to taking the reins of the MAC, Benson served on the NCAA staff for more than four years where he was the director of NCAA championships. Benson joined the NCAA staff in January of 1986 as a compliance representative and was appointed assistant director of championships in June 1987. He was promoted to director of championships in 1988. In that position, Benson actively supervised eight assistant directors in their administration of 68 NCAA championships. A native of the state of Washington, Benson graduated from high school in Pullman in 1970, attended Spokane Falls Community College and then received a bachelor of science degree in physical education from Boise State University in 1975. He has also completed coursework toward his master’s degree in athletics administration at the University of Utah. Benson played baseball at both Spokane Falls Community College and Boise State University before serving as the baseball coach at Fort Steilacoom Community College in Tacoma, Wash., for eight years and as the director of athletics at Fort Steilacoom from 1979-84. From 1984-86, he was an assistant baseball coach and an administrative assistant in the athletic department at Utah. He received the Distinguished Alumni Award from Boise State in April of 2006. Benson was born on December 1, 1951 and has one daughter, Jessie, 17.

Coach Socha’s Philosophy Head strength and conditioning coach Tim Socha’s philosophy is that student-athletes are not only going to train hard, but that they are going to do the correct exercises that help them excel in their sport. The staff uses variation in the training programs to enhance the student-athletes’ ability to adapt and improve. The variation involves both multi-joint and multi-plane training. Flexibility, core strength and proprioceptive training also is included in all programs. Through all of the training, sport specificity is emphasized, and the one thing that will never be forgotten is that hard work is what wins championships. All 19 Boise State varsity athletic teams utilize the strength and conditioning center. Each team has a sport-specific program designed to help each student-athlete increase his or her athletic potential and decrease the chance of injury. Boise State coaches take pride in the fact that their student-athletes are some of the best conditioned in the nation. The facility is fully equipped with many different machines, as well as various free weight equipment.

Director of Athletics Gene Bleymaier, Boise State Director of Athletics
Under Gene Bleymaier’s leadership, Boise State University’s Department of Athletics has scaled impressive and unprecedented heights with the accomplishments of its studentathletes, the successes of its teams, the growth of its facilities, the support of its community, and the advancement of its status among the nation’s premier athletic programs. Bleymaier is in his 29th year at Boise State. He joined the Athletic Department in 1981 and became the Broncos’ AD in February of 1982. In June 2008 Bleymaier received the Astro Turf Athletic Director of the Year Award at the national athletic directors’ conference in Dallas. He currently is the Western Athletic Conference’s representative to the Bowl Championship Series. In 1997 Bleymaier led the effort to create the Humanitarian Bowl – now called the Roady’s Humanitarian Bowl – and he continues to serve on the board of directors for the annual postseason football game. He served a four-year term as the WAC representative on the NCAA Division I Management Council and is also past president and vice president of the NCAA I-AA Athletic Directors’ Association. He is also a member of the Boise-based World Sports Humanitarian Hall of Fame board of directors. Under Bleymaier’s guidance, Boise State’s football program has grown spectacularly and gained national attention since it joined the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly I-A) ranks in 1996. In just over a decade competing at the highest collegiate level, Boise State football has put itself on the national map with winning records, league championships, national rankings and bowl victories in front of a national audience. Among the nation’s FBS programs, Boise State has the best overall record in the last 10 years (108-20, 84.3 percent), the best winning percentage for conference games the past 10 years (705, 93.3 percent), and has been the highestscoring team in the nation since 2000 (41.16 points per game). In 1986 Bleymaier was responsible for the installation of the artificial blue turf in Bronco Stadium, which has become one of the most
recognizable sports venues in America and the city of Boise’s most famous landmark. In 1996 he led Boise State’s move to FBS as a member of the Big West Conference, and in 2001 he guided the Bronco Athletic Department’s transfer to its current membership in the WAC. In its first eight years in the WAC, the Bronco football team has won six league championships and finished second twice. In 2002, 2003, 2004, 2006 and 2008 Boise State went 8-0 in conference play. The Broncos have won a total of 23 league championships in all sports since joining the WAC. Prior to joining the WAC, Boise State won 15 team titles overall while it was a member of the Big West Conference from 1996-2001, and 33 overall league championships in the Big Sky Conference from 1982-1995. The Broncos also captured 13 Big Sky all-sport championships. Boise State sponsors 19 intercollegiate sports – eight for men and 11 for women. All teams compete in the WAC with the exception of wrestling (Pac-10). The 2008-09 athletic season was highlighted by six teams completing their seasons ranked in the top 25 of their respective sports and Boise State finishing the year with its highest ever finish in the Learfield Sports Director’s Cup at 49th. Football led the way capturing its sixth WAC title in seven years and finished the season ranked 11th in the nation by the Associated Press with an overall record of 12-1. Wrestling won its second straight Pac-10 championship before placing 12th at the NCAA National Championships. The Broncos won their other WAC team titles in men’s indoor track and field, gymnastics and men’s tennis (regular season). Boise State also sent several other teams to regional and national post-season competition highlighted by the men’s tennis team advancing to the round of 16 at the NCAA National Tournament for the first time in over 10 years. Individually, another chapter was added to the Bronco history book when Eleni Kafourou became the first female to win a national championship when she finished first in the women’s triple jump at the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships. Conference wise Boise State student-athletes won 23 league championships. Behind Bleymaier’s guidance, Boise State student-athletes have also excelled in the classroom. During the 2008-09 academic year, 136 Bronco student-athletes received conference all-academic honors. Following the spring 2009 semester, Bronco studentathletes set an all-time single semester gradepoint-average mark at 3.00 and an all-time cumulative GPA at 3.04, marking the fourth straight semester the Boise State studentathlete cumulative GPA has been over 3.00. A record 65 percent of all student-athletes earned a 3.0 or better GPA last year.

In May of 2009, the NCAA announced its multi-year academic performance rates (APR) and Boise State has the highest rates in the WAC for the sports of football, men’s basketball, men’s tennis (a perfect 1000 score), outdoor track and field, and men’s cross country – the most No. 1 rankings of any WAC school. The football and men’s basketball teams led the WAC for the third straight year. Moreover, the athletic program’s overall APR has improved every year. While Boise State has enjoyed unprecedented success on the playing fields, courts and in the classroom, it has also drastically improved its facilities under Bleymaier’s direction. In August of 2008 the most expensive capital project in the history of Bronco athletics opened with the $36 million Stueckle Sky Center which includes a stateof-the-art press box, suites, loge boxes and club seats. On August 1, 2009 Boise State officially acquired control of the 15.5-acre East Junior High School site from the Boise School District with plans to build future athletic facilities there. Located just northeast of the main campus, the first project planned will be to move Ed Jacoby Track from Bronco Stadium and build a new track and field facility. The most recent facility was unveiled this past year with the opening of the Mountain Cove Softball Field. In a cooperative effort with the Boise School District, the Bronco athletic department renovated the complex adding a press box, more seating, a scoreboard, batting cages and replacing the field. In 2006, Boise State opened the CavenWilliams Sports Complex, which is a $9.5 million indoor practice facility that includes a full size football field and the Keith and Catherine Stein Band Hall. Other capital projects completed during Bleymaier’s tenure include the Boas Tennis/ Soccer Center, a 1997 expansion of Bronco Stadium, the Allen Noble Hall of Fame Gallery, the Williams Plaza, the Peterson-Preco Learning Center, the Appleton Outdoor Tennis Center, the Jackson Indoor Track, the Idaho Sports Medicine Institute, the Bronco Football Center, the gymnastics room expansion, the Simplot Center for Athletic Excellence, the Fedrizzi Fitness Center expansion, and an expansion of the Nicholson-Yanke Center. Bleymaier served as an assistant athletic director at UCLA prior to coming to Boise State. A member of the California Bar Association and a graduate of the Loyola Law School, Bleymaier received his bachelor’s degree from UCLA. Bleymaier lettered in football and was named to the All-Pac 8 Conference third team as a tight end for the Bruins. He was the recipient of the UCLA Outstanding Senior Award and was active in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Bleymaier graduated from Borah High School in Boise. Bleymaier and his wife, Danell, have four children – Maribeth, Joe, Claire and Tom.
