IN THE SPOTLIGHT Choosing to become a Mountaineer is special. Without ยก a professional sports team in the state, folks across the state and throughout the region love West Virginia University athletics.

No school helps its student-athletes more than the ยก people at West Virginia.

Mountaineers have the unique opportunity to represent ยก themselves, their teammates and their University to news media, alumni, friends, family and the general public. Your interaction with these groups is also part of your educational process.

If you take advantage of these opportunities, it can ยก

have a positive effect, not only on your career as a student-athlete at West Virginia, but also on your life after you have donned the Old Gold and Blue.

2014 GYMNASTICS

mountaineer gymnastics

A program built on the strong foundation laid down by 37-year coach Linda Burdette-Good, the Mountaineers enter their 41st season of competition with 683 program wins.

A WINNING TRADITION Few gymnastics programs across the country can equate the level of success the Mountaineers have enjoyed ¡ over the years. Widely regarded as one of the most respected programs in the nation, the notoriety does not come without merit.

Under the leadership of third-year coach Jason Butts, the Mountaineers look to not only continue their winning ¡ ways, but to also eclipse the program’s prior success. The driving goal for the WVU gymnastics program is to bring a National Championship back to Morgantown.

The Mountaineers own a national presence, having competed at four national championships and 35 regional ¡ championships. Five gymnasts have won 13 All-America honors, while 17 have individually qualified for the NCAA National Championships.

WVU stepped up to the challenge in 2013 in ¡

its first year in the Big 12 Conference, as the Mountaineers scored a 196.15-194.825 victory over Iowa State on Feb. 10, 2013 its first win in its new conference home. Additionally, Jaida Lawrence was named to the All-Big 12 Vault Team, and Kaylyn Millick finished second in the all-around at the conference championship with a 39.2 score and earned All-Big 12 Championship Team honors.

One of the founding members of the East Atlantic Gymnastics League (EAGL), the Mountaineers won seven ¡

league titles in 17 years and never went more than four seasons without a championship, winning their last in Pittsburgh in 2012, their final season in the league. In its final 12 years in the EAGL, WVU won 26 individual titles, including Hope Sloanhoffer (all-around, vault and bars) and Beth Deal’s (beam) victories in 2012, and collected six EAGL Gymnast of the Year honors and seven EAGL Outstanding Senior Gymnast awards; Sloanhoffer won the gymnast honor in 2012.

CHAMPIONSHIP TEAMS A championship program is not built overnight. Fully aware that hard work, dedication, teamwork and ¡

determination, coupled with a shared vision for a success, produce accomplishments, the West Virginia gymnastics team enters each season working toward another trip to the NCAA National Championships and a Big 12 Conference title.

With 35 regional championships appearances and four trips to a National Championships to their name, ¡ the Mountaineers understand what it takes to reach the postseason.

WVU gymnastics dominated the East Atlantic Gymnastics League (EAGL) in its 17 years of membership, ¡ winning seven league titles from 1996 – 2012, including the 2012 EAGL crown in Pittsburgh, WVU’s last year in the league. The Mountaineers never went more than four years between titles. Additionally, the squad won 26 individual league crowns and a combined 18 individual league postseason honors. Prior to its move to the EAGL, WVU won four Atlantic 10 championships.

Mountaineer gymnasts are winners in the classroom, too, as 99 gymnasts have been named Scholastic ¡ All-Americans by the National Association of College Gymnastics Coaches/Women since 1987.

A NEW ERA Following a five-year tenure that saw him rise from assistant coach to ¡ associate head coach, Jason Butts was elevated to West Virginia University’s third gymnastics head coach in April 2011.

Butts ushered in a new period for WVU gymnastics in 2013, as the ¡

Mountaineers joined perennial powerhouse Oklahoma and Iowa State in the Big 12 Conference in 2013. The team made a name for itself in its new home, as the squad scored 196.0 or better in every home meet, a feat never before achieved in program history. WVU spent six weeks in the GymInfo Poll and peaked at No. 16.

In his first season at WVU, Butts led WVU to a regional-best 195.9 ¡

score and a fifth-place finish at the 2012 NCAA Auburn Regional. The Mountaineers were ranked No. 21 in the final GymInfo Poll of the season, their first season-ending ranking since 2009. WVU finished the year with 21 victories, its first 20-win season since 2008. Additionally, the squad ended the season 5-4 against ranked opponents.

2014 GYMNASTICS

mountaineer gymnastics The Mountaineers won their seventh ¡ East Atlantic Gymnastics League (EAGL) championship in 2012 with a season-best 196.475 score, the 11thbest mark in program history. Hope Sloanhoffer, the EAGL Gymnast of the Year, won the all-around, vault and uneven bars titles, while Beth Deal won the beam title.

“JASON IS YOUNG, EAGER AND READY TO TAKE THE WVU GYMNASTICS PROGRAM BACK TO THE NATIONAL STAGE. HIS DEDICATION TO HIS STUDENT-ATHLETES AND TO WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY HAS PROVEN HIM TO BE A SURE SUCCESS. I HAVE WATCHED HIM EVOLVE OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS AS A COLLEGE COACH, AND HIS IS TRULY IN HIS ELEMENT NOW AS A LEADER. NOT ONLY HAS HE GENERATED EXCITEMENT WITHIN HIS TEAM, BUT HE ALSO HAS STIRRED A SURGE OF EXCITEMENT FOR ALL WVU GYMNASTICS FANS.” - MEHGAN MORRIS ( WVU GYMNAST 2006-09), 2009 EAGL OUTSTANDING SENIOR GYMNAST, 2009 NCAA CHAMPIONSHIPS INDIVIDUAL ALL-AROUND QUALIFIER

A two-time (2009, ’10) Southeast ¡

Regional Assistant Coach of the Year, Butts spent five seasons coaching the Mountaineers’ vault, floor and bars lineups. As an assistant, Butts coached nine EAGL individual champions, two individual all-around NCAA Championships qualifiers, three EAGL Outstanding Senior Gymnasts, two EAGL Gymnasts of the Year and 57 All-EAGL honorees.

A tireless recruiter and high-energy ¡

coach, Butts looks forward to leading WVU gymnastics back to the top of the national spotlight. With Butts at the helm, a new and exciting era of Mountaineer gymnastics is underway.

“JASON IS A GREAT YOUNG COACH WITH LOTS OF ENERGY. HE IS AN EXCEPTIONAL RECRUITER, WHO WILL CARRY ON THE GREAT TRADITIONS AND NATIONAL RESPECT THAT LINDA BURDETTEGOOD HAS BUILT WITH OUR GYMNASTICS PROGRAM. JASON IS REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS COACHING OPPORTUNITY, AND I BELIEVE HE WILL CONTINUE THE SUCCESS THAT OUR GYMNASTICS PROGRAM HAS ENJOYED FOR OVER 40 YEARS.” - OLIVER LUCK, WVU DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

“I WATCHED JASON BEGIN AS A YOUNG COACH. HE IS A VERY LOYAL INDIVIDUAL, AND I THINK THAT WILL CARRY HIM FAR. HE WORKS TIRELESSLY AT WHAT HE DOES, AND HE ALSO IS VERY PERSONABLE. FROM A RECRUITING STANDPOINT, HE HAS A WARM PERSONALITY. HE’S JUST A SUPER GUY WHO CARES ABOUT HIS ATHLETES AND UNDERSTANDS THE BALANCE THAT SHOULD EXIST WHEN YOU ARE DEALING WITH STUDENT-ATHLETES. JASON IS VERY DEPENDABLE, AND HE’LL SHOW UP EVERY DAY AND DO HIS JOB. THERE ARE SO MANY POSITIVES TO HIS MAKEUP. I THINK HE’S GOING TO BE VERY SUCCESSFUL AT WEST VIRGINIA.” - JAY CLARK, FORMER HEAD COACH AT GEORGIA AND CURRENT ASSOCIATE HEAD COACH AT LSU

CARY GYM AND THE WVU COLISEUM

On competition day, the Mountaineers move over to the WVU Coliseum. The Coliseum underwent a vast facelift in 2009, as a new video board, comparable to NBA arenas, was added. Additionally, more lighting was added, as well as a new sound system. These improvements provide the best-possible backdrop for the Mountaineers and enhance the entertainment value for the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fans.

2014 GYMNASTICS

mountaineer gymnastics West Virginia gymnastics, a program competing ¡ In Cary Gym, gymnasts will also find a fully ¡ in its fourth decade, is housed in one of the finest practice facilities in the country: Cary Gymnasium, named in honor of the success and contributions of Bray and Dianne Cary. Bray, President and CEO of West Virginia Media Holdings, LLC in Charleston, is a graduate of WVU’s Perley Isaac Reed School of Journalism. His wife Dianne, also a WVU graduate, serves on the WVU Alumni Association Board of Directors. The Carys have endowed eight scholarships that are given annually to WVU student-athletes.

equipped training room with taping tables and a whirlpool. Next door in the locker room, each gymnast has her own spacious locker. Additionally, flat-screen TVs encompass the gym, allowing the gymnasts to watch their routines back instantaneously.

Cary Gym was completed between the 1997 ¡

and 1998 seasons. It was a part of former WVU Director of Athletics Ed Pastilong’s $10 million facilities commitment to seven varsity athletic programs.

The $1.5 million gymnastics training center was ¡

designed exclusively for the use of Mountaineer gymnastics and features the latest in comfort, technology and safety. At 12,000-square feet, the facility is one of the most spacious in the country. But it is the gym’s exclusive design that makes it so functional and practical; all four events have their own landing areas and safety zones, which makes for much more productive and efficient practices.

Cary Gym’s list of equipment is impressive: ¡

six competition-height balance beams, two low beams, one full-sized floor adjoined by a half-sized floor, two sets of bars, one single rail trainer (positioned over a loose foam pit), a trench bar trainer, two vaults with padded runways, a rod floor and a trampoline.

One of the biggest safety features is the ¡

positioning of its two loose foam pits. The first is exclusively for the use of vaulters, while the second, much larger pit is positioned so that gymnasts on bars, floor and the rod floor can use it simultaneously without the fear of a collision. The gym also features three foam resi pits adjoining each of the four practice areas.

MEET DAY IN MORGANTOWN Competing in the one the nation’s most exciting environments, the atmosphere that surrounds the ¡

WVU Coliseum on a meet day is contagious, as the gymnasts give their all for a win, interacting with the Mountaineer faithful and constantly feeding off the crowd’s energy.

Fans throughout the state and the Mountaineer Maniacs come out to cheer on the Old Gold and Blue. ¡ Whether it’s dancing to “Country Roads” and “YMCA,” or eagerly cheering for a “10.0” score, ¡ Mountaineer fans are in for a party-like atmosphere at all WVU gymnastics meets.

Crowd interaction is crucial to the Mountaineers’ success, as their flights look bigger and their landings ¡ look more crisp when the WVU faithful is cheering loudly in the stands.

Special events, such as “Beauty & the Beast” and the annual “Wendy M. Roach Invitational” Pink Meet, ¡ are highly anticipated by the gymnasts and the fans alike.

Because of its nationally recognized reputation of hosting a world-class gymnastics meet, WVU is ¡

continually awarded NCAA Regional Championships hosting duties. The Mountaineers last played host to a regional in 2013, its eighth championships, and will be one of six host sites in 2015 and 2017.

COMMUNITY SERVICE Winning and working hard are important to the West Virginia University gymnastics team. Becoming ¡

successful and positive role models in and out of the gym is just as significant. The Mountaineers give back to Morgantown and its surrounding communities every chance they get.

The Mountaineers are dedicated to raising funds for cancer projects, such as the Betty Puskar Breast ¡

Care Center and the American Cancer Society. The team, along with the WVU women’s soccer squad, participates in a yearly fashion show that benefits the Betty Puskar Breast Care Center. The event, which draws hundreds of residents from Morgantown and the surrounding communities, features breast cancer survivors and local women who become models for a day. Additionally, WVU invites fans to donate sundry items at its annual “Wendy M. Roach Invitational” Pink Meet each season, with all gifts also benefiting the breast care center. The squad also participates in the University’s annual Relay for Life event.

Coach Jason Butts stresses success in the gym and in the classroom, emphasizing that each student¡

athlete find a healthy balance. In an effort to guide the younger generation toward its own balance and appreciation of academics, the Mountaineers are constant participants in the “Read Aloud” program, visiting local schools and not only reading stories to the students, but also encouraging older students to apply themselves to their studies.

mountaineer gymnastics The WVU gymnastics team understands ¡

the privileges that come with being a Mountaineer, and in appreciation of the gifts they receive, the team in turn spends free time with those in need, especially the young patients at the WVU Children’s Hospital. Smiles are widespread when the Mountaineers visit and share their stories of success and contagious laughter.

Finally, the Mountaineers all know ¡

that they have come a long way from their club days to wearing the Old Gold and Blue. Therefore, whenever the opportunity arises, team members can be found back at their club programs, passing on their knowledge to former teammates and future stars, furthering the development of their sport and giving back to those that helped them achieve the success they now own. Additionally, the team greets its young fans after every home meet, signing autographs and sharing smiles.

She and her family are constant visitors at Cary Gym. She will join the Mountaineers at their home meets this season. • Team IMPACT’s goal is for children to become official team members for the duration of their treatment and beyond. The organization’s current footprint extends from the Northeast into the Mid-Atlantic and the Midwest regions.

Jason

HEAD COACH

BUTTS

(Third Year)

ollowing a five-year tenure that saw him rise from assistant coach to associate head coach, Jason Butts became West Virginia University’s third gymnastics head coach in April 2011. In just his second season at the helm, Butts ushered in a new era for WVU gymnastics, as the Mountaineers joined perennial powerhouse Oklahoma and Iowa State in the Big 12 Conference in 2013. The team made a name for itself in its new home, as the squad scored 196.0 or better in every home meet, a feat never before achieved in program history, and finished the year at 13-9 (1-3 Big 12). WVU spent six weeks in the GymInfo Poll, peaking at No. 16, and finished third in its first Big 12 Gymnastics Championship. The team also qualified for its 35th regional championships and placed fifth in front of a WVU Coliseum crowd. With two seasons under his belt, Butts owns a 34-14 (.708) career coaching record. Included in 2013’s five 196.0+ performances was a season-best 196.55 mark in a loss to thenNo. 3 Michigan (196.925) and wins over New Hampshire (194.875) and Towson (193.15) at the Coliseum on Feb. 24. The Mountaineers’ score was the 10th-best mark in program history. WVU earned its first Big 12 Conference victory with a 196.15-194.825 win over ISU at the Coliseum on Feb. 10 in front of 2,522 fans, the sixth-largest crowd to attend a home WVU gymnastics meet. In total, WVU competed in front of three home crowds of 1,800 or better, including the team’s Big 12 opener against Oklahoma on Feb. 1, which drew a crowd of 1,881, the 11th-best mark in program history. Jaida Lawrence earned the program’s first All-Big 12 honor, as she was named to the vault team, while Kaylyn Millick earned a spot on the All-Big 12 Championship Team for her second place all-around finish. Additionally, three gymnasts earned a combined six Big 12 weekly awards, five student-athletes were named to the 2013 Academic All-Big 12 Gymnastics Team and each of the team’s freshmen was named to the Academic All-Big 12 Rookie Team. At season’s end, the Mountaineers were nationally ranked No. 21 on vault, No. 21 on beam and No. 26 on floor; WVU was ranked in the top 25 on vault each week of 2013. Millick ranked No. 27 in the all-around, Hope Sloanhoffer followed at No. 42, Lawrence ranked No. 43 on vault and Alaska Richardson ranked No. 48 on floor. Additionally, the squad ranked No. 2 overall in the Big 12 on every event but bars. Butts wasted little time in his first season, leading the Mountaineers to a 21-5 record in 2012, their first 20-win season since 2008, and a fifth-place showing at the 2012 NCAA Auburn Regional Championships. WVU scored 195.9, its best-ever regional score, and finished the year ranked No. 21 nationally, the Mountaineers’ first season-ending ranking since 2009. WVU concluded the year with a 5-4 mark against ranked teams and earned wins against No. 8 Arkansas, No. 13 Auburn and No. 13 Missouri. Making good on a promise he gave the team when he was hired, Butts also led the Mountaineers to their league-best seventh East Atlantic Gymnastics League (EAGL) title on

March 24, 2012. Sloanhoffer, the EAGL Gymnast of the Year, captured the vault, bars and all-around titles, while Beth Deal secured the balance beam victory. WVU tallied a season-best 196.475 score in its win and set three season-best scores on vault (49.25), bars (49.175) and floor (49.2). Prior to the championship, seven Mountaineers earned 15 All-EAGL honors, including four first-team awards for Sloanhoffer. She ranked No. 1 in the league in the all-around every week of the season. Following its seven wins at the EAGL Championship, WVU qualified for its 34th regional championship appearance as the No. 5 seed in the Auburn regional. Entering regional competition, WVU ranked nationally on vault and floor and owned the league’s top rankings on each event. Additionally, the squad ranked No. 2 on bars and beam. Nationally ranked for all but four weeks, the Mountaineers opened the 2012 season at No. 21. The squad was ranked in the nation’s top 25 on vault and floor all season and spent the first three weeks of the year nationally ranked in the top 10 on floor. The Mountaineers ended the season ranked No. 20 on vault and No. 21 on floor. A two-time (2009-10) Southeast Region Assistant Coach of the Year, Butts spent five seasons coaching the Mountaineers’ vault, floor and bars lineups under coach Linda Burdette-Good, who announced her retirement after 37 years of leading the Mountaineers. He helped those three lineups become dominant in the EAGL, and eight Mountaineers earned 19 first team all-league honors in the three events under his tutelage. As the primary bars coach, Butts produced three EAGL individual bars champions, including 2011 outright winner Amy Bieski. He also guided Mehgan Morris to back-to-back wins in 2008 and 2009. Additionally, he helped mentor Janáe Cox (2007) and Morris (2009) to individual all-around NCAA Championships qualifications and coached Cox to 2007 first team All-America honors on floor. In his five seasons as an assistant, the Mountaineers produced a 98-44 record, competed at five straight NCAA Regional Championships and claimed the 2008 EAGL Championship. Additionally, Butts coached nine EAGL individual champions, two EAGL Gymnasts of the Year and 57 All-EAGL honorees. Though the bars lineup shuffled throughout the 2011 season, Butts’ unit produced an overall season average of 48.406. Senior Emily Kerwin ended the year ranked No. 6 in the EAGL, No. 13 in the Southeast region, with a 9.81 RQS, while league champion Bieski ranked No. 8 in the conference, No. 15 regionally, with a 9.795 RQS. Additionally, the Mountaineers placed the most representatives on the All-EAGL bars first team, as Kerwin, Bieski and junior Nicole Roach all secured the honor. In total, four gymnasts swung to multiple scores of 9.8 or better throughout the season, and Bieski and Roach set the team standard with career-best 9.875 marks. In addition to leading the bars team, Butts helped guide the vault and floor lineups to the No. 1 (49.08 RQS) and No. 2 (49.035) league rankings, respectively. The units also were nationally ranked No. 17 and No. 21, respectively.

Under his supervision, Sloanhoffer, a nine-time EAGL weekly award winner, was ranked No. 1 in the league, No. 6 in the region and No. 37 in the nation on vault (9.865 RQS) and earned three 9.9-plus vault scores on the season. Butts was faced with the challenge of filling holes in the bars lineup in 2010, as key contributors were hit with injuries. Under his guidance, the Mountaineers rose to the challenge and finished the season ranked second in the EAGL and fourth in the Southeast region. Additionally, he guided Bieski and Roach to the No. 8 league ranking with matching 9.79 RQS. Butts also helped Chelsi Tabor attain the second-best EAGL vault RQS of 9.855. The mark ranked 10th in the region and 47th nationally. The Mountaineers finished ranked first on floor and second on bars and vault in the EAGL in 2009; they were nationally ranked 17th and 21st on vault and bars, respectively. Butts helped guide Morris to a fifth place all-around finish at the 2009 NCAA Southeast Regional Championship and a qualification for the NCAA Championship. Additionally, she not only repeated as the EAGL bars and floor champion, but she also won the all-around league title and was named the EAGL Outstanding Senior Gymnast. Three additional Mountaineers won EAGL titles in 2009 – Tabor (vault), Tina Maloney (vault) and Shelly Purkat (beam). In 2008, Morris scored a 9.85 on bars at the EAGL Championship to win the individual title, and the Mountaineers picked up their first league team title since 2004. Morris, along with Erica Watson, was named to the All-EAGL First Team on bars, while Bieski was a second-team selection in her rookie season. Butts saw his bars lineup vastly improve through his first season at WVU. After early season struggles, the group came together down the stretch to have the EAGL’s top bars RQS and a score that ranked 23rd in the country by season’s end. WVU placed second at the EAGL Championship on the uneven bars after posting a 48.85. Butts guided Cox and Morris to All-EAGL First Team selections in 2007. Morris posted four 9.9s that season under Butts and averaged an impressive 9.85 in 13 meets to rank atop the league’s individual rankings. Morris would go on to place seventh in the NCAA Southeast Regional Championships. The Athens, Ga., native brought 12 years of club coaching experience to WVU, most recently from Classic City Gymnastics, where he trained men and women from 2001-06. He guided the women and men to Junior Olympic Nationals during that stretch, as well as sending athletes to the Region 8 Championships, while also assisting numerous gymnasts in earning Division I athletic scholarships in the process. Butts worked at the Woodward Camp (1994-96) and the UGA Gym Dog Camp (2004-06). He competed as a gymnast for 10 years, reaching Class I status, and he was a Junior Olympic National Qualifier. Butts received a bachelor’s degree in business administration and management from Georgia in 2006. He received a master’s degree in athletic coaching education at WVU in 2012.

Q&A

With Head Coach

Jason Butts

The 2014 schedule features eight teams ranked in the final 2013 GymInfo Poll, including three Super Six squads. Do you think the Mountaineers are prepared for such a tough slate? I’m really excited about this year’s schedule. It’s my hope that we’ll get our job done; that’s all we can really control. When we hit our 24 routines, our scores should be high against these competitive teams, providing us with a great opportunity to get some good road scores. Low scores on the road have held our regional qualifying score (RQS) down in the past, so I hope that we’ll be able to earn consistent 195.0-plus scores on the road, too. That’s the theory behind such a tough schedule. A team goal in 2013 was to earn a 196.0-plus score on the road so you could count it in your final RQS – is that an attainable goal this season? I think we will need two 196.0-plus road scores to be in the final top 18 and earn a seed for the regional championships. I’m hoping that competing against the top competition we will see on the road this year will aid us in scoring high. Bottom line is we will have to do our job and hit our routines. You open the season at Kentucky, with Penn State and Ball State, on Jan. 10. The Nittany Lions finished 2013 ranked No. 15, while the Wildcats ranked No. 21. Will you use this first meet as a barometer for your young squad? I want that meet to set the tone for the year. My mental focus is centered on making sure we’re ready to go there. I want to hit 24-for-24 and come out of Lexington with a great season-opening road score; we could only go up from there. Though the Mountaineers historically are very good at battling back from disappointing road trips, I want to avoid that trend this year. This is an easy trip to make, and it will feature quality opponents. I think if we can go down there and hit, we’ll start the season off on the right foot. The WVU Coliseum was very good to your team in 2013, as you scored 196.0 or better in every home meet, a feat previously unachieved in program history. What is it about the Coliseum that helps the Mountaineers thrive? I think competing in front of Mountaineer Nation provides us with a huge boost that cannot be duplicated. We feed off their energy. Competing in your home venue just provides so many intangible advantages – you’re on your own equipment, you can operate within your daily routine and you can sleep in your own bed. Ultimately, it’s just the experience of competing in the Coliseum that amps up this team. It seemed like we couldn’t miss in the Coliseum last season, and I think the team built on that. If we can do that this year, we hope to channel that energy into our road scores, too. We need that excitement on the road, too.

Do you think opposing teams get nervous to compete inside the WVU Coliseum? I think so – I think it’s an intimidating place. When we recruit Mountaineer gymnasts, we let them know that competing in the Coliseum is an unbelievable experience. I think that’s evident by our performances. We travel across the country during our season, and I think the Coliseum is by-far one of the best venues in which to compete. It’s an incredible experience, and I’m glad our team capitalizes on that. We own the WVU Coliseum, and that’s a point of pride. The 2014 Big 12 Championship will held at the WVU Coliseum on March 22. This is the first Big 12 Championship to be held in Morgantown. Is the team excited to welcome this type of event to WVU? I think hosting the championship will raise awareness of our program, which is exciting. I think Mountaineer fans are going to want to come to the Coliseum and see what a Big 12 championship is all about. I hope that we bring in a huge crowd, and I think it will even the playing field against Oklahoma and Iowa State.

You’ve gone on record and said that the 2013 season did not end the way the team would have liked. What did your 10 returners learn from the end of season, and how can they apply those lessons this year? This team is hungry – they hated the way the season ended last year, especially because many of them were here in 2012 and remember ending a season with a conference title and a strong showing at the NCAA Regional Championships. They want to do that again. Our senior class – Amanda Carpenter, Hope Sloanhoffer, Erica Smith and Bethany Yurko – is driven; I’ve never seen them work as hard as they have to earn a spot in the lineups. Our junior class – Beth Deal, Dayah Haley, Jamie Judge and Lia Salzano - is a very hard-working class. They have some very big goals, and they don’t want to wait to accomplish them next year – they’re ready to start now. Our sophomore class – Melissa Idell, Jaida Lawrence and Lindsey Litten – is ready to help the team as a whole achieve its goals. I think they want to experience a successful postseason. Everyone wants to keep the momentum built up throughout the season going as we head into April. Our focus is going to be on keeping high spirits; we don’t want one derailment to torpedo our whole season. We had to pull back last year and protect our lineups so we could maintain pace. This year, because we brought in so many freshmen, I think we could hit our competitive peak in March. We had six gymnasts that could hit in lineup last year, but we didn’t have depth behind those six. This year, I’m seeing gymnast No. 1 through gym-

nast No. 9 being equally strong, with No. 10 and No. 11 also being great. That’s what’s going to make this year different. When we get to March, we’re going to be pushing harder than we did before. We peaked too early before, and then we got complacent. I think we’re built to peak later this year. We’re going to push the hardest, as a team, in March. What did the team learn from its first season competing in the Big 12 Conference, and will you need to make any adaptions this year? We need to not worry about the other teams. A lot of people like to doubt us because Oklahoma is so strong each season. I want to get that theory out of our heads. As with most things, we need to only worry about what we can control. I think when Kaylyn Millick reached the podium for all-around at the 2013 Big 12 Gymnastics Championship, it was the first time this team realized it has a legit chance to win a conference title. I think everyone was shocked when Kaylyn finished second. This year, I think we have a few individuals who are Big 12 title contenders. When Beth Deal hits a beam routine, she is just as good as anyone in this league. Jaida Lawrence’s vault is one of the strongest in the nation. We have a great group of gymnasts this season that doesn’t want to disappoint anyone. The responsibility of channeling their energy and making smart decisions falls on this coaching staff. That’s huge. We need to make smart decisions and get this team’s confidence where it needs to be. On paper, this is the best team we’ve had at WVU since I joined the staff. We can sit here today and say that every event should hit 49.0-plus every meet.

Travis ASSISTANT COACH

DOAK

(SIXTH Year)

ravis Doak enters his sixth year at his alma mater as assistant coach and is responsible for coaching vault, bars and floor. He also oversees the Mountaineers’ recruiting efforts. Since Doak joined the staff in 2009, WVU has made five straight NCAA Regional Championships appearances, earned one conference championship and compiled an overall record of 81-41 (.664). Doak’s assistantship was evident in 2013, as he helped guide the Mountaineers through their first season in the Big 12 Conference. WVU went 196.0 or better in every home meet, a feat never before achieved in program history, and finished the year at 13-9 (1-3 Big 12). The Mountaineers were nationally ranked six times in the GymInfo Poll and peaked at No. 16. The squad finished third at its first Big 12 Gymnastics Championship and qualified for its 35th NCAA Regional appearance. Doak was integral in the success of the Mountaineers’ vault and floor lineup in 2013, as both units were nationally ranked each week but one. Jaida Lawrence concluded the year nationally ranked No. 43 on vault, and Alaska Richardson ranked No. 48 on floor. Additionally, he helped lead Kaylyn Millick and Hope Sloanhoffer to respective No. 27 and No. 42 allaround rankings. Lawrence earned the program’s first All-Big 12 honor, as she was named to the vault team, while Millick earned a spot on the All-Big 12 Championship Team for her second-place finish in the all-around. Under Doak, the Mountaineers have secured 51 all-conference honors, including 30 All-EAGL First Team awards, two gymnast of the year distinctions and two outstanding senior gymnast nods. Doak played a major role in 2012, helping the Mountaineers transition under first-year coach Jason Butts and parlay the change into instant success. In addition to the Mountaineers’ league-best seventh EAGL title, the team’s first since 2008, WVU advanced to the NCAA Auburn Regional Championships as the No. 5 seed and finished in fifth place with a 195.9 score, the team’s best-ever regional point total. With seven wins at the league championship, WVU finished the year with a 21-5 record, the program’s first 20-win season since 2008. The Mountaineers collected four individual league titles en route to the team win, with Sloanhoffer finishing first on vault, bars and the all-around, and Beth Deal taking the win on beam. Sloanhoffer ended the season ranked nationally on vault, beam and the all-around. Four gymnasts were ranked on vault in the Southeast Region, while three gymnasts each were ranked on bars and floor. As a team, the Mountaineers ranked in the nation’s top 10 on floor for three straight weeks. The team never dropped out of the top 25 on floor and ended the year ranked No. 21. Doak was instrumental in the team’s success in 2011, as he guided the vault and floor lineups to the No. 1 and No. 2 EAGL rankings, respectively.

Those lineups also ranked No. 17 and No. 21, respectively, in the nation. Integral in the development of Sloanhoffer, the rookie finished with nine EAGL weekly honors and first-team recognition on vault, floor and beam. She finished the year ranked No. 1 in the league on beam and vault, and No. 4 on floor; she also ranked nationally No. 17, No. 37 and No. 48, respectively, on each apparatus. Doak also mentored Tina Maloney to the No. 2 EAGL vault ranking, while Amy Bieski ranked No. 5 in the league. Bieski, the league’s gymnast and outstanding senior gymnast of the year, won the EAGL bars title, and Sloanhoffer and Maloney finished in a tie for second on vault at the championship. In total, three gymnasts vaulted to scores of 9.9 or better in 2011, including Sloanhoffer’s career-best 9.95 score. In his second season at WVU, Doak helped guide the Mountaineer vault and floor lineups to the No. 4 and No. 5 EAGL rankings. Additionally, he coached Bieski and Nicole Roach to All-EAGL first team floor and bars honors, respectively, and helped Chelsi Tabor attain the second-best league vault RQS of 9.855; the mark ranked No. 10 in the region and No. 47 in the nation. Doak’s first season with the Mountaineers was successful, as the team finished nationally ranked 17th on vault and 21st on bars. In the EAGL, the team finished ranked first on floor and second on vault and bars. In 2009, Doak helped coach Mehgan Morris to a national championships berth, as she finished fifth in the all-around at the NCAA Southeast Regional Championships. She also won EAGL bars, floor and all-around titles and was named the league’s most outstanding senior gymnast. Additionally, Tabor and Maloney earned the EAGL vault title in Doak’s first season. Six Mountaineers also earned 10 All-EAGL first team honors on vault, bars and floor. A native of Beverly, W.Va., Doak came to WVU after serving as an assistant coach at Penn State in 2008, where he was responsible for recruiting, team training, spotting on all skill levels and administrative duties. His primary coaching responsibilities included oversight of the Nittany Lion vault and floor exercise. He helped PSU sign four top-10 Junior Olympic finalists and guided the Nittany Lions to a 17-9 record. Doak also served as an assistant at New Hampshire in 2006-07. His responsibilities included team workouts, recruiting, video work and community service initiatives. He began his coaching career in 2004 as a volunteer assistant at West Virginia, working with spotting, fundraising and recruit evaluations. Doak earned his bachelor’s degree from West Virginia in sport management in 2006 and a master’s degree in athletic coaching education in 2008.

Bridget ASSISTANT COACH

BOYD

(THIRD Year)

ridget Boyd enters her third season at West Virginia University as an assistant coach and is responsible for coaching the balance beam lineup. She also oversees the team’s community service outreach program. Following the revitalization of the Mountaineer beam lineup in her first season, Boyd led the unit to the next level in 2013. After opening the year ranked No. 51 nationally, the group climbed its way into the nation’s top 25 and concluded the season ranked for five straight weeks, peaking at No.19. Among its many accomplishments, the beam lineup scored 49.0plus five times, three more times than in 2012, and earned a seasonbest 49.225 score in wins over George Washington and Temple and a loss to Denver at the WVU Coliseum on March 3. The mark, just short of the team’s best home beam score of 49.3, was the NCAA’s 17th-best team score earned in the regular season. Additionally, the total was WVU’s best since scoring a school-record 49.55 at Pitt with James Madison on March 9, 2004. Three gymnasts scored a team-best 9.875 throughout the year, while four student-athletes – Hope Sloanhoffer (No. 13), Kaylyn Millick (No. 15), Beth Deal (No. 20) and Lia Salzano (No. 22) – ended the season ranked in the Southeast region. Additionally, Millick and Sloanhoffer were nationally ranked No. 27 and No. 42, respectively, in the all-around. Instrumental in guiding the Mountaineers through their first season in the Big 12 Conference, Boyd helped lead WVU to a score of 196.0 or better in every home meet in 2013, a feat never before achieved in program history. The team finished the season at 13-9 (1-3 Big 12), was nationally ranked six times in the GymInfo Poll, peaking at No. 16, and finished third in its first Big 12 Gymnastics Championship. The Mountaineers also qualified for their 35th regional championships. Boyd rejuvenated the Mountaineer beam workers in 2012, as the team was ranked nationally for six weeks, peaking at No. 14. Anchored by EAGL champion Deal and first team All-EAGL honorees Sloanhoffer and Millick, the lineup scored 49.0-plus twice, including a season-best 49.025. Additionally, Sloanhoffer scored 9.9-plus twice, including a career-best 9.95 mark. She became the first WVU gymnast to hit the benchmark since 2004. The beam lineup was tasked with sealing the Mountaineers’ EAGL Championship victory. Competing with the lead in the final rotation, WVU scored 48.85, the team’s third-best score of the season, and solidified the win. The Mountaineers won their league-best seventh title, their first since 2008, with a final score of 196.475. Deal, the final gymnast to take to the beam, won the event outright with a careerhigh 9.9.

The Mountaineers’ beam performance also was crucial in the final meet of the season, as the team opened competition at the 2012 NCAA Auburn Regional Championships on the apparatus and scored 48.825, the team’s fourth-best score of the season and just short of the Mountaineers’ regional-best mark of 48.85. Sloanhoffer tied for third place with a 9.85 routine. WVU finished the meet in fifth place with a program regional-best score of 195.9. Boyd was instrumental in helping guide Sloanhoffer to EAGL Gymnast of the Year honors. Additionally, Sloanhoffer earned AllEAGL First Team beam honors, while Millick and Amanda Carpenter were named to the second team. The Mountaineers are 34-14 (.708) with Boyd on staff. A native of Elberton, Ga., Boyd came to WVU with 12 years of club coaching experience. Most recently a coach at Oconee Gymnastics Center in Watkinsville, Ga., Boyd also coached at Classic City Gymnastics Academy and Georgia Elite, both Georgia-based clubs. Additionally, she coached at WVU Gymnastics Camp and has experience coaching all four events. While at Georgia Elite, Boyd coached several level 10 regional championships qualifiers, including three-year (2007-09) Junior Olympic National Championships qualifier Lindsey Cheek. Cheek went on to earn a scholarship to Georgia. Boyd also mentored gymnasts to the level 9 Eastern National Championships. In addition to coaching at the WVU Gymnastics Camp, Boyd also has coached at Brown’s Gymnastics Camp (2001) and UGA Gymdog Camp (2001-05, ’08). A 13-year competitive gymnast, Boyd competed at Classic City Gymnastics Academy and was a level 9 Eastern National Championships qualifier. Boyd earned her bachelor’s degree from Georgia in recreation and leisure studies in 2006.

Gymnastics Preview

Back for Seconds

The West Virginia University gymnastics team returns to the gym in 2014 for its second season in the Big 12 Conference. The Mountaineers will take to the road for their first-ever Big 12 regular-season meet away from the WVU Coliseum in February, as the squad will meet Iowa State in Ames, Iowa, on Feb. 7. The team will then face Oklahoma, the 2013 NCAA National Championships runners-up and two-time reigning conference champions, Michigan and Alabama at The Perfect 10 Challenge on Feb. 21, at the Cox Arena, in Oklahoma City. The meet features three top-seven teams, as the Crimson Tide, the 2011 and 2012 national champions, finished third at last year’s championships, and the Wolverines placed seventh. The gymnasts will compete on podium, the first time any current Mountaineer has competed on podium at the collegiate level. Though WVU will not play host to a Big 12 Conference regularseason meet, the Mountaineers will welcome both league opponents to Morgantown, as the 2014 Big 12 Gymnastics Championship is set for Saturday, March 22. It marks the first time a Big 12 Conference Championship will be held on the WVU campus. The Mountaineers are 1-3 all-time in Big 12 action, earning their first victory with a 196.15-194.825 win over Iowa State on Feb. 10, 2013, at the WVU Coliseum.

Road Warriors

The Mountaineers’ 2014 road slate will certainly challenge the team, as the squad will face seven teams that finished ranked in the top 25 of the final 2013 GymInfo Poll. WVU opens at No. 21 Kentucky, with No. 15 Penn State and Ball State, on Jan. 10, before traveling to No. 22 Maryland on Jan. 17.

Following The Perfect 10 Challenge on Feb. 21, and a home meet against No. 18 Ohio State on March 2, the Mountaineers will travel to Gainesville, Fla., for a dual meet against the defending national champion Florida Gators on March 7. WVU will conclude its road schedule back in College Park, Md., against the Terrapins on March 16. “This is our toughest schedule since I’ve been associated with the program,” says Butts. “This slate has been a long time in the making. It’s a great challenge for the team, but going against this type of competition will only help our road scores. “I maintain that you’re only as good as your competition, and we’re really going to see where this program stands this year. I think it’s great that we will meet a lot of teams that garner national exposure, and I think that motivates our team to do the best it can against top squads. I fully expect the Mountaineers to rise up to the level of these teams.”

Be Our Guest!

The Mountaineers will play host to the annual “Beauty and the Beast” meet on Friday, Feb. 14, at 6 p.m., at the WVU Coliseum. The WVU gymnastics team will compete against former East Atlantic Gymnastics League foe Pitt, while the wrestling team will compete against Clarion simultaneously. A crowd of 2,522 fans, the sixth-best attendance mark in program history, saw the Mountaineers defeat Iowa State, 196.15-194.825, at last year’s “Beauty and the Beast.”

Follow the Leaders

Four seniors return to lead the Mountaineers in 2014: Amanda Carpenter, Hope Sloanhoffer, Erica Smith and Bethany Yurko. Thirdyear coach Jason Butts does not name team captains.

Sloanhoffer’s Last Stand

Senior Hope Sloanhoffer is expected to conclude her career near the top of many Mountaineer all-time lists. The Cornwall, N.Y., native needs less than 10 points to break onto the WVU Top 20 Career Points chart, as she enters the season just outside the list with 1,368.975 points. Having competed in 26 of 38 career meets as an all-arounder, Sloanhoffer ranks No. 4 all-time with 18 39.0+ scores. She paced the Mountaineers in 2013 and earned 468.15 points, the program’s 38thbest single-season point total. Sloanhoffer finished her junior season ranked No. 42 nationally, No. 8 in the Southeast region and No. 6 in the Big 12 in the allaround with a 39.16 regional qualifying score (RQS). One of the team’s strongest beam and vault workers, she also ranked No. 13 regionally (9.83 RQS) and No. 23 (9.81) on each event.

Fresh Skills

Seven newcomers join the Mountaineers this season: sophomore transfer Lindsey Litten (Central Michigan), and freshmen Brooklyn

Doggette, Alexa Goldberg, Emma Lasker, Mackenzie Myers, Rachel Sine and Nicolette Swoboda. Goldberg and Swoboda have potential to see time on all four events, while Litten should provide needed depth to the uneven bars lineup. Additionally, Lasker will push for a spot on the vault lineup, and Myers will push on floor.

Conference Promises Continued Success

Though small, the Big 12 Conference is one of the most respected leagues in NCAA gymnastics. The conference has been represented by at least one team at the National Championships every year since 2002. In that time span, a conference-best three teams have advanced to the NCAA 12-team meet in 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2010. Additionally, in the last 11 years, the conference has sent at least one team to the NCAA Super Six Championships eight times, including two teams in 2006 and 2011. Oklahoma represented the Big 12 in 2013 and finished in second place.

Event-by-Event Vault

Preview

The Mountaineers’ vault lineup took a big hit with the graduation of Chelsea Goldschrafe, Kaylyn Millick and Alaska Richardson. Often the lineup’s anchor, Richardson tallied four event wins last season and finished the year ranked No. 7 in the Big 12 Conference with a 9.865 regional qualifying score (RQS). Millick ranked No. 9 in the conference with a 9.825 RQS. Despite the departures, WVU returns one of the top vaulters in the nation in sophomore Jaida Lawrence. An All-Big 12 vault honoree, she finished in the top three eight times in 2013, including two separate streaks of three straight wins. Lawrence vaulted below 9.85 twice and finished the year with a team-best 9.863 average and ranked No. 43 nationally with a 9.89 RQS. Also back this season are seniors Hope Sloanhoffer, ranked No. 10 in the Big 12 in 2013 with a 9.81 RQS, and Bethany Yurko, and juniors Dayah Haley and Lia Salzano. Haley has opened the lineup in all but two career meets. “Hope looks better than she has in previous seasons,” says assistant coach Travis Doak. “Jaida is going to be great this year, and Dayah will continue to be a force.” Doak believes the lineup has the potential for explosiveness, noting that senior Erica Smith and freshmen Emma Lasker and Nicolette Swoboda could earn a competition spot this year. “There’s a ton of potential with this unit,” he continues. “By the end of the season, we should be incredible. We may be just okay in January, but I’m excited for the later meets.”

Uneven Bars

The excitement around the Mountaineers’ 2014 uneven bars lineup has reached a fevered pitch. One of the team’s weaker units over the last few seasons, WVU looks to consistently score 49.0-plus each meet this year. Tops among the lineup’s returners are seniors Erica Smith and Sloanhoffer. The duo ranked No. 24 in the Southeast region in 2013 with 9.78 RQSs. Combined, they tallied eight top-five finishes last year. Additional returners include Haley, Salzano and Lawrence. “Jaida has improved tremendously,” Butts says. “She is cleaner than she was as a freshman. While she built up to a 9.8 score last year, she should be able to attain that score right off the bat this season.” Butts is high on the freshmen’s potential, noting that Alexa Goldberg and Rachel Sine could potentially score 9.8 or better on a weekly basis. Rookies Nicolette Swoboda and Brooklyn Doggette, and sophomore transfer Lindsey Litten also are expected to step into the lineup. “Alexa could anchor this lineup,” says Butts. “She packs a lot of power into her small frame and competes a really exciting routine.”

Balance Beam

The Mountaineer beam lineup was much improved in 2013, scoring 49.0 or better six times, including a seasonbest 49.225 score, their best mark since earning a program-record 49.55 in 2004. Millick, Sloanhoffer and junior Beth Deal all earned season-high scores of 9.875 and were ranked in the conference’s top 10. Of the squad’s final six counters of the 2013 season, only Millick doesn’t return. “Having so many returners is helpful because everyone gained a lot of confidence last year,” says assistant coach Bridget Boyd. In addition to Sloanhoffer and Deal, who will compete a new mount this season, senior Amanda Carpenter, Smith and Salzano should all see time in the

lineup. Haley gained experience as a sophomore and will push for a lineup spot this year, while Goldberg, Swoboda, sophomores Melissa Idell and Doggette will add depth. “All our newcomers have a unique style that adds a spark of creativity to our presentation this season,” Boyd continues. “Also, Dayah is looking great – unbelievable improvement. “I have a lot of early confidence in this unit. I’m glad we have so many upperclassmen that can compete in this lineup. That will allow us to focus on our three other events.”

Floor Exercise

The loss of Goldschrafe, Millick and Richardson also will be felt on floor, as they each competed in all but one meet last season. Richardson ranked No. 48 nationally, No. 4 in the Big 12, with a 9.88 RQS, while Millick was the team’s most consistent gymnast and ranked No. 6 in the conference with a 9.875 RQS. Doak is confident that the Mountaineers will maintain their national prominence on floor. “I actually think we may be better than we were in 2013,” he explains. “I have a lot of trust in the athletes that will be competing, and I’m excited in the newcomers’ potential.” Among the newcomers expected to see time this year are Goldberg, Swoboda and freshman Mackenzie Myers. “Nicolette hits,” says Doak. “Alexa is going to be a standout and a crowd favorite.” Haley broke into the lineup last season and competed five times. She brings back her full-in opening pass and is expected to be a season-long contributor this year. Also back are Idell, Lawrence and Sloanhoffer, who will bring back the choreography and music from her freshman season. “Can we replace the scores we lost right off the bat? Probably not,” says Butts. “Hopefully, we’re going to get six consistent 9.8 routines, and I think that will take us further this year. Our routines are stronger this year, and our difficulty level is higher. This is a scary change, but it’s exciting, too.”

Uncharted Territory

For the first time in program history, the Mountaineers scored 196.0+ in every home meet at the WVU Coliseum in 2013. WVU tallied a season-best 196.55 on Feb. 24 in a second-place effort against No. 3 Michigan, New Hampshire and Towson; the mark was the 10th-best score in program history. The team followed that up with a 196.375 score, its second-best mark of the season, in a second-place finish against No. 13 Denver, George Washington and Temple on March 3. That score ranks No. 13 in program history. WVU first topped the threshold on Feb. 1, as the squad earned 196.05 in a second-place effort in its home opener against No. 2 Oklahoma, Western Michigan and William & Mary. The Mountaineers came back the next week and bested the mark with a 196.15 showing in a victory over Iowa State, the team’s first Big 12 Conference win. Those scores rank No. 22 and No. 20, respectively, in program history. WVU matched its No. 22-best score with a 196.05 showing in wins over Maryland and Rutgers in its regular-season finale on March 15. The 2004 WVU team was the only squad to score more than five 196.0+ marks in a season, as those Mountaineers earned six that year, including three scores of 197.0 or better.

NCAA Morgantown Regional Championships

The Mountaineers finished their 2013 campaign in front of the WVU faithful, as the squad played host to the 2013 NCAA Morgantown Regional Championships on April 6 at the WVU Coliseum. WVU finished fifth with a score of 194.475. Alaska Richardson earned the highest finish of any Mountaineer, as she tied for second on floor with a 9.875 mark, just missing an individual qualification for the NCAA National Championships. Kaylyn Millick tied for ninth overall with a 39.0 mark, while Hope Sloanhoffer tallied 38.9 and finished 12th. The Mountaineers have earned 35 regional championships berths and 30 in NCAA competition. The meet was the eighth regional championships held in Morgantown since 1983.

ALASKA RICHARDSON

KAYLYN MILLICK

Climbing the Chart

The Mountaineers were ranked in the 2013 GymInfo Poll six times, including a season-best No. 16 in the Feb. 25 poll. After earning a No. 24 ranking in the preseason coaches’ poll, WVU jumped to No. 22 on Jan. 14 before falling out. A four-week battle pushed the Mountaineers back in at No. 25 on Feb. 18. Following its season-best mark, the team dropped to No. 21 for two straight weeks and was ranked No. 25 on March 18.

Challenging Slate

The Mountaineers faced one of their toughest schedules ever in 2013. Prior to its fifth-place showing at the NCAA Morgantown Regional Championships, WVU ended the season at 1-7 against ranked opponents. The team’s only win was a 192.125-191.05 victory over then-No. 20 Southern Utah at Utah on Jan. 19; the Mountaineers were ranked No. 22 at the time. WVU competed against three top-10 teams, including Oklahoma twice, and faced seven squads ranked in the top 20.

Millick Makes Most of Final Season

Kaylyn Millick rode the hottest scoring streak of her three-year Mountaineer career in 2013, as the senior tallied eight scores of 39.0 or better in her final nine meets, including a career-best score of 39.4 on Feb. 1. Millick won four of her final eight all-around competitions and finished second at the Big 12 Gymnastics Championships with a 39.2 score. For her achievement, she was named to the All-Big 12 Championship Team, the first such honor for a Mountaineer gymnast. Millick reached the podium a team-best 23 times in 2013 and set or matched career highs on all four events: vault (9.85), bars (9.9), beam (9.875) and floor (9.95).

All-Conference Talent

Jaida Lawrence was named to the 2013 All-Big 12 Gymnastics Team, the first and only Mountaineer gymnast to earn the award. She earned a vault recognition based on her 9.89 RQS, the third-best mark in the conference prior to the Big 12 Championships. Lawrence scored 9.875 or better eight times in 2013, including a career-best 9.9 four times. She won the individual title six times and put together two separate streaks of three straight victories. Lawrence also was named the Big 12 Newcomer of the Week twice.

Earning Respect

Three Mountaineer gymnasts earned a combined six Big 12 Conference weekly awards in 2013. Alaska Richardson was named the Big 12 Event Specialist of the Week a conference-best three times, while Jaida Lawrence scored the Big 12 Newcomer of the Week honor twice. Additionally, Hope Sloanhoffer was the first Mountaineer to earn the Big 12 Gymnast of the Week tag, as she scored the award on March 5.

Mountaineer Nation

The WVU gymnastics team set multiple attendance records in 2013. A season-best 2,522 fans, the sixth-best mark in program history, were in attendance for the second-ever “Beauty & the Beast” meet vs. Iowa State on Feb. 10, while 1,881 fans, the 10th-largest Coliseum crowd for a gymnastics meet, were on hand for the Mountaineers’ home season-opener against No. 2 Oklahoma, Western Michigan and William & Mary on Feb. 1. Additionally, 1,836 fans came out to the Coliseum for the NCAA Morgantown Regional Championships on April 6. WVU finished the year ranked No. 27 nationally, boasting a home average attendance mark of 1,558.4.

All-Time SCOREs Nanette Schnaible

Armed with a thrifty $6,000 budget, Schnaible, West Virginia’s first gymnastics coach, took a team consisting of mostly former club gymnasts and guided WVU to a 5 2 record. Schnaible’s lone season at the helm of the fledgling program produced wins against Pitt, Fairmont State (twice) and Frostburg State (twice).

Only the second coach in the history of West Virginia gymnastics, Burdette-Good constantly worked to upgrade the Mountaineer program. She took the program from its infancy as a member of the West Virginia Conference in the AIAW all the way to the NCAA Championships. The WVU alumna coached All-Americans Janàe Cox, Lajuanda Moody, Kristin Quackenbush and Shari Retton and was named 1995 NCAA Southeast Regional Coach of the Year. In 2004, she eclipsed the 500-win milestone, and in 2009, she amassed over 600 victories, making her the all-time winningest Mountaineer coach with a WVU team. She retired in 2011 after 37 highly successful and memorable seasons.

2 Seasons: 2012- · Record: 34-14

Elevated to the head coach position after serving five years as an assistant under 37-year coach Linda Burdette-Good, coach Jason Butts is determined to put the West Virginia University gymnastics team back on the national slate. Following a fantastic first season that saw the Mountaineers secure their first 20-win season since 2008 and earn their league-best seventh EAGL title, Butts guided WVU though a difficult 2013 schedule in its first season in the Big 12 Conference. That WVU team became the first squad in the program’s history to tally 196.0 or better in every home regular-season meet.

Championship APPEARANCES 1982 AIAW Championships

Led by an unheralded freshman from Fairmont, W.Va., named Shari Retton, the 1982 gymnastics team surprised the country by finishing third at the AIAW Championships in Memphis, Tenn. Coach Linda Burdette’s Mountaineers, at the University’s first ever national championships, finished behind first place Florida and runner up Alabama, and ahead of national powers Georgia, Ohio State, Brigham Young and Washington State, among others. Retton captured First Team All-America honors on the vault, uneven parallel bars, floor exercise and the all-around. WVU qualified for the championships by winning the EAIAW Regional at Clarion State. The Mountaineers scored 139.25 points to edge Yale’s 138.35. That title is still WVU’s only regional championship. The 1982 season saw 18 wins against seven losses. The biggest win of the season was a 142.30142.10 victory against eventual national champion Florida, a meet that WVU won on the last gymnast of the last rotation. The 142.30 points was a school record at the time. Also during the 1982 season, West Virginia beat Duke, Kentucky, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Maryland and Pitt. A side note to the season were Retton’s ties to the athletic world. Her younger sister, Mary Lou, went on to become an Olympic Gold Medalist. Her father, Ronnie, played basketball for the Mountaineers from 1957-59. After winning four letters and graduating, Retton later married Mike Timko, a former Mountaineer quarterback (1985-87). The 1982 season was WVU’s last year in the AIAW after a nine-year association. The Mountaineers began NCAA competition with the 1983 season.

1995 NCAA Championships

After years of being on the outside looking in, the 1995 WVU gymnastics team took the step to the next level with an at large bid to the 1995 NCAA Championships in Athens, Ga. The senior led group found the right mix of talent, desire, experience and coaching and put it all together when it counted at the NCAA Southeast Regional. In fact, the whole season was something magical. Ten team records were set or tied throughout the course of the year, while five individual marks were reached. The 15-6 Mountaineers won their fourth straight Atlantic 10 title, and Karla Hairston and Kristin Quackenbush were named Atlantic 10 Gymnasts of the Year, while Umme Salim garnered A10 Freshman of the Year honors.

1999 NCAA Championships

What appeared initially as a tragedy for the 1999 West Virginia gymnastics team was actually an awakening. The Mountaineers had attained a 17-2 record prior to the East Atlantic Gymnastics League meet and entered the meet as one of only three schools from the EAGL ranked in the Top 25. For the first time since the inception of the EAGL in 1996, the Mountaineers failed to win the EAGL crown in 1999. But, despite finishing an uncharacteristic sixth at the EAGL Championships at Maryland, the Mountaineers couldn’t have scripted a more opportune time to amend that setback, regroup, and really let their true colors show than at the NCAA Regionals before the home crowd. West Virginia hosted the NCAA Region 6 Championships at the WVU Coliseum, which assembled five of the top-25 teams in the country, including No. 2 Alabama. The Mountaineers showcased their most brilliant talent at this meet and attained a 195.275 team score, placing them second in their region behind Alabama and qualifying them for their second trip to the national championship in five years. Although the Mountaineers placed 12th at the NCAA Championship in Salt Lake City, coach Linda Burdette had plenty of reasons to be proud of her squad. Five WVU gymnasts earned All-EAGL notice and for the fourth straight season, the Mountaineers were undefeated in the Coliseum in regular-season competition. One of the most significant of those wins came on February 20, when the Mountaineers defeated Minnesota and North Carolina State, giving Burdette the 400th and 401st victories of her career. She became the fourth coach in school history to reach that milestone. Senior Nikki West punctuated her stellar vaulting career with two more perfect 10.0s in 1999. West scored five 10.0s on vault, tying her with former WVU gymnast Kristin Quakenbush for the most perfect scores in school history.

Coach Linda Burdette was named NCAA Southeast Regional Coach of the Year. Freshman Adriana Manago earned NACGC/W scholastic All-America status, while WVU’s first ever trip to the NCAA Championships was highlighted by Quackenbush, the talented sophomore all-arounder who earned second team All-America honors on the floor exercise. The most rewarding accomplishment of the 1995 season was that of WVU’s three seniors, Liz Byrnes, Jenni Kaye and Shannon Migli, all of whom overcame injuries that plagued them their first three years in Morgantown to become major contributors in WVU’s run to the championships. Pictured here are the members of WVU’s 1995 NCAA team (left to right):

2000 NCAA Championships

From the very start, those around the 2000 gymnastics team knew this team would be a special one. Focused around some exciting newcomers and perhaps the most storied senior class in school history the Mountaineers were destined to rewrite the WVU record book.

Although the Mountaineers finished in 12th place, the 2000 season stands out as one where WVU showed tremendous determination and heart. The individual talent was amazing, but it was how the 2000 Mountaineers jelled together that made the West Virginia coaching staff the proudest.

West Virginia posted a 19-10 record and established four of the top10 team scores in school history, including three of the top four. The Mountaineers also set school event records on the vault and beam and tied the school mark on bars. But despite its record-setting season, WVU struggled at the EAGL Championships, finishing a disappointing fifth.

Sophomore Kristen Macrie proved to be the heart and soul of the team and was WVU’s most consistent gymnast throughout the year. Despite not leading the team in any individual event, Macrie’s consistency was her calling card for the season.

With a sour taste in their mouths, the 2000 Mountaineers were determined to do what no other WVU team had done before - earn a trip to the NCAA Championships for a second straight season.

The freshman class, which was called the best recruiting class ever by coaches in the preseason, lived up to its billing with TeShawne Jackson and Dinorh Boyd turning in numerous top-five finishes, while Amanda Halovanic found her niche for the Mountaineers on vault and floor.

To do that, West Virginia had to finish in the top-two slots at the Region 2 Championship meet in Minneapolis, Minn. Not an easy task considering the competition, which included No. 3 Utah and Top-25 teams Denver and Minnesota. The Mountaineers, largely behind the efforts of seniors Kelly Foley and Danielle Lilly, managed to scrap and claw their way to a second-place finish. West Virginia proved its shaky performance at the EAGL meet to be an aberration by simply being more consistent than the opposition and earning a trip to the NCAA Championship in Boise, Idaho.

But the 2000 season will forever be linked to its senior class of Foley, Lilly, Shirley Lee and Jessica Nonnemacher. Foley and Lilly provided much of the leadership, with each enjoying her finest season as a Mountaineer. Lee saw her season cut short at the midway point, but her early season performances provided the underclassmen with the opportunity to find their stride. One of the lasting images of the 2000 season will be of Nonnemacher, who despite being told by doctors in 1998 that her career was over, returned to compete on bars.

Pictured below are members of WVU’s 2000 NCAA team (left to right):

Front Row: TeShawne Jackson, Jessica Rohm, Kelly Foley, Shirley Lee and Dinorh Boyd; Second Row: Jen Cooper, Danielle Lilly, Jessica Nonnemacher, Kristen Muirhead and Erin Signoracci; Third Row: Kristen Macrie, Allison Pratus and Melissa Mascaro; Back Row: Allison Gaidish, Jaime Hill, Amanda Halovanic and Christen Simpson.

Shari Retton

Shari Retton-Timko was WVU’s first women’s sports All-American, earning first-team honors in the allaround, floor exercise, uneven bars and vault at the 1982 AIAW National Gymnastics Championships in Memphis.

A four-year letterwinner, Retton, just a freshman, helped the 10th-seeded Mountaineers finish third at those national championships, while she posted a third place individual finish in the all-around (36.30). Two-time team captain, Retton went on to earn a number of accolades, including NCAA regional balance beam champion, Most Valuable Gymnast and Atlantic 10 Senior of the Year. WVU qualified for the NCAA regionals each year during her career. She was inducted into the WVU Sports Hall of Fame in 2001. The daughter of Ronnie Retton, who captained WVU’s 1959 NCAA runner-up basketball team, the Fairmont, W.Va., native is the older sister of Olympic champion gymnast Mary Lou Retton; their brother Ron played baseball at WVU. Married to former WVU quarterback Mike Timko, Shari currently lives in Houston, Pa.

Oliver LUCK

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY

Successful at each of his previous career stops, Oliver Luck continues that streak at West Virginia University. A former Mountaineer quarterback, Luck, appointed the University’s 11th Director of Athletics by President James P. Clements on June 9, 2010, has made significant strides in his first three years to enhance WVU’s role as a major player in the collegiate world. In his first year, Luck hired four head coaches, while maintaining WVU’s superior level of success. In addition to new hires, Luck oversaw the progress of major capital projects, such as the $25 million WVU basketball practice facility for men’s and women’s basketball and the women’s soccer training complex. He also fostered an atmosphere for achievement and triumph in the classroom and on the field. In year two, Luck led WVU into the Big 12 Conference, oversaw the best fundraising year in school history, implemented several safety and crowd enhancements at Mountaineer sporting events, increased overall department revenue, continued a master plan for facility upgrades and watched his football program gain its third BCS bowl victory with a record-setting 70-33 win in the Orange Bowl. In year three, Luck oversaw the reseating of the WVU Coliseum to further increase WVU’s fundraising efforts. He added an 18th varsity sport - the return of men’s golf – teeing it up in 2015 for the first time since 1982, and he continues his tireless work on facility upgrades to keep the Mountaineers competitive in the Big 12.

2010-present

Luck’s athletic and professional career has been the epitome of success, first as a record-setting quarterback for the Mountaineers from 1978-81, then as a professional quarterback for the National Football League’s Houston Oilers, and later as a professional sports executive. Luck’s journey to the big chair at WVU began in his native Cleveland, where in 1977 he was named the Cleveland Touchdown Club Player of the Year at St. Ignatius High. Luck chose WVU over Ivy League schools Harvard and Yale, embarking upon a career that saw him establish school records for touchdown passes and completions during his playing days, while also leading the Mountaineers to a 26-6 upset victory over Florida in the 1981 Peach Bowl. His best season came as a senior in 1981 when he completed 216 of 394 passes for 2,448 yards and 16 touchdowns. He passed for a career-high 360 yards in a 27-24 loss to Syracuse at the Carrier Dome in the final regular-season game of his career. Luck ended his college career with 5,765 yards and 43 touchdown passes, both figures still ranking among the best in school history. Luck was a two-time team MVP in 1980 and 1981, and also received the Louis D. Meisel Award for the WVU football student-athlete with the highest grade point average. The two-time ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American was the recipient of Today’s Top Five, presented for scholastics by the NCAA and was selected by the National Football Foundation as one of its 10 scholar-athletes to make a keynote speech at its annual banquet in 1982. Selected in the second round of the NFL draft by the Houston Oilers (44th overall pick), Luck spent four years with the Oilers from 1982-86. His most extended action came in 1983 when he started six games and finished the season completing 124-of-217 passes for 1,375 yards and eight touchdowns. After retiring from football, Luck became vice president of business development for the NFL and later was appointed general manager of the Frankfurt Galaxy of the newly created World League of American Football. He spent the ’95 season as general manager of the Rhein Fire before being named President and CEO of NFL Europe in 1996. Luck totaled more than 10 years with the NFL, before becoming chief executive officer of the Harris County-Houston Sports Authority in 2001. In that role, Luck oversaw the development and management of a $1 billion professional sports and entertainment complex for the city of Houston that included Minute Maid Park, home of the Houston Astros, Reliant Stadium, home of the Houston Texans, the Toyota Center, home of the Houston Rockets, Comets and Aeros and the Livestock Show and Rodeo. In 2005, Luck was appointed as the first president of Major League Soccer’s Houston Dynamos, helping that organization to a pair of MLS Cup titles in his first two years at the helm. Luck secured the funding for an $80 million soccer complex to house the Dynamos when the call came to return to his alma mater. BBVA Compass Stadium was built and opened in 2012 adding to Luck’s legacy with the professional soccer team, and the overall Houston sports facility complexes. He returned in May, 2012 for the opening ceremony of the soccer stadium that he fought so hard for. Prior to his current position at WVU, Luck was appointed to a four-year term on the West Virginia University Board of Governors, a spot he relinquished to become director of athletics. The Rhodes Scholar finalist graduated Phi Beta Kappa from WVU in 1982. He also earned a law degree from Texas, graduating cum laude in 1987. In 1997, Luck was inducted into the West Virginia University Sports Hall of Fame, and in 2000, he was inducted into the CoSIDA Academic All-America Hall of Fame. “It’s an incredible honor for me to be the athletic director at my alma mater,” said Luck. “I care deeply about this school, and WVU is truly one of the outstanding land-grant universities in the country. I am so pleased to be a part of the leadership team assembled under President Clements at a dynamic and strategic time in its history.” He is married to the former Kathy Wilson. They have two sons and two daughters: Andrew, a former All-American quarterback and two-time Heisman Trophy finalist at Stanford and No. 1 overall pick of the 2012 NFL draft by the Indianapolis Colts; Mary Ellen, a senior volleyball player at Stanford; Emily, a sophomore at Stanford and Addison, who attends Morgantown High.

Scoring Information Scoring Information In collegiate team competition, six gymnasts perform on each of the four apparatuses (vault, uneven parallel bars, balance beam and floor exercise). The five best individual scores per event comprise the cumulative team total. Collegiate competition requires at least two judges to evaluate the score of an athlete’s performance. Their scores are averaged to arrive at a final mark. A perfect team score is 200, with top collegiate scores ranging between 193.00 and 198.00. Optional routines, choreographed to express the gymnasts’ skills that they perform best, are based on a score of 9.5 with a possibility of an additional five-tenths for completing more difficult skills and or combinations. Judges use the following categories to evaluate optional routines: Value parts (difficulty)

Vault

The vaulting event requires speed, quickness and explosive power. Vaults are divided into four categories: handsprings, forward saltos, backward saltos and vaults from a roundoff. This is just the fifth season that vaults from a roundoff will be permitted in collegiate competition. Each of these vaults is assigned a value of up to 10.0. Deductions are taken from the starting value of the vault. Basis for deductions stems from technical errors in the areas of pre-flight (approach to the horse), repulsion (the rise off the horse), and after-flight (distance and height from the horse). The gymnast must remain motionless upon landing or a deduction will be taken. The most common vaults are a handspring on-front somersault off, tucked position 9.8, piked position 9.9. Some of the more difficult vaults include a 1/2 on, 1/2 off front lay-out

(10.0), full twisting lay-out Tsuk (10.0), pike front 1/2 (10.0), tuck 1/2 (9.9) and piked (9.9).

Uneven Bars

A complete routine on the uneven bars comprises some 10 to 15 moves, consisting mainly of swinging and suspension skills utilizing both bars with many regrasps. A change of direction is required in the routine, while pauses for concentration,extra swings and uncharacteristic elements are to be avoided. The gymnast must change bars two times, and must have at least two flight elements. As mentioned above under scoring, bonus parts worth up to 0.5 can be awarded for completing difficult skills. On this event, some of the bonus moves include somersaulting release moves, difficult pirouette work and somersaulting dismounts.

Balance Beam

The routine must be composed of elements from the following groups: tumbling with and without flight, strength and dance (i.e. turns, leaps and body waves). Special requirements on the balance beam are a tumbling series, a large jump, a full turn and a series of skills combining dance and

acrobatics. The routine must last between 1:10 and 1:30. Performing on the beam requires precise movement and intense concentration, as each wobble results in a deduction. Elements performed on the beam that receive bonus points are somersaulting mounts, double-back dismounts, double turns, one-arm handstands and jumps showing maximum flexibility.

Floor Exercise

Floor exercise is a combination of dance, tumbling and acrobatics performed to music. Creative and dynamic changes in rhythm and energy levels help to create an exciting routine where composition plays an important role. The exercise must last between 1:10 and 1:30. A routine consists of two or three tumbling “passes” and the gymnast must balance the difficulty of her tumbling skills and dance skills and should finish the routine as strongly as it was started. Bonus points are awarded on this event for more than two twists in the same somersault, a double-back preceded by a front or back somersault, a triple turn and certain unique dance elements. Specific deductions are taken for stepping off the mat and for being out of sync with the music.
