COACHING

STAFF

Head Coach Jason Butts ��������������������������� 30 Q&A with Coaching Staff ���������������������������� 33 Associate Head Coach Travis Doak ����������� 35 Assistant Coach Kaylyn Millick ������������������ 37 Support Staff ���������������������������������������������� 38

Following 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.

Since his appointment, Butts has compiled a 91-65-1 (.593) career record with the Mountaineers. He has led WVU to six appearances at the NCAA Regional Championships and a program best, secondplace showing at the 2015 Big 12 Gymnastics Championship.

The Mountaineers were at their most consistent in 2018, as WVU did not count a fall in all but one meet and finished the year at 13-13 (0-6).

WVU made its fourth consecutive appearance at the NCAA Regional Championships, its sixth qualification under Butts, and finished fourth at the 2018 Big 12 Gymnastics Championship with a 195.625 score, its second-best mark in a championship away from Morgantown. Additionally, WVU sat within the national rankings four times throughout the season.

The Mountaineers made their mark in the record book in 2018, as WVU posted five team scores that rank in the program’s Top 50 scores list. Four of the scores were 196.0 or better, and three were earned away from the WVU Coliseum, a feat never achieved before by a Mountaineer team.

For the third consecutive season, a Mountaineer earned AllAmerica accolades, as junior Kirah Koshinski was named to the NACGC/W All-America Second Team for vault, her third career honor. She is only the second Mountaineer gymnast in program history to earn at least three career awards.

Academically, a program-record 10 Mountaineers were named to the 2018 Academic All-Big 12 Gymnastics Team, with eight landing on the first team, also a program record. Additionally, for the second consecutive season and the fourth time since 1987, a program-best 10 gymnasts were named Scholastic All-Americans by the NACGC/W. WVU ranked No. 28 nationally and tops among Big 12 Conference schools with a team grade point average (GPA) of 3.5233.

The 2017 season was one of the Mountaineers’ strongest outings under Butts. Not only did WVU have a presence at the NCAA National Championships, as junior Zaakira Muhammad qualified in the all-around, but the program also saw a pair of All-Americans crowned and finished the year ranked No. 20 in the Road to Nationals Rankings.

JASON

HEAD COACH EIGHTH SEASON

The Mountaineers punctuated the 2017 season with a program-best showing at the NCAA Morgantown Regional Championships, finishing third overall with a 196.325 mark. The record mark, just 0.3 points short of second-place Alabama, also was a season high. The Mountaineers set a program regional record on uneven bars (49.35) and matched the program’s regional floor record (49.225).

Additionally, Muhammad earned her national championships bid with a fourth place, 39.325 showing in the all-around, while Koshinski placed second on floor with a 9.925 mark.

Muhammad finished eighth on floor exercise in the second semifinal session at the 2017 NCAA National Championships, scoring a program NCAA record 9.9125 and earning All-America Second Team accolades.

She became the first Mountaineer since 2007 to earn All-America honors at the NCAA National Championships.

Additionally, Muhammad scored 9.8 on bars, matching the program’s championship record.

Koshinski also was named to the NACGC/W All-America Second Team for the second straight season, giving WVU

two All-Americans in one season for the second time in program history and the first time since 1994. Koshinski also earned her second career All-Big 12 Gymnastics Vault Team accolade.

The Mountaineers were nationally ranked each week but three in 2017. WVU concluded the year ranked No. 20 in the Road to Nationals Rankings, the team’s highest position in the final season rankings since finishing No. 18 in 2007. The squad’s final season record stood at 13-10, 3-3 in Big 12 Conference competition.

A program-record 10 gymnasts were named Scholastic All-Americans by the NACGC/W. As a team, WVU ranked No. 25 nationally and tops among Big 12 schools with a team GPA of 3.4935.

Additionally, seven gymnasts earned Academic AllBig 12 Gymnastics Team accolades.

Butts guided the Mountaineers back into the national rankings in 2016, as the team was nationally ranked six of the last nine weeks of the season, marking the squad’s first national ranking since March 18, 2013. The Mountaineers finished the season ranked No. 3 in the Southeast Region, the team’s highest position of the year.

Following its 2016 opener, WVU hit 195.0 or better in 11 straight contests, marking the first time since 2004, and only the second time in program history, the squad scored 195.0+ in all but one of its regular-season meets. The Mountaineers finished with an 11-8 overall record (1-5 Big 12).

The Mountaineers put together a solid list of “firsts” in Butts’ fifth season, including scoring 196.0 or better in back-to-back meets for the first time since 2013 and earning their first national ranking since March 18, 2013 (No. 22 in the Jan. 25 Road to Nationals Rankings). Additionally, Koshinski earned the program’s first regular season All-America honor, as she was named to the NACGC/W All-America Second Team.

Koshinski also claimed the Big 12 Newcomer of the Year honor, the first major Big 12 postseason award for a Mountaineer gymnast. A five-time Big 12 Newcomer of the Week honoree, she also was named to the All-Big 12 Gymnastics Vault Team and the All-Big 12 Championship Team.

The Mountaineers finished the year ranked No. 28 in the GymInfo Poll.

Butts also saw his team excel in the classroom in 2015. Jaida Lawrence was named the Big 12 Scholar-Athlete of the Year, the program’s first honoree. Additionally, six gymnasts earned NACGC/W Scholastic All-America honors, seven garnered Academic All-Big 12 Team recognitions and two were named to the Academic All-Big 12 Rookie Team.

Butts returned the program to the national stage in his third season, as Hope Sloanhoffer qualified for the NCAA National Championships in the allaround, the first gymnast since 2009 to advance to the national championships and the 18th in program history. The 2014 NCAA Athens Regional Championships beam co-champion, Sloanhoffer also captured the Big 12 Conference all-around crown, WVU gymnastics’ first Big 12 title.

As a team, the Mountaineers finished with a 6-11 (0-4 Big 12) overall mark and a third-place showing at the Big 12 Gymnastics Championship, the first conference championship hosted in Morgantown since WVU joined the Big 12 in 2012.

The squad scored a program- and season-best 196.375 at the championship. Sloanhoffer finished with two All-Big 12 Championship Team honors (all-around, floor), while Haley (all-around) and Beth Deal (balance beam) each earned one, quadrupling the program’s honors from 2013.

Sloanhoffer, Deal (balance beam), Goldberg (uneven bars) and Nicolette Swoboda (all-around) all individually qualified for the Athens Regional.

The Mountaineers also showed improvement in the classroom in 2014, as seven gymnasts were named Scholastic All-Americans, an increase from five in 2013. Additionally, seven garnered Academic All-Big 12 Gymnastics Team recognition, also an increase from five in 2013.

In just his second season at the helm, Butts ushered in a new era for WVU gymnastics in 2013, as the Mountaineers joined perennial powerhouse Oklahoma and Iowa State in the Big 12 Conference.

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 NCAA Regional Championships and placed fifth in front of a WVU Coliseum crowd.

Included in 2013’s five 196.0+ performances was a season-best 196.55 mark in a loss to then-No. 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 196.15194.825 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.

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

Eight gymnasts were named Scholastic AllAmericans by the NACGC/W. The accolades were the most for the program since 2011. Additionally, seven gymnasts landed on the Academic All-Big 12 Gymnastics Team.

Butts led the Mountaineers to their best-ever finish at the Big 12 Gymnastics Championship in 2015, as the team placed second with a 195.025 score. The squad used the momentum built at the meet to finish fifth at the 2015 NCAA Morgantown Regional Championships with a score of 195.65, the program’s third-best score at a regional championships. Included in the final total was a 49.225 showing on beam, the team’s best-ever score on the event at a regional meet.

WVU finished the 2015 season with a 14-9-1 (1-1-1 Big 12) record. Dayah Haley earned her second straight All-Big 12 Championship Team honor with a second place all-around showing at the conference championship. Season highlights also included a 195.35, first-place finish in a quad-meet at NC State, WVU’s first win over the Wolfpack in Raleigh since 2007, and a season-best 196.075 score in wins over Penn and Cornell. Individually, WVU tallied 11 scores of 9.9 or better throughout the season, including 9.95 showings by Haley (floor exercise) and Alexa Goldberg (uneven bars).

Millick ranked No. 27 in the all-around, 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 and on every event but bars.

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 Nicole Roach all secured the honor.

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 seasonending 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.

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.

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 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 ranking 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.

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 ranking, 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 9.9plus 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 secondbest 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, Georgia, 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 (199496) and the UGA Gym Dog Camp (2004-06). He competed as a competitive 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.

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 in 2011. He helped those three lineups become dominant in the EAGL, as 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. Emily Kerwin ended the year ranked No. 6 in the EAGL, No. 13 in the

Q&A WITH THE WVU

COACHING STAFF

flare. Anyone who knows Kaylyn knows that her energy on the floor is fantastic. Her comradery with the athletes is wonderful, and having her back on this staff will provide our gymnasts with such a different experience on the floor. She’s great. Kaylyn is great at coaching aggressive gymnastics, and that’s what we need.

This staff works well together. We know and understand each other, and our confidence in each other helps boost the gymnasts’ confidence.

Butts: These athletes don’t second guess themselves. Our skill level is going up quickly, and we have to push to get there.

We’re so happy to have Caleigh on our staff, too. She ensures that this program runs well on the administrative side, and that allows the coaches to come up with creative practice plans and focus on the gymnastics.

Which gymnasts do you see pushing themselves to do more in 2019?

Butts: (Seniors) Kirah (Koshinski) and Jaquie (Tun) are really gunning for allaround positions this year. I will be disappointed if they don’t earn those spots because they worked hard throughout the summer and the fall, and they look great!

KIRAH KOSHINSKI The 2018 squad was extremely consistent and did not count a fall until the last meet of the season. How will this year’s team move forward from the way the 2018 season ended and build on that consistentcy?

Butts: As a staff, we’re all back fighting.

We’re excited to welcome (assistant coach) Kaylyn (Millick) back, and we’re going to push even harder this season. We’re in a great spot and a lot further along than we’ve been before.

Head Coach Jason Butts: I think our finish at the 2018 NCAA University Park Regional Championships (sixth place, 194.4) affected the gymnasts and was disappointing. At the time, our confidence went down a bit, but throughout the offseason and the 2019 preseason, we’ve seen our senior class fight back – they aren’t willing to accept another season-ending performance like that. It’s always great to see that senior leadership emerge.

How was the team able to execute such great consistency in 2018?

I don’t think our freshman class understands yet what it means to have such a great season, especially surrounded by adversity, and then have it end with disappointment. I think we will need to get them on board and help them understand you need to fight with consistency throughout the entire season.

As a staff, we’re determined to make sure we don’t see another ending like that.

Associate Head Coach Travis Doak: We’ve let this team know that our performance at the 2018 regional is not acceptable for this program, especially given the amount of talent we have. I think we’re redefining our expectations. We know where we want to be and what we need to do to get there.

Butts: I think we can attribute a lot of it to Travis – he’s been the driving force behind the mentality that this team just won’t fall.

That’s our expectation.

Kaylyn will add the flair back into the consistency; we were missing that last season. We hit our routines, but we weren’t focusing on the little details. Kaylyn coaches detail so well.

Doak: I think our consistency is fantastic.

My personality is to be safe and eliminate the chance for mistakes, and sometimes that results in 9.7 scores. What we will push harder for this year is for a higher standard – we have to take some risks, push hard and come out of the gate with finesse and the hope of 9.8s or better.

The coaching staff has been revamped again, as you welcome back assistant coach Kaylyn Millick and add Caleigh Shaffer as the director of operations.

How does your staff plan to work together throughout the 2019 season?

Doak: I think our whole senior class is doing a fantastic job. These three gymnasts (Koshinski, Tun and Carly Galpin) complement each other well, and they are all hard workers. They are all relentlessly going outside their comfort zones to do their best gymnastics. I can confidently say that when they finish, they won’t have any regrets.

Butts: This class sets the standard for the team, and they set a very high standard.

They want success badly.

Senior Kirah Koshinski is a three-time All-American, earning second team vault accolades each season. What are her hopes for her senior season, and what are this staff’s hopes for Kirah?

Doak: I want to see Kirah at the NCAA National Championships, and hopefully with this team. I think she deserves it, and she has worked hard for that opportunity. We want her to finish her career at the NCAA Championships with this team by her side.

Kirah has worked hard every year. She’s the type of gymnast we want at WVU. Kirah is very talented, but a lot of hard work has fueled her success. She works relentlessly, and I want her to get the recognition she deserves. I honestly believe she deserves a 10.0 score.

Butts: Earning three consecutive regular season All-America honors is so hard. She has a chance this year to smash a lot of program records, and if we can get this team to the NCAA National Championships, she won’t be our only All-American. This team is talented.

Doak: Adding Kaylyn back to this staff was essential and will help ensure that we open the season hitting our routines with

The junior class earned high praise from this staff two years ago at the onset of their freshman season. Who from that class are you looking at to standout this season?

The team opens the 2019 season with three consecutive road meets. How do you like the way this schedule is setup, and what are your hopes and expectations for those first three meets?

Doak: I want more from this class. I think they have a lot more to offer, and I think they’re better than what we’ve seen. There are a lot of hard workers in this class – I just want more from them. I think they can do it, and I think it’s a mission for us coaches. I want our expectations to be honest, and for this class, I know they have more to offer.

Butts: Every year, it feels like we have to play catchup and be the road warriors who need to earn big scores at the end of the season. I don’t want to do that this year.

I’m excited that the first three meets are on the road, and we’ll end the season with eight total road meets. We have a lot of opportunities to get strong road scores, but we don’t want to put ourselves in a hole early. I want to start in the top 18 of the rankings, and I want to stay in the top 18.

Butts: They have a lot to offer. I think they need to step-up and recognize their potential.

Doak: I think Abby (Kaufman) always has the potential to compete in the all-around, but she has to work to get there. She’s a hard worker.

Butts: Chloe (Cluchey) will definitely compete bars, and I think Erica (Fontaine) is a strong floor contender who I also want to see compete beam. Julia (Merwin) is working hard, and I see her competing floor and vault. Kassidy (Cumber) has the potential to compete every event.

The sophomore class comes back intact, with McKenna Linnen, Sydney Marler and Michelle Waldron all looking for more time in lineups. What are your hopes for this trio?

Doak: This class is doing a great job.

McKenna returned and looks great – I expect to see her compete beam and floor. Sydney is working on a new bars routine, and I think these adjustments will help her score. She looks good on beam, too. Michelle is doing better everywhere; she looks great.

Butts: Each of these gymnasts stepped up in 2018 and filled a lineup spot for us. They are a gritty class and work hard. Above all else, they’re nice student-athletes. They will step up to any challenge; they proved that last season, and they’re going to get the chance to do it again this year.

Five freshmen join your squad this year.

What have these gymnasts brought to the gym throughout preseason?

Doak: This freshman class really came in strong. I could see so many of them in lineup spots right now. Esperanza (Abarca) is going to compete. Rachel (Hornung) is fantastic and could compete in the all-around right out of the gate. Taylor Sell has learned new skills on bars and could compete beam, too.

Kristin (Lang) is adjusting her gymnastics and growing into her skills. Kendra (Combs) has been sidelined, but she’s finally competing on bars and we hope to work her into the lineup.

Our first meet is in Cancun, Mexico, and while it’s going to be a fun trip for this team, we have to take it seriously and we have to put on a show against Michigan, Iowa State and Rutgers. We need to come out of that meet with a strong score.

We are at Pitt the weekend after our season opener, and then we fly to Colorado Springs for our third straight road competition. Those first three weeks will be very challenging, and we have to come out of the gate hitting.

The 2019 season is the Mountaineers’ seventh as a member of the Big 12 Conference. Where do you see your program’s position within the conference, and how has the competition helped your program grow?

Butts: I think being a member of the Big 12 Conference has really helped this program, especially in recruiting. I know we can put up a big score, and I know we can win that championship. All the pieces need to fall in the right places, but we can do it.

Your squad thrives when competing in the WVU Coliseum. What do you like about the 2019 home schedule?

Butts: I’m really excited for our fans – we have a lot of great teams coming to Morgantown this year. I anticipate a lot of ranked teams competing at the WVU Coliseum this season, and I think if we can earn a few home wins, our team will gain confidence that will propel us through a tough road schedule.

I think we can expect a lot from this class. I’m excited; there’s a lot to offer from this class.

Butts: I don’t think we’ve ever had a freshman class that was this open to changing their training and their routines; they are very coachable. That also means we have to up our expectations for this group, too. They are changing and willing to try.

Doak: This class is full of fantastic competitors. They have fierce mindsets.

CHLOE CLUCHEY

Your final regular-season meet features Ohio State, Penn State and NC State at the WVU Coliseum and has the makings of a potential quad meet between four ranked teams. Are you excited for this to be your final tune-up before the 2019 postseason?

Butts: Oh absolutely. That meet really makes me excited. There will be four quality teams competing that day, which is great for our fans.

More importantly, if we can leave that day with a win, we will roll into the Big 12 Gymnastics Championship knowing we took down three great teams. The scoring potential is very high for that meet.

Doak: I agree. I feel like we were so consistent in 2018, but we were not aggressive. I think we can change our mentality this year, and we should enter every meet wanting to win. I think we can instill a fight in this team this year.

We’re already seeing this team push its comfort zones, and that’s a good thing. We have depth this year, so to make a lineup, we need to see quality execution. I think we are going to ask a lot of this team, and I think if they answer, we’ll be in a good spot late in the year. I want to challenge this team to win; they’re good enough to win.

Butts: Our meet-day mindset is to work hard and have fun. Our competitive edge is that we are the team known for being loud and supportive. We have to maintain that frame of mind. If we go into each meet believing we are going to have fun and compete well, good things will happen.

This team set program academic records in 2018, as 10 gymnasts garnered Scholastic All-America and Academic All-Big 12 accolades. How does this team continue to set the standard in the classroom?

Butts: It’s always tough for freshmen to transition to college, but all our studentathletes are coachable. They do what we ask them to do, and no one wants to let her teammates down.

This team works hard and is focused on achieving high grades.

ASSOCIATE HEAD COACH 11TH SEASON

Travis Doak enters his 11th year at his alma mater and his fifth as the team’s associate head coach. He is responsible for coaching vault, beam and floor. He also oversees the Mountaineers’ recruiting efforts.

Since Doak joined the staff in 2009, WVU has made nine total NCAA Regional Championship appearances, earned one conference title and compiled an overall record of 138-92-1 (.600).

In 2018, Doak’s 10th season with the Mountaineers, WVU was at its most consistent, as the team did not count a fall in all but one meet. The Mountaineers qualified for their 34th NCAA Regional Championships and placed fourth at the Big 12 Gymnastics Championship with a 195.625 score, their second-best at a championship away from Morgantown. WVU was ranked nationally four times throughout the season and finished the year at 13-13 (0-6).

The Mountaineers made their mark in the record book in 2018, as WVU posted five team scores that rank in the program’s Top 50 scores list. Four of the scores were 196.0 or better, and three were earned away from the WVU Coliseum, a feat never achieved before by a Mountaineer team.

Also in 2018, junior Kirah Koshinski was named to the NACGC/W All-America Second Team for vault for the third consecutive season, becoming just the second gymnast in program history to earn at least three career All-America awards. Koshinski scored 9.9 or better on vault seven times.

In Doak’s ninth season in 2017, WVU gymnastics again had a presence at the NCAA National Championships, as junior Zaakira Muhammad qualified in the allaround. She was most successful on floor exercise, scoring a program NCAA record 9.9125 and finishing in eighth place, good enough for All-America Second Team accolades. She became the first Mountaineer since 2007 to earn All-America honors at the NCAA National Championships. Additionally, she tallied 9.8 on bars, matching the program’s championship record.

The Mountaineers concluded the 2017 season in record-setting fashion, scoring a season-best 196.325 and finishing in third at the NCAA Morgantown Regional Championships. The mark was a program regional record and just 0.3 points short of second-place Alabama. Muhammad earned her NCAA National Championships bid with a fourth place, 39.325 showing in the all-around. Additionally, Koshinski placed second on floor with a 9.925 score, and the Mountaineers set a program regional record on bars (49.35) and matched the program’s regional record on floor (49.225).

Koshinski collected her second straight NACGC/W All-America Second Team honor for vault, and combined with Muhammad’s All-America honor, WVU ended the year with two All-Americans for the second time in program history and the first time since 1994. Koshinski also was named to the AllBig 12 Gymnastics Vault Team.

Nationally ranked every week in 2017 but three, the Mountaineers finished the season at No. 20 in the Road to Nationals Rankings, their highest position in the final season rankings since sitting at No. 18 in 2007. WVU finished the year at 13-10 (3-3).

In his eighth season with the Mountaineers, Doak helped lead the Mountaineers back into the national rankings in 2016, as the team was nationally ranked six of the last nine weeks of the season, the program’s first national rankings since March 18, 2013. The team tallied 195.0 or better in 11 straight contests and finished with an 11-8 overall record (1-5 Big 12).

Included in the squad’s high scores was a 49.575 floor mark in wins over Ohio State and Bowling Green, on March 6, at the WVU Coliseum. The mark was the thirdbest score in program history.

Individually, Doak helped Koshinski earn NACGC/W All-America Second Team honors for vault. The Big 12 Newcomer of the Year, she finished third on the event at the Big 12 Championship and claimed AllBig 12 Gymnastics Vault Team and All-Big 12 Championship Team honors.

The Mountaineers went on to finish third at the Big 12 Gymnastics Championship with a 195.925 mark and placed fifth at the NCAA Tuscaloosa Regional Championships.

Championships with a 195.65 score, the program’s third-best showing at a regional championships. The Mountaineers tallied 49.225 on beam, the team’s best-ever score on the event at a regional. WVU also finished a program-best second at the Big 12 Gymnastics Championship, scoring 195.025.

Dayah Haley earned her second straight All-Big 12 Championship Team honor with a second-place finish in the all-around.

The Mountaineers tallied 11 individual scores of 9.9 or better in 2015, including 9.95 showings for Haley (floor exercise) and Alexa Goldberg (uneven bars). WVU finished the year with a 14-9-1 (1-1-1 Big 12) overall record. The squad also ranked No. 28 in the final GymInfo Poll.

Doak helped guide Hope Sloanhoffer to the NCAA National Championships in 2014, as she individually qualified in the all-around.

She was the first Mountaineer to qualify since 2009, Doak’s first season as an assistant, and the 18th in program history. Sloanhoffer qualified after finishing second in the allaround and first on beam at the 2014 NCAA Athens Regional Championships.

WVU posted its best score at the Big 12 Gymnastics Championship in 2014, tallying 196.375 and finishing in third place.

Three Mountaineers earned four All-Big 12 Championship Team honors, and Sloanhoffer finished first in the all-around with a 39.425 score, the program’s first Big 12 title. The squad finished the season with a 6-11 (0-4 Big 12) mark. Sloanhoffer (all-around), Beth Deal (balance beam), Goldberg (uneven bars) and Nicolette Swoboda (all-around) individually qualified for the Athens Regional.

The team finished the year ranked No. 28 nationally on vault and uneven bars.

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 every 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 Sloanhoffer to respective No. 27 and No. 42 all-around 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 AllBig 12 Championship Team for her secondplace finish in the all-around.

Under Doak, the Mountaineers have secured 52 all-conference honors, including 30 All-EAGL First Team awards, two gymnasts 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’ leaguebest 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 second-best 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 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 his second season at WVU in 2010, Doak helped guide the Mountaineer vault and floor lineups to the No. 4 and No. 5 EAGL rankings.

His first season with the Mountaineers in 2009 was successful, as the team finished No. 17 nationally on vault and No. 21 on bars. 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, Chelsi Tabor and Maloney earned the EAGL vault title in Doak’s first season.

A native of Beverly, West Virginia, 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.

SEASON

MOUNTAINEERS HIT ROAD IN 2019

The NCAA Regional Championships will be held April 4-6 at the following sites: Michigan, Georgia, LSU and Oregon State. The 2019 season marks the debut of the new NCAA postseason format, featuring four regional sites instead of six and a super-regional competition on the third day of action.

The Mountaineers’ schedule also features five home meets at the WVU Coliseum, three in the month of February. WVU will compete against nine teams who ended the 2018 season ranked in the top 25 of the Road to Nationals Rankings, including national runner-up and reigning Big 12 Conference champion Oklahoma.

The 2019 NCAA National Championships will be held April 19-20, at the Fort Worth Convention Center Arena in Fort Worth, Texas.

The West Virginia University gymnastics team will log travel miles in 2019, as the Mountaineers’ schedule features eight road competitions, including three consecutive meets away from Morgantown at the onset of the year.

First up for the Mountaineers is the Cancun Classic on Jan. 4 in Cancun, Mexico, where WVU will compete against Michigan, ranked No. 9 in the Women’s Collegiate Gymnastics Association Preseason Poll, as well as Iowa State and Rutgers.

Following trips to Pitt on Jan. 12 and Air Force on Jan. 19, the Mountaineers will open their 2019 home season at the WVU Coliseum on Jan. 27 against Kent State and George Washington.

The Mountaineers open February in Morgantown against Iowa State and preseason No. 13 Denver on Feb. 2. A quad meet at Penn on Feb. 10 precedes a home meet against Utah State, Cornell and Pitt on Feb. 17. WVU closes the month with a pair of meets, returning to Pitt on Feb. 22 before facing preseason No. 2 Oklahoma on Feb. 24 at the WVU Coliseum.

WVU travels to preseason No. 18 Ohio State on March 2 and to No. 20 Arizona State on March 13 before closing its home and regular season against No. 18 Ohio State, No. 25 NC State and Penn State on March 17, at the WVU Coliseum.

The 2019 Big 12 Gymnastics Championship is set for March 23 in Norman, Oklahoma.

ONE LAST MEET SEASON

Three seniors will lead WVU in 2019 – Carly Galpin, Kirah Koshinski and Jaquie Tun. Combined, the trio has competed in 96 career meets.

Koshinski paces the Mountaineers with 1,109.4 career points and finished second on the team in 2018 with 382.475 points. Tun ranks No. 2 on the team with 582.725 career points, while Galpin shows 281.725 points.

The senior trio gets the job done in the classroom, too, as all three gymnasts were named to the National Association of Collegiate Gymnastics Coaches/Women (NACGC/W) Scholastic All-America Team in 2018, the third career awards for Koshinski and Tun.

KOSHINSKI EYES HISTORY

Senior Kirah Koshinski enters the 2019 season with the power to make Mountaineer history, as she could become the first-ever WVU gymnast to earn at least one All-America honor in each of her four years in Morgantown.

A native of Berwick, Pennsylvania, Koshinski has landed on the NACGC/W Regular-Season All-America Second Team Vault each of the three previous years. In 2018, she ranked No. 10 nationally on the event with a 9.91 regional qualifying score (RQS). Koshinski scored below 9.85 on the event just once last year and earned marks of 9.9 or better seven times.

Koshinski ranks third in program history with three career AllAmerica honors. She is the second Mountaineer gymnast to earn at least one honor in more than one season; Kristin Quackenbush received six All-America honors in three seasons (1994-96).

LOOKING TO MAKE THEIR MARK

Also in 2017, Zaakira Muhammad advanced to the NCAA Championships in the all-around and finished eighth on floor exercise, earning All-America Second Team accolades. Additionally, then-sophomore Koshinski claimed her second of three career NACGC/W Regular Season All-America Second Team Vault honors.

Five gymnasts join the Mountaineers for the 2019 season: Esperanza Abarca, Kendra Combs, Rachel Hornung, Kristin Lang and Taylor Sell.

A native of The Colony, Texas, Abarca was a four-year level 10 gymnast at World Olympic Gymnastics Academy and a three-time Junior Olympics National Championships qualifier. She finished 19th in the all-around at the 2017 Junior Olympics National Championships.

Combs, a native of Windsor, Connecticut, was a four-year level 10 gymnast at Gymnastics Express Too and also qualified for three Junior Olympics National Championships, placing fourth on bars and beam at the 2017 championships.

A native of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Hornung was a four-year level 10 gymnast at Pittsburgh Northstars and a two-time Junior Olympics National Championships qualifier. She placed sixth on beam and ninth in the all-around at the 2018 championships, as well as 10th on vault at the 2017 championships.

Lang, a native of Pittsford, New York, was a five-year level 10 gymnast at Rochester Gymnastics Academy. A three-time Junior Olympics National Championships qualifier, she placed fifth on beam at the 2016 championships, as well as 15th on floor and 17th in the all-around.

Sell, a Manheim, Pennsylvania, native, was a five-year level 10 gymnast at Prestige Gymnastics and a Junior Olympics National Championships qualifier.

FAMILIAR FACE RETURNS

Kaylyn Millick rejoined the WVU gymnastics staff as an assistant coach in August 2018. A native of Washington, Pennsylvania, Millick previously served as the Mountaineers’ assistant from 2015-17.

A three-year letterwinner at WVU from 2011-13, Millick most recently coached the Mountaineers in 2017. WVU finished the season at 12-8, including a 3-3 showing against Big 12 Conference opponents, and placed third at the 2017 NCAA Morgantown Regional Championships with a program-record 196.325 score. The Mountaineers finished the season ranked No. 20 in the Road to Nationals Rankings.

UNEVEN BARS

The Mountaineers will use a combination of strong returning routines and fresh, dynamic, new routines to overcome the loss of lineup staples Jordan Gillette, Bernard and Muhammad.

Tun returns to lead the way. A native of Chattanooga, Tennessee, she competed in the lineup all 13 meets in 2018 and ranked No. 22 regionally with a 9.825 RQS. Tun did not drop a bars score last year, matching her career-best 9.875 mark once, and collected nine top-10 finishes.

“Jaquie is definitely our ‘wow’ factor in this lineup and will be our anchor,” coach Jason Butts said.

Kaufman will be key in the lineup this season and may eventually open the rotation. A York, Pennsylvania, native, she finished the year strong on the event, hitting for a career high 9.75 at the Big 12 Gymnastics Championship. Classmate Chloe Cluchey should also earn a lineup position. Cluchey scored 9.8 or better in three of the final four meets of 2018, including a winning, career-best 9.925 showing at George Washington.

Among the returners vying for lineup positions are junior Kassidy Cumber and sophomore Sydney Marler, who each own a 9.775 career high. Additionally, Koshinski is expected to make her career bars debut.

A trio of freshmen will be tasked with providing depth to the lineup.

Abarca and Hornung are earning praise from the coaching staff for their lines, while Kendra Combs has a dynamic routine with big releases.

JULIA MERWIN

VAULT

“Last season, we struggled with handstands and stuck dismounts,” Doak explained. “Esperanza nails her handstand every routine.

Kendra will be a strong force, and Rachel has such pretty lines. I think we have hope for this event this season; we will start in one spot and look to build.”

“We have never had this many routines,” Butts added. “This lineup will come down to quality and consistency.”

The Mountaineer vault lineup will be anchored by one of the nation’s best vaulters in senior Kirah Koshinski, a three-time NACGC/W Regular Season All-America Second Team honoree. She anchored the vault lineup in 12 of 13 meets in 2018 and tallied 9.9 or better seven times, including a career-high matching 9.95 twice. The only Mountaineer to compete a Yurchenko 1.5 with a 10.0 start value, Koshinski concluded the 2018 season ranked No. 10 nationally with a 9.91 regional qualifying score (RQS).

Junior Julia Merwin is the second-highest ranked gymnast returning to the WVU vault lineup. A native of Frederick, Maryland, Merwin concluded the 2018 season ranked No. 21 in the Southeast Region with a 9.825 RQS. She scored 9.8 or better seven times, including a career-best 9.875.

Also expected to return to the lineup are senior Jaquie Tun, who tallied a career-high 9.85 in 2018, as well as junior Abby Kaufman and sophomore Michelle Waldron.

The Mountaineer coaches expect freshmen Rachel Hornung and Esperanza Abarca to appear in the lineup throughout the season, too.

“I think this event will be stronger for us this year,” associate head coach Travis Doak said. “Even though we lost Zaakira (Muhammad) and Robyn (Bernard) to graduation, I really believe we’ll be better.”

CHLOE CLUCHEY

FLOOR EXERCISE

“I think floor is going to be really fun this year,” Millick started. “I think floor is always fun, but we’ve really upped our difficulty for the 2019 season. We have multiple E passes, and there’s so much energy surrounding this event.”

Koshinski returns as one of the most dynamic floor performers nationally, as she ranked No. 33 in the NCAA, No. 5 in the region and No. 6 in the Big 12 Conference in 2018 with a 9.9 RQS. The lineup’s anchor in all 13 meets last season, she scored 9.8 or better in all but three meets and tallied 9.9 or better four times, including a career-best 9.95 showing. Koshinski ranks No. 6 in WVU program history with 13 career floor scores of 9.9 or better.

Tun is expected to precede Koshinski in the 2019 lineup. She competed floor five times last year and finished with a season average of 9.73.

Kaufman and Fontaine finished second and fourth, respectively, last year with season averages of 9.79 and 9.761 and are expected to return to the lineup this season. Also looking to return is Linnen, who competed floor through the first five meets and hit for a careerbest 9.85 twice.

“Erica has a new, fun routine which the crowd will love,” Millick said.

Hornung and Abarca are expected to contribute immediately, while Merwin and Cumber could earn their first lineup spots since the 2017 season.

“There is a lot of different choreography this year – every routine is so unique,” Millick added. “I took a new approach to choreography this year – I did it with each gymnast. Working with the gymnasts as we built these routines really helped, as I was able to see how they will look in the moment.”

CARLY GALPIN

BALANCE BEAM

By far, WVU’s deepest event entering the 2019 season is balance beam, where as few as 11 Mountaineers could compete this year.

“We have so many options this year,” said Doak. “This group is really training hard. The quality of the routines is there, but I want our jumps to be a little stronger. Our consistency is fantastic so far.”

Tops among the returners is senior Carly Galpin, who ranked No. 22 regionally last year with a 9.825 RQS. A native of Boonsboro, Maryland, Galpin has dropped just one score in 26 career lineup appearances. Last season, she paced the Mountaineers with a 9.752 average, tallying marks of 9.8 or better five times and earning two podium finishes, including an event win with a career-best 9.875.

Sophomore McKenna Linnen, Koshinski and Kaufman each competed in all 13 meets in 2018, with Linnen finishing second on the team with a 9.738 average. Kaufman owns a career high of 9.9, while Koshinski shows a 9.85 and Linnen a 9.8.

Junior Erica Fontaine, as well as Tun and Cumber, also appeared in the lineup last year. In her only routine of the season, Tun scored 9.875 and finished tied for second place at George Washington.

Though she did not compete as a freshman, Marler is expected to push for a lineup spot this season. Hornung and Abarca also will push for lineup positions, as could freshman Taylor Sell.

“This is a lineup we will see shift a ton throughout the year until we find the strongest one, but I know we’re going to have a great, strong lineup,” Doak added.

“We worked on consistency so much throughout the preseason,” assistant coach Kaylyn Millick said. “Now, the routines are looking clean and the gymnasts are growing confident. They do these routines so easily, and we’re able to now focus on the artistry, too.”

2018 POSTSEASON BUILDING SUCCESS

The West Virginia University gymnastics team finished the 2018 season at 13-13 and 0-6 in the Big 12 Conference. The team qualified for the regional championship for the 39th time in program history and the 34th time in NCAA competition.

SENIOR SENDOFF

The Mountaineers said goodbye to three outstanding seniors in 2018. Robyn Bernard, Jordan Gillette and Zaakira Muhammad were each an integral part of the team the last four years, competing in a combined 152 career meets.

Bernard and Muhammad left their marks on the record book in their senior seasons. Muhammad ranks No. 11 in all-time appearances with 51, while Bernard sits just behind her at No. 19 with 50 meets in her career.

MUHAMMAD CAPS MOUNTAINEER CAREER

A three-time Linda Burdette-Good Award honoree as the team’s Most Valuable Gymnast, Zaakira Muhammad capped her record-setting career with the Mountaineers in 2018.

Muhammad broke personal and program records in her senior season, firmly leaving her mark on WVU gymnastics.

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).

LINDA BURDETTE-GOOD 37 SEASONS | 1975‑2011 | RECORD: 644-263-4

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.

ALASKA RICHARDSON

JASON BUTTS 7 Seasons | 2012-present | Record: 91-65-1 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 stage.

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 142.30‑142.10 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.

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.

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, Utah, 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.

NCAA CHAMPIONS

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.

West Virginia posted a 19-10 record and established four of the top 10 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.

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.

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.

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 gelled together that made the West Virginia coaching staff the proudest.

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.

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.

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.

SHARI

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.

RETTON

Shari Retton Timko was WVU’s first women’s sports All-American, earning first-team honors in the all-around, floor exercise, uneven bars and vault at the 1982 AIAW national gymnastics championships in Memphis.

PRESIDENT » WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY E. GORDON GEE J.D., ED.D.

D

Dr. E. Gordon Gee is one of America’s most prominent higher education leaders, having served as president of some of the most prestigious public and private universities for more than three decades.

When he returned to lead West Virginia University in 2014 as the institution’s 24th president, it was a homecoming of sorts. He was first named WVU president in 1981 at age 36 – at the time, among the youngest persons to ever serve as a university president.

He led West Virginia University until 1985 when he went on to presidencies at the University of Colorado (1985-90), Brown University (1998-2000) and Vanderbilt University (2001-07). He served as president of The Ohio State University from 1990-97 and again from 2007-13.

On his return to the Morgantown campus, he said, “This is not a job to me; it is a calling.” His leadership style bears that out as he works tirelessly to advance the University’s land-grant mission and open doors to the American dream.

In one of his latest addresses to the University community, he noted that for 150 years, the institution has been a polar star guiding West Virginians toward a brighter tomorrow. He said, “That is why, in this milestone year, we recommit our University to living the values that drive our work. Serving our students and our state is not just our duty — it is our passion.”

Gee has built a special relationship with the students as well as the state’s citizens, making it a point to visit students where they live, learn and socialize – and visiting all 55 West Virginia counties during his inaugural year – and at least half in subsequent years.

Born in Vernal, Utah, Gee graduated from the University of Utah with an honors degree in history and earned his J.D. and Ed.D. degrees from Columbia University.

He clerked under Chief Justice David T. Lewis of the U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals before being named a judicial fellow and staff assistant to the U.S. Supreme Court. In this role, he worked for Chief Justice Warren Burger on administrative and legal problems of the Court and federal judiciary. Gee returned to Utah as an associate professor and associate dean in the J. Reuben Clark Law School at Brigham Young University, and was granted full professorship in 1978.

One year later, he became dean of the WVU College of Law, and, in 1981, was named WVU’s 19th president.

Gee has served on several education-governance organizations and committees, including the Big 12 Conference Council of Presidents, the Business Higher Education Forum and the American Association of Universities. He is past chair of the American Council on Education’s Commission on Higher Education Attainment and formerly served as co-chair of the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities’ Energy Advisory Committee. In 2009, King Abdulaziz University in Saudi Arabia invited him to join its international advisory board. In 2009, Time magazine named him one of the top 10 university presidents in the United States.

Gee is currently serving as chair of the Big 12 Board of Directors Executive Committee and is a member of Forward 50, an initiative working toward student equity, success and outcomes.

Last summer, working with Department of Commerce and Marshall University officials, he was instrumental in establishing the West Virginia Forward initiative to bring together state and local leaders in providing a blueprint for alignment and focus on solutions for a united and prosperous West Virginia. It quickly developed into a larger effort with policymakers, experts and government officials working together to formulate results-driven policy to help strengthen and diversify all regions of the state.

Active in many national professional and service organizations, he is on the executive committee of the National 4-H Council Board of Trustees as well as on the Board of Trustees of the Royal University for Women in Bahrain, with which West Virginia University has a long-standing academic partnership.

A recipient of the Distinguished Eagle Scout Award, he is an executive board member of Boy Scouts of America. He has also served on the boards for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum and Limited Brands.

In 2011, Gee began serving as secretary on the Board of Directors of Ohio’s economic development program, JobsOhio. In 2011-12, Governor John Kasich asked him to chair the Ohio Higher Education Capital Funding Collaborative and the Ohio Higher Education Funding Commission. In December 2012, he began serving on the Columbus Education Commission.

Gee has received many honorary degrees, awards, fellowships and recognitions over the years. He is a fellow of the prestigious American Association for the Advancement of Science, the world’s largest science organization. In 1994, Gee received the Distinguished Alumnus Award from the University of Utah, as well as from Teachers College of Columbia University. In 2013, he received the ACE Council of Fellows/Fidelity Investments Mentor Award and the Outstanding Academic Leader of the Year Award on behalf of Historically Black Colleges and Universities.

He is the co-author of over a dozen books, including his two most recent, “Leading Colleges and Universities” and “Land-Grant Universities for the Future.” He has also authored many papers and articles on law and education.

Gee is engaged to Laurie Erickson, leader of the Erickson Foundation. Gee’s daughter, Rebekah, is Secretary of the Louisiana Department of Health. In addition to that role, she is a practicing gynecologist and Gratis Faculty at the Louisiana State University School of Medicine and Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center in New Orleans. Dr. Rebekah Gee is married to David Patrón and they have five children.

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS SHANE LYONS ASSOCIATE VICE PRESIDENT

I

In his fourth year as the director of athletics at West Virginia University, Shane Lyons has a clear vision for his athletic program. It’s a vision that focuses on the betterment of more than 500 student-athletes and the day-to-day needs that will help them succeed in the classroom and in competition.

His open lines of communications have made him a popular role model for WVU athletes, and his honest, fair and caring approach has energized an entire department.

Whether it’s regularly scheduled meetings with the student-athletes or his open-door office policy, Lyons has his finger on the pulse of his student-athletes, coaches and staff.

His endless energy is devoted to his facilities master plan that will keep West Virginia a strong Power 5 institution and position his department for growth and continued success. Lyons’ facilities master plan isn’t about keeping up with the Joneses, it’s about taking what his department has, improving it and making it complete for the student-athlete. From training, nutrition, medical and competitiveness, Lyons’ vision is for future success, building winning programs and enhancing the overall WVU student-athlete experience. Lyons is about results, and he has already left a great deal of accomplishments in his rear view mirror.

He spearheaded and finished more than $100 million in fan enhancements to Milan Puskar Stadium and the WVU Coliseum, broke ground on a $45 million aquatic and track center in Morgantown, completed phase two of Coliseum renovations, bringing the arena up to current ADA seating code, and for the first-time ever, introduced a second video board to Milan Puskar Stadium to provide information and improve fan entertainment.

Overseeing 18 varsity sports, a self-sustaining department budget of more than $93 million and 250 employees, Lyons’ leadership has also guided WVU to unparalleled success in the classroom as the department recorded an impressive overall 3.2 GPA in 2018. And, with the student-athlete in mind, he has implemented a Clinical and Sport Psychology unit with a full-time director and professional interns, added specialized learning assistants to the Student-Athlete Development unit and entered into a partnership with WVU Medicine’s Neuroscience Department to assist in the training and recovery of student-athletes, all emphasizing his overall commitment to the well-being and performance student-athletes.

Ask him and he’ll tell you it’s not his department, but West Virginia’s department, and he can tell you his vision to improve it not only for the coming year, but for three, five, seven and 10 years down the road. He cares and the proof lies in what he has already accomplished in three years.

Additionally, his work with WVU President E. Gordon Gee’s senior leadership team, as well as the Big 12 Conference and other national committees, has brought additional respect and positive exposure to his department and the University. He currently serves on the Big 12 Administration Committee, Finance and Budget Committee and the Game Management and Officiating Subcommittee. In 2018, he chaired the overall athletic directors committee for the Big 12, was named again to the NCAA Division I Council and will serve as chair of the NCAA Division I Football Oversite Committee. He is also on the board of directors for Mylan Park in Morgantown.

Lyons came to West Virginia after spending three years as the deputy director of athletics and chief operating officer at Alabama where he worked closely on day-to-day strategic leadership and direction of the Crimson Tide Athletic program.

During his time at Alabama, his responsibilities included oversight of a $120 million budget, management of the day-to-day operations of the department and oversight of the Crimson Tide’s 21 sports teams. In addition, he played a pivotal role in a historic renegotiation of Alabama’s multimedia rights agreement that started in 2014 and was involved in several significant capital projects totaling more than $85 million.

The Crimson Tide won seven national titles in five different sports during his time there – two in football, two in men’s golf, one in women’s golf, one in gymnastics and one in softball. He also played a critical role in the hiring of four Alabama head coaches.

Prior to joining the Alabama staff in November 2011, Lyons spent 10 years as an associate commissioner at the Atlantic Coast Conference. At the ACC, Lyons focused on conference-wide compliance and academic initiatives, providing direct assistance to the conference’s presidents, chancellors and athletics directors in matters dealing with NCAA regulatory matters.

In addition, he served as the ACC’s human resource manager and was responsible for the administration, negotiation and mediation of the employee benefits program and managing the conference’s organizational policies and procedures. He was part of the senior administrative team for ACC events, including the football championship game, the men’s basketball tournament and men’s and women’s NCAA basketball events.

Prior to working at the ACC, Lyons served as associate athletics director for compliance at Big 12 member Texas Tech from 1998 to 2001. During that time, Lyons assumed responsibility for the leadership, administration and implementation of a

comprehensive NCAA compliance program with emphasis toward rules education and extensive monitoring systems. He also served as oversight administrator for several of the Red Raiders’ athletic teams and had financial and operational supervision of the strength and conditioning, nutritional and sports medicine units.

Before joining Texas Tech, Lyons worked at the NCAA for almost 10 years as a senior membership services representative, where he was responsible for the oversight and coordination of rules and interpretations for the 25 membership service representatives and was the staff liaison to various NCAA standing committees.

Lyons began his career in college athletics in July 1988 as assistant commissioner of the Big South Conference. With the Big South, he was in charge of conference-wide compliance and championships.

A native of Parkersburg, West Virginia, and a graduate of Parkersburg High, Lyons was a standout basketball player for the Big Reds. He earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in sport management from WVU in 1987 and 1988, respectively.

Lyons, the University’s 12th athletic director, and his wife, Emily, a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, have two children: Cameron and Brooke. Cameron is a member of Terry Bowden’s football team at Akron and Brooke plays volleyball at Morgantown High School.

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 socre is 200, with top collegiate scores ranging between 193.00 and 198.00.

Optional routines, choreographed to experess 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) 2.20 Special Requirements 2.00 Bonus Elements 0.50 Execution/composition 5.30 Total 10.00
