MOUNTAINEER

GYMNASTICS 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 110-77-1 (.588) career record with the Mountaineers. He has led WVU to seven appearances at the NCAA Regional Championships and a program best, second-place showing at the 2015 Big 12 Gymnastics Championship.

In 2019, Butts led WVU to the regional championships for the 40th time in program history and placed fourth in the second of two second round quad meets at the NCAA Ann Arbor Regional Championships with a 195.425 score. Prior to the regional championships, WVU placed fourth at the Big 12 Championship with a 195.6 score.

West Virginia reached double-digit wins in just six meets, the fastest under Butts and the quickest since earning 10 victories in five meets in 2010. The Mountaineers’ 2019 win total of 19 was the team’s top win mark since earning 21 in 2012, Butts’ first season. WVU finished the season with a 19-9 overall record (0-4 Big 12).

West Virginia also was nationally ranked twice in the Road to Nationals Rankings. The vault and floor exercise lineups were nationally ranked each week, with the floor lineup spending seven weeks in the top 10 and peaking at No. 5. At season end, seniors Kirah Koshinski and Jaquie Tun owned a combined three national rankings. Koshinski ranked No. 7 on vault and No. 28 on floor, while Tun ranked No. 45 on floor.

Individually, Butts helped coach Koshinski to her fourth career All-America honor and first first-team recognition, as she was named to the NACGC/W Regular Season All-America Vault First Team. Koshinski became the first gymnast in program history to earn at least one honor in four consecutive seasons. The 2019 All-Big 12 Gymnastics Vault Team member also set the WVU records for career 9.9+ scores on vault (26) and floor (22).

Additionally, rising senior Abby Kaufman competed in the all-around in all 14 meets, the second-highest season total in program history, and earned 544.925 points, the third-best single-season total in program history.

WVU tallied three top-50 scores, including a season-high 196.425 in wins over No. 22 Ohio State, No. 24 Penn State and NC State on March 17, at the WVU Coliseum. Most notably, WVU totaled 49.5 on floor in wins over Pitt and Cornell on Feb. 17, at the WVU Coliseum. The mark was the fifth-best floor score in program history. Koshinski earned the first 10.0 of her career that same day and claimed the floor victory with a career-best 9.975.

Academically, eight Mountaineers earned a spot on the 2019 Academic All-Big 12 Gymnastics First Team. Three Mountaineers earned the honor with 4.0 grade point averages (GPA); no other conference team had an honoree with a 4.0 GPA. Seven gymnasts also were named NACGC/W Scholastic All-Americans.

Kaufman led the way in the classroom and became the first gymnast since 2007 to be selected to an Academic All-America Team, as she was named to the 2019 CoSIDA Women’s At-Large Academic AllAmerica Third Team. She also became the second Mountaineer gymnast and the first since Jaida Lawrence in 2015 to earn Big 12 Scholar-Athlete of the Year accolades.

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 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 All-America accolades, as 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 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 Championships, as 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.

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 in the second semifinal session at the 2017 NCAA 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 Championships.

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

Koshinski also was named to the NACGC/W AllAmerica 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 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. 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.

Eight gymnasts were named Scholastic All-Americans 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 2015 Big 12 Championship, 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 balance 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) and Alexa Goldberg (bars).

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

Butts also saw his team excel in the classroom in 2015. Lawrence was named the Big 12 ScholarAthlete 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 Championships in the all-around, 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 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 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 and floor), while Haley (all-around) and Beth Deal (beam) each earned one, quadrupling the program’s honors from 2013. Sloanhoffer, Deal (beam), Goldberg (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. 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 Championship. The team also qualified for its 34th NCAA Regional Championships and placed fifth in front of a WVU Coliseum crowd.

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 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 (No. 22 in the Jan. 25 Road to Nationals Rankings). 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).

Included in 2013’s five 196.0+ performances were 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 WVU Coliseum on Feb. 24. The Mountaineers’ score was the 10th-best mark in program history. WVU also earned its first Big 12 victory with a 196.15-194.825 win over ISU at the WVU Coliseum on Feb. 10 in front of 2,522 fans, the sixth-largest crowd to attend a home WVU gymnastics meet. In all, 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 studentathletes were named to the 2013 Academic All-Big 12 Gymnastics Team and all three newcomers were 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 allaround, 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.

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 final season 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 Deal secured the 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 33rd 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.

A two-time (2009-10) Southeast Region Assistant Coach of the Year, Butts spent five seasons

32

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

WVU placed second at the EAGL Championship on 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.

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+ 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 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).

Q&A WITH THE WVU

GYMNASTICS COACHING STAFF never know who is going to go down or who is going to go in, so you have to be ready. That is something they can build on. They can build on their experiences as underclassmen and become senior leaders.

HEAD COACH JASON BUTTS: Because of a couple injuries last year, a lot of underclassmen had to step up and fill in some holes. We had several people step up that have not competed before, which is what you want as a coach with a team. We hope that we don’t have to face that same kind of adversity this year, but it makes them stronger, and that’s what we hope they learn.

HEAD COACH JASON BUTTS

The West Virginia University gymnastics team opens its 2020 season against No. 17 Penn State on Saturday, Jan. 11, at 4 p.m., in State College, Pennsylvania.

With the first competition in sight, head coach Jason Butts, associate head coach Travis Doak and assistant coach Kaylyn Millick sat down to share their thoughts on the Mountaineers’ upcoming season.

The team ended the 2019 season with a fourth-place finish in the second of two second-round quad meets at the 2019 NCAA Ann Arbor Regional Championships with a 195.425 score.

The score was WVU’s fifth-best mark earned at an NCAA Regional. With 11 student-athletes returning to the team this season – what did they learn last year, and how do they continue to build off a successful 2019 season?

ASSOCIATE HEAD COACH TRAVIS DOAK: They did well under adversity last year, and we hope that they continue to build on adversity.

We were really thin in terms of depth, and they still came through and did a great job. I’m hoping that they will all come through and do their job again this year regardless of how much depth we have on a specific event.

ASSISTANT COACH KAYLYN MILLICK: This year’s senior class has dealt with a ton of adversity throughout their careers, but they continue to push, and that’s what we ask of everyone. (Senior) Julia (Merwin) has been in and out of lineups, but she continues to show up and do her job. As leaders, I think that is important. You never know what to expect. You

The Mountaineers hit 24-of-24 routines six times last season. How was the team able to execute such great consistency in 2019?

BUTTS: They do it in practice. That’s where the consistency comes from; repetition. It’s the nature of the sport. They are going to compete how they practice. Everything counts in Cary Gym. I was looking at scores this morning, and our consistency over the years has gotten better and better and better. We are consistency riding in that 195 range, but we need more. We need to consistency be in the 196 range.

You indicated at the Fall Classic that there are going to be a lot of new routines this season and that over half the lineups are going to be different.

What are your hopes for 2020?

DOAK: We just need to get going. We need to see who is going to step up and what kind of adjustments we need to make as a coaching staff. Who is going to be prepared to start us off with high scores? Maybe there is a skill in a routine that we need to coach a little differently.

We just need to go. Lineups are going to be so different. I don’t think we ever unveiled a team that is this new. Seventeen-out-of-24 routines are going to be different. We just need to go, and then after we go, decide as a coaching staff what we need to work on.

BUTTS: With the NCAA changing the start value to 9.4, it has forced us to reevaluate some routines and create new skills and combinations depending on the event. That has affected our lineups, but we must adapt. I thought we spent a lot of time this preseason getting ready for it, and I think we are ready.

We just have to get going, and we’ll make changes as we go. I think we are a very adaptable staff, and I think because of that, we have a very adaptable team.

MILLICK: I’m excited even though it is a little bit different. Like Jason said, we have been consistently in that 195 range, and maybe this is the year that we change things up. We have a ton of talent on this team. They just have to

find their confidence. They are super young, but I think we’ll hit a good stride pending that nothing happens out of the ordinary. It could be a good year for change, and the quality of our gymnastics is better because the talent level is better.

As a team, you lost great leaders in Carly Galpin, Kirah Koshinski and Jaquie Tun. How do you fill those roles?

BUTTS: Those are big roles to fill, especially on floor with Kirah (Koshinski) and Jaquie (Tun), but our seniors have done a great job this year in terms of leadership, which is almost as important as what they can bring to the table skill wise. We are going to feel the impact of having those guys gone, but we have very talented freshmen. We’ll also get Julia, (senior) Chloe (Cluchey) and (sophomore) Rachel (Hornung) back from their injuries, so hopefully, we can fill in some of those holes.

It might not have the ‘wow’ factor here and there, but we can make up for it in tenths with stuck landings, handstands, presentation and execution that we didn’t do last year.

DOAK: We are always going to miss our senior class, which is exactly what you want as coaches. The year before was Zaakira (Muhammad), and now, it’s Kirah. I think that is a testament to our program and what we are working toward. With that said, each year is a new year. You throw one bad egg in, it changes the dynamic. You throw one good egg in, it changes the dynamic. We never had this much new. We harp on adversity, but I think it’s a good thing because it shows you what you got, and we must rely on our seniors once again. We expect them to be strong and step up.

Kirah Koshinski left her legacy on this program, setting multiple program records. She also was named to the 2019 NACGC/W Regular Season All-America Vault First Team, her fourth career AllAmerica honor and first first-team recognition. With the honor, she became the first gymnast in school history to earn at least one honor in four consecutive seasons. How do her accomplishments help set the foundation for future success?

BUTTS: With Kirah leaving as a four-time All-American, I feel like this program is on an upward track. The last time we had a fourtime All-American was over 30 years ago with Kristin Quackenbush. It can be a challenge to get some of the higher-level athletes here compared to our other competitors, but that’s why we work hard and keep plugging along.

MILLICK: I think that is what’s cool. The AllAmericans are listed on the wall in Cary Gym, and we used to look at that and say, ‘who are those people?’ Now, they are seeing their teammates up there, so it is more achievable in their brains.

It is something that they can work for. It is not so distance to them. It seems realistic now.

GYMNASTICS

What type of leadership qualities will the upperclassmen bring to the team this year, and what are your expectations for them?

BUTTS: They are extremely hard workers. All four of them are very different, so they bring different challenges to the table, but those four personalities are helping the team because our team has so many different personalities.

Despite those differences, they work really well together. They’ve been doing a ton of sports psych stuff on the side, which they have really embraced on their own, and they are bringing that voice of reason to the team. It’s a different generation, and I’m getting older, so I’m going to rely on them to be that go-between with the younger generation. We wouldn’t be able to have a successful year without this senior class.

MILLICK: We keep talking about adversity because it’s inevitable, and the four of them have had adversity. (Senior) Erica (Fontaine) sat out her entire freshman year. (Senior) Abby (Kaufman) has had to work extremely hard with this new start value. Chloe sat out, and Julia has been out. Their teammates have seen them fight back for three, going on four years now, so I think that is just leadership in itself.

Sometimes actions speak louder than words, and truthfully, the four of them have pushed through some hard, tough injuries. I think that’s important for the underclassmen to see. It’s not going to come easy. You must keep working at it, and you can’t be afraid to fail. They show up every day and work through that adversity.

They show that it can be done, and I think that’s what makes this team strong.

BUTTS: Gymnastics is not necessarily easy for these four. They must work hard and be competitive to make lineups, but I love that.

DOAK: There are some classes that don’t like to compete, but this group likes to compete. These seniors like to compete, and they are going to expect the underclassmen to do the same. They enjoy competition, and they are going to expect their team to do it. You don’t always have that.

They are not all naturally talented. They must work, but they want to showcase their work.

That’s what makes them a college athlete.

Over 50 percent of this year’s roster are freshmen and sophomores. What gymnasts from this group do you see pushing themselves to do more now that they have some collegiate experience under their belt?

DOAK: Put an exclamation point on (sophomore) Kendra (Combs). We didn’t get to see her last year because of her knee, and she’s going to come out of the gate doing three events. (Sophomore) Esperanza (Abarca) is just a silent work horse. She’s awesome.

MILLICK: Esperanza is going to do whatever is best for the team. She’s going to do everything she can to reach her max potential.

Right now, she’s working with Jason to get a new bar dismount, and she’s done it. She did a full routine with it the other day. She’s just

34

always pushing the envelope, and I think that’s a good thing.

DOAK: You’re going to write a ton about (feshman) Kianna (Yancey). She’ll probably be our top all-arounder, but we don’t know if we are going to bring her out just yet. (Freshman) Abbie Pierson is very dynamic, and (freshman) Emily (Holmes-Hackerd) is coming back in a month. She can do any event she wants to.

MILLICK: I also want to highlight (junior) McKenna (Linnen). She’s going to add a third event this year in vault, and that’s a big deal for her. She’s been a rock star.

Is there one gymnast who will lead the team this season?

BUTTS: It’s going to be spread out more. We’re going to have a lot of new routines, a lot of new faces and a lot of familiar faces doing new things.

MILLICK: A lot of older faces are coming back, too. Chloe’s floor routine has always been a staple. She’ll probably be back in there. I wouldn’t say there is just one gymnast though.

I like that though. I think there are a couple in each class that has a voice and will step up, and that’s a testament to recruiting higher levels. It’s interesting.

BUTTS: At the end of the day, we are a team sport, but every team always has that one standout. I like that this team is kind of spread out. All 16 stand a chance at going to regionals this year.

MILLICK: I think it’s good not to rely on one person to carry you. That’s the individual part of a team sport like gymnastics. You must do your part and make sure you’re carrying your weight.

The 2020 schedule features four home meets at the WVU Coliseum, including two in the month of March.

WVU also will compete against four teams which ended the 2019 season ranked in the top 25 of the Road to National Rankings, including NCAA National Champion and reigning Big 12 Conference champion Oklahoma.

How will this schedule challenge and prepare the Mountaineers for the postseason?

MILLICK: It’s hard starting on the road, but I like that we are ending at home. That’s when you hit your stride, and then, we go right into Big 12’s.

The first couple months will be tough because we only have one home meet at the end of January, but I’m excited for this year’s schedule.

BUTTS: We’re going up against some great teams, but at the end of the day, our score is all that matters. We must put up some great scores on the road and continue to build momentum when we are here. Hosting Big 12’s is going to be really exciting, and we are pulling out all the stops for that one. I’m just ready to get on the bus and head to Penn State and do gymnastics. We don’t know what to fix for postseason until we see where we are.

Following a one-year absence, the popular Beauty and the Beast meet returns this year. The gymnastics and wrestling teams will compete simultaneously on Sunday, Feb. 23, at 1 p.m. As a staff, how excited are you for the atmosphere that is created during this event?

BUTTS: I love this event because it draws double the crowd. It’s very entertaining, and there’s going to be a lot of energy on the floor.

It’ll be the first time with the new wrestling staff to have this event, and I think it’s a great opportunity for us to cross promote two popular sports, especially those families that have a daughter and a son.

MILLICK: I’m glad that we had the opportunity to bring it back. It’s hard to get that scheduled in there. It’s two sports that are very similar, mentally, so it’s kind of cool to see it at the same time. Obviously, wrestling fans know wrestling, and gymnastics fans know gymnastics, but you kind of understand each of them because they are very similar from a mental aspect.

What advantage does this team receive hosting the 2020 Big 12 Championship in March?

BUTTS: It’ll be huge. It’s going to be on a podium, so it will feel different to them. We’re excited to just be at home, be in our own beds and compete in front of our home crowd.

Because we are a smaller conference, it doesn’t feel like a championship with four teams, and that’s something as a coaching staff we have worked really hard on to fix. How do we get there? Well this is the first year with live television, as well as a podium, and the fact that we get to do it here at West Virginia, it is really exciting for us. I think the team will take a lot of pride in that, and that’s already a stepup walking in the door.

A big pillar for this program is academic success. How do your student-athletes succeed in the gym and in the classroom?

DOAK: We have type A people, so I don’t think we really have to think about that. We don’t really have to harp on them too much.

It’s just a general expectation. If you know how to manage your time, then you know how to manage your time. We treat them like adults because they are adults.

BUTTS: Gymnasts typically have very good time management skills anyways. Even the one’s that haven’t been very good at it are above average compared to the regular college student. This year, there has been a lot of pride instilled into them to try and get a high team GPA. Once you get it rolling, it just keeps building from there.

10.0 of her career that same day and claimed the floor victory with a career-best 9.975. Koshinski also total a 10.0 on vault, scoring a winning 9.95 at Pitt on Feb. 22.

WVU was at its most consistent in Doak’s 10th season with the Mountaineers, as the team did not count a fall in all but one meet. The Mountaineers qualified for their 39th NCAA Regional Championships and placed fourth at the Big 12 Championship with a 195.625, their second-best score 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.

ASSOCIATE HEAD COACH

TRAVIS 12th SEASON

In Doak’s ninth season in 2017, WVU gymnastics again had a presence at the NCAA Championships, as Zaakira Muhammad qualified in the all-around. She was most successful on floor, 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 Championships. Additionally, she tallied 9.8 on uneven 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 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 Championships bid with a fourth-place, 39.325 showing in the all-around.

The Mountaineers tallied 11 individual scores of 9.9 or better in 2015, including 9.95 showings for Haley (floor) and Alexa Goldberg (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 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.

Doak helped guide Hope Sloanhoffer to the 2014 NCAA Championships, 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 all-around and first on beam at the 2014 NCAA Athens Regional Championships.

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

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 events. 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.

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 56 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’ league-best seventh East Atlantic Gymnastics League (EAGL) title, the team’s first since 2008, WVU advanced to the NCAA Auburn Regional Championships and finished in fifth 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

Also in 2017, a pair of Mountaineers claimed All-America honors. Zaakira Muhammad advanced to the NCAA National Championships in the all-around and finished eighth on floor, earning All-America Second Team accolades. Muhammad was the first WVU gymnast to earn All-America honors at the NCAA Championships since 2007. Additionally, Koshinski claimed her second consecutive NACGC/W Regular Season All-America Second Team Vault honor and also was named to the All-Big 12 Gymnastics Vault Team for the second year in a row.

Millick was instrumental in the program’s progress in 2016. She helped guide the squad back into the national rankings, and the Mountaineers spent six of the last nine weeks of the season ranked, the team’s first national ranking since March 18, 2013.

The squad also earned scores of 195.0 or better in 11 straight contests and finished with an 11-8 overall record (1-5 Big 12).

ASSISTANT COACH

KAYLYN

The team’s floor lineup was consistent and strong throughout the season and tallied scores of 49.0+ nine times, including a seasonhigh 49.575 in wins over Bowling Green and Ohio State on March 6. The score is the third-highest mark in program history.

Millick also helped coach Koshinski to NACGC/W All-America Second Team accolades on vault. She also claimed the Big 12 Newcomer of the Year honor, as well as All-Big 12 Gymnastics Vault Team and All-Big 12 Championship Team honors.

In her first season with the Mountaineers, Millick helped guide WVU to a fifth-place finish at the 2015 NCAA Morgantown Regional Championships. The squad posted a 195.65 mark, the second-best program score at a regional championships.

Additionally, WVU earned a program regional-record score of 49.225 on beam.

WVU also earned a program-best, second-place finish at the 2015 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. WVU earned 11 scores of 9.9 or better, six on floor, with Haley tallying a season-best 9.95.

FIFTH SEASON

» WEST VIRGINIA, 2014

Kaylyn Millick returned to West Virginia University in 2019 as the Mountaineers’ assistant coach after serving in that same role from 2015-17. Millick, who is currently in her fifth season, oversees the team’s choreography for balance beam and floor exercise and leads the Mountaineers’ community service outreach program.

In 2019, Millick helped WVU qualify for the regional championships for the 40th time in program history, the 36th time in NCAA competition, and placed fourth in the second of two second round quad meets at the NCAA Ann Arbor Regional Championships with a 195.425 score.

WVU was nationally ranked twice in the Road to Nationals Rankings. The vault and floor lineups were nationally ranked each week, with the floor lineup spending seven weeks in the top 10 and peaking at No. 5. At season end, seniors Kirah Koshinski and Jaquie Tun owned a combined three national rankings.

Koshinski ranked No. 7 on vault and No. 28 on floor, while Tun ranked No. 45 on floor. WVU finished the season with a 19-9 overall record (0-4 Big 12), the team’s top win mark since earning 21 victories in 2012.

Additionally, Koshinski was named to the NACGC/W Regular Season All-America Vault First Team, her fourth career All-America honor and first first-team recognition. She became the first gymnast in program history to earn at least one honor in four consecutive seasons. Koshinski also was named to the All-Big 12 Vault Team for the third time in her career and the first time since 2017.

Millick helped coach WVU to a third-place finish at the 2017 NCAA Morgantown Regional Championships, her third season with the team, with a program-record 196.325 score. The Mountaineers finished the season ranked No. 20 in the Road to Nationals Rankings, their highest position in the final season rankings since finishing No. 18 in 2007. WVU’s final season record stood at 13-10, 3-3 in Big 12 competition.

The Mountaineers finished the 2015 season with a 14-9-1 (1-1-1 Big 12) mark and sat at No. 28 in the final GymInfo Poll, their best position since earning a No. 21 ranking at the end of the 2012 season.

A three-year letterwinner for WVU from 2011-13, Millick served as a student assistant in 2014.

As a student assistant, Millick helped guide senior Hope Sloanhoffer to a 2014 NCAA National Championships bid as an all-around competitor, the Mountaineers’ first qualification since 2009. Sloanhoffer finished the season as the NCAA Athens Regional Championship beam champion and the Big 12 allaround champion, the program’s first Big 12 title winner.

An all-around competitor who transferred from Eastern Michigan after the 2010 season and found a home at WVU, Millick tallied 1,290.3 points in three years as a Mountaineer and saw time in 38 meets. She ended her career ranked ninth in the program record book with 12 career scores of 39.0 or better. She also ranked 20th all-time with eight career scores of 9.9 or better, six of which came on floor, the 10th-best total in program history.

As a senior in 2013, Millick earned the Linda Burdette-Good Award as the team’s Most Valuable Gymnast. The first-ever Mountaineer to earn a spot on the All-Big 12 Championship Team (all-around), she reached the podium a team-best 23 times and scored career-best marks on vault (9.85), uneven bars (9.9), beam (9.875), floor (9.95) and the all-around (39.4). She finished second in the all-around at the Big 12 Championship with a 39.2 score and finished the season ranked No. 27 nationally in the allaround with a 39.3 regional qualifying score (RQS).

A four-time All-EAGL honoree, Millick led the Mountaineers to the 2012 East Atlantic Gymnastics League (EAGL) Championship as a junior. She followed that meet with a 10th-place finish in the all-around at the 2012 NCAA Auburn Regional Championships with a then-career-best score of 39.225.

In her first season at WVU, Millick earned the team’s highest finish at the 2011 NCAA Southeast Regional Championships, placing fifth on floor with a 9.85 score.

2020 MOUNTAINEERS

2020 SEASON

PREVIEW

The West Virginia University gymnastics team returns to competition under the guidance of ninth-year coach Jason Butts, who led the team to a 19-9 mark last season. WVU reached double-digit wins in just six meets, the fastest under Butts and the quickest since earning 10 victories in five meets in 2010. The Mountaineers’ 2019 win total was the team’s top win mark since earning 21 victories in 2012, Butts’ first season.

MOUNTAINEERS LOOK TO CLIMB HIGHER The Mountaineers look to build on their strong finish to the 2019 season. WVU capped last season with a fourth-place, 195.425 showing at the NCAA Ann Arbor Regional Championships. It was the team’s fifth-best mark at an NCAA regional.

Ten of the 11 returning Mountaineers earned time in at least one lineup at the regional championships, including senior Abby Kaufman, who competed in the all-around.

WVU was nationally ranked twice in the 2019 Road to Nationals Rankings. The vault and floor exercise lineups were nationally ranked each week, with the floor lineup spending seven weeks in the top 10 and peaking at No. 5.

At season end, graduates Kirah Koshinski and Jaquie Tun owned a combined three national rankings. Koshinski ranked No. 7 on

70

vault and No. 28 on floor exercise, while Tun ranked No. 45 on floor exercise.

Additionally, Koshinski was named to the NACGC/W Regular Season All-America Vault First Team, earning her fourth career All-America honor and her first first-team recognition. She became the first gymnast in program history to earn at least one honor in four seasons.

Since Butts appointment in 2011, he has compiled a 110-77-1 (.588) record and has led WVU to seven appearances at the NCAA Regional Championships and a program best, second-place showing at the 2015 Big 12 Gymnastics Championship.

ONE LAST MEET SEASON The Mountaineers will follow the lead of four veterans this season: Chloe Cluchey, Erica Fontaine, Julia Merwin and Kaufman.

Combined, the gymnasts have competed in 131 career meets.

Last season, Kaufman paced WVU with 544.925 points and enters her final season with 1,049.475 career points, the only Mountaineer on the 2020 roster with more than 1,000 career points. Cluchey sits behind Kaufman with 562.0 career points, followed

by Merwin (457.625) and Fontaine (301.85).

The senior quartet gets the job done in the classroom, too, as three of the four were named to the 2019 Academic All-Big 12 Gymnastics Team. Kaufman and Merwin also

were a part of the 2019 National Association of Collegiate Gymnastics Coaches/Women (NACG/W) Scholastic All-America Team for the third year in a row.

NEWCOMERS READY FOR MOUNTAINEER DEBUTS Five freshmen join the team this season: Emily Holmes-Hackerd, Maya Kraus, Abbie Pierson, Kianna Yancey and Kayla Yancey.

All five are expected to see competition time throughout the year.

A native of Ipswich, Massachusetts, HolmesHackerd was a four-year, level 10 gymnast out of Brestyan’s Gymnastics. A two-time Junior Olympics National Championships qualifier, she placed sixth on floor at the 2017 championships.

Hailing from Fairport, New York, Kraus was a two-year, level 10 gymnast out of Rochester Gymnastics Academy, as well as a two-time Junior Olympics National Championships qualifier. Kraus most recently earned four top-10 finishes at the 2019 Level 10 Region 6 Championships, wining the vault title and placing fourth on floor exercise, sixth in the all-around and seventh on balance beam.

A native of New Kensington, Pennsylvania, Pierson is a four-year, level 10 gymnast from Gymkhana Inc. A three-time Junior Olympics National Championships qualifier, she has earned five top-10 finishes at the championships, including a third-place finish

WVU previously hosted the event in 2014, with Hope Sloanhoffer becoming the first Mountaineer gymnast to win a Big 12 title in the all-around event. The Sooners won their eighth consecutive league crown last season and went on to win the national title at the 2019 NCAA Championships.

The NCAA Regional First Round will be held on Thursday, April 2, and the NCAA Championships are set for April 17-18, in Fort Worth, Texas.

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST RETURNS Following a one-year absence, the popular Beauty and the Beast Meet returns this year.

The WVU gymnastics and wrestling teams will compete simultaneously on Sunday , Feb. 23, at 1 p.m., at the WVU Coliseum.

The gymnastics team will have a quad meet against Towson, Western Michigan and Bowling Green, while the wrestling squad will face Utah Valley.

This year’s meet is the fifth hosted at the WVU Coliseum. The Mountaineers last held a Beauty and the Beast Meet on Feb. 18, 2018, with both teams earning victories. The gymnasts trumped Maryland and Pitt with a 196.225 showing, and the wrestlers defeated Clarion 25-13.

Of the five newcomers, Kianna is expected to make the biggest immediate impact, as the coaches plan for her to be an all-around competitor at some point this season.

2020 SLATE PROMISES CHALLENGES, EXCITEMENT Regional opponents and nationally ranked squads are sprinkled throughout the team’s 2020 schedule, which features six teams ranked in the first Road to National Rankings of the season.

In addition to Penn State, the Mountaineers will compete at No. 1 Oklahoma and No. 19 Iowa and play host to No. 10 Kentucky and No. 11 Western Michigan later in the year.

Additionally, the team will compete against No. 18 New Hampshire twice this season.

The Mountaineers will close their regularseason slate at home with a tri-meet against Maryland and Kentucky, which leads into

LINDA BURDETTE-GOOD 37 SEASONS » 1975‑2011 » RECORD: 644-263-4 Only the second coach in the history of West Virginia gymnastics, BurdetteGood constantly worked to upgrade the Mountaineer program.

ALASKA RICHARDSON

JASON BUTTS 8 SEASONS » 2012 - PRESENT RECORD: 110-77-1 Elevated to the head coach position after serving five years as an assistant under 37-year coach Linda Burdette-Good, Butts is determined to put the West Virginia University gymnastics team back on the national state. 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 regularseason meet.

CHAMPIONSHIP

APPEARANCES

1982 AIAW CHAMPIONSHIPS

Led by unheralded freshman Shari Retton from Fairmont, West Virginia, the 1982 gymnastics team surprised the country by finishing third at the AIAW Championships in Memphis, Tennessee. 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 powerhouses Georgia, Ohio State, Brigham Young and Washington State, among others.

Retton captured First Team All-America honors on 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 it to the next level with an at‑large bid to the 1995 NCAA Championships in Athens, Georgia. 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 the 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 WVU’s three seniors, Liz Byrnes, Jenni Kaye and Shannon Migli, 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 at the NCAA Regionals held before their 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 consecutive season, the Mountaineers were undefeated in the Coliseum in regular season competition. One of the most significant of those wins came on Feb. 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.

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.

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, Minnesota. 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.

2000 MOUNTAINEERS

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.

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.

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 1982-85 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, Tennessee.

A four-year letterwinner from Fairmont, West Virginia, Retton helped the 10thseeded Mountaineers finish third at the 1982 national championships, posting a third-place individual finish in the all-around (36.30) as a freshman.

Retton, a two-time team captain, 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, she is the older sister of Olympic champion gymnast Mary Lou Retton; their brother Ron played baseball at WVU. Retton, who is married to former WVU quarterback Mike Timko, currently lives in Houston, Pennsylvania.

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

SHANE

I

LYONS ASSOCIATE VICE-PRESIDENT

n his fifth year as the director of athletics at West Virginia University, Shane Lyons’ vison for the athletic program is crystal clear and working. 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 coaches. His honest, fair and caring approach has energized an entire department, which has led to great success on and off the field. 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.

He devotes endless energy to his Climbing Higher facilities master plan that will keep West Virginia a strong Power 5 institution and position his department for growth and continued success. Lyons’ Climbing Higher 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. It’s an aggressive $100 million fundraising campaign centered on one of his core values, which is enhancing the student-athlete experience.

From training, nutrition, medical and competitiveness, Lyons’ vision is for future success, building winning programs and growing WVU’s strong reputation across the country. He is about results, and he has already left a great deal of accomplishments in his rear-view mirror.

In 2019, West Virginia recorded its highest APR score ever at 985 and again finished higher than the national average. The overall athletics department GPA was its highest at 3.26 with 13 teams over a 3.0 GPA for the year. Lyons commissioned and announced an Economic Impact study that showed Mountaineer Athletics produced more than $300 million to the state’s economy and more than $78 million to the local economy. And with the local economy in mind, Lyons’s department will assist with the formal opening of a new $45 million aquatic and track facility that will not only benefit WVU’s swimming and diving program, but also local high schools and the entire community.

Among the Mountaineer highlights in the 2019 campaign were 43 All-Americans, 81 All-Conference performers, three conference championships, 159 Academic AllConference selections, seven teams to the NCAA postseason, a fourth-place finish for the Heisman Trophy and 22 professional draft picks among all sports.

In addition, Lyons’ department hosted for the first time in history both the NCAA Rifle Championships and the Big 12 golf championship as well as the NCAA baseball regionals for the first time since 1955. In total, WVU athletics hosted more than 160 events during the 2018-19 season.

From 2015-18, he spearheaded and finished more than $100 million in fan enhancements to Milan Puskar Stadium and the WVU Coliseum, completed a second phase 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, under Lyons’ leadership, WVU athletics 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 of Mountaineer 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 four years. The director hates to be last, and he rolls up his sleeves every day to make sure WVU is not last in anything.

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 Oversight Committee. He is also a member of the college football competition committee and locally serves 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.

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, choregraphed 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 (difficult) 2.20 Special requirements 2.00 Bonus elements 0.50 Execution/composition 5.30 Total 10.00

JULIA MERWIN

VAULT

» Vault requires speed, quickness and explosive power » Vaults are divided into four categories: handsprings, forward saltos, backward saltos and vaults from a roundoff » New in 2016, only certain vaults are assigned a start value of up to 10.0: Yurchenko pike full, Yurchenko half front layout (Arabian style) and a Yurchenko/Tsukahara Tuck 1 ½ » Yurchenko layout full and Yurchenko layout half vaults are now assigned start values of up to 9.95 » Gymnasts must remain motionless upon landing or a deduction will be taken

UNEVEN BARS

» A complete routine comprises 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

» Gymnasts must change bars two times and must have at least two flight elements

BALANCE BEAM

» A 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 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 CHLOE CLUCHEY

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 » A routine must last between 1:10 and 1:30 and is required to have two or three tumbling “passes” » Gymnasts must balance the difficultly of their tumbling skills and dance skills and should finish the routine as strongly as it was started » Specific deductions are taken for stepping off the mat and for being out of sync with the music
