BACK-TO-BACK NCAA SUPER SIX APPEARANCES

LSU FOLLOWED UP A PHENOMENAL 2008 SEASON

WITH A BANNER YEAR IN 2009

In fact, the last two seasons might be the best back-to-back seasons in

LSU history. After reaching the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first NCAA Super Six at the 2008 NCAA Championships LSU repeated as NCAA Super Six participants in 2009 and set a school record with six Tigers earning All-America honors, including a record-tying four Tigers receiving First-Team All-America honors. LSU scored a 196.300 in the NCAA Championship preliminary round to move past Stanford and earn a spot in the Super Six for the second-straight year.

Two nights later, senior Ashleigh Clare-Kearney made LSU history by winning

two individual national titles. With her teammates and coaches giving support, Clare-Kearney leapt her way to a vault national title and followed that by claiming the floor exercise title. Not only did Clare-Kearney win the vault title, but Susan Jackson finished right behind her to give LSU the top two places in the event for the first time in school history.

It truly was a banner year in LSU gymnastics in 2009 as the Tigers repeated

as Central Regional champions, won two individual national titles, earned 10 AllAmerica honors among six gymnasts and capped the season with a second-straight appearance in the national championship meet - the Super Six.

Aerobic exercise and conditioning area

The Tigers compete in the nationally renowned Pete Maravich Assembly Center. Our gymnasts train in one of the nation’s best facilities as well. The LSU gymnastics team moved into the newly renovated training area in the LSU Field House in the fall of 2000. Located in the midst of LSU’s state-of-theart athletics complexes, the gymnastics facility includes a locker room, squad room and 18,143 square feet of training space. There is an equipment room, sound room and conditioning/aerobic room. Large glass windows allow onlookers to view the Bernie Moore Track Stadium, legendary Tiger Stadium, the Pete Maravich Assembly Center and the beautiful landscaping of the LSU campus.

Pete Maravich ASSEMBLY CENTER

Paramount to the success of an intercollegiate program is a first-class facility, and the Tigers have just that in the Pete Maravich Assembly Center. For over 30 years the “PMAC” has been home to some of the finest gymnastics competitions in the nation, and LSU has been nearly unbeatable in the facility as the Tigers have earned a 23050-3 record since the program first started in 1975 for a winning percentage of nearly 82 percent. The PMAC has served as the host site for three SEC Championships and nine NCAA Regional Championships, the last of which came in 2008 and helped propel LSU to its first ever NCAA Super Six.

Seating 13,215 spectators, the massive $11.5 million building has competed with neighboring Tiger Stadium as the most visible structure on the LSU campus since its completion in 1971. Originally named, “The Assembly Center,” in 1988 Louisiana Governor Buddy Roemer signed legislation changing the official name of the building to the Pete Maravich Assembly Center in honor of the former LSU basketball legend who had died earlier that same year. The PMAC also serves as home to both the LSU men’s and women’s basketball teams, as well as the volleyball program. In addition to the normal seating configuration, a proscenium stage

2010 LSU GYMNASTICS MEDIA GUIDE

can be lowered into place at the north end allowing some 4,500 seats for theatrical productions. An additional 1,000 seats can be placed on the floor for graduations, convocations, lectures, concerts or other special events. Several renovations have recently been completed to keep the PMAC as one of the top facilities in the Southeastern Conference. In 2004, the upper concourse was remodeled to include exhibits, displays and interactive kiosks documenting LSU sports history in the PMAC. In 2006, new seating was installed, and in 2008 a new multi-million dollar high definition video replay system was installed in the scoreboard.

It represents the University as a memorial to those who gave their lives during World War I. Although it currently houses the LSU Anglo-American Art Museum, plans are in process to return Memorial Tower to a military museum as originally intended.

Louisiana State University and Agricultural & Mechanical College has, throughout its 145year history, served the people of Louisiana, the region, the nation, and the world. LSU is creating a revolution, one of pervasive change and advancement. For the past five years, the focus of the LSU community has been an increased commitment to excellence. Our progress has been dramatic and shows no sign of stopping. Having witnessed many of yesterday’s possibilities become today’s tangible realities, the LSU community set forth to capitalize on its success. The goal was to improve our standing as a nationally competitive flagship university. Following intense discussions among the LSU Board of Supervisors, campus administrators, faculty, and student leaders, the objectives required to reach this status crystallized, providing the impetus for LSU’s National Flagship Agenda.

LSU GREATS

The following eight individuals are the only athletes to have their jerseys retired by LSU. Basketball has retired the No. 23 for Pete Maravich, No. 50 for Bob Pettit, Jr., No. 33 for Shaquille O’Neal and No. 40 for Rudy Macklin. Football’s only two retired jerseys are the No. 20 worn by Billy Cannon and the No. 37 worn by Tommy Casanova. Baseball retired the No. 15 in honor of longtime coach and athletics director emeritus Skip Bertman and the No. 20 for Ben McDonald. Casanova, Macklin and McDonald joined the prestigious list in May 2009.

Pettit led LSU to its first NCAA Final Four in 1953 and he later became the first player in NBA history to exceed the 20,000-plus point barrier. Pettit is a member of the NBA Hall of Fame, and in 1997, he was named as one of the top 50 players in NBA history.

One of the true legends of college football in the South, Cannon was the 1959 Heisman Trophy winner and helped the Tigers to the 1958 national title. Cannon’s most memorable performance came in 1959 against Ole Miss when No. 1 LSU trailed No. 3 Ole Miss 3-0 in the fourth quarter. He fielded a punt, broke seven tackles and returned it 89 yards for the 7-3 victory. He went on to a successful 11-year professional career.

Bob Pettit

Billy Cannon

“Pistol Pete,” Maravich still holds the NCAA record for career points with 3,667 and for career scoring average with 44.2 points a game. He was selected the National Player of the Year in 1970 after leading the Tigers to the NIT Final Four. He scored 50-plus points an amazing 28 times. He went on to a 10-year professional career and was selected as one of the NBA’s 50 greatest players in 1997.

O’Neal was the first pick in the 1992 NBA Draft. He was named MVP of the league in 2000 and was a three-time NBA Finals MVP after leading the Los Angeles Lakers to three World Championships. At LSU, O’Neal averaged 21.6 points and 13.6 rebounds for his career, and in 1991, he was named the World’s Amateur Athlete of the Year as well as SEC Athlete of the Year and National Player of the Year. In 1997, he was named as one of the top 50 players in NBA history.

About LSU Retired Jerseys

The retirement of the jerseys of Casanova, McDonald and Macklin comes under a new provision of the LSU jersey retirement bylaws that says the retirement of an athlete’s jersey in a particular sport does not preclude a current student-athlete in that sport from wearing the jersey number in that or any other sport, subject to the discretion of the head coach. This provision applies only to jerseys retired after January 1, 2007, so the numbers worn by Maravich, Pettit, O’Neal, Cannon and Bertman may never again be worn by future student-athletes in their respective sports. To have a jersey retired at LSU, an athlete must have completed intercollegiate competition for LSU a minimum of five years prior to nomination. Athletes must have demonstrated truly unusual and outstanding accomplishments, exceeding and in addition to all criteria used for Hall of Fame selection. Nominees must have a unanimous vote of support from the Hall of Fame committee.

LSU INTRO THIS IS LSU PREVIEW TIGERS COACHES REVIEW

A legend in the college baseball ranks, Bertman created a dynasty at LSU, guiding the Tigers to five national titles in a 10-year stretch from 1991-2000. He also coached the United States to a bronze medal at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta and was an assistant on the gold medal-winning U.S. squad in Seoul, Korea, in 1988. Bertman retired from coaching following the 2001 season and is the LSU athletics director emeritus. Bertman was inducted into the College Baseball Hall of Fame in 2006.

Tommy Casanova is the only threetime All-American in the history of LSU football and is a member of the College Football Hall of Fame. During his Tiger career from 1969-71, Casanova personified versatility for his myriad of talents as he played offense, defense, returned punts and kickoffs. One of just two three-time All-SEC performers at LSU, he played six seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals of the NFL while earning his medical degree.

Ben McDonald won the prestigious Golden Spikes Award, given annually to the nation’s most outstanding player, in 1989 and is a member of the College Baseball Hall of Fame. He led LSU to two College World Series appearances. In 1989, McDonald was also named National Player of the Year by Baseball America, The Sporting News and Collegiate Baseball as he went 14-4 with an ERA of 3.49 and an SEC record 202 strikeouts.

Why LSU? “I chose LSU because it was clear to me that LSU puts the student first. I knew I would have endless support here as it relates to academic excellence, athletic success and community involvement. The coaching staff, academic advisors, athletic administration and Champs/Life Skills coordinators have a true passion for bettering each and every student-athlete both on and off the field. They know how to bring out the best in each athlete by holding us accountable, making us responsible and empowering us to make informed decisions. After learning about the school, seeing the campus and interacting with the people by whom I was surrounded, I knew I could and would forever call LSU my home away from home.”

“It was really quite an honor to be able to play for LSU. Being from Lockport, everybody down there is a big LSU fan. Once I graduated from high school and had to make the decision where I was going to play, LSU was the obvious choice because I had grown up an LSU fan and it was a place where my family could watch me play. LSU really helped me grow both as a player and a person. I have nothing but fond memories of the place.”

Prior to his appointment as LSU’s eighth chancellor, Dr. Martin established a distinguished career in higher education, serving most recently as president of New Mexico State University.

COACHES REVIEW HISTORY RECORDS

Before arriving at NMSU in 2004, Dr. Martin served for six years as vice president for agriculture and natural resources at the University of Florida, leading the university’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences. He was elevated to senior vice president of the University of Florida shortly before being selected as NMSU’s president. Previously, he was vice president for agricultural policy and the dean of the College of Agricultural, Food and Environmental Sciences at the University of Minnesota. He began his academic career at Oregon State University as a faculty member in the Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics. An academic leader dedicated to the land-grant mission, Dr. Martin is recognized as a strong voice for higher education. In 2007, he received the Justin Smith Morrill Memorial Award, named after the author of the bill creating land-grant universities, which honors outstanding service on behalf of the land-grant mission. Only six individuals have been designated to receive this award since it was first given in 1980. For his leadership in improving the quality of life for New Mexico citizens and future generations, he was awarded the 2008 Distinguished Leadership Award by Leadership New Mexico. Other recent awards include his recognition as a powerbroker by The New Mexico Business Weekly in 2006, being named Outstanding Alumnus of Minnesota State University Mankato in 2006, and receiving the NMSU Social Justice Award in 2005. Dr. Martin is involved in a wide array of professional and community organizations and activities. An active scholar, Dr. Martin has authored numerous book chapters and articles for academic journals, trade publications, and the popular press and recently published pieces for The Chronicle of Higher Education and University Business. Some of his philosophy is summed up in the following quote: “It is the tradition of landgrant universities to be non-traditional,” written as part of a 2001 article titled “The Land-Grant University in the 21st Century,” published in the Journal of Agricultural and Applied Economics. He traced the history of the land-grant movement from the mid-1800s and concluded that “the fundamental land-grant principles of accessibility, practical as well as classical education, research and discovery in the public interest, and connectedness to all the people remain powerful and profound.” A native of Crosby, Minn., Dr. Martin earned a bachelor’s degree in business and economics and a master’s degree in economics at Mankato State College (Minnesota State University) in Minnesota. He received his Ph.D. in applied economics from the University of Minnesota in 1977. Dr. Martin and his wife, Jan, have two children, both adopted from South Korea.

Dydia DeLyser, an associate professor in the Department of Geography and Anthropology, serves in her fourth year as LSU’s Faculty Athletics Representative. DeLyser, a native of Santa Monica, Calif., earned her bachelor’s degree in 1992 from UCLA, and her master’s and doctoral degrees from Syracuse University (in 1996 and 1998). DeLyser arrived at LSU in August 1998 as an Instructor before becoming an assistant professor one year later. She was promoted to associate professor with tenure in August 2005. DeLyser is a cultural-historical geographer. Her research has been both ethnographic and historical, and most of it questions how different built landscapes can help make the past meaningful in the present. Much of her published research has focused on two different studies. One was a many-year ethnographic study of a ghost town in California (Bodie State Historic Park) where she examined how images and ideas about the American mythic West became meaningful to the tourists who

visited the town. The second was an historical study that examined a 19th century novel (Ramona) and how it changed the way people understood (and still understand) southern California’s past. Her current research concerns early women aviators and how they used their practices of flying to advance feminism in the post-suffrage era. DeLyser teaches graduate courses in cultural geography, qualitative research, and academic and professional writing. She has also taught undergraduate courses in cultural, and urban geography, and an introductory world-regional geography course. DeLyser is a first-generation American -- her parents were Dutch immigrants and English is her second language. She also has language abilities in Russian and Spanish. DeLyser’s hobbies include driving/riding antique cars and motorcycles. She is also a licensed pilot and co-owns a Citabria, which is a two-place aerobatic airplane.

INTRO THIS IS LSU

LSU Vice Chancellor/Director of Athletics

PREVIEW

Joe Alleva enters his second year as LSU’s Director of Athletics after being hired to lead one of the nation’s most powerful athletic programs on April 4, 2008. Alleva joined LSU after 10 years of outstanding leadership as the director of athletics at Duke University. He officially took over at LSU on July 1, 2008. Under Alleva’s guidance in 2008-09, LSU reached new heights in terms of athletic success while continuing to be recognized as one of the top enterprises in college athletics. The LSU Board of Supervisors approved a promotion on August 28, 2009, expanding his role to the academic side of the university. Alleva accepted the position of LSU Vice-Chancellor while still continuing his role as Director of Athletics. A veteran leader in college athletics, Alleva is dedicated to athletic and academic excellence. He is committed to providing the opportunities and the resources necessary for student-athletes to excel in competition, in the classroom and in the community. Alleva, 56, is well-respected for sustaining high standards of excellence and integrity in athletic programs, hiring the finest coaches in the country and the high level of success achieved by studentathletes. Under Alleva’s direction, all 20 LSU sports competed in NCAA post-season play for the first time in school history, and it culminated with the baseball team winning the national championship. In addition, six teams finished in the top 10 nationally. The Tigers hold claim to being the only school in the Southeastern Conference to participate in a bowl game and the men’s and women’s NCAA basketball tournaments during 200809. Furthermore, LSU student-athletes volunteered a total of 2,360 hours for community service projects. LSU earned a ninth place ranking in the 2009 Learfield Director’s Cup, which measures the overall athletic success for institutions across the country. LSU was second only to Florida in the Director’s Cup among SEC institutions as the Tigers accumulated points in 18 of a possible 20 categories in the standings, also a first for the school. Upon being hired at LSU, Alleva immediately made an impact by hiring Trent Johnson to lead the men’s basketball program. Johnson, the 2009 SEC Coach of the Year, wasted little time in turning the Tigers into a winner as LSU claimed the 2009 SEC regular season title and reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament. LSU also had top 10 national finishes in gymnastics, men’s and women’s indoor track and field and men’s and women’s outdoor track and field. Thirteen of LSU’s 20 sports finished the year ranked among the top 25 in the nation. The Tiger football team capped their season with a record ninth-straight bowl appearance as LSU closed out 2008 with a 38-3 win over 14th-ranked Georgia Tech in the Chick-fil-A Bowl. During the offseason, Alleva helped secure the funding necessary for the addition of a stateof-the-art artificial turf practice field, which compliments the surface the Tigers have in their indoor practice facility. The addition of the

outdoor artificial turf field gives the LSU football program one of the nation’s finest all-around facilities. Not only did LSU teams set records but so did the fans as over 1.5 million fans filled venues on the LSU campus. LSU set the school record for overall attendance in the sports of football, baseball, and softball. Alleva oversaw the grand opening of two of the premier baseball and softball facilities in college athletics, Alex Box Stadium and Tiger Park. LSU also broke ground on a basketball practice facility that will house both the men’s

and women’s basketball teams starting in December of this year. The new basketball practice facility will feature two full length courts as well as locker rooms and other amenities for both squads. In addition, LSU opened a new gift center for its fans – the LSU SportsShop. The LSU SportsShop, a spectacular, free-standing facility that features the latest in LSU apparel and merchandise, is located adjacent to Mike’s Habitat. Under Alleva’s guidance, LSU has one of the most lucrative apparel and shoe contracts with Nike while also having one of the nation’s most attractive multi-media rights contracts with CBS Collegiate Sports Properties. LSU athletic budget is now approaching $85 million, which allows the university to compete at the highest level in the nation. Alleva has a long-term vision for continued improvements to LSU’s athletic facilities in order to insure that the Tigers are among the best in the

country well into the 21st Century. One of his top priorities is the enhancement of Tiger Stadium and making Tiger Stadium and the North Stadium Drive corridor a showplace for the university. Alleva’s innovative plan is to make a plaza area between the Maravich Assembly Center and Tiger Stadium that would recognize LSU’s national championship teams and distinguished alumni. This special area, along with Mike’s Habitat, and the LSU SportsShop, would become the focal point for visitors to campus. Alleva is also pursuing a major renovation to the golf course at the University Club and is developing plans for a new gymnastics practice facility, indoor tennis center and improved soccer and track facilities. “Joe Alleva brings a wealth of experience and accomplishment to LSU,” LSU President John Lombardi said of hiring Alleva. “I’m confident we’ve found a new leader for LSU athletics who exemplifies the vision and integrity needed to lead our sports programs to new heights, a champion of student athletes who believes in the highest standards of competition both on the field and in the classroom.” Alleva’s impressive tenure as director of athletics at Duke propelled the university into the ranks of America’s top all-around collegiate programs. Among his outstanding list of accomplishments includes the greatest 10-year period in Duke athletics, winning more ACC and NCAA championships than in any other decade in school history. Also, his fundraising reached extensive heights providing new facilities or renovations for all 26 sports at Duke, which enhanced the experience for every student-athlete. Alleva is active on the national collegiate athletics scene, having served on the Football Bowl Certification Committee. He sat on several Atlantic Coast Conference committees and served on the NCAA Division I Championships/Competition Cabinet. Alleva majored in Finance at Lehigh University and received his bachelor’s degree in 1975. While at Lehigh, Alleva was the quarterback of the football team and team captain in 1974. Alleva also played on the Lehigh baseball team. He served as a graduate assistant football coach and earned an MBA in 1976. Alleva began his 32-year career at Duke University in 1976. He spent 28 years in the athletic administration prior to becoming director of athletics in 1998. Alleva played a key role in Durham’s community sports scene. He started Little League Baseball in Durham over 20 years ago, and also began the American Legion baseball program Alleva is a member of the North Carolina American Legion Hall of Fame, Suffern High School Hall of Fame and the Rockland County Hall of Fame. Alleva and his wife, Annie, have three children, J.D., Jeff, and Jenny.

LSU

Season Preview

INTRO THIS IS LSU PREVIEW TIGERS COACHES REVIEW HISTORY RECORDS

Over the years, head coach D-D Breaux has seen 32 LSU teams prepare for a season, but few of those teams have moved toward a new season with so many accomplishments and accolades behind them as the 2010 LSU Tigers. That is why she sees a new attitude in this group that is different from her teams in the past. “I think they feel a little more sense of urgency when they come to practice,” Breaux said. “There is a little more pressure to get ready. They know what it takes, and they feel the responsibility to get the job done.” Indeed, this 2010 team is different because they enter the season as the two-time defending NCAA Central Regional Champions as well as back-toback NCAA Super Six performers. LSU returns eight letterwinners from 2009, including four All-American seniors, who bring the Tigers a wealth of experience and leadership. However, LSU will also welcome in five freshmen in 2010, so there will be a healthy blend of experience and youth on the team. “Having this many returning AllAmericans adds some credibility to our team,” Breaux said. “It validates that we are a team that does a good job preparing our kids and keeping them prepared throughout their four years.” The Tigers are working hard every day in the gym, and for the first time since 2004 they are doing so without Ashleigh Clare-Kearney who finished her LSU career by winning two national titles on vault and floor in 2009.Although it is never easy to replace the consistent high scores that Clare-Kearney earned, several Tigers have stepped up to assume the leadership position that Clare-Kearney held. “Seeing kids like Summer Hubbard and Susan Jackson step up, take leadership roles and assume the responsibility of taking care of the younger kids on the team is wonderful,” Breaux said. “They speak out and say things that need

to be said, and those are important components to our team.” As LSU heads into the 2010 season they bring back at least four starters on every event, including five on beam and floor. Clare-Kearney graduated and Staci Schwitkis was forced to give up gymnastics because of a nagging back injury, but the Tigers are strong with Hubbard, Jackson, Kayla Rogers, Sabrina Franceschelli, Sam Engle, Gloria Johnson and Ashley Lee ready to compete once again. LSU also received an added bonus when redshirt sophomore Nikki Lyons was medically cleared to compete. Lyons sat out all of 2009 with an ankle injury after displaying excellent gymnastics as a freshman in 2008. LSU adds five new faces to the roster in Kaleigh Dickson, Lainie Fleming, Ericka Garcia, Janelle Garcia and Shelby Prunty

who will only add more potency to an already strong cast of Tigers.

VAULT OUTLOOK

The Tigers return four potential starters from 2009 on vault with Rogers, Franceschelli, Johnson and Jackson, but LSU must find two new starters and will also need to create depth on what was the team’s strongest event last year. “We have a couple freshmen who we are expecting to be able to challenge, step in and do a great job for us,” Breaux said. “Susan Jackson won the vault national title her sophomore year, finished second and pushed Ashleigh Clare-Kearney to win it last year, so that is a pretty dominant force right there at the end of the lineup. Summer is really vaulting well, and (assistant coach) Bob Moore is doing a great job developing new vaulters and

Season Preview getting kids ready. This will be an event where we may not stick a lot of landings early, but as this vaulting group gets their confidence they will be a very competitive group.”

INTRO THIS IS LSU PREVIEW TIGERS

BARS OUTLOOK

On bars, LSU returns Franceschelli, Engle, Hubbard and Jackson, and two starters will need to be determined for the Tigers to continue to have outstanding success in the event like they had in 2009. “We are hoping that Nikki Lyons can come back strong from her injury,” Breaux said. “She has beautiful bar work, and we would like to think she is durable enough to be able to go out there and compete. Developing the five freshmen is key for us to have a high level of success. The only event Lainie trains is bars, and that is a tough event to break into the lineup. If she does get in one time, hits and does a good job, it will be a hard thing to take her out. She has to create consistency.”

BEAM OUTLOOK

LSU returns five strong starters from 2009 on beam with Johnson, Franceschelli, Engle, Hubbard and Jackson, and the team appears to have outstanding depth in the event heading into the season. “We have a pretty good crew of kids who know how to work beam,” Breaux said. “We have some freshmen who are pretty good beam workers. We haven’t lost much on beam, and this group is working hard to improve the little things that make a difference. It’s all about

LSU

COACHES REVIEW HISTORY RECORDS

Samantha Engle

sticking and consistency. I am pretty confident that we will find six people who will stay on the beam and do it well.”

FLOOR OUTLOOK

As many as five starters are back on floor in 2010 with Rogers, Franceschelli, Hubbard and Jackson as the mainstays in the lineup from 2009. Johnson and Engle split time at one of the other spots in the lineup, so LSU brings back an extremely experienced group on floor this season. However, Johnson is coming off shoulder surgery that has limited her work in the event during fall practice. “Filling in a couple floor slots will be a little more difficult because we don’t have Gloria because we are limiting what she can do,” Breaux said. “Hopefully

Susan, Summer and Sabrina will stay healthy and fit all season and be our three anchors. We are continuing to develop the freshmen, and Sam Engle looks better right now than she has ever looked. With her three events that she is doing, she is in command of her gymnastics.”

ALL-AROUND OUTLOOK

LSU returns two gymnasts who spent most of last season as all-arounders – Franceschelli and Jackson. Both earned All-America honors as all-around competitors in 2009, and the team will count on them once again to provide outstanding leadership and solid scores this season. However, if Breaux has her way they won’t be the only two allarounders for the Tigers in 2010. “Sabrina Franceschelli has stepped up and done a great job for us,” Breaux said. “She and Susan Jackson were AllAmericans in the all-around last year. That speaks volumes to have those two cranking on four events. Summer Hubbard should be an All-American in the all-around this year. If Franceschelli and Jackson repeat that, and we can get Hubbard vaulting in the PMAC like we see her do it in the practice gym, she will be a strong all-arounder and a tough competitor.” As each and every LSU gymnast continues to prepare for the 2010 season, one can sense a different attitude, a new determination in the efforts of each Tiger. After all, LSU has “been there, done that” when it comes to the Super Six finals. This group wants more, not only as individuals but as a team, and not only in the gym but in all areas of their lives. “They are working hard in the gym, in the classroom and in the community,” Breaux said. “There is a triangle of responsibilities that they must take care of, and they just seem to be focused and working hard in all areas. We have kids on every event who are taking charge and have the Eye of the Tiger. They are staying focused on what they have to do.”

D-D Breaux 33rd Season • LSU, 1976

CAREER RECORDS Overall - 562-339-7 (.623) Regular Season - 395-210-5 (.651) Postseason - 167-129-2 (.564)

For the past two seasons LSU gymnastics has joined the elite list of teams to compete in the Super Six, and it is easy to see why the Tigers have reached the sport’s highest collegiate stage because they are coached by one of the sport’s elite coaches – D-D Breaux. After taking the Tigers so close in the previous years, Breaux broke through into the six-team field for the first time in program history to compete for college gymnastics’ national championship in 2008. The Tigers finished fifth, beating out rival Alabama, for the best finish in program history since the current NCAA format was implemented in 1993. In 2009, LSU made a repeat trip to the Super Six to compete for the national title, and one day later Breaux coached senior Ashleigh Clare-Kearney to a school-record two individual national titles on vault and floor. As the “Dean of Coaches” at LSU, Breaux has represented the University at the highest level both in the gym and, most importantly, in the classroom for more than 30 years. Her dedication to the student-athlete on an individual basis has transcended into academic success, community involvement, Coach of the Year honors, SEC Championships, NCAA Regional Championships and top-10 national rankings throughout her tenure. Now entering season No. 33 as the mastermind of the LSU gymnastics program, the fire in Breaux’s eyes burns as brightly today as it did on her first day on the job.

During her tenure Breaux has established and maintained LSU’s reputation as one of the premier collegiate gymnastics programs in the country. Under her tutelage, the Tigers have placed among the nation’s top-10 teams 21 times in 32 seasons, finishing a program-best fourth in 1988, fifth in 2008 and sixth on four separate occasions – including last season. LSU has also placed among the top three in regional competition on 24 separate occasions, winning regional titles nine times in three different decades, including back-to-back firstplace regional finishes in 2008 and 2009. Her teams have included five national champions, 37 All-Americans with 91 All-America honors and 26 gymnasts with 42 All-SEC selections. Additionally, Breaux’s Tigers won the inaugural SEC Championship title in 1981 and have gone on to finish second four times and third five other times.

For her dedication to the sport and her teams’ numerous accomplishments, Breaux has been recognized by her peers time and time again. In the summer of 2009, Breaux received one of the highest honors as she was voted into the USA Gymnastics Region 8 Hall of Fame. She has been named the SEC Coach of the Year on five occasions (1993, 1994, 1995, 2000 and 2005), NCAA Central Regional Coach of the Year four times (1999, 2002, 2005 and 2006) and was a finalist for National Coach of the Year honors in 1988 when she guided the Tigers to a fourth-place finish at the NCAA Championships. To this day, the accolades continue to roll in for Breaux and LSU as the program has seemed to reach its zenith in recent years. In 2009, LSU produced a schoolrecord six All-Americans with a total of 10 All-America honors, highlighted by senior Ashleigh Clare-Kearney who

Maintaining Excellence What is so impressive about Breaux’s success at LSU is the level of consistency she has been able to uphold in the face of all the adversity she has handled over the years.

took home first-team honors on vault, bars and floor and followed that up by winning two national titles. For the first time in school history and only the fourth time in NCAA history, LSU had the first and second-place finishers in the vault event final as Clare-Kearney won the national title and junior Susan Jackson was runnerup after winning the title in 2008. Clare-Kearney and Jackson both earned All-SEC honors for the second-straight year as Clare-Kearney repeated as SEC Floor Champion and Jackson was SEC Beam Champion. Clare-Kearney was named NCAA Central Region Gymnast of the Year, and Jackson won the NCAA Central Regional All-Around title to lead the Tigers to the NCAA Championships. In 2008 under Breaux’s tutelage, Clare-Kearney and Jackson racked up numerous individual accolades. Jackson was the NCAA Champion on vault. She also was a first-team All-

Head Coach American in the all-around and on vault, beam and floor. Clare-Kearney -- also a first-team All-American on bars and floor -- was named the SEC Gymnast of the Year and also won the SEC AllAround title, the first Tiger gymnast to do so since 1991. LSU earned a total of seven All-America honors and produced two All-SEC selections. In all it has been a very productive decade for LSU gymnastics, as the Tigers have finished in the top 10 every year but one since 2000 with eight NCAA appearances. The Tigers also reached all the way to a No. 1 ranking in 2005 and boasted a school-record four first-team All-Americans in 2007 – the same year in which the legendary Breaux picked up career victory No. 500. Four of LSU’s five individual national championships have come since 2000, with Nicki Arnstad on floor in 2002, April Burkholder on beam in 2006, Susan Jackson on vault in 2008 and Ashleigh Clare-Kearney on vault and floor in 2009.

SEC Academic Honor Roll, an honor reserved for sophomores, juniors and seniors. In 1999, the Tigers posted the third-highest GPA in the nation and the highest of any team in the NCAA Championship field. Breaux’s team won the Tiger Award in 2008 given to the team with the most community service hours, the highest GPA and national placement in postseason competition. Also active members of the community, Breaux and her team continually participate in volunteer activities throughout the Baton Rouge area. From 2005-08 Breaux’s teams were awarded the LSU CHAMPS Community Service Award after logging hundreds of hours of community service work. Breaux, who has served as the Chairman of the YWCA’s Pink Ribbon Campaign for Breast Cancer, and her team have also volunteered their time to benefit the Muscular Dystrophy Association, St. Jude’s Hospital and the Alzheimer’s Association, among others. The Tigers’ coach also took on a

Behind Breaux The foundation for Breaux’s coaching career developed long before her arrival at LSU. An excellent athlete in her own right Breaux’s affiliation with the sport began at the club level where she was a nationally ranked gymnast by both the A.A.U. and the U.S.G.F. She was also a Junior Olympic National Champion that earned the S.A.A.U.’s Outstanding Gymnast award. By virtue of her accomplishments Breaux qualified as one of the top-15 athletes in the country to compete at the World Games Trials and was set to compete at the 1972 Olympic Trials before a career-ending knee injury forced her to retire. Breaux, a native of Donaldsonville, La., attended Southeastern Louisiana University where she competed for the Lady Lions gymnastics team for two seasons (1972-73) and helped SLU to a second-place finish at the 1972 AIAW Championships. Breaux then served as an assistant coach for the Lady Lions for three

seasons, where she also became a national level judge and served as the first state director for the Louisiana USA gymnastics program. She later transferred to LSU in 1976 where she earned both her bachelor’s and master’s degrees. Breaux is one of eight children and comes from a great family tradition. Her parents, brothers, sisters and their spouses and children have supported the program since the coach’s arrival at LSU. Breaux has two daughters, Jewel and Sara. Sara, her younger child, played soccer at LSU and earned her degree in May 2009. Jewel, Breaux’s older daughter, is also a graduate of LSU, a proud volunteer coach for the gymnastics team and provides color commentary on radio for away meets. Jewel is married to Beau Fourrier, and they are the proud parents of Breaux’s two grandsons, Porter Thomas – who is three years old – and Chase Hebert – who was born in Sept. 2009.

BREAUX’S YEAR-BY-YEAR RECORDS YEAR

An all-around coach Aside from athletic honors, Breaux excels in recruiting quality studentathletes. A Louisianan through and through, Breaux concentrates her recruiting efforts in her native state, but her reach extends to the national and international levels as well where she has been responsible for recruiting some of Canada’s top athletes of all time. Outside of the gym, Breaux has taken an active role in the academic success her program has achieved in her 30-plus seasons at LSU. By making academic success her team’s No. 1 priority, Breaux’s teams have reached the highest scholastic goals she has established over the years. Throughout the country, she is acknowledged as having one of the finest academic teams year in and year out. LSU gymnasts have been named Academic All-Americans 94 times and members of the SEC Academic Honor Roll on 127 occasions since 1991. During the 2003 season, a school-record 13 of Breaux’s student-athletes were named to the

new role in 2008 as the chair for LSU’s United Way campaign, and just recently she received the McMain’s Community Service Award from the McMain’s Children’s Development Center, a great honor for the coach. For the past two years, the Tigers have joined forces with Foundation56 – established by former LSU standout linebacker and current Dallas Cowboys defensive star, Bradie James. James’ mother, Etta, succumbed to breast cancer in February 2002. The Etta James Memorial Meet against Alabama in 2008 successfully raised $30,000 to promote breast cancer awareness in the Baton Rouge area, and the Second Annual Etta James Memorial Meet in 2009 against North Carolina State raised more than $50,000 for the organization to help fight the disease. It is this delicate balance between exceptional academics, athletic excellence and exemplary community service efforts that has allowed Breaux to keep her team at the top of the national scene year in and year out.

2010 LSU GYMNASTICS MEDIA GUIDE

A Hall of Fame Legacy When D-D Breaux took over a fledgling LSU gymnastics program in the fall of 1977 Breaux was only a graduate student at LSU who had a dream of coaching a small program into a national power. More than 30 years later Breaux has established LSU as one of the nation’s elite programs. For all her efforts in the sport of gymnastics, Breaux was honored by USA Gymnastics in the summer of 2009 by being inducted into the Region 8 Hall of Fame. The honor has only cemented Breaux’s legacy as she continues to provide her coaching prowess and influence on the sport of gymnastics, not only on the past and present student-athletes at LSU but also in the region and across the nation.

COLLEGE COACHING EXPERIENCE 2000-Present - Assistant Coach, LSU 1994-99 - Assistant Coach, Florida 1989-93 - Assistant Coach, Auburn

2009 NCAA Central Region Assistant Coach of the Year 2007 NCAA Central Region Assistant Coach of the Year 2005 NCAA Central Region Co-Assistant Coach of the Year For more than a decade, Bob Moore has consistently coached the Tigers to be one of the top vaulting lineups in the nation, and in the past two seasons he has shown his mastery of coaching the event. Moore coached Susan Jackson to the 2008 NCAA individual vault national title, and he followed that up by coaching Ashleigh Clare-Kearney to the 2009 NCAA vault title while Jackson was the runner up – giving LSU back-to-back national titles in the event. On top of that, Moore guided three Tigers to First Team All-America status on vault in 2009 – Clare-Kearney, Jackson and Staci Schwitkis. Recognized for his exceptional work, Moore was once again named the NCAA Central Region Assistant Coach of the Year in 2009, marking the third time he has received the distinguished award. Moore first earned the award in 2005, sharing it with fellow LSU assistant Philip Ogletree, and Moore also received the award in 2007. A longtime Southeastern Conference assistant, Moore begins his 11th season with the LSU gymnastics program, and his presence has been undeniable. He has helped the Tigers maintain their status as one of the nation’s premier programs. Moore’s primary responsibility with the Tigers is the vault where the team has flourished under his watch as the team has finished in the top five of the national rankings in the event the past three seasons – including second-place rankings in 2007 and 2008. In his 10 seasons at LSU, Moore has tutored his athletes to 11 All-America honors – including Clare-Kearney, Jackson and Schwitkis’ first-team honors in 2009 – and two national titles and a national runner up. In fact, LSU’s one-two finish on vault in 2009 marked only the fourth time in NCAA history that two gymnasts from the same team finished first and second in the vault national finals. As well as strengthening the Tigers on the vault, Moore plays a significant role with LSU’s Bengal Gymnastics program, a highly successful youth age group program that practices in the Tigers’ gymnastics training facility. “Bob provides us with experience at the highest level, not only within the SEC, but the NCAA,” said Breaux. “He knows exactly how tough this conference is and what it takes to take a program like ours to the next level.” Moore’s expertise was fine tuned at two other SEC programs. Before joining the Tigers, Moore spent six years at the University of Florida where he served as the program’s top assistant. To his credit, Moore coached two national champions on the vault, in addition to numerous All-Americans and SEC champions. And prior to his stint in Gainesville, Moore coached for five seasons as an assistant at Auburn. A native of Birmingham, Ala., Moore graduated from Samford University in 1976 with a degree in general studies with an emphasis in music. Bob is married to Sandra Ballard and “Pops” and “Momme” are the proud grandparents to Isabella, Sophia and David.

Philip Ogletree 10th Season • Georgia State, 1992

COLLEGE COACHING EXPERIENCE 2001-Present - Assistant Coach, LSU

2005 NCAA Central Region Co-Assistant Coach of the Year 2004 NCAA Central Region Assistant Coach of the Year As Philip Ogletree begins his 10th season as an assistant coach with the LSU gymnastics program it is obvious the role he has played in the Tigers’ continued success. Working primarily with the Tigers on uneven bars, Ogletree has guided LSU to 12 of the top 13 bar scores in school history, including a school-record 49.650 in 2002. In fact, under Ogletree’s guidance the Tigers posted two of the top 10 scores in school history on bars in 2009 as LSU scored a 49.500 against UNC/ Illinois-Chicago and a 49.450 versus North Carolina State. Ogletree has coached LSU to a top 10 team ranking on bars for six straight seasons, including a No. 4 ranking in 2009. Individually, Ogletree’s athletes have flourished under his watch, earning 12 All-America honors on the bars, including a school record three athletes - April Burkholder, Annie Gagnon and Lisa Rennie - in 2005. He produced two more in 2009 as Ashleigh Clare-Kearney and Summer Hubbard were both First Team AllAmericans for the second straight year. In addition, Ogletree helped Sharene Mamby to a rare 10.0 on the bars during the 2001 season. The performance marked just the second perfect score on the event in school history. For his efforts, Ogletree has been recognized by his peers on several occasions, as he was named the NCAA Central Region Assistant Coach of the Year in 2004 and then shared that same honor a year later with fellow assistant Bob Moore. “Philip does a tremendous job for us,” said Breaux. “He is an asset to our staff, both as a coach and an administrator. Our team and staff blend well with Philip in the mix.” Not only has Ogletree provided outstanding coaching on bars, but he also serves as recruiting coordinator for LSU and has helped the Tigers maintain their status as one of the elite programs in the nation. Ogletree came to LSU after spending the previous season at the Georgia Gymnastics Academy. He arrived at LSU with 18 years of coaching experience, including 11 with Level 10 gymnasts in Georgia. While his stop at LSU was his first collegiate stop, he was no stranger to LSU Athletics. During his time at the Atlanta School of Gymnastics, he tutored future LSU greats Abbey Burns and Kim and Kerry Descalopoulis, all natives of Georgia. During his time in the state of Georgia, he coached six Level 10 national champions on the floor exercise and helped place five athletes on the Level 10 Junior Olympic national team. Ogletree has also coached at the American Classic and U.S. Classic national meets. In his time as an athlete, Ogletree was a gymnast at the University of Georgia from 1980-82. He later graduated from Georgia State with a Bachelor of Science degree in education in 1992. Ogletree is married to the former Jill Hickok. The couple has two children, Bridgette, 16, and Jake, 14.

James’ mother, Etta, passed away from breast cancer in 2002. The second-largest crowd in school history – 6,170 people – attended the meet to cheer on the Tigers and support breast cancer awareness.

TWO TIGERS EARN GYMNAST OF THE WEEK HONORS Ashleigh Clare-Kearney and Susan Jackson both received SEC Gymnast of the Week honors for outstanding performances during the season. Clare-Kearney earned the honor for the sixth time in her career with a 39.625 all-around mark and a 9.975 on floor to seal LSU’s victory over Florida. Jackson earned her first SEC Gymnast of the Week honor with a spectacular, career-high 39.700 allaround performance against North Carolina State. She scored a 9.90 or higher on all four events, including a career-best 9.95 on beam.

JOHNSON IS SEC FRESHMAN OF THE WEEK TWICE

Summer Hubbard finished the season ranked No. 25 nationally on beam, and she proved her skill in the event all season long. Hubbard earned three 9.90 scores in the event, and she also picked up four scores of 9.80 or higher as well. In all, Hubbard picked up four individual titles on beam in 2009.

Gloria Johnson earned back-to-back SEC Freshman of the Week honors on Feb. 17 and Feb. 24. Johnson led LSU to a huge win at Alabama on Feb. 17 as she scored a 9.825 on vault and beam to help seal the victory. A week later she had her best meet as a Tiger when she posted a 9.90 on vault and floor and also scored a 9.80 on beam against North Carolina and Illinois-Chicago.

THREE TIGERS EARN ACADEMIC ALLAMERICA HONORS

A WIN FOR THE AGES

LSU not only competed hard in the gym in 2009, but the Tigers also worked hard in the classroom as three Tigers earned Academic All-America honors from the NACGC/W. Ashleigh Clare-Kearney, Lauren Klein and Amanda Morales earned the distinction. It marked the fourth-straight year that Klein and Morales were recognized as scholar-athletes, while ClareKearney picked up her second-straight honor.

LSU captured a historic win by beating Alabama in Tuscaloosa, 196.625-195.750, on Feb. 13. It marked only the second time in the 35 years of the program’s history that LSU beat Alabama in its home arena. The first victory at Alabama came back in 1976, two seasons before head coach D-D Breaux took over the program, so the win last season marked the first time in Breaux’s career that she has defeated the Crimson Tide on the Capstone.

HOME MEET ATTENDANCE AMONG NATION’S BEST For the second-straight season LSU finished No. 6 in the attendance rankings in 2009. It marked the sixth-consecutive year that LSU ranked among the nation’s top 10 in home attendance figures. A home opener record crowd of 4,369 saw LSU take on Georgia, and that total ranks fourth in school history. In the Second Annual Etta James Memorial Meet, 6,170 fans came out to see LSU dominate North Carolina State 197.150-195.725. The total was the second-largest crowd in school history behind the first Etta James Memorial Meet that saw 7,717 fans cheer on the Tigers against Alabama in 2008.

CLARE-KEARNEY HONORED FOR COMMUNITY SERVICE WORK Ashleigh Clare-Kearney was chosen to the SEC Community Service Team for the second-straight season. The Community Service Team looks to highlight an athlete from each SEC school who gives back to their community in superior service efforts.

2008 NCAA Champion – Vault

LSU INTRO THIS IS LSU PREVIEW TIGERS COACHES REVIEW HISTORY RECORDS

Susan Jackson followed up her stellar performance in the team competition at the 2008 NCAAs by claiming an individual title of her own on vault in the individual event finals. It was the fourth individual title for LSU and the first ever on vault. Entering her senior season, Jackson already has eight AllAmerica honors on her resume in addition to the NCAA title. She also is a two-time All-SEC gymnast and won a share of the SEC Vault title in 2008.
