2015 ALASKA ANCHORAGE SEASON PREVIEW

2015 ALASKA ANCHORAGE GYMNASTICS

ith a sparkling new training and competition facility and the Seawolves’ most veteran squad in several seasons, Alaska Anchorage gymnastics fans have good reason for optimism entering the 2015 campaign and beyond. The Seawolves return 10 letterwinners and one redshirt from last year’s team -- including three former NCAA Regional qualifiers -- along with four talented freshmen to compose the roster. “We have been dependent on a heavy contribution from freshmen the last two years but now we have a proven bunch of returners who can put up quality scores and take the pressure off the young ones,” said UAA head coach Paul Stoklos, who has piloted the program through its 31-year existence. The team’s only senior and 4th-year competitor is co-captain Morgan Cook, who has 16 career all-arounds to her credit. The 2012 NCAA Regional qualifier put up a 38.025 average last year to lead the team. Meanwhile, five accomplished juniors will take the floor, including former NCAA qualifiers M’rcy Matsunami (2013) and Stefany Bryan (2014). Matsunami delivered a record-setting freshman campaign before struggling with injuries last season, but the Nebraskan is healthy again and poised to top her careerhigh of 38.750. Bryan, a Seattle native, was All-MPSF on bars and all-around last year and carries a career-high of 38.475. The Seawolves’ European duo of juniors Marie-Sophie Boggasch (Germany) and Simone Penker (Austria) is also back and stronger than ever, with Penker having competed for her national team at the 2014 World Championships in China in October. Boggasch brings career-highs of 9.875 on vault and 9.725 on bars. They will be joined by the newly wed Sariaye (Jensen) Fishburn, who is coming off a redhirt season and looks to push for time on floor and vault. After being baptized by fire as rookies, this year’s sophomore class is ready to make another giant leap, led by team co-captiain Nicole Larkin. A capable allarounder, the Kennewick, Wash., product is especially skilled on bars, averaging 9.537 in 2014. UAA should also get valuable contributions from fellow West Coast natives Kelsy Konkright (Yakima, Wash.), Brice Mizell (Mill City, Ore.), and Julia York (Mission Viejo, Calif.), who both excelled on vault and floor last year. York was

M’rcy Matsunami an All-MPSF performer on vault with a team-best 9.645 regional qualifying score. Kallie Randolph, the team’s only local product (Polaris K-12/Anchorage Gym. Assoc.), was a standout on floor exercise as a rookie, earning All-MPSF honors and ranking No. 5 all-time at UAA with a 9.682 average. The freshmen bring a wide variety of skills and are ready to contribute primarily as specialists. Stoklos says Oregon native Kendra Daniels is already one of the team’s top balance beam performers, while Canadian Madeleine Arbuckle

(Winnipeg, Maniotba) has shown good skills on vault and beam. Minnesotan Emily Ramberg will push for time on three events -- vault, beam and floor -- and Nevada native Morgan Ross will try to crack the lineup on vault and floor. Along with home meets against Winona State and Centenary, the Seawolves will open their new home at the Alaska Airlines Center by hosting the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Championships for the first time, Mar. 21.

Stoklos has overseen UAA’s transition from Division II to Division I over the past decade, boosting the team’s talent to its highest level ever. The 20 best team scores in program history have all come since 2004, including eight of the top nine marks since 2008. In 2009, Stoklos’ squad won its first-ever conference title when it captured the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Championships in Colorado Springs. Individually, Stoklos has qualified 14 Seawolf gymnasts to the NCAA West Regional all-around competition – including current squad members M’rcy Matsunami and Stefany Bryan – and THE STOKLOS FILE produced nine MPSF Hometown: Brookfield, Wis. event titlists.

Success in recent seasons has come from a continued refinement of the UAA program. At the end of each season, Stoklos and his squad make adjustments to the training process which allows them to improve both in the gym and in the classroom. Team performance is important to Stoklos, who wants his gymnasts to think of their routines in terms of an overall team effort. Topping his list of student-athlete priorities, however, is academics, evidenced by the fact that his team consistently produces All-American Scholar certificates. Prior to coming to UAA, Stoklos served as a coach as an undergraduate and graduate assistant at the University of Arizona for seven years. He helped bring a fledgling gymnastics program from ground level to a national ranking in just four years. Stoklos was an excellent athlete in his own right, earning varsity letters in football, track and gymnastics in high school. He was a competitive skydiver at Arizona where he earned his bachelor’s degree in 1981. An avid and experienced downhill and cross-country skier, Stoklos is a member of the Mt. Alyeska Ski Patrol during the winter months. He enjoys hiking, fishing, scuba diving, skydiving and is a rated private airplane pilot. Stoklos is also a longtime member of the Alaska Search and Rescue Dogs.

SEAWOLF MASCOT / MOUNTAIN PACIFIC SPORTS FEDERATION

2015 ALASKA ANCHORAGE GYMNASTICS

he Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) was established in 1992 to serve the competitive needs of member institutions from the Big West, Pacific-10, Mountain West, Western Athletic and West Coast Conferences and other selected colleges and universities in the western United States, providing championship competition for Division I intercollegiate Olympic sports in a conference setting. In women’s gymnastics, the league expanded back to six institutions in 2014 as former members Sacramento State and San Jose State rejoined Air Force, Alaska Anchorage, UC Davis and Seattle Pacific. The MPSF was originally formed to provide enhanced competition and championship opportunities for sports without conference affiliation, to contain the costs of competition, and to ensure the survival of sports impacted by Title IX and other fiscal pressures. It has also served as an incubator for emerging women’s sports and a safe harbor for sports impacted by conference realignments. In 2014-15, the Federation is celebrating its 23rd year of competition, and today the MPSF is more relevant than at any other time since its inception. This year the MPSF will again provide competition in 10 Olympic sports while serving 93 teams from 38 universities in nine western states. All MPSF teams compete at the NCAA Division I level in men’s and women’s water polo, men’s and women’s indoor track and field, men’s and women’s gymnastics, men’s and women’s swimming and diving, women’s lacrosse, and men’s volleyball. MPSF team champions are eligible to compete in the NCAA Championships with men’s and women’s water polo, men’s volleyball, and women’s lacrosse champions earning automatic qualification. In 2013-14, MPSF teams won four NCAA team championship titles, extending the streak to 10 straight years achieving such a feat. USC men’s water polo, Stanford women’s water polo, and Oregon men’s and women’s indoor track & field brought the MPSF’s total to 76 NCAA titles since the first season of competition in 1992-93.

THE SEAWOLF

n the Seawolf, the University of Alaska Anchorage has one of the more unique mascots in collegiate sports. Originally nicknamed the Sourdoughs, UAA adopted the Seawolf moniker in 1977. The name Seawolf represents a mythical sea creature. According to the legend of the Seawolf, anyone fortunate enough to view it was subject to good luck. The exact nature or shape of the Seawolf, however, was left to the imagination and thus the creature has been depicted in many forms throughout the years. The Seawolf of today was introduced in 1985. Created by the Clark Mishler & Associates Company of Anchorage in cooperation with a University committee, it represents an adaptation of a more traditional Alaska totemic-like characterization of the mythical Seawolf.

The State of Alaska A

laska is the largest state in the union — one-fifth the size of the contiguous 48 states and more than twice the size of the second largest state, Texas. Although Minnesota is called the Land of 10,000 Lakes, Alaska holds the real title in that department with more than three million lakes. Alaska also boasts 39 different mountain ranges, three of which can be seen from Anchorage, and an estimated 100,000 glaciers. The 49th State is home to Denali, the highest peak in North America (20,320 feet). Also known as Mt. McKinley, the collosal mountain is located in the heart of Denali National Park and Preserve, located 200 miles north of Anchorage, and can be seen from the city on clear days.
