JASON HEAD COACH SEVENTH SEASON

32

GYMNASTICS

Butts

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 78-52-1 (.599) career record with the Mountaineers. He has led WVU to five appearances at the NCAA Regional Championships and a program best, second-place showing at the 2015 Big 12 Gymnastics Championship.

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

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 sophomore Kirah Koshinski placed second on floor with a 9.925 mark.

Muhammad finished eighth on floor exercise in the second semifinal session at the 2017 NCAA National Championships, scoring a program NCAA record 9.9125 and earning All-America Second Team accolades. She became the first Mountaineer since 2007 to earn All-America honors at the NCAA National Championships. Additionally, Muhammad scored 9.8 on bars, matching the program’s championship record.

Koshinski also was named to the NACGC/W All-America Second Team for the second straight season, giving WVU two All-Americans in one season for the second time in program history and the first time since 1994. Koshinski also earned her second career All-Big 12 Gymnastics Vault Team accolade.

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

Academically, the Mountaineers set a new standard in the classroom, as a program-record matching 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 grade point average (GPA) of 3.4935. Additionally, a program-best seven gymnasts earned Academic All-Big 12 Gymnastics Team accolades.

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

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

The Mountaineers put together a solid list of “firsts” in Butts’ fifth season, including scoring 196.0 or better in back-to-back meets for the first time since 2013 and earning their first national ranking since March 18, 2013 (No. 22 in the Jan. 25 Road to Nationals Rankings).

Additionally, Koshinski earned the program’s first regular season All-America honor, as she was named to the NACGC/W All-America Second Team. Koshinski also claimed the Big 12 Newcomer of the Year honor, the first major Big 12 postseason award for a Mountaineer gymnast. A five-time Big 12 Newcomer of the Week honoree, she also was named to the All-Big 12 Gymnastics Vault Team and the All-Big 12 Championship Team.

Eight gymnasts were named Scholastic All-Americans by the NACGC/W. The accolades were the most for the program since 2011. Additionally, a conference-best seven gymnasts landed on the Academic All-Big 12 Gymnastics Team. The honors matched a program record, hit for the third straight season.

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

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

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

Butts also saw his team excel in the classroom in 2015. Jaida Lawrence was named the Big 12 Scholar-Athlete of the Year, the program’s first honoree. Additionally, six gymnasts

earned NACGC/W Scholastic All-America honors, seven garnered Academic All-Big 12 Team recognitions and two were named to the Academic All-Big 12 Rookie Team.

Butts returned the program to the national stage in his third season, as Hope Sloanhoffer qualified for the NCAA National Championships in the 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 Conference all-around crown, WVU gymnastics’ first Big 12 title.

As a team, the Mountaineers finished with a 6-11 (0-4 Big 12) overall mark and a third-place showing at the Big 12 Gymnastics Championship, the first conference championship hosted in Morgantown since WVU joined the Big 12 in 2012. The squad scored a programand season-best 196.375 at the championship. Sloanhoffer finished with two All-Big 12 Championship Team honors (all-around, floor), while Haley (all-around) and Beth Deal (balance beam) each earned one, quadrupling the program’s honors from 2013. Sloanhoffer, Deal (balance beam), Goldberg (uneven bars) and Nicolette Swoboda (all-around) all individually qualified for the Athens Regional.

The Mountaineers also showed improvement in the classroom in 2014, as seven gymnasts were named Scholastic All-Americans, an increase from five in 2013.

Additionally, seven garnered Academic All-Big 12 Gymnastics Team recognition, also an increase from five in 2013.

In just his second season at the helm, Butts ushered in a new era for WVU gymnastics in 2013, as the Mountaineers joined perennial powerhouse Oklahoma and Iowa State in the Big 12 Conference. The team made a name for itself in its new home, as the squad scored 196.0 or better in every home meet, a feat never before achieved in program history, and finished the year at 13-9 (1-3 Big 12). WVU spent six weeks in the GymInfo Poll, peaking at No. 16, and finished third in its first Big 12 Gymnastics Championship. The team also qualified for its 35th NCAA Regional Championships and placed fifth in front of a WVU Coliseum crowd.

Included in 2013’s five 196.0+ performances was a season-best 196.55 mark in a loss to then-No. 3 Michigan (196.925) and wins over New Hampshire (194.875) and Towson (193.15) at the Coliseum on Feb. 24. The Mountaineers’ score was the 10th-best mark in program history. WVU earned its first Big 12 Conference victory with a 196.15-194.825 win over ISU at the Coliseum on Feb. 10 in front of 2,522 fans, the sixth-largest crowd to attend a home WVU gymnastics meet. In total, WVU competed in front of three home crowds of 1,800 or better, including the team’s Big 12 opener against Oklahoma on Feb. 1, which drew a crowd of 1,881, the 11th-best mark in program history.

Lawrence earned the program’s first All-Big 12 honor, as she was named to the vault team, while Kaylyn Millick earned a spot on the All-Big 12 Championship Team for her second place all-around finish. Additionally, three gymnasts earned a combined six Big 12 weekly awards, five student-athletes were named to the 2013 Academic All-Big 12 Gymnastics Team and each of the team’s freshmen was named to the Academic All-Big 12 Rookie Team.

At season’s end, the Mountaineers were nationally ranked No. 21 on vault, No. 21 on beam and No. 26 on floor; WVU was ranked in the top 25 on vault each week of 2013. Millick ranked No. 27 in the all-around, 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 season-ending ranking since 2009.

WVU concluded the year with a 5-4 mark against ranked teams and earned wins against No. 8 Arkansas, No. 13 Auburn and No. 13 Missouri.

Making good on a promise he gave the team when he was hired, Butts also led the Mountaineers to their league-best seventh East Atlantic Gymnastics League (EAGL) title on March 24, 2012. Sloanhoffer, the EAGL Gymnast of the Year, captured the vault, bars and all-around titles, while Deal secured the balance beam victory. WVU tallied a season-best

196.475 score in its win and set three season-best scores on vault (49.25), bars (49.175) and floor (49.2).

Prior to the championship, seven Mountaineers earned 15 All-EAGL honors, including four first-team awards for Sloanhoffer. She ranked No. 1 in the league in the all-around every week of the season.

Following its seven wins at the EAGL Championship, WVU qualified for its 34th regional championship appearance as the No. 5 seed in the Auburn regional. Entering regional competition, WVU ranked nationally on vault and floor and owned the league’s top ranking on each event. Additionally, the squad ranked No. 2 on bars and beam.

Butts also helped Chelsi Tabor attain the second-best EAGL vault RQS of 9.855. The mark ranked 10th in the region and 47th nationally.

The Mountaineers finished ranked first on floor and second on bars and vault in the EAGL in 2009; they were nationally ranked 17th and 21st on vault and bars, respectively.

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.

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.

A two-time (2009-10) Southeast Region Assistant Coach of the Year, Butts spent five seasons coaching the Mountaineers’ vault, floor and bars lineups under coach Linda Burdette-Good, who announced her retirement after 37 years of leading the Mountaineers in 2011. He helped those three lineups become dominant in the EAGL, as eight Mountaineers earned 19 first team all-league honors in the three events under his tutelage.

Three additional Mountaineers won EAGL titles in 2009 – Tabor (vault), Tina Maloney (vault) and Shelly Purkat (beam).

As the primary bars coach, Butts produced three EAGL individual bars champions, including 2011 outright winner Amy Bieski. He also guided Mehgan Morris to back-to-back wins in 2008 and 2009. Additionally, he helped mentor Janáe Cox (2007) and Morris (2009) to individual all-around NCAA Championships qualifications and coached Cox to 2007 first team All-America honors on floor.

In his five seasons as an assistant, the Mountaineers produced a 98-44 record, competed at five straight NCAA Regional Championships and claimed the 2008 EAGL Championship.

Additionally, Butts coached nine EAGL individual champions, two EAGL Gymnasts of the Year and 57 All-EAGL honorees.

Though the bars lineup shuffled throughout the 2011 season, Butts’ unit produced an overall season average of 48.406. Emily Kerwin ended the year ranked No. 6 in the EAGL, No. 13 in the 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 ranking, respectively. The units also were nationally ranked No. 17 and No. 21, respectively.

Under his supervision, Sloanhoffer, a nine-time EAGL weekly award winner, was ranked No. 1 in the league, No. 6 in the region and No. 37 in the nation on vault (9.865 RQS) and earned three 9.9-plus vault scores on the season.

Butts was faced with the challenge of filling holes in the bars lineup in 2010, as key contributors were hit with injuries. Under his guidance, the Mountaineers rose to the challenge and finished the season ranked second in the EAGL and fourth in the Southeast region. Additionally, he guided Bieski and Roach to the No. 8 league ranking with matching 9.79 RQS.

GYMNASTICS

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 secondteam selection in her rookie season.

Butts saw his bars lineup vastly improve through his first season at WVU. After early season struggles, the group came together down the stretch to have the EAGL’s top bars RQS and a score that ranked 23rd in the country by season’s end.

WVU placed second at the EAGL Championship on the uneven bars after posting a 48.85.

Butts guided Cox and Morris to All-EAGL First Team selections in 2007. Morris posted four 9.9s that season under Butts and averaged an impressive 9.85 in 13 meets to rank atop the league’s individual rankings. Morris would go on to place seventh in the NCAA Southeast Regional Championships.

The Athens, Georgia, native brought 12 years of club coaching experience to WVU, most recently from Classic City Gymnastics, where he trained men and women from 2001-06.

He guided the women and men to Junior Olympic Nationals during that stretch, as well as sending athletes to the Region 8 Championships, while also assisting numerous gymnasts in earning Division I athletic scholarships in the process.

Butts worked at the Woodward Camp (1994-96) 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.

Q&A WITH THE WVU

Not only will the team compete away from Morgantown a lot this season, but you also will face tough competition, including trips to all three Big 12 Conference opponents – No. 1-ranked and two-time defending National Champion Oklahoma, No. 8 Denver and Iowa State. How do you expect the gymnasts to handle these challenges?

Gymnastics

Butts: I don’t think any of that registers with this team. They understand who they’ll be competing against, and they know the rankings, but this team never really pays attention to its competition.

We’re just focused on our gymnastics and what is in front of us because that is all we can control.

COACHING STAFF

Doak: This team has a lot of different personalities that work well together. Everyone is competitive.

You can read that competitive nature on some of their faces; there are others who are quieter.

They’re all competitors, though, and when it’s time to go, they’re going to give you a better version than they did in practice. This group always tends to step up under stress. This team has a lot of pride and will want to match a higher-ranked team routine-for-routine. I think they’re going to do great against the tough competition.

The coaching staff underwent a change during the offseason, as Shea Anderson came on board as an assistant coach and Caleigh Shaffer joined as a graduate assistant. Additionally, Alexa Goldberg is serving as a volunteer assistant.

How are you all working as a unit?

Butts: I feel like we’ve been a staff for five years already. Shea came in and clicked immediately with the team, in the office and on the recruiting trail. She brought so much knowledge with her from Eastern Michigan and her time in the sport as a gymnast at Iowa State. She has changed a lot of the ways we do things, and I like that.

Assistant coach SheaANDERSON joins WVU in 2018.

The team ended the 2017 season on such a high note – two All-Americans in Zaakira Muhammad and Kirah Koshinski, a presence at the NCAA Championships and a program-best score of 196.325 at the NCAA Morgantown Regional Championships. How do you maintain that momentum and build off it in 2018?

Associate Head Coach Travis Doak: I think we realized at the regional championships how close we are to taking this program to the next level with a bid to the national championships. Now, everything comes down to the detail work.

We’ve always been viewed as a ‘power’ program – it was assumed our vault and floor lineups would carry the team. We scored 49.35 on bars at last year’s regional championships, and we learned we can be special on bars and beam, too. We need to work as a team and as a staff to make sure that our bars and beam lineups are performing at the same level as our vault and floor lineups right out of the gate. We’re really looking to finetune and make sure our baseline on an event like beam is a 9.8. That motivates me.

On bars, we’ve been catching releases all throughout preseason. With that situated, we’ve been looking to finetune – fix the breaks on handstands and such. Moving forward, that’s what I want us to do – find those three-tenths that kept us out of the national championships last year. That’s something that is attainable.

The team is buying into it completely – they’re such a good group.

Head Coach Jason Butts: Our preseason progressed just like last year’s. We are producing great gymnastics in a laidback atmosphere. I don’t want us to become a whole different program just to gain those three-tenths. We will gain those points with the upgraded difficulty we have coming into the program. I want our attitude to be the same; we just have to come out of the gate strong those first three weeks of the season at the WVU Coliseum. If we can hit a high 195.0 or a 196.0 early, I think that will snowball and get bigger.

The 2018 schedule is setup a bit differently than schedules in recent years. The team opens the season with three straight meets at the WVU Coliseum in January before hitting the road for three road meets. Additionally, the team’s final home meet is February 18. How will your squad handle such a travel-heavy slate?

Butts: This year’s schedule is unique, and we have to take advantage of it. We’re at home early this year, and that will give us a chance to work out some of the wrinkles without traveling and being tired.

We do have a tiresome travel schedule ahead of us, but hopefully by the time we hit the meat of our schedule, the gymnastics is there and ready.

We’re looking forward to taking our program on the road and showing off our hard work.

WVUGymnastics

Doak: I’m really excited. It has taken this staff many years to get a group of high-level athletes into the program. We have the talent now, and I think we’re a staff who can maximize their talents.

If we, as a staff, come organized each day, I think we can really move this program forward.

We have such a good mentality inside Cary Gym and within this coaching staff. We laugh every day.

It’s a good comradery. Now, it’s just implementing our system and building on it. We didn’t lose too much from last season. Our sophomore class is stronger after its first season, and we get junior Jaquie Tun back for a full year. We can grow a ton this season. In the gym, and outside the gym, the personalities of the team and the coaching staff have to click, and they do.

The return of Muhammad and Koshinski in 2018 marks the first time in program history two All-Americans will be on the same roster.

How does their success in recent seasons encourage their teammates?

Butts: If we could qualify this team through to the national championships, I think we could double the program’s All-America count. I think Zaakira and Kirah are proof of the Mountaineer ability. We’ve had strong recruiting, and the student-athletes have shown a strong ability to pay attention to events surrounding them. They realize that more than half of this team can attain All-America honors. We have score potential on every event.

Doak: Last season, I challenged Zaakira to upgrade her difficulty. She did, and now she is an All-American. I think her teammates saw her hard work get rewarded, and now they also are upgrading their difficulty. They know it’s attainable if they one-up their base routines.

They are no longer nervous to go above their base level. They take initiative now and are more open-minded to try skills outside of their comfort zones. That all circles back to Zaakira and Kirah’s achievements.

The coaching staff was very excited and encouraged by the success of the 2017 freshman class – Chloe Cluchey, Kassidy Cumber, Erica Fontaine, Abby Kaufman and Julia Merwin. What are you expecting from this group now that they have a year of experience?

Assistant coach Shea Anderson: We’re able to work those upgrades because of how good training was in preseason. We have those baselevel skills, and they’re ready for routines, but they’re ready to train upgraded skills, too.

Doak: That class proves that this program, if not this year, will be at the NCAA National Championships soon. I can’t speak enough about them. They’re setting the new standard for this program, but they don’t know they’re doing it.

Three gymnasts comprise your senior class – Robyn Bernard, Jordan Gillette and Muhammad. Will you be relying on this trio to lead this team in 2018?

Butts: They are three very different people, but I think they pick up well for each other. They rely on each other’s strengths. I’ve been happy with their leadership.

I’ve been happy with our juniors’ leadership, too.

Even though she can’t compete this season, Tiara (Wright) has been walking around the gym and cheering her teammates on. Kirah cheers for everyone – she has matured so much. Carly (Galpin) is just consistent – she leads this team by example. She comes into the gym and works hard every day, and that’s what she expects from her teammates. Jaquie has come back from injury and is willing to upgrade her skills this season. There are four very different leaders within the junior class, too.

Doak: This team is just as loud, if not louder, in a strength workout as it is in Cary Gym. They are a very united group. They encourage each other through all difficulties.

Doak: They’re fantastic!

Anderson: That class is great!

Three gymnasts join the program this season in freshmen McKenna Linnen, Sydney Marler and Michelle Waldron. What are your hopes for this class?

Doak: This is a good group, too. This class will provide a lot of needed depth to our lineups. I really like the potential that surrounds this group.

Butts: Because we have such a great group of returning gymnasts, we have time to work with this freshman class. We can learn what makes them click and the best way to construct their routines. We are learning what they want to do and what they are willing to do.

How would you describe the team’s energy level on meet day?

Butts: They’re crazy, especially when we compete at the WVU Coliseum. They love competing in front of the home crowd. I’m excited to open the 2018 season on a Friday night in Morgantown. We compete against No. 2-ranked Florida on Jan. 5, at 7 p.m., inside the WVU Coliseum, and that is really going to get this team pumped up. Following that meet with two more home competitions will just put this team in the right mindset.

Our meets are shows for our fans. We let our energy roll from one event to the next, and I love it.

Doak: I think it’s nice for Mountaineer Nation to watch and cheer for a genuinely nice, fun group of athletes. Fans can come to the WVU Coliseum and watch a cohesive, supportive group who cheers for each other. I think it’s exciting for spectators to come to our meets and have fun.

The support staff really does a fantastic job of putting on a great show.

Butts: We travel the country each year, and I honestly believe we have one of the best homemeet atmospheres. That says a lot.

Academically, the 2017 season was one of the program’s strongest. A programrecord 10 gymnasts were named Scholastic All-Americans by the NACGC/W, and WVU ranked No. 25 nationally and tops among Big 12 schools with a team grade point average (GPA) of 3.4935. How do your studentathletes balance their gymnastics and school commitments?

Butts: We have a great academic coordinator in Emily Patton – she really guides the studentathletes toward success. I like to make sure I’m observing as much as I can, too. I like to encourage the gymnasts. I trust the academic staff to do its job.

Doak: I think a lot of the team’s success is attributed to Jason’s leadership style. He assigns a lot of accountability to his staff and the studentathletes, and he trusts everyone to do the right thing. I think that’s a lot more motivating. He wants everyone to make the right choices. I think that’s why we’re having continued success academically. Additionally, the resources the University provides are instrumental. There are no excuses for this team to not succeed, and our gymnasts understand that.

Butts: I like to lead with the carrot. Once I give someone a responsibility, I trust them to do it.

It works.

The Mountaineer coaching staff is excited about the return of the 2018 sophomore class, featuring ChloeCLUCHEY.

TRAVIS ASSOCIATE HEAD COACH TENTH SEASON

Travis Doak enters his 10th year at his alma mater and his fourth as the team’s associate head coach. He is responsible for coaching vault, beam and floor.

He also oversees the Mountaineers’ recruiting efforts.

Since Doak joined the staff in 2009, WVU has made eight total NCAA Regional Championship appearances, earned one conference title and compiled an overall record of 125-79-1 (.612).

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

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

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

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

Doak

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

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

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

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

Doak’s seventh season with the Mountaineers saw WVU finish fifth at the 2015 NCAA Morgantown Regional Championships with a 195.65 score, the program’s third-best showing at a regional championships. The Mountaineers tallied 49.225 on beam, the team’s best-ever score on the event at a regional.

WVU also finished a program-best second at the Big 12 Gymnastics Championship, scoring 195.025. Dayah Haley earned her second straight AllBig 12 Championship Team honor with a second-place finish in the all-around.

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

WVU finished the year with a 14-9-1 (1-1-1 Big 12) overall record. The squad also ranked No. 28 in the final GymInfo Poll.

Doak helped guide Hope Sloanhoffer to the NCAA National Championships in 2014, as she individually qualified in the all-around. She was the first Mountaineer to qualify since 2009, Doak’s first season as an assistant, and the

18th in program history. Sloanhoffer qualified after finishing second in the allaround and first on beam at the 2014 NCAA Athens Regional Championships.

WVU posted its best score at the Big 12 Gymnastics Championship in 2014, tallying 196.375 and finishing in third place. Three Mountaineers earned four All-Big 12 Championship Team honors, and Sloanhoffer finished first in the allaround with a 39.425 score, the program’s first Big 12 title. The squad finished the season with a 6-11 (0-4 Big 12) mark. Sloanhoffer (all-around), Beth Deal (balance beam), Goldberg (uneven bars) and Nicolette Swoboda (all-around) individually qualified for the Athens Regional.

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

Doak’s assistantship was evident in 2013, as he helped guide the Mountaineers through their first season in the Big 12 Conference. WVU went 196.0 or better in every home meet, a feat never before achieved in program history, and finished the year at 13-9 (1-3 Big 12). The Mountaineers were nationally ranked six times in the GymInfo Poll and peaked at No. 16. The squad finished third at its first Big 12 Gymnastics Championship and qualified for its 35th NCAA Regional appearance.

Doak was integral in the success of the Mountaineers’ vault and floor lineup in 2013, as both units were nationally ranked every week but one. Jaida Lawrence concluded the year nationally ranked No. 43 on vault, and Alaska Richardson ranked No. 48 on floor. Additionally, he helped lead Kaylyn Millick and Sloanhoffer to respective No. 27 and No. 42 all-around rankings.

Lawrence earned the program’s first All-Big 12 honor, as she was named to the vault team, while Millick earned a spot on the All-Big 12 Championship Team for her second-place finish in the all-around.

Under Doak, the Mountaineers have secured 52 all-conference honors, including 30 All-EAGL First Team awards, two gymnasts of the year distinctions and two outstanding senior gymnast nods.

Doak played a major role in 2012, helping the Mountaineers transition under first-year coach Jason Butts and parlay the change into instant success.

In addition to the Mountaineers’ league-best seventh EAGL title, the team’s first since 2008, WVU advanced to the NCAA Auburn Regional Championships as the No. 5 seed and finished in fifth place with a 195.9 score, the team’s second-best regional point total.

GYMNASTICS

Sloanhoffer ended the season ranked nationally on vault, beam and the allaround. Four gymnasts were ranked on vault in the Southeast Region, while three gymnasts each were ranked on bars and floor. As a team, the Mountaineers ranked in the nation’s top 10 on floor for three straight weeks. The team never dropped out of the top 25 on floor and ended the year ranked No. 21.

Doak was instrumental in the team’s success in 2011, as he guided the vault and floor lineups to the No. 1 and No. 2 EAGL rankings, respectively. Those lineups also ranked No. 17 and No. 21, respectively, in the nation.

Integral in the development of Sloanhoffer, the rookie finished with nine EAGL weekly honors and first-team recognition on vault, floor and beam. She finished the year ranked No. 1 in the league on beam and vault, and No. 4 on floor; she also ranked nationally No. 17, No. 37 and No. 48, respectively, on each apparatus.

Doak also mentored Tina Maloney to the No. 2 EAGL vault ranking, while Amy Bieski ranked No. 5 in the league. Bieski, the league’s gymnast and outstanding senior gymnast of the year, won the EAGL bars title, and Sloanhoffer and Maloney finished in a tie for second on vault at the championship.

In his second season at WVU in 2010, Doak helped guide the Mountaineer vault and floor lineups to the No. 4 and No. 5 EAGL rankings.

His first season with the Mountaineers in 2009 was successful, as the team finished No. 17 nationally on vault and No. 21 on bars. Doak helped coach Mehgan Morris to a national championships berth, as she finished fifth in the all-around at the NCAA Southeast Regional Championships. She also won EAGL bars, floor and all-around titles and was named the league’s most outstanding senior gymnast. Additionally, Chelsi Tabor and Maloney earned the EAGL vault title in Doak’s first season.

A native of Beverly, West Virginia, Doak came to WVU after serving as an assistant coach at Penn State in 2008, where he was responsible for recruiting, team training, spotting on all skill levels and administrative duties. His primary coaching responsibilities included oversight of the Nittany Lion vault and floor exercise. He helped PSU sign four top-10 Junior Olympic finalists and guided the Nittany Lions to a 17-9 record.

Doak also served as an assistant at New Hampshire in 2006-07. His responsibilities included team workouts, recruiting, video work and community service initiatives.

He began his coaching career in 2004 as a volunteer assistant at West Virginia, working with spotting, fundraising and recruit evaluations.

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.

SEASON Fostering Success

Preview

The Mountaineers look to build on their strong finish to the 2017 season.

WVU capped last season with a third place, 196.325 showing at the NCAA Morgantown Regional Championships. It was the team’s highest finish since placing third at the 2007 NCAA Southeast Regional Championships, also in Morgantown, and the team’s score, a season high, topped the previous program regional record of 195.9, earned in 2012.

Nine of the 12 returning Mountaineers earned time in at least one lineup at the regional championships, including senior Zaakira Muhammad, who qualified for the NCAA National Championships in the all-around with the top qualification score of 39.325. She finished eighth on floor in the championships’ second semifinal session with a season-best score of 9.9125 and earned All-America second team accolades. The mark was a program championship record. She also matched the program’s NCAA Championships bars record of 9.8 and finished with an all-around score of 39.0375.

WVU capped the season ranked No. 20 in the Road to Nationals Poll, the team’s first postseason ranking since 2012 and its highest position since sitting at No. 18 in 2007.

Coach Jason Butts returns for his seventh season with the Mountaineers. Since his appointment in 2011, Butts has compiled a 78-52-1 (.599) record and has led WVU to five appearances at the NCAA Regional Championships and a program best, second-place showing at the 2015 Big 12 Gymnastics Championships.

Anderson Joins Coaching Staff

Butts announced the hiring of Shea Anderson as assistant coach on July 11. Most recently a three-year volunteer assistant at Eastern Michigan, Anderson oversees the team’s vault and floor lineups and also serves as the program’s community service outreach director.

GYMNASTICS

While at EMU (2014-17), Anderson coached vault and floor and assisted the Eagle staff with all aspects of practice. She also served as the in-practice strength and conditioning coordinator and coordinated team travel and meals, as well as assisting the recruiting coordinator in evaluations and promoting the program through social media outlets.

A four-year letterwinner at Iowa State, Anderson competed on vault, floor and balance beam and owned career highs of 9.85 on vault and floor. She was a three-time member of the Big 12 Commissioner’s Honor Roll, a two-time ISU Scholar-Athlete, an Academic All-Big 12 honoree in 2012 and an Academic All-Big 12 Second Team honoree in 2010.

The One-Two Punch

For the first time in program history, two All-Americans will be featured on the Mountaineer roster.

Muhammad earned her first career All-America award with an eighthplace finish on floor in the second semifinal session of the 2017 NCAA National Championships. Muhammad scored a season-best 9.9125 and landed on the second team. She became the first Mountaineer gymnast to earn an All-America honor at the national championships since 2007.

Junior Kirah Koshinski earned her second All-America honor in as many seasons in 2017, as she was again named to the NACGC/W Regular Season All-America Second Team for vault.

The duo earned a combined 18 event victories and 46 podium finishes in 2017. Muhammad is the top returning point earner, having tallied 478.8875 points as a junior. She also paces WVU with 1,143.4125 career points. Koshinski led the Mountaineers in 2017 with season averages of 9.869 on vault and 9.888 on floor.

Koshinski ranks No. 7 in program history with 20 career scores of 9.9 or better, while Muhammad sits at No. 19 with 10 marks of 9.9+.

Senior Guidance

The Mountaineers will be led by three seniors in 2018: Robyn Bernard, Jordan Gillette and Zaakira Muhammad. Combined, the trio has competed in 111 career meets. Last season, Muhammad paced WVU with 478.8875 points, while Bernard ranked No. 4 (301.9) and Gillette ranked No. 5 (300.2).

The Mountaineers also will face five teams ranked in the 2018 NACGC/W Preseason Poll, including No. 1 Oklahoma, the two-time defending National Champion, and No. 2-ranked Florida. Additionally, WVU will compete against No. 8 Denver, No. 21 George Washington and No. 25 Penn State.

WVU opens its season against the Gators on Friday, Jan. 5, at 7 p.m., at the WVU Coliseum. UF finished third at the 2017 NCAA National Championships.

Three Gymnasts Ready for Mountaineer Debuts

A trio of freshmen – McKenna Linnen, Sydney Marler and Michelle Waldron – join the Mountaineers this season.

Linnen, a native of Canton, Michigan, was a two-year level 10 gymnast at Gym America. She qualified for the 2017 Junior Olympics National Championships and earned back-to-back third-place finishes on beam at the 2015 and 2016 Region 5 Level 10 Championships.

A native of New Port Richey, Florida, Marler was a seven-year level 10 gymnast at Suncoast Gymnastics Academy. A three-time Junior Olympics National Championships qualifier, she finished tied for second on bars at the 2015 championships and earned the event title at the 2013 Junior Olympics National Invitational Tournament.

Waldron, a native of Sagamore Beach, Massachusetts, was a four-year level 10 gymnast from Cape Cod Gymnastics Center.

In 2016, Waldron placed fifth on vault at the Junior Olympics National Championships and earned the event win at the Region 6 Level 10 Championships.

Catch Them While You Can!

The Mountaineers are on the move in 2018, as the team only competes at the WVU Coliseum four times, with three straight meets in Morgantown in January to open the season.

WVU will face 13 different opponents, including all three Big 12 Conference foes, as well as three teams who qualified for the 2017 NCAA National Championships.

Three gymnasts join the Mountaineers this season (l-r): MichelleWALDRON, SydneyMARLER and McKennaLINNEN.

Uneven Bars Preview

WVU looks to replace its top two bars workers this season.

Junior Tiara Wright, who paced the Mountaineers in 2017 with a 9.828 average, will not compete this year due to injury, while mainstay Alexa Goldberg, who ranked No. 2 last season with a 9.777 average, graduated.

Bernard again will compete in the leadoff position. With Wright and Goldberg out of the lineup, she is the team’s most consistent gymnast on the event, as she earned a 9.725 average in 2017, scoring less than 9.7 just twice. Muhammad also should provide a big score for the Mountaineers. The Pennsauken, New Jersey, native finished last season ranked No. 13 in the Southeast Region with a 9.84 RQS. She reached the podium four times last year and earned the event win at Pitt on March 3 with a career-high 9.9.

WVU also will benefit from the return of Tun. After missing all but the last three meets of the 2017 season due to an injury, the Chattanooga, Tennessee, native looks to replicate her freshman season success, which saw her drop only one bars score in 13 meets.

Cluchey, Kaufman, senior Jordan Gillette, junior Carly Galpin and freshman Sydney Marler all could see time in the lineup this year. Marler finished tied for second on the event at the 2015 Junior Olympic National Championships.

Floor Exercise Preview The Mountaineers may be deepest on floor this season, as 12 gymnasts have competition-ready routines.

Koshinski anchors the lineup. Ranked No. 23 nationally in 2017 with a 9.905 RQS, she just missed qualifying for the National Championships, finishing second at the NCAA Morgantown Regional Championships with a 9.925 mark. Koshinski earned 9.85 or better in all 13 meets as a sophomore and scored a career-best 9.95 twice. She also collected seven event wins and paced WVU with a 9.888 season average.

Muhammad, an All-America Second Team honoree, ranked second on the team with a 9.828 average and 14th in the Southeast Region with a 9.85 RQS. She scored 9.85 or better seven times in 2017, including a season-best 9.9125 at the NCAA National Championships.

Cluchey injected the lineup with excitement as a freshman, scoring 9.825 or better in six of the last seven meets of the year, and finished the season ranked No. 23 regionally with a 9.83 RQS. Also returning to the lineup are Gillette and Kaufman, who each own career highs of 9.825.

Fontaine is expected to make her event career debut in 2018, while Cumber and Linnen should provide immediate depth.

CarlyGALPIN

Balance Beam Preview Despite the loss of leadoff Goldberg and anchor Brooklyn Doggette to graduation, the Mountaineers are deep on balance beam in 2018. WVU returns its top-three season averages, including No. 1-ranked Galpin, who finished with a team-best 9.775 season average last year. The Boonsboro, Maryland, native has not dropped a score on beam in 14 career meets and owns a career-best score of 9.875.

Also returning to the lineup are Gillette and Koshinski, who ranked No. 2 and No. 3, respectively, with averages of 9.718 and 9.708. After earning a career-best 9.875 in her event debut in 2017, Muhammad looks to compete with more confidence in 2018. Additionally, Kaufman looks to build on the consistency she displayed late last year, as she scored 9.725 or better in the final seven meets of her freshman season.

Freshman McKenna Linnen is expected to compete immediately, while sophomores Kassidy Cumber and Erica Fontaine should provide depth.

Notebook

ENDING ON A HIGH NOTE

The Mountaineers finished the 2017 season ranked No. 20 in the final Road to Nationals Rankings. The position was the team’s highest in the final season rankings since sitting at No. 18 in 2007. WVU’s last postseason ranking came in 2012, when the team ranked No. 21.

“We made up 11 spots in the rankings over the course of one year of training and competition,” head coach Jason Butts said. “It’s a tremendous feat. This postseason ranking shows the upward trend our program is taking.”

WVU (13-10, 3-3) was nationally ranked every week in 2017 but three, the best total under Butts in his six seasons as head coach.

The Mountaineers entered the NCAA Morgantown Regional Championships ranked No. 23, marking the first time since 2009 WVU was ranked at the postseason championships.

The Mountaineers concluded the 2017 season scoring 195.7 or better in six of their last seven meets.

MORGANTOWN MAGIC

The Mountaineers earned their best score ever at a regional championships in 2017, scoring 196.325 and finishing in third place at the NCAA Morgantown Regional Championships on April 1, at the WVU Coliseum.

The finish was the team’s best since placing third at the 2007 NCAA Southeast Regional Championships, also in Morgantown. The team’s score, a season high, topped the previous program regional record of 195.9, earned in 2012.

Seeded fifth, WVU had not finished higher than fifth place at a regional since finishing fourth in 2010. The Mountaineers just missed qualifying for the NCAA National Championships, as sixth-ranked Alabama edged WVU with a 196.625 mark.

GYMNASTICS

Included in the team’s showing was a program regional-record score of 49.35 on uneven bars. It was WVU’s best bars mark since earning the same total in 2001, and the score ranks No. 5 in the WVU record book. The Mountaineers’ floor score of 49.225 matched the program regional record first hit on April 10, 1999.

MUHAMMAD MAKES MOVES

Junior Zaakira Muhammad finished fourth in the all-around at the NCAA Morgantown Regional Championships on April 1 with a 39.325 score. The top all-around competitor not on an advancing team, she individually qualified for the NCAA National Championships as the top unattached gymnast and finished 15th overall with a 39.0375 score.

The 19th WVU gymnast to individually qualify for the NCAA National Championships and the 16th to do so in the all-around, Muhammad was the second individual qualifier under Butts and the first since Hope Sloanhoffer, who qualified in the all-around in 2014.

Muhammad finished eighth on floor with a season high and WVU program National Championships record score of 9.9125. With the finish, she earned All-America Second Team accolades, becoming the first WVU gymnast to earn All-America honors at the NCAA National Championships since Janae Cox did so in 2007.

Muhammad also finished 21st on vault (9.8375), 31st on uneven bars (9.8) and 40th on balance beam (9.4875).

KOSHINSKI DOUBLES ALL-AMERICA HONORS

For the second time in as many seasons, Kirah Koshinski was named a regular-season All-America on vault, as the sophomore was named to the National Association of Collegiate Gymnastics Coaches/Women (NACGC/W) Second Team.

The only WVU gymnast to receive the honor, first awarded in 2013, she earned the accolade with a 9.905 regular season regional qualifying score (RQS). She became the first Mountaineer to score multiple honors since Kristin Quackenbush won six All-America awards from 1994-96.

Coupled with Zaakira Muhammad’s NCAA Championships All-America award, the duo became the first Mountaineer pair in program history to earn All-America accolades in the same season.

CONSISTENCY BUILDS SUCCESS

Twelve of the 13 gymnasts who saw competitive time in 2017 reached the podium. Kirah Koshinski and Zaakira Muhammad paced the Mountaineers with 23 podium finishes. Koshinski finished with a teamhigh 12 event wins.

Muhammad led the team with 478.8875 points, and senior Alexa Goldberg finished with a team-high 1,418.775 career points. Goldberg and Muhammad each passed the 1,000 career-point plateau, while Koshinski and juniors Robyn Bernard and Jordan Gillette passed the 500-career point plateau.

TEAMAwards The Linda Burdette-Good Award for the Most Valuable Gymnast

John Quackenbush Award for Mountaineer Spirit

Previously named the Most Valuable Gymnast award, the honor, presented annually by the WVU athletic department since the initial season of gymnastics in 1974, is voted upon by members of the gymnastics team.

The award’s new name was adapted in 2011 following Burdette-Good’s retirement after 37 years at the helm.

The John Quackenbush Award for Mountaineer Spirit is presented annually to the gymnast who displays the most perseverance and enthusiasm for the sport of gymnastics.

The award is named in honor of the late John Quackenbush, a great parent and friend of the Mountaineer gymnastics prograwm.

Each spring, members of the WVU gymnastics team vote on the gymnast who best exemplifies these characteristics to honor the memory of John Quackenbush.

LINDA BURDETTE-GOOD

37 SEASONS | 1975‑2011 | RECORD: 644-263-4 Only the second coach in the history of West Virginia gymnastics, Burdette-Good constantly worked to upgrade the Mountaineer program. She took the program from its infancy as a member of the West Virginia Conference in the AIAW all the way to the NCAA Championships. The WVU alumna coached All‑Americans Janàe Cox, Lajuanda Moody, Kristin Quackenbush and Shari Retton and was named 1995 NCAA Southeast Regional coach of the year.

In 2004, she eclipsed the 500-win milestone, and in 2009, she amassed over 600 victories, making her the all-time winningest Mountaineer coach with a WVU team. She retired in 2011 after 37 highly successful and memorable seasons.

JASON BUTTS

2 SEASONS | 2012- | RECORD: 78-52-1 Elevated to the head coach position after serving five years as an assistant under 37-year coach Linda Burdette-Good, coach Jason Butts is determined to put the West Virginia University gymnastics team back on the national stage. Following a fantastic first season that saw the Mountaineers secure their first 20-win season since 2008 and earn their league-best seventh EAGL title, Butts guided WVU though a difficult 2013 schedule in its first season in the Big 12 Conference. That WVU team became the first squad in the program’s history to tally 196.0 or better in every home regular-season meet.

CHAMPIONSHIP

Appearances

1982 AIAW CHAMPIONSHIPS

Led by an unheralded freshman from Fairmont, W.Va., named Shari Retton, the 1982 gymnastics team surprised the country by finishing third at the AIAW championships in Memphis, Tenn. Coach Linda Burdette’s Mountaineers, at the University’s first‑ever national championships, finished behind first‑place Florida and runner‑up Alabama, and ahead of national powers Georgia, Ohio State, Brigham Young and Washington State, among others.

Retton captured First Team All‑America honors on the vault, uneven parallel bars, floor exercise and the all‑around.

WVU qualified for the championships by winning the EAIAW Regional at Clarion State. The Mountaineers scored 139.25 points to edge Yale’s 138.35.

That title is still WVU’s only regional championship.

The 1982 season saw 18 wins against seven losses. The biggest win of the season was a 142.30‑142.10 victory against eventual national champion Florida, a meet that WVU won on the last gymnast of the last rotation. The 142.30 points was a school record at the time. Also during the 1982 season, West Virginia beat Duke, Kentucky, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Maryland and Pitt.

A side note to the season were Retton’s ties to the athletic world. Her younger sister, Mary Lou, went on to become an Olympic Gold Medalist. Her father, Ronnie, played basketball for the Mountaineers from 1957‑59.

After winning four letters and graduating, Retton later married Mike Timko, a former Mountaineer quarterback (1985‑87).

The 1982 season was WVU’s last year in the AIAW after a nine‑year association. The Mountaineers began NCAA competition with the 1983 season.

1995 NCAA CHAMPIONSHIPS

After years of being on the outside looking in, the 1995 WVU gymnastics team took the step to the next level with an at‑large bid to the 1995 NCAA Championships in Athens, Ga. The senior‑led group found the right mix of talent, desire, experience and coaching and put it all together when it counted - at the NCAA Southeast Regional.

In fact, the whole season was something magical. Ten team records were set or tied throughout the course of the year, while five individual marks were reached. The 15‑6 Mountaineers won their fourth straight Atlantic 10 title and Karla Hairston and Kristin Quackenbush were named Atlantic 10 Gymnasts of the Year, while Umme Salim garnered A10 Freshman of the Year honors.

Coach Linda Burdette was named NCAA Southeast Regional Coach of the Year. Freshman Adriana Manago earned NACGC/W scholastic All‑America status, while WVU’s first‑ever trip to the NCAA Championships was highlighted

by Quackenbush, the talented sophomore all‑arounder who earned second‑team All‑America honors on the floor exercise.

The most rewarding accomplishment of the 1995 season was that of WVU’s three seniors, Liz Byrnes, Jenni Kaye and Shannon Migli, all of whom overcame injuries that plagued them their first three years in Morgantown to become major contributors in WVU’s run to the championships.

1999 NCAA CHAMPIONSHIPS

What appeared initially as a tragedy for the 1999 West Virginia gymnastics team was actually an awakening. The Mountaineers had attained a 17-2 record prior to the East Atlantic Gymnastics League meet and entered the meet as one of only three schools from the EAGL ranked in the Top 25. For the first time since the inception of the EAGL in 1996, the Mountaineers failed to win the EAGL crown in 1999.

But, despite finishing an uncharacteristic sixth at the EAGL Championships at Maryland, the Mountaineers couldn=t have scripted a more opportune time to amend that setback, regroup, and really let their true colors show than at the NCAA Regionals before the home crowd.

West Virginia hosted the NCAA Region 6 Championships at the WVU Coliseum, which assembled five of the top 25 teams in the country, including No. 2 Alabama. The Mountaineers showcased their most brilliant talent at this meet and attained a 195.275 team score, placing them second in their region behind Alabama and qualifying them for their second trip to the national championship in five years.

Although the Mountaineers placed 12th at the NCAA Championship in Salt Lake City, Utah, coach Linda Burdette had plenty of reasons to be proud of her squad. Five WVU gymnasts earned all-EAGL notice and for the fourthstraight season, the Mountaineers were undefeated in the Coliseum in regular season competition. One of the most significant of those wins came on February 20, when the Mountaineers defeated Minnesota and North Carolina State, giving Burdette the 400th and 401st victories of her career. She became the fourth coach in school history to reach that milestone.

Senior Nikki West punctuated her stellar vaulting career with two more perfect 10.0s in 1999. West scored five 10.0s on vault, tying her with former WVU gymnast Kristin Quakenbush for the most perfect scores in school history.

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, Minn. Not an easy task considering the competition, which included No. 3 Utah and Top 25 teams Denver and Minnesota.

The Mountaineers, largely behind the efforts of seniors Kelly Foley and Danielle Lilly, managed to scrap and claw their way to a second place finish.

West Virginia proved its shaky performance at the EAGL meet to be an aberration by simply being more consistent than the opposition and earning a trip to the NCAA Championship in Boise, Idaho.

Although the Mountaineers finished in 12th place the 2000 season stands out as one where WVU showed tremendous determination and heart.

GYMNASTICS

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 Athe 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 Retton

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

A four-year letterwinner, Retton, just a freshman, helped the 10th-seeded Mountaineers finish third at those national championships, while she posted a third place individual finish in the all-around (36.30). Two-time team captain, Retton went on to earn a number of accolades, including NCAA regional balance beam champion, Most Valuable Gymnast and Atlantic 10 Senior of the Year.

WVU qualified for the NCAA regionals each year during her career. She was inducted into the WVU Sports Hall of Fame in 2001.

The daughter of Ronnie Retton, who captained WVU’s 1959 NCAA runner-up basketball team, the Fairmont, W.Va., native is the older sister of Olympic champion gymnast Mary Lou Retton; their brother Ron played baseball at WVU. Married to former WVU quarterback Mike Timko, Shari currently lives in Houston, Pa.

PRESIDENT

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Gee is serving as chair of the Big 12 Board of Directors Executive Committee for the 2017-18 year. Active in many national professional and service organizations, he is on the executive committee of the National 4-H Council Board of Trustees and serves on the board of directors of the American Council on Education, the nation’s largest higher education organization, as well as on the board of trustees of the Royal University for Women in Bahrain, with which WVU has a long-standing academic partnership. A recipient of the Distinguished Eagle Scout Award, he is an executive board member of Boy Scouts of America. He has also served on the boards for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum and Limited Brands.

J.D, ED.D

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

Gee has received many honorary degrees, awards, fellowships and recognitions. He is a fellow of the prestigious American Association for the Advancement of Science, the world’s largest science organization.

In 1994, Gee received the Distinguished Alumnus Award from the University of Utah, as well as from Teachers College of Columbia University. In 2013, he received the ACE Council of Fellows/Fidelity Investments Mentor Award and the Outstanding Academic Leader of the Year Award on behalf of Historically Black Colleges and Universities.

He is the co-author of 11 books, including Law, Policy and Higher Education, published in 2012. He has also authored many papers and articles on law and education.

In the summer of 2016, Gee announced his engagement to Laurie Erickson, leader of the Erickson Foundation. Gee’s daughter, Rebekah, is Secretary of the Louisiana Department of Health. In addition to that role, she is a practicing gynecologist and Gratis Faculty at the Louisiana State University School of Medicine and Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center in New Orleans. Dr. Rebekah Gee is married to David Patrón and they have five children.

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

SHANE Lyons

The 2017-18 season is Shane Lyons’ third full year as director of athletics at West Virginia University. If the next year is anything like the previous two, the Mountaineer athletics story will be full of positive results and continued success.

In year two, Lyons put the finishing touches, to rave reviews, on $23 million in renovations to the WVU Coliseum, while $50 million in renovations and fan enhancements to Milan Puskar Stadium finished in August 2017.

Lyons is always on the go, focusing his energy daily on the betterment of more than 500 student-athletes. His open lines of communications have made him a popular role model for WVU athletes, and his honest, fair and caring approach has energized an athletic department that turned in record results in 2017.

Under Lyons’ leadership, 2017 was one of the best in WVU history. Six teams were nationally ranked, football turned in a 10-win season, women’s soccer played for the national championship and had the Hermann Trophy winner, men’s basketball reached the Sweet 16, women’s basketball won the Big 12 championship and rifle won its 19th national championship. Overall, the Mountaineers registered in 24 All-Americans, 104 all-conference performers, 20 academic award winners, 121 academic all-conference selections, 10 Olympians, one Olympic gold medalist and two silver medalists.

Overseeing 18 varsity sports, a self-sustaining department budget of more than $90 million and more than 200 employees, Lyons’ tireless efforts in the coming year will be geared toward getting started on a new $45 million aquatic and track center in Morgantown, and a continued focus, on the growth and cultivation of the more than $23 million in fundraising efforts brought in by the Mountaineer Athletic Club. He will also direct phase two of the Coliseum renovations, which will bring the building up to ADA seating code, and for the first-time ever, Milan Puskar Stadium will have two video boards to improve in fan entertainment and information.

While some outside observers may think that he is a behind-the-scenes guy, the people who count will tell you that Lyons is a results-oriented leader who has his finger on the pulse and is a positive influence on the entire department.

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. Also in 2017-18, Lyons will chair the overall athletic directors committee for the Big 12.

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

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

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

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

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

including the football championship game, the men’s basketball tournament and men’s and women’s NCAA basketball events.

Prior to working at the ACC, Lyons served as associate athletics director for compliance at Big 12 member Texas Tech from 1998 to 2001. During that time, Lyons assumed responsibility for the leadership, administration and implementation of a comprehensive NCAA compliance program with emphasis toward rules education and extensive monitoring systems. He also served as oversight administrator for several of the Red Raiders’ athletic teams and had financial and operational supervision of the strength and conditioning, nutritional and sports medicine units.

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

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

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

Lyons, the University’s 12th athletic director, and his wife, Emily, a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, have two children: Cameron and Brooke.

SCORING Scoring Information

Information

In collegiate team competition, six gymnasts perform on each of the four apparatuses (vault, uneven parallel bars, balance beam and floor exercise). The five best individual scores per event comprise the cumulative team total.

Collegiate competition requires at least two judges to evaluate the score of an athlete’s performance. Their scores are averaged to arrive at a final mark. A perfect team score is 200, with top collegiate scores ranging between 193.00 and 198.00.

Optional routines, choreographed to express the gymnasts’ skills that they perform best, are based on a score of 9.5 with a possibility of an additional five-tenths for completing more difficult skills and or combinations.

JUDGES USE THE FOLLOWING CATEGORIES TO EVALUATE OPTIONAL ROUTINES:

Value parts (difficulty)

Vault

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 1/2.

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.

GYMNASTICS

Uneven Bars

A complete routine comprises some 10 to 15 moves, consisting mainly of swinging and suspension skills utilizing both bars with many regrasps.

A change of direction is required in the routine, while pauses for concentration, extra swings and uncharacteristic elements are to be avoided.

The gymnast must change bars two times, and must have at least two flight elements.

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..

JordanGILLETTE

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 difficulty 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.
