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 123-92-1 (.572) career record with the Mountaineers. He has led WVU to eight appearances at the NCAA Regional Championships and a program-best, second-place showing at the 2015 Big 12 Gymnastics Championship. The 2021 campaign saw the Mountaineers competing in a double roundrobin, home and away conference slate due to restrictions in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Along with six conference meets, WVU also competed against regional rival Pitt to close the regular season. Butts led WVU to a pair of wins against the Panthers, while the team ended the year ranked No. 28 in the Road to Nationals Rankings with a National Qualifying Score (NQS) of 391.419. The Mountaineers’ floor exercise lineup was ranked inside the top 25 every week, as the squad posted a 49.0 or higher in all but two meets. Kendra Combs ranked inside the top 10 on floor in the conference, checking in at No. 10 overall with an NQS of 9.888. Combs also led the squad with 11 podium finishes and seven event wins on the year. In the postseason, West Virginia hosted the Big 12 Gymnastics Championship and the NCAA Morgantown Regional Championships inside the WVU Coliseum in Morgantown. Butts’ Mountaineers finished fourth (195.725) at the Big 12 Championship and third (195.65) in the second of two second-round meets at the Regional Championships. Nine Mountaineers earned a spot on the 2021 Academic All-Big 12 Gymnastics Teams, including six first-team members. Kianna Yancey was the lone WVU gymnast to earn the recognition with a 4.0 grade point average. Additionally, ten members of the team were named Scholastic All-Americans by the Women’s Collegiate Gymnastics Association (WCGA). McKenna Linnen also received the Dr. Gerald Lage Academic Achievement Award, the Big 12 Conference’s highest academic honor. In a season cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic, Butts guided WVU to four top-50 scores in 2020, including a season-high 196.425 in wins over Pitt and Rutgers on March 1, at the WVU Coliseum. West Virginia won six of its last eight competitions and finished the year ranked No. 24 nationally on floor exercise. Individually, 12 of the 16 Mountaineers who saw competitive time reached the podium. Chloe Cluchey posted a personal best on floor, scoring a winning 9.95 on March 1. Her total was the team’s highest individual score of the season, becoming the first WVU gymnast to earn a 9.95+ since Kirah Koshinski scored a 9.975 on March 17, 2019. Academically, a program-record eleven Mountaineers were named NACGC/W Scholastic All-Americans, marking the fifth time since 1987 that 10 or more gymnasts received recognition. Nine student-athletes also earned a spot on the 2020 Academic All-Big 12 Gymnastics First Team. The nine first-team honors are a team record and top the previous season-best showing of eight, set in 2018 and 2019. Abby Kaufman and Julia Merwin also received the Dr. Gerald Lage Academic Achievement Award, the Big 12 Conference’s highest academic honor. Additionally, Kaufman landed on the CoSIDA Academic All-America At-Large Third Team for the second year in a row and became the first gymnast in program history to receive the Order of Augusta award, WVU’s most prestigious student honor. Kaufman also earned WVU’s Fred Schaus Captain’s Award, an honor given to the University’s most outstanding varsity team captain. In 2019, Butts led WVU to the regional championships for the 40th time in program history and placed fourth in the second of two second round quad meets at the NCAA Ann Arbor Regional Championships with a 195.425 score. Prior to the regional championships, WVU placed fourth at the Big 12 Championship with a 195.6 score. West Virginia reached double-digit wins in just six meets, the fastest under Butts and the quickest since earning 10 victories in five meets in 2010. The Mountaineers’ 2019 win total of 19 was the team’s top win mark since earning 21 in 2012, Butts’ first season. WVU finished the season with a 19-9 overall record (0-4 Big 12). West Virginia also was nationally ranked twice in the Road to Nationals Rankings. The vault and floor lineups were nationally ranked each week, with the floor lineup spending seven weeks in the top 10 and peaking at No. 5. At season end, Jaquie Tun and Koshinski owned a combined three national rankings. Koshinski ranked No. 7 on vault and No. 28 on floor, while Tun ranked No. 45 on floor. Individually, Butts helped coach Koshinski to her fourth career All-America

honor and first first-team recognition, as she was named to the NACGC/W Regular Season All-America Vault First Team. Koshinski became the first gymnast in program history to earn at least one honor in four consecutive seasons. The 2019 All-Big 12 Gymnastics Vault Team member also set the WVU records for career 9.9+ scores on vault (26) and floor (22). Additionally, Kaufman competed in the all-around in all 14 meets, the second-highest season total in program history, and earned 544.925 points, the third-best single-season total in program history. WVU tallied three top-50 scores, including a season-high 196.425 in wins over No. 22 Ohio State, No. 24 Penn State and NC State on March 17, at the WVU Coliseum. Most notably, WVU totaled 49.5 on floor in wins over Pitt and Cornell on Feb. 17, at the WVU Coliseum. The mark was the fifth-best floor score in program history. Koshinski earned the first 10.0 of her career that same day and claimed the floor victory with a career-best 9.975. Academically, eight Mountaineers earned a spot on the 2019 Academic All-Big 12 Gymnastics First Team. Three Mountaineers earned the honor with 4.0 grade point averages (GPA); no other conference team had an honoree with a 4.0 GPA. Seven gymnasts also were named NACGC/W Scholastic All-Americans. Kaufman led the way in the classroom and became the first gymnast since 2007 to be selected to an Academic All-America Team, as she was named to the 2019 CoSIDA Women’s At-Large Academic All-America Third Team. She also became the second Mountaineer gymnast and the first since Jaida Lawrence in 2015 to earn Big 12 Scholar-Athlete of the Year accolades. The Mountaineers were at their most consistent in 2018, as WVU did not count a fall in all but one meet and finished the year at 13-13 (0-6). WVU made its fourth consecutive appearance at the NCAA Regional Championships, its sixth qualification under Butts, and finished fourth at the 2018 Big 12 Championship with a 195.625 score, its second-best mark in a championship away from Morgantown. Additionally, WVU sat within the national rankings four times throughout the season. The Mountaineers made their mark in the record book in 2018, as WVU posted five team scores that rank in the program’s top-50 list. Four of the scores were 196.0 or better, and three were earned away from the WVU Coliseum, a feat never achieved before by a Mountaineer team. For the third consecutive season, a Mountaineer earned All-America accolades, as Koshinski was named to the NACGC/W All-America Second Team for vault, her third career honor. She is only the second Mountaineer gymnast in program history to earn at least three career awards. Academically, a program-record 10 Mountaineers were named to the 2018 Academic All-Big 12 Gymnastics Team, with eight landing on the first team. Additionally, for the second consecutive season, 10 gymnasts were named Scholastic All-Americans by the NACGC/W. WVU ranked No. 28 nationally and tops among Big 12 schools with a team GPA of 3.5233. The 2017 season was one of the Mountaineers’ strongest outings under Butts. Not only did WVU have a presence at the NCAA Championships, as Zaakira Muhammad qualified in the all-around, but the program also saw a pair of AllAmericans 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 secondplace Alabama, also was a season high. The Mountaineers set a program regional record on uneven bars (49.35) and matched the program’s regional floor record (49.225). Additionally, Muhammad earned her national championships bid with a fourth-place, 39.325 showing in the all-around, while Koshinski placed second on floor with a 9.925 mark. Muhammad finished eighth on floor in the second semifinal session at the 2017 NCAA Championships, scoring a program NCAA record 9.9125 and earning All-America Second Team accolades. She became the first Mountaineer since 2007 to earn All-America honors at the NCAA Championships. Additionally, Muhammad scored 9.8 on bars, matching the program’s championship record. Koshinski also was named to the NACGC/W All-America Second Team for the second straight season, giving WVU two All-Americans in one season for the second time in program history and the first time since 1994. Koshinski also earned her second career All-Big 12 Gymnastics Vault Team accolade. The Mountaineers were nationally ranked each week but three in 2017. WVU concluded the year ranked No. 20 in the Road to Nationals Rankings, the team’s highest position in the final season rankings since finishing No. 18 in 2007. The squad’s final season record stood at 13-10, 3-3 in Big 12 competition.

Ten gymnasts were named Scholastic All-Americans by the NACGC/W. As a team, WVU ranked No. 25 nationally and tops among Big 12 schools with a team GPA of 3.4935. Additionally, seven gymnasts earned Academic 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 (No. 22 in the Jan. 25 Road to Nationals Rankings). The Mountaineers finished the season ranked No. 3 in the Southeast Region, the team’s highest position of the year. Following its 2016 opener, WVU hit 195.0 or better in 11 straight contests, marking the first time since 2004, and only the second time in program history, the squad scored 195.0+ in all but one of its regular season meets. The Mountaineers finished with an 11-8 overall record (1-5 Big 12). The Mountaineers put together a solid list of “firsts” in Butts’ fifth season, including scoring 196.0 or better in back-to-back meets for the first time since 2013. Additionally, Koshinski earned the program’s first regular season AllAmerica honor, as she was named to the NACGC/W All-America Second Team. Koshinski also claimed the Big 12 Newcomer of the Year honor, the first major Big 12 postseason award for a Mountaineer gymnast. A five-time Big 12 Newcomer of the Week honoree, she also was named to the All-Big 12 Gymnastics Vault Team and the All-Big 12 Championship Team. Eight gymnasts were named Scholastic All-Americans by the NACGC/W. The accolades were the most for the program since 2011. Additionally, seven gymnasts landed on the Academic All-Big 12 Gymnastics Team. Butts led the Mountaineers to their best-ever finish at the 2015 Big 12 Championship, as the team placed second with a 195.025 score. The squad used the momentum built at the meet to finish fifth at the 2015 NCAA Morgantown Regional Championships with a score of 195.65, the program’s third-best score at a regional championships. Included in the final total was a 49.225 showing on balance beam, the team’s best-ever score on the event at a regional meet. WVU finished the 2015 season with a 14-9-1 (1-1-1 Big 12) record. Dayah Haley earned her second straight All-Big 12 Championship Team honor with a second place all-around showing at the conference championship. Season highlights also included a 195.35, first-place finish in a quad-meet at NC State, WVU’s first win over the Wolfpack in Raleigh since 2007, and a season-best 196.075 score in wins over Penn and Cornell. Individually, WVU tallied 11 scores of 9.9 or better throughout the season, including 9.95 showings by Haley (floor) and Alexa Goldberg (bars).

six gymnasts earned NACGC/W Scholastic All-America honors, seven garnered Academic All-Big 12 Team recognitions and two were named to the Academic All-Big 12 Rookie Team. Butts returned the program to the national stage in his third season, as Hope Sloanhoffer qualified for the NCAA Championships in the all-around, the first gymnast since 2009 to advance to the national championships and the 18th in program history. The 2014 NCAA Athens Regional Championships beam co-champion, Sloanhoffer also captured the Big 12 all-around crown, WVU gymnastics’ first Big 12 title. As a team, the Mountaineers finished with a 6-11 (0-4 Big 12) overall mark and a third-place showing at the Big 12 Championship, the first conference championship hosted in Morgantown since WVU joined the Big 12 in 2012. The squad scored a program- and season-best 196.375 at the championship. Sloanhoffer finished with two All-Big 12 Championship Team honors (all-around and floor), while Haley (all-around) and Beth Deal (beam) each earned one, quadrupling the program’s honors from 2013. Sloanhoffer, Deal (beam), Goldberg (bars) and Nicolette Swoboda (all-around) all individually qualified for the Athens Regional. The Mountaineers also showed improvement in the classroom in 2014, as seven gymnasts were named Scholastic All-Americans, an increase from five in 2013. Additionally, seven garnered Academic All-Big 12 Gymnastics Team recognition, also an increase from five in 2013. In just his second season at the helm, Butts ushered in a new era for WVU gymnastics in 2013, as the Mountaineers joined perennial powerhouse Oklahoma and Iowa State in the Big 12. The team made a name for itself in its new home, as the squad scored 196.0 or better in every home meet, a feat never before achieved in program history, and finished the year at 13-9 (1-3 Big 12). WVU spent six weeks in the GymInfo Poll, peaking at No. 16, and finished third in its first Big 12 Championship. The team also qualified for its 34th NCAA Regional Championships and placed fifth in front of a WVU Coliseum crowd. Included in 2013’s five 196.0+ performances were a season-best 196.55 mark in a loss to then-No. 3 Michigan (196.925) and wins over New Hampshire (194.875) and Towson (193.15) at the WVU Coliseum on Feb. 24. The Mountaineers’ score was the 10th-best mark in program history. WVU also earned its first Big 12 victory with a 196.15-194.825 win over ISU at the WVU Coliseum on Feb. 10 in front of 2,522 fans, the sixth-largest crowd to attend a home WVU gymnastics meet. In all, WVU competed in front of three home crowds of 1,800 or better, including the team’s Big 12 opener against Oklahoma on Feb. 1, which drew a crowd of 1,881, the 11th-best mark in program history. Lawrence earned the program’s first All-Big 12 honor, as she was named to the vault team, while Kaylyn Millick earned a spot on the All-Big 12 Championship Team for her second-place all-around finish. Additionally, three gymnasts earned

a combined six Big 12 weekly awards, five student-athletes were named to the 2013 Academic All-Big 12 Gymnastics Team and all three newcomers were named to the Academic All-Big 12 Rookie Team. At season’s end, the Mountaineers were nationally ranked No. 21 on vault, No. 21 on beam and No. 26 on floor; WVU was ranked in the top 25 on vault each week of 2013. Millick ranked No. 27 in the 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 final season ranking since 2009. WVU concluded the year with a 5-4 mark against ranked teams and earned wins against No. 8 Arkansas, No. 13 Auburn and No. 13 Missouri. Making good on a promise he gave the team when he was hired, Butts also led the Mountaineers to their league-best seventh East Atlantic Gymnastics League (EAGL) title on March 24, 2012. Sloanhoffer, the EAGL Gymnast of the Year, captured the vault, bars and all-around titles, while Deal secured the beam victory. WVU tallied a season-best 196.475 score in its win and set three seasonbest scores on vault (49.25), bars (49.175) and floor (49.2). Prior to the championship, seven Mountaineers earned 15 All-EAGL honors, including four first-team awards for Sloanhoffer. She ranked No. 1 in the league in the all-around every week of the season. Following its seven wins at the EAGL Championship, WVU qualified for its 33rd regional championship appearance as the No. 5 seed in the Auburn regional. Entering regional competition, WVU ranked nationally on vault and floor and owned the league’s top ranking on each event. Additionally, the squad ranked No. 2 on bars and beam. Nationally ranked for all but four weeks, the Mountaineers opened the 2012 season at No. 21. The squad was ranked in the nation’s top 25 on vault and floor all season and spent the first three weeks of the year nationally ranked in the top 10 on floor. The Mountaineers ended the season ranked No. 20 on vault and No. 21 on floor. A two-time (2009-10) Southeast Region Assistant Coach of the Year, Butts spent five seasons coaching the Mountaineers’ vault, floor and bars lineups under coach Linda Burdette-Good, who announced her retirement after 37 years of leading the Mountaineers in 2011. He helped those three lineups become dominant in the EAGL, as eight Mountaineers earned 19 first team all-league honors in the three events under his tutelage. As the primary bars coach, Butts produced three EAGL individual bars champions, including 2011 outright winner Amy Bieski. He also guided Mehgan Morris to back-to-back wins in 2008 and 2009. Additionally, he helped mentor Janáe Cox (2007) and Morris (2009) to individual all-around NCAA Championships qualifications and coached Cox to 2007 first team All-America honors on floor. In his five seasons as an assistant, the Mountaineers produced a 98-44 record, competed at five straight NCAA Regional Championships and claimed the 2008 EAGL Championship. Additionally, Butts coached nine EAGL individual champions, two EAGL Gymnasts of the Year and 57 All-EAGL honorees. Though the bars lineup shuffled throughout the 2011 season, Butts’ unit produced an overall season average of 48.406. Emily Kerwin ended the year ranked No. 6 in the EAGL and No. 13 in the Southeast Region, with a 9.81 RQS, while league champion Bieski ranked No. 8 in the conference and No. 15 regionally, with a 9.795 RQS. Additionally, the Mountaineers placed the most representatives on the All-EAGL bars first team, as Kerwin, Bieski and Nicole Roach all secured the honor. In total, four gymnasts swung to multiple scores of 9.8 or better throughout the season, and Bieski and Roach set the team standard with career-best 9.875 marks. In addition to leading the bars team, Butts helped guide the vault and floor lineups to the No. 1 (49.08 RQS) and No. 2 (49.035) league rankings, respectively. The units also were nationally ranked No. 17 and No. 21, respectively. Under his supervision, Sloanhoffer, a nine-time EAGL weekly award winner, was ranked No. 1 in the league, No. 6 in the region and No. 37 in the nation on vault (9.865 RQS) and earned three 9.9+ vault scores on the season. Butts was faced with the challenge of filling holes in the bars lineup in 2010, as key contributors were hit with injuries. Under his guidance, the Mountaineers
[
rose to the challenge and finished the season ranked second in the EAGL and fourth in the Southeast Region. Additionally, he guided Bieski and Roach to the No. 8 league ranking with matching 9.79 RQS’. Butts also helped Chelsi Tabor attain the second-best EAGL vault RQS of 9.855. The mark ranked 10th in the region and 47th nationally. The Mountaineers finished first on floor and second on bars and vault in the EAGL in 2009; they were nationally ranked 17th and 21st on vault and bars, respectively. Butts helped guide Morris to a fifth-place all-around finish at the 2009 NCAA Southeast Regional Championship and a qualification for the NCAA Championship. Additionally, she not only repeated as the EAGL bars and floor champion, but she also won the all-around league title and was named the EAGL Outstanding Senior Gymnast. Three additional Mountaineers won EAGL titles in 2009 – Tabor (vault), Tina Maloney (vault) and Shelly Purkat (beam). In 2008, Morris scored a 9.85 on bars at the EAGL Championship to win the individual title, and the Mountaineers picked up their first league team title since 2004. Morris, along with Erica Watson, was named to the All-EAGL First Team on bars, while Bieski was a second-team selection in her rookie season. Butts saw his bars lineup vastly improve through his first season at WVU. After early season struggles, the group came together down the stretch to have the EAGL’s top bars RQS and a score that ranked 23rd in the country by season’s end. WVU placed second at the EAGL Championship on 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.

Travis Doak enters his 14th year at his alma mater and his eighth as the team’s associate head coach. He is responsible for coaching vault, balance beam and floor exercise. He also oversees the Mountaineers’ recruiting efforts. Since Doak joined the staff in 2009, WVU has made 11 NCAA Regional Championship appearances, earned one conference title and compiled an overall record of 170-116-1 (.594). The 2021 season saw the Mountaineers competing in a double, round-robin home and away conference schedule, while the squad also competed in a trio of meets against regional rival Pitt. Doak helped the WVU floor exercise lineup to a national ranking inside the top 25 each week, as the squad posted a 49.0 or higher in all but two meets. West Virginia also tallied a season-high 49.45 mark on floor in the second round of the NCAA Regional Championships on April 2, good for an NCAA regional program record. Eleven of the 14 Mountaineers who saw competitive time reached the podium. WVU boasted 64 podium finishes on the year, while Kendra Combs led the team with 11 podium finishes and seven event wins. Academically, nine Mountaineers earned a spot on the 2021 Academic AllBig 12 Gymnastics Teams, including six first-team members. Kianna Yancey was the lone WVU gymnast to earn the recognition with a 4.0 grade-point average. In a season cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic, Doak helped guide WVU to four top-50 scores in 2020, including a season-high 196.425 in wins over Pitt and Rutgers on March 1, at the WVU Coliseum. West Virginia won six of its last eight competitions and finished the year ranked No. 24 nationally on floor. Individually, 12 of the 16 Mountaineers who saw competitive time reached the podium. Chloe Cluchey posted a personal best on floor, scoring a winning 9.95 on March 1. Her total was the team’s highest individual score of the season, becoming the first WVU gymnast to earn a 9.95+ since Kirah Koshinski scored a 9.975 on March 17, 2019. In 2019, Doak helped WVU qualify for the regional championships for the 40th time in program history and placed fourth in the second of two second round quad meets at the NCAA Ann Arbor Regional Championships with a 195.425 score. Prior to the regional championships, WVU placed fourth at the Big 12 Gymnastics Championship with a 195.6 score. WVU was nationally ranked twice in the Road to Nationals Rankings. The vault and floor lineups were nationally ranked each week, with the floor lineup spending seven weeks in the top 10 and peaking at No. 5. At season end, Jaquie Tun and Koshinski owned a combined three national rankings. Koshinski ranked No. 7 on vault and No. 28 on floor, while Tun ranked No. 45 on floor. WVU finished the season with a 19-9 overall record (0-4 Big 12), the team’s top win mark since earning 21 victories in 2012. Doak also helped coach Koshinski to her fourth career All-America honor and first first-team recognition, as she was named to the NACGC/W Regular Season All-America Vault First Team. Koshinski became the first gymnast in program history to earn at least one honor in four consecutive seasons. The 2019 All-Big 12 Gymnastics Vault Team member also set the WVU records for career 9.9+ scores on vault (26) and floor (22). Additionally, WVU tallied 49.5 on floor in wins over Pitt and Cornell on Feb. 17, at the WVU Coliseum. The mark was the fifth-best floor score in program history. Koshinski earned the first 10.0 of her career that same day and claimed the floor victory with a career-best 9.975. Koshinski also total a 10.0 on vault, scoring a winning 9.95 at Pitt on Feb. 22. WVU was at its most consistent in Doak’s 10th season with the Mountaineers, as the team did not count a fall in all but one meet. The Mountaineers qualified for their 39th NCAA Regional Championships and placed fourth at the Big 12 Championship with a 195.625, their second-best score at a championship away from Morgantown. WVU was ranked nationally four times throughout the season and finished the year at 13-13 (0-6). The Mountaineers made their mark in the record book in 2018, as WVU posted five team scores that rank in the program’s top 50 list. Four of the scores were 196.0 or better, and three were earned away from the WVU Coliseum, a feat never achieved before by a Mountaineer team. Also in 2018, Koshinski was named to the NACGC/W All-America Second Team for vault for the third consecutive season, becoming just the second gymnast in program history to earn at least three career All-America awards. Koshinski scored 9.9 or better on vault seven times. In Doak’s ninth season in 2017, WVU gymnastics again had a presence at the NCAA Championships, as Zaakira Muhammad qualified in the all-around. She was most successful on floor, scoring a program NCAA record 9.9125 and

finishing in eighth place, good enough for All-America Second Team accolades. She became the first Mountaineer since 2007 to earn All-America honors at the NCAA Championships. Additionally, she tallied 9.8 on uneven bars, matching the program’s championship record. The Mountaineers concluded the 2017 season in record-setting fashion, scoring a season-best 196.325 and finishing third at the NCAA Morgantown Regional Championships. The mark was a program regional record and just 0.3 points short of second-place Alabama. Muhammad earned her NCAA Championships bid with a fourth-place, 39.325 showing in the all-around. Additionally, Koshinski placed second on floor with a 9.925 score, and the Mountaineers set a program regional record on bars (49.35) and matched the program’s regional record on floor (49.225). Koshinski collected her second straight NACGC/W All-America Second Team honor for vault, and combined with Muhammad’s All-America honor, WVU ended the year with two All-Americans for the second time in program history and the first time since 1994. Koshinski also was named to the 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). 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 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 Championship, scoring 195.025. Dayah Haley earned her second straight All-Big 12 Championship Team honor with a second-place finish in the all-around. The Mountaineers tallied 11 individual scores of 9.9 or better in 2015, including 9.95 showings for Haley (floor) and Alexa Goldberg (bars). WVU finished the year with a 14-9-1 (1-1-1 Big 12) overall record. The squad also ranked No. 28 in the final GymInfo Poll. Doak helped guide Hope Sloanhoffer to the 2014 NCAA Championships, as she individually qualified in the all-around. She was the first Mountaineer to qualify since 2009, Doak’s first season as an assistant, and the 18th in program history. Sloanhoffer qualified after finishing second in the all-around and first on beam at the 2014 NCAA Athens Regional Championships. WVU posted its best score at the 2014 Big 12 Championship, tallying 196.375 and finishing in third place. Three Mountaineers earned four All-Big 12 Championship Team honors, and Sloanhoffer finished first in the all-around with a 39.425 score, the program’s first Big 12 title. The squad finished the season with a 6-11 (0-4 Big 12) mark. Sloanhoffer (all-around), Beth Deal (beam), Goldberg (bars) and Nicolette Swoboda (all-around) individually qualified for the Athens Regional. The team finished the year ranked No. 28 nationally on vault and 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 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 Championship and qualified for its 34th 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 56 all-conference honors, including 30 All-EAGL First Team awards, two gymnasts of the year distinctions and two outstanding senior gymnast nods. Doak played a major role in 2012, helping the Mountaineers transition under first-year coach Jason Butts and parlay the change into instant success. In addition to the Mountaineers’ league-best seventh East Atlantic Gymnastics League (EAGL) title, the team’s first since 2008, WVU advanced to the NCAA Auburn Regional Championships and finished in fifth with a 195.9 score, the team’s second-best regional point total. With seven wins at the league championship, WVU finished the year with a 21-5 record, the program’s first 20-win season since 2008.

Sloanhoffer ended the season ranked nationally on vault, beam and the all-around. Four gymnasts were ranked on vault in the Southeast Region, while three gymnasts each were ranked on bars and floor. As a team, the Mountaineers ranked in the nation’s top 10 on floor for three straight weeks. The team never dropped out of the top 25 on floor and ended the year ranked No. 21. Doak was instrumental in the team’s success in 2011, as he guided the vault and floor lineups to the No. 1 and No. 2 EAGL rankings, respectively. Those lineups also ranked No. 17 and No. 21, respectively, in the nation. Integral in the development of Sloanhoffer, the rookie finished with nine EAGL weekly honors and first-team recognition on vault, floor and beam. She
[
finished the year ranked No. 1 in the league on beam and vault, and No. 4 on floor; she also ranked at No. 17, No. 37 and No. 48 nationally, respectively, on each apparatus.

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, respectively. His first season with the Mountaineers in 2009 was successful, as the team finished No. 17 nationally on vault and No. 21 on bars.

2022 season preview 2022 Season Preview..................................................70 2022 Schedule.............................................................71 2022 Quick Facts.........................................................72
22 SEASON PREVIEW Here’s what you need to know heading into the new campaign: • West Virginia is led by 11th-year head coach Jason Butts. He is assisted by associate head coach Travis Doak, who enters his 14th season with the program and eighth as the associate head coach. Assistant coach Zaakira Muhammad, a former All-American at WVU, enters her second campaign as a member of the coaching staff. • The Mountaineers return to competition following an 2-7 season in 2021. WVU tallied a season-high score in a 196.1-193.4 win over regional rival Pitt in its regular-season finale on March 14. The mark is tied for the 35th-best score in program history. • Ten of the 11 Mountaineers returning to the 2022 squad earned time in at least one lineup, with eight reaching the podium. In all, WVU boasted 64 podium finishes in 2021. • Junior Kianna Yancey led the squad with 360.55 points last season, followed by senior Rachel Hornung with 358.925. Senior Kendra Combs ranked first on the team with seven event wins (five on floor exercise and one each on uneven bars and balance beam). • The Mountaineers are led by a trio of seniors this year: Esperanza Abarca, Kendra Combs and Rachel Hornung. Combined, the three have competed in 100 career meets. • Abarca is the most experienced gymnast on the roster, having competed in 36 meets in three seasons at WVU, while Hornung has amassed 816 career points. • Additionally, junior Emily Holmes-Hackerd and sophomore Kiana Lewis will look to eclipse the 500 career-point mark this season.
Coming off the squad’s 41st appearance in the NCAA Regional Championships, the West Virginia University gymnastics team returns to competition in 2022. Following a somewhat shortened season in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Mountaineers are anxious to return to what they’re used to calling a normal season. The 2021 slate featured a double round-robin conference slate that was capped with a trio of meets against regional rival Pitt, before WVU went on to host the Big 12 Gymnastics Championship and the NCAA Morgantown Regional Gymnastics Championships. This season, West Virginia is scheduled to compete against 13 nonconference opponents, the most since the 2019 campaign. “We are definitely excited to get back to having what we feel is a more normal schedule this year ollowing last season,” 11th-year head coach Jason Butts said. “The team is looking forward to getting back to seeing other teams around the country, outside of just competing against local and conference opponents.” WVU officially opens its 2022 campaign with a dual meet at LSU on Friday, Jan. 7, at 6:45 p.m., inside the Maravich Center, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The Mountaineers open their home slate on Friday, Jan. 21, as they host defending Big 12 Champion Denver inside the WVU Coliseum in Morgantown.

• Five freshmen look to make their Mountaineer career debuts this season: Brooke Alban, Brynn Freehling, Heidi Hartje, Anna Leigh and Laura Soltis • West Virginia is scheduled to compete in a pair of conference meets against league foes Denver and Iowa State, while the Mountaineers will square off against 13 nonconference opponents this year. • WVU opens its season on the road for the third time in the last four seasons, when the Mountaineers travel to LSU on Friday, Jan. 7. West Virginia is 6-11 in season-opening meets under Butts. • The Mountaineers’ postseason slate starts with the 2022 Big 12 Gymnastics Championship, set for March 19, at Magness Arena, in Denver, Colorado. WVU played host to last year’s event, as the conference championship returned to Morgantown for the first time since 2014.

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.

The WVU alumna coached All‑Americans Janàe Cox, Lajuanda Moody, Kristin Quackenbush and Shari Retton and was named the 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.

ALASKA RICHARDSON
JASON BUTTS 8 SEASONS » 2012 - PRESENT RECORD: 110-77-1 Elevated to the head coach position after serving five years as an assistant under 37-year coach Linda Burdette-Good, Butts is determined to put the West Virginia University gymnastics team back on the national state. Following a fantastic first season that saw the Mountaineers secure their first 20-win season since 2008 and earn their league-best seventh EAGL title, Butts guided WVU though a difficult 2013 schedule in its first season in the Big 12 Conference. That WVU team became the first squad in the program’s history to tally 196.0 or better in every home regular-season meet.

CHAMPIONSHIP
APPEARANCES 1982 AIAW CHAMPIONSHIPS Led by unheralded freshman Shari Retton from Fairmont, West Virginia, the 1982 gymnastics team surprised the country by finishing third at the AIAW Championships in Memphis, Tennessee. Coach Linda Burdette’s Mountaineers, at the University’s first-ever national championships, finished behind first-place Florida and runner-up Alabama, and ahead of national powerhouses Georgia, Ohio State, Brigham Young and Washington State, among others. Retton captured First Team All-America honors on vault, uneven parallel bars, floor exercise and the all-around. WVU qualified for the championships by winning the EAIAW Regional at Clarion State. The Mountaineers scored 139.25 points to edge Yale’s 138.35. That title is still WVU’s only regional championship. The 1982 season saw 18 wins against seven losses. The biggest win of the season was a 142.30-142.10 victory against eventual national champion Florida, a meet that WVU won on the last gymnast of the last rotation. The 142.30 points was a school record at the time. Also during the 1982 season, West Virginia beat Duke, Kentucky, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Maryland and Pitt. A side note to the season were Retton’s ties to the athletic world. Her younger sister, Mary Lou, went on to become an Olympic Gold Medalist. Her father, Ronnie, played basketball for the Mountaineers from 1957-59. After winning four letters and graduating, Retton later married Mike Timko, a former Mountaineer quarterback (1985-87). The 1982 season was WVU’s last year in the AIAW after a nine‑year association. The Mountaineers began NCAA competition with the 1983 season. 1995 NCAA CHAMPIONSHIPS After years of being on the outside looking in, the 1995 WVU gymnastics team took it to the next level with an at‑large bid to the 1995 NCAA Championships in Athens, Georgia. The senior‑led group found the right mix of talent, desire, experience and coaching and put it all together when it counted - at the NCAA Southeast Regional. In fact, the whole season was something magical. Ten team records were set or tied throughout the course of the year, while five individual marks were reached. The 15‑6 Mountaineers won their fourth straight Atlantic 10 title and Karla Hairston and Kristin Quackenbush were named Atlantic 10 Gymnasts of the Year, while Umme Salim garnered A10 Freshman of the Year honors.

Coach Linda Burdette was named the NCAA Southeast Regional Coach of the Year. Freshman Adriana Manago earned NACGC/W scholastic All‑America status, while WVU’s first‑ever trip to the NCAA Championships was highlighted by Quackenbush, the talented sophomore all‑arounder, who earned second‑team All‑America honors on the floor exercise. The most rewarding accomplishment of the 1995 season was that WVU’s three seniors, Liz Byrnes, Jenni Kaye and Shannon Migli, overcame injuries that plagued them their first three years in Morgantown to become major contributors in WVU’s run to the championships. 1999 NCAA CHAMPIONSHIPS What appeared initially as a tragedy for the 1999 West Virginia gymnastics team was actually an awakening. The Mountaineers had attained a 17-2 record prior to the East Atlantic Gymnastics League meet and entered the meet as one of only three schools from the EAGL ranked in the top 25. For the first time since the inception of the EAGL in 1996, the Mountaineers failed to win the EAGL crown in 1999. But, despite finishing an uncharacteristic sixth at the EAGL Championships at Maryland, the Mountaineers couldn’t have scripted a more opportune time to amend that setback, regroup and really let their true colors show at the NCAA Regionals held before their home crowd. West Virginia hosted the NCAA Region 6 Championships at the WVU Coliseum, which assembled five of the top-25 teams in the country, including No. 2 Alabama. The Mountaineers showcased their most brilliant talent at this meet and attained a 195.275 team score, placing them second in their region behind Alabama and qualifying them for their second trip to the national championship in five years. Although the Mountaineers placed 12th at the NCAA Championship in Salt Lake City, Utah, coach Linda Burdette had plenty of reasons to be proud of her squad. Five WVU gymnasts earned all-EAGL notice and for the fourth consecutive season, the Mountaineers were undefeated in the Coliseum in regular season competition. One of the most significant of those wins came on Feb. 20, when the Mountaineers defeated Minnesota and North Carolina State, giving Burdette the 400th and 401st victories of her career. She became the fourth coach in school history to reach that milestone. Senior Nikki West punctuated her stellar vaulting career with two more perfect 10.0s in 1999. West scored five 10.0s on vault, tying her with former WVU gymnast Kristin Quakenbush for the most perfect scores in school history.

2000
NCAA CHAMPIONSHIPS From the very start, those around the 2000 gymnastics team knew this team would be a special one. Focused around some exciting newcomers, and perhaps the most storied senior class in school history, the Mountaineers were destined to rewrite the WVU record book. West Virginia posted a 19-10 record and established four of the top 10 team scores in school history, including three of the top four. The Mountaineers also set school event records on the vault and beam and tied the school mark on bars. But despite its record-setting season, WVU struggled at the EAGL Championships, finishing a disappointing fifth. With a sour taste in their mouths, the 2000 Mountaineers were determined to do what no other WVU team had done before - earn a trip to the NCAA Championships for a second straight season. To do that, West Virginia had to finish in the top two slots at the Region 2 Championship meet in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Not an easy task considering the competition, which included No. 3 Utah and top 25 teams Denver and Minnesota. The Mountaineers, largely behind the efforts of seniors Kelly Foley and Danielle Lilly, managed to scrap and claw their way to a second-place finish. West Virginia proved its shaky performance at the EAGL meet to be an aberration by simply being more consistent than the opposition and earning a trip to the NCAA Championship in Boise, Idaho.
Although the Mountaineers finished in 12th place, the 2000 season stands out as one where WVU showed tremendous determination and heart. The individual talent was amazing, but it was how the 2000 Mountaineers jelled together that made the West Virginia coaching staff the proudest. Sophomore Kristen Macrie proved to be the heart and soul of the team and was WVU’s most consistent gymnast throughout the year. Despite not leading the team in any individual event, Macrie’s consistency was her calling card for the season. The freshman class, which was called the best recruiting class ever by coaches in the preseason, lived up to its billing, with TeShawne Jackson and Dinorh Boyd turning in numerous top five finishes, while Amanda Halovanic found her niche for the Mountaineers on vault and floor. But the 2000 season will forever be linked to its senior class of Foley, Lilly, Shirley Lee and Jessica Nonnemacher. Foley and Lilly provided much of the leadership, with each enjoying her finest season as a Mountaineer. Lee saw her season cut short at the midway point, but her early season performances provided the underclassmen with the opportunity to find their stride. One of the lasting images of the 2000 season will be of Nonnemacher, who despite being told by doctors in 1998 that her career was over, returned to compete on bars.

SHARI RETTON 1982-85 Shari Retton Timko was WVU’s first women’s sports All-American, earning first-team honors in the all-around, floor exercise, uneven bars and vault at the 1982 AIAW National Gymnastics Championships in Memphis, Tennessee. A four-year letterwinner from Fairmont, West Virginia, Retton helped the 10th-seeded Mountaineers finish third at the 1982 national championships, posting a third-place individual finish in the all-around (36.30) as a freshman. Retton, a two-time team captain, went on to earn a number of accolades, including NCAA regional balance beam champion, Most Valuable Gymnast and Atlantic 10 Senior of the Year. WVU qualified for the NCAA Regionals each year during her career. She was inducted into the WVU Sports Hall of Fame in 2001. The daughter of Ronnie Retton, who captained WVU’s 1959 NCAA runner-up basketball team, she is the older sister of Olympic champion gymnast Mary Lou Retton; their brother Ron played baseball at WVU. Retton, who is married to former WVU quarterback Mike Timko, currently lives in Houston, Pennsylvania.

SHANE LYONS There’s a reason Shane Lyons was named NACDA Athletics Director of the Year in 2021, it’s because he spends endless hours daily for the betterment of more than 500 student-athletes and their day-to-day needs in order to help them succeed in the classroom and in competition. His open lines of communications have made him a popular role model for WVU student-athletes and coaches. His honest, fair and caring approach has led to success on and off the field. Whether it’s regularly scheduled meetings with the student-athletes or his open-door office policy, Lyons has his finger on the pulse of his department. In the past year, his success and work ethic has brought national exposure to West Virginia University as Lyons’ presence is wanted on many national and prestigious committees. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he chaired the all-important Football Oversight Committee and played a key role in the sport overcoming, adjusting and managing the difficulties to complete the 2020 season. There’s no doubt that Lyons’ even-keeled demeanor, ability to think outside the box and solve problems played a major role in having a football season in 2020. He is also a member of the NCAA Council and will chair that distinguished committee in 2021-22. Additionally, Lyons served on the NCAA Working Group on Transfers, the Football Competition Committee and the NCAA Wrestling Academics Enhancement Working Group. His work with WVU President E. Gordon Gee’s senior leadership team and the Big 12 Conference has brought additional respect and positive exposure to his department and the University. He’s been a member of the Big 12 Administration Committee, Finance and Budget Committee and the Game Management and Officiating Subcommittee, while chairing the Big 12 athletic directors committee in 2018. In moving his department forward, his Climbing Higher facilities master plan will keep West Virginia a strong Power 5 institution and position his department for growth and continued success. The Time2Climb fundraising membership drive he initiated in 2021 already is getting new donors involved in Mountaineer athletics and helping the Mountaineer Athletic Club grow and plan for the future. From training, nutrition, medical upgrades and competitiveness, Lyons has already left many accomplishments and success in his rearview mirror and the coming year will add to that portfolio. He will officially unveil a complete overhaul of football’s Milan Puskar Center and open a new Olympic Sports Performance Center that will benefit hundreds of student-athletes, bringing them together in one beautiful complex. Lyons inherited aging sports venues in 2015 and worked hard to fundraise, plan and implement more than $200 million in longoverdue facility improvements. One of the end results of his efforts will take place in the fall of 2021, when all 18 varsity sports teams will have their own private and dedicated locker rooms for the first time in school history. In 2019, Lyons commissioned and announced an economic impact study that showed Mountaineer Athletics produced more than $300 million to the state’s economy and more than $78 million to the local economy. And with the local economy in mind, Lyons’s proudly saw the formal opening of a
new $45 million aquatic and track facility that not only benefits WVU, but also local schools and the entire community. Already, the facility has brought thousands of guests to Morgantown as it has hosted such events as the Big 12 swimming and diving championships as well as the NCAA zone diving competitions. When he stresses academics, he means it as a department-high 341 student-athletes made the Big 12 Commissioner’s Honor Roll and WVU’s overall department GPA was 3.34 last year. WVU featured 251 athletes with a 3.00 GPA and 90 with a perfect 4.0 for the 2021 spring semester. Also, a Clinical and Sport Psychology unit that he formed along with creating the department’s first Diversity, Equity and Inclusion committee furthers his belief in helping the total student-athlete, and his commitment to their well-being and advancement. Ask him and he’ll tell you it’s not his department, but West Virginia’s department, and part of his job is to develop our country’s future leaders. He cares, and the proof is in what he has accomplished for Mountaineer athletics in the past six years. Lyons came to West Virginia after spending more than three years as the deputy director of athletics and chief operating officer at Alabama. He worked closely on day-to-day strategic leadership, the direction of the overall Crimson Tide Athletic program and was the direct second in charge. 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 dealing with NCAA regulatory matters. In addition, he served as the ACC’s human resource manager and was responsible for the administration, negotiation and mediation of the employee benefits program and managing the conference’s organizational policies and procedures. He was part of the senior administrative team for ACC events, including the football championship game, the men’s basketball tournament and men’s and women’s NCAA basketball events. Prior to working at the ACC, Lyons served as associate athletics director for compliance at Big 12 member Texas Tech from 1998 to 2001. During that time, Lyons assumed responsibility for the leadership, administration and implementation of a comprehensive NCAA compliance program with emphasis toward rules education and extensive monitoring systems. He also served as oversight administrator for several of the Red Raiders’ athletic teams and had financial and operational supervision of the strength and conditioning, nutritional and sports medicine units. Before joining Texas Tech, Lyons worked at the NCAA for almost 10 years as a senior membership services representative, where he was responsible for the oversight and coordination of rules and interpretations for the 25 membership service representatives and was the staff liaison to various NCAA standing committees. Lyons began his career in college athletics in July 1988 as assistant commissioner of

the Big South Conference. With the Big South, he was in charge of conference-wide compliance and championships. A native of Parkersburg, West Virginia, and a graduate of Parkersburg High, Lyons was a standout basketball player for the Big Reds. He earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in sport management from WVU in 1987 and 1988, respectively. Lyons, the University’s 12th athletic director, and his wife, Emily, a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, have two children: Cameron and Brooke. Cameron is a graduate student-athlete and a member of the football team at UNC-Charlotte and Brooke is a freshman at WVU.

SCORING
INFORMATION In collegiate team competition, six gymnasts perform on each of the four apparatuses (vault, uneven bars, balance beam and floor exercise). The five best individual scores per event comprise the cumulative team total. Collegiate competition requires at least two judges to evaluate the score of an athlete’s performance. Their scores are averaged to arrive at a final mark. A perfect team score is 200, with top collegiate scores ranging between 193.00 and 198.00. Optional routines, choregraphed to express the gymnasts’ skills that they perform best, are based on a score of 9.5, with a possibility of an additional five-tenths for completing more difficult skills and or combinations. Judges use the following categories to evaluate optional routines: Value parts (difficult)
2.20
Special requirements
2.00
Bonus elements
0.50
Execution/composition 5.30 Total 10.00
VAULT • Vault requires speed, quickness and explosive power • Vaults are divided into four categories: handsprings, forward saltos, backward saltos and vaults from a roundoff • New in 2016, only certain vaults are assigned a start value of up to 10.0: Yurchenko pike full, Yurchenko half front layout (Arabian style) and a Yurchenko/Tsukahara Tuck 1 ½ • Yurchenko layout full and Yurchenko layout half vaults are now assigned start values of up to 9.95 • Gymnasts must remain motionless upon landing or a deduction will be taken
UNEVEN BARS • A complete routine comprises 10 to 15 moves, consisting mainly of swinging and suspension skills utilizing both bars with many regrasps • A change of direction is required in the routine, while pauses for concentration, extra swings and uncharacteristic elements are to be avoided • Gymnasts must change bars two times and must have at least two flight elements
[
123
]
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
FLOOR EXERCISE • Floor exercise is a combination of dance, tumbling and acrobatics performed to music • Creative and dynamic changes in rhythm and energy levels help to create an exciting routine where composition plays an important role • A routine must last between 1:10 and 1:30 and is required to have two or three tumbling “passes” • Gymnasts must balance the difficultly of their tumbling skills and dance skills and should finish the routine as strongly as it was started • Specific deductions are taken for stepping off the mat and for being out of sync with the music
