Additionally, the program exceeded 800 victories all-time, while Butts also earned his 150th career win during the campaign.
In addition to the team’s milestones, Butts also oversaw the culmination of the storied career of Abbie Pierson in 2024.

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.
THE ASSISTANT YEARS
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 allaround 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 (199496) and the UGA Gym Dog Camp (2004-06). He competed as a competitive gymnast for 10 years, reaching Class I status, and he was a Junior Olympic National Qualifier.
Butts received a bachelor’s degree in business administration and management from Georgia in 2006. He received a master’s degree in athletic coaching education at WVU in 2012.
ASSOCIATE HEAD COACH TRAVIS DOAK
Travis Doak enters his 17th year at his alma mater and his 11th 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 13 NCAA Regional Championship appearances, earned one conference title and compiled an overall record of 203-145-1 (.583).
The Mountaineers hit several milestones during the 2024 campaign, with the biggest being the celebration of the program’s 50-year anniversary. The WVU gymnastics team’s varsity status dates back to 1974, and the squad celebrated the milestone throughout the 2024 season. Additionally, the program exceeded 800 victories all-time with a win over Kent State on Jan. 28, 2024.
Doak helped coach the Mountaineers to a 12-9 record in 2023, including a 1-2 mark in Big 12 Conference competition with their first regular-season Big 12 victory since 2017. WVU earned its 43rd NCAA Regional appearance with an automatic bye into the NCAA Pittsburgh Regional Second Round, bypassing the First Round, play-in meet for the first time since 2019. At the Big 12 Gymnastics Championship, WVU finished in third place for the second straight year.
West Virginia posted a season-high score of 197.325 on March 5 to mark the highest team total since
2004, reaching the 197.0 threshold for the first time since 2004. The Mountaineers also recorded event scores of 49.425 on vault and 49.475 on beam in that performance, which also were their highest totals since the 2004 campaign.
WVU continued its season-long streak of 49.0+ scores on floor exercise, where it remained ranked inside the top 25 on Road to Nationals throughout the year. The Mountaineers reached a season-best 49.575 on floor on Feb. 19, its best score since 2016, with all six gymnasts scoring a 9.9 or higher. West Virginia finished the year ranked No. 19 on vault and floor, as well as No. 30 overall, in the Road to Nationals rankings.
In the classroom, 11 Mountaineers earned a spot on the 2023 Winter Academic All-Big 12 First Team. Additionally, Emily Holmes-Hackerd and Abbie Pierson were named recipients of the Dr. Gerald Lage Academic Achievement Award, the Big 12’s highest academic honor.
In 2022, Doak helped the Mountaineers finish the year at 13-5 on their way to a record-breaking campaign that consisted of an NCAA Regional Championships appearance, a stretch of 11 straight wins and six team scores that rank inside the program’s top 50 all-time. The season culminated with a thirdplace finish at the 2022 Big 12 Championship. The squad recorded a season-high and a program-best
at the championship, earning its highest finish at the conference meet since 2017.
Doak and the Mountaineers were recognized at the conference and regional levels for their accomplishments in 2022. The honors began with Kendra Combs and Abbie Pierson garnering Big 12 Gymnast of the Week accolades, before Combs was named to the All-Big 12 Team and Rachel Hornung earned a spot on the All-Big 12 Championship Team. At season’s end, Doak and assistant coach Zaakira Muhammad were named the Region 6 Co-Assistant Coaches of the Year by the Women’s Collegiate Gymnastics Association (WCGA). The duo became the first WVU coaches to earn the honor since 2010.
Additionally, Doak helped the West Virginia floor exercise lineup continue its national prominence in 2022, as it debuted at No. 4 in the Road to Nationals rankings on Jan. 17. It marked the team’s highest ranking since at least 1998, and the first time WVU’s floor squad had appeared inside the Road to Nationals top 10 since 2001. The squad then went on to rank inside the top 25 each week of the regular season.
Academically, nine Mountaineers earned a spot on the 2022 Academic All-Big 12 Gymnastics First Team, including four gymnasts who were recognized with 4.0 grade point averages.
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 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.
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 (allaround) 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.
The Mountaineers collected four individual league titles en route to the team win, with Sloanhoffer finishing first on vault, bars and the all-around, and Deal taking the win on beam.
Sloanhoffer ended the season ranked nationally on vault, beam and the all-around. Four gymnasts were ranked on vault in the Southeast Region, while three gymnasts each were ranked on bars and floor. As a team, the Mountaineers ranked in the nation’s top 10 on floor for three straight weeks. The team never dropped out of the top 25 on floor and ended the year ranked No. 21.
Doak was instrumental in the team’s success in 2011, as he guided the vault and floor lineups to the No. 1 and No. 2 EAGL rankings, respectively. Those lineups also ranked No. 17 and No. 21, respectively, in the nation.
Integral in the development of Sloanhoffer, the rookie finished with nine EAGL weekly honors and first-team recognition on vault, floor and beam. She finished the year ranked No. 1 in the league 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.
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, 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. 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 events. He helped PSU sign four top-10 Junior Olympic finalists and guided the Nittany Lions to a 17-9 record. Doak also served as an assistant at New Hampshire in 2006-07. His responsibilities included team workouts, recruiting, video work and community service initiatives.
He began his coaching career in 2004 as a volunteer assistant at West Virginia, working with spotting, fundraising and recruit evaluations.

Prior to her time at Lindenwood, Yamzon spent one season as a graduate assistant coach at her alma mater, Arkansas, in 2021. That season, the Razorbacks advanced to the NCAA Tuscaloosa Regional Final, narrowly missing a berth into the NCAA Championships with a third-place finish in the regional final.
Her graduate assistantship followed a standout four-year career at Arkansas, in which she was a staple in the all-around lineup. She was just the second freshman in program history to qualify for the NCAA Championships, and she finished her career competing as the leadoff in every event in 45 meets and competing 186 routines as a Razorback.

SEASON PREVIEW
Following the celebration of the program’s 50-year anniversary in 2024, the West Virginia University gymnastics team returns to competition for the 2025 campaign.
This season, West Virginia is set to host four home meets, welcoming a pair of Big 12 Conference newcomers to the WVU Coliseum for the first time. The 2025 campaign officially kicks off on Saturday, Jan. 4, with the Mountaineers opening the season on the road for the third time in the last four seasons. WVU will kick off the year with a trip to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to compete against Temple.
Here’s what you need to know heading into the new campaign:
• West Virginia is led by 14th-year head coach Jason Butts. He is assisted by associate head coach Travis Doak, who enters his 17th season with the program and 11th as the associate head coach.
• Assistant head coach Zaakira Muhammad, a former All-American at WVU, enters her fifth campaign as a member of the coaching staff, while assistant coach Jessica Yamzon begins her second season with the team.
• The Mountaineers return to competition following an 8-15 season and fifth-place finish at the Big 12 Championship in 2024.
• Eleven of the 13 Mountaineers returning to the 2025 squad earned time in at least one lineup last season, with nine reaching the podium. In all, WVU collected 58 podium finishes in 2023.
• Seniors Brooke Alban, Anna Leigh and Sierra Muns return to lead West Virginia this season.
• Alban is the most experienced gymnast with 37 meets competed and 708.125 career points. She will look to surpass the 1,000-career point threshold this season.
• Leigh and Muns also are expected to be strong senior leaders for WVU this season, as they both crossed the 500-career point mark last season.
• Fifth-year senior transfer Trinity Macy joins the Mountaineers this year after spending time at Pitt and Eastern Michigan during her collegiate career. Macy is expected to make an immediate impact on WVU’s bars and floor lineups.
• Seven freshmen look to make their Mountaineer career debuts this season: Karleigh DiCello, Riley Maness, Sophia Rice, Kaelyn Skeel, Emerson Smith, Taylor Tuohy and Eden Webster
• West Virginia is scheduled to compete against all six of its Big 12 Conference foes this season, including league newcomers Arizona, Arizona State and Utah.
• WVU opens its Big 12 slate at Denver on Jan. 26, inside Magness Arena in Denver, Colorado
• The Mountaineers will square off against nine nonconference opponents this year.
• WVU opens its season on the road for the third time in the last four seasons, as the Mountaineers travel to Philadelphia, Pa., on Jan. 4 to take on Temple.
• West Virginia is 11-13 in season-opening meets under Butts.
• The Mountaineers’ postseason slate starts with the 2025 Big 12 Gymnastics Championship, set for March 22 inside the Maverik Center in West Valley City, Utah
• The 2025 championship will be split into two sessions for the first time in conference history.

TEAM AWARDS
THE LINDA BURDETTE-GOOD AWARD FOR THE MOST VALUABLE GYMNAST
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 program. Each spring, members of the WVU gymnastics team vote on the gymnast who best exemplifies these characteristics to honor the memory of John Quackenbush.

Nanette Schnaible
1 Season • 1974 • Record: 5-2
Armed with a thrifty $6,000 budget, Schnaible, West Virginia’s first gymnastics coach, took a team consisting of mostly former club gymnasts and guided WVU to a 5-2 record. Schnaible’s lone season at the helm of the fledgling program produced wins against Pitt, Fairmont State (twice) and Frostburg State (twice).

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 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. She retired in 2011 after 37 highly successful and memorable seasons.

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.

WVU VICE PRESIDENT/DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS WREN BAKER

a bowl victory, a men’s soccer college cup appearance and a first-ever baseball Super Regional were just some of the big moments in year two under Baker, and his high-energy and success have been contagious for Mountaineer athletics in competition and in the classroom.
athletic success and best-ever academic achievement by Mountaineer student-athletes have highlighted Baker’s tenure, while the department also turned in its second-best fundraising numbers ever during the 2024 athletic year. Baker’s success at WVU did not come overnight. He first traveled the state to learn its culture, met Mountaineer fans from all over the world and immersed himself on what it meant to be a proud West Virginian. the results of Baker’s approach and work ethic speak volumes and have re-energized West Virginia athletics. Despite already hiring five new head coaches, creating a 20-year facility master plan and developing the department’s strategic vision for the coming years, Baker’s plate continues to be full. Budget concerns, a competitive niL structure, lack of premium seating options in his two major sports venues and new revenue generation are being addressed by his administration to solidify the future of West Virginia athletics.

Baker led record fundraising years at north Texas, and the overall top five largest gifts ever at UNT came under Baker’s leadership.
Prior to north texas, Baker was the deputy director of athletics at Missouri from 2015 to 2016, serving as the top advisor and chief of staff.
From 2011-13, Baker was athletics director at ncaa Division ii power Northwest Missouri State. From 2006-11, Baker served as the first athletics director at rogers state in claremore, oklahoma, where he was also the school’s first men’s basketball coach.
