At the conclusion of her 25th season as head coach of the Rutgers women’s gymnastics program in 2011, Chrystal Chollet-Norton plans to retire. She has brought the program to unprec-edented heights during her tenure and will be sorely missed by

the university community.

Chrystal Chollet-Norton enters her silver anniversary season as head coach of the Rutgers Univer-sity women’s gymnastics program. The 2011 campaign will serve as Chollet-Norton’s final one as the veteran Scarlet Knight mentor has announced her plans to retire at the conclusion of the season.

Chollet-Norton was elevated to full-time status in July of 1999 after 13 seasons as a part-time coach. During her tenure at The State

University of New Jersey, she has made significant progress in moving Rutgers’ gymnastics program toward becoming a national power.

Since her first year at Rutgers, Chollet-Norton has consistently upgraded the pro-gram and schedule, pitting her teams against strong Division I opponents, includ-ing Penn State, George Washington, Maryland, Alaska, New Hampshire, West Virginia, Towson and North Carolina, and is always looking to challenge her squad against other elite programs in an effort to showcase her program on a national stage. Her final season “On the Banks” will be no different as the Scarlet Knights have made a strong commitment to taking the program to the next level. A fixture at the United States Collegiate Nationals in the postseason (the Scarlet Knights placed fourth in the USAG Nationals last winter), Rutgers is aiming for a berth in the NCAA Championships in 2011.

Known for her wealth of expertise in gymnastics, Chollet-Norton was recently ap-pointed the NCAA Northeast Regional Advisory Chair. She has been responsible for collecting and finalizing the team selection for the NCAA Northeast Regional qualifiers each season. This is her third time holding this position as she also served from 2000-04. She is also on the EAGL Conference Committee as secre-tary for the Conference for the last six years.

In the classroom, Chollet-Norton’s student-athletes have seen unprecedented success. Last season, 18 gymnasts were named to the EAGL All-Academic team – the most in the league. Ten Scarlet Knights were named USAG Collegiate Schol-ar-Athletes last season.

She has more than 200 wins at Rutgers and is poised to build on that stellar mark with a plethora of talent returning in 2011, following an injury-plagued season in 2010. Despite the setbacks, Chollet-Norton sees promise in a young group of gymnasts that already have shown an abundance of potential in the fall.

Six Scarlet Knights have earned All-America honors in the last two seasons with four returning in 2011 to make for a strong squad this winter.

The 2007 team finished sixth in the highly-competitive East Atlantic Gymnastic League (EAGL) Championships and qualified for the NCAA Regionals as well as the USA Gymnastics (USAG) Championships.

Four members of her 2006 team earned First Team All-America honors at the USAG National Championships- further proof that Chollet -Norton’s teams are recognized on a national level and possess the talent needed to compete with the very best in the sport.

The Scarlet Knights also enjoyed a standout season in 2005, as they were named USAG Collegiate National Champions. In addition to earning the championship crown, Stephanie Zick and Beth Fittery received All-America honors and Chollet-Norton was named the Coach of the Year. Rutgers was also one of six teams to qualify for the 2005 NCAA Northeast Regionals in Durham, N.H.

As a testament to Chollet-Norton’s success in nurturing well-rounded student-athletes, Zick and Fittery were also the recipients of the Rutgers Athletic Direc-

tor’s Award. The award is given to the student-athlete, who has accumulated a grade point average of 3.50 or higher; earned All-America honors nationally or regionally during the year of award consideration; and has demonstrated leader-ship and character or performed community service, during her time at Rutgers.

In 2004, Chollet-Norton coached five RU gymnasts to the Northeast Regional. It was also a big year for the RU mentor on an individual note, as she notched her 200th career victory and 150th at Rutgers on Jan. 24 against James Madison.

In 2002, Chollet-Norton saw her program elevated into the national spotlight as Courtney Turner advanced to the NCAA National Championships in the floor exer-cise after tying for first at the Northeast Regionals at Penn State.

During the 1999 season, Chollet-Norton and the Scarlet Knights once again eclipsed many of the team and individual scoring records. As the season came to an end, the squad consistently set new marks in every meet, culminating in an unprecedented 193.875 mark — good for second place — at the USA Gymnastics National Invitation Tournament, where they upset the number-two seed, Bowling Green.Another milestone in the history of the program came in 1998, when Chollet-Norton and her squad traveled to Pittsburgh to participate in their first-ever NCAA Regional competition. Despite a seventh-place finish, it brought Rutgers well-deserved recognition from the gymnastics community.

From 1998-2000, Chollet-Norton was awarded the Rutgers Director’s Award for the team with the highest cumulative grade point average. In 1995, she was instrumental in guiding Rutgers toward its affiliation with the EAGL.

Now an NCAA-affiliated league, the EAGL has become one of the premiere colle-giate women’s gymnastics leagues. In 1998, Rutgers served as the venue for the league championship, one of the most successful championships to date, which set a league attendance record at the time.

Prior to being named full-time at Rutgers, Chollet-Norton was a health and physi-cal education teacher in the Bridgewater-Raritan school district for 26 years. In addition, she has been rated as an International Brevet Gymnastics official since 1980. The Brevet rating qualifies her to judge international competitions; she again passed the Brevet Course in Indianapolis, Ind., in July, 2009.

During the summer of 1986, Chollet-Norton served as a gymnastics judge at the United States Olympic Festival in Houston, Texas, and in 1987 she was a judge at the Pan American Games in Indianapolis. She again visited Indianapolis as a judge’s assistant for the 1991 World’s Gymnastics Championships, which was the preliminary for the 1992 Olympics. She also served as a Training Site Coor-dinator at the gymnastics events for the 1996 Olympics Games in Atlanta, Ga., where she was responsible for coordinating and overseeing the training sched-ules of all men’s and women’s participating teams. She played a major role in the daily operations of all training for the athletes during the months of July and August in the gymnastics venue. She has also served as a judge’s assistant at the 1998 Goodwill Games, held at the Nassau Coliseum in Long Island, N.Y.

A 1973 graduate of East Stroudsburg University, Chollet-Norton earned a bach-elor’s degree in health and physical education. While at East Stroudsburg, she was a four-year varsity letterwinner in gymnastics, competing on beam, floor, and vault. She received her Master’s Degree in Health Education from Trenton State College (now The College of New Jersey) in 1975. Chollet-Norton later served as head coach of the school’s women’s gymnastics team from 1979-1986, and coached the Lions to the Division III Nationals and AIAW III Regionals and Nation-als. Prior to her stint with the Lions, she served as head coach at Bridgewater-Raritan High School from 1973-79. During her 30-year career, she has compiled a 270-260-1 record, including a 233-235-1 mark in her 24 seasons at Rutgers.

Chollet-Norton and her husband, James Norton, reside in Whitehouse Station, N.J.

MARY PETERSAssociate head Coach

Peters enters her eighth season with the program and third as the Scarlet Knights’ Associate Head Coach.

The former Rutgers gymnast was elevated to her current role in the fall of 2008 and directs the Vault, beam, floor exercise and choreography while coordinating the schedul-ing of on and off season practices. Peters also oversees the Scarlet Knights’ off-campus recruiting efforts, compliance, travel and the academic progress of the student-athletes.

Under Peters’ tutelage, three Scarlet Knights have earned First Team All-American honors in both the balance beam and floor exercise at the USA Gymnastics Collegiate Nationals the last two seasons. Peters continues to guide a strong beam and floor exercise program.

She has guided five gymnasts to All-East Atlantic Gymnastics League honors on the beam and five more gymnasts to all-league accolades in the floor exercise since arriving in 2004. Three Scarlet Knights were named to the All-EAGL beam and floor exercise teams the last two seasons. As a gymnast for the Scarlet Knights, Peters was a four-year letterwinner (1991-1994) and a standout on beam and floor. She received the Rutgers Student-Athlete of the Month Award for Community Service in 1993 and was the team’s MVP in 1994. Peters also worked with Devlin Gymnastics in Wall, N.J., as an instructor and coach and was the director of the women’s high school Jersey Optional Gymnastics (JOGA) team program. She was also the head coach of the USAG Level 7-10 competitive team program which produced several state champions and individual qualifiers at Level 10. Peters is a certified member of the National Association of Women’s Gymnastics Judges (NAWGJ). She earned her National Gymnastics Judges Rating in July, 2009. Peters is a Certified Per-sonal Trainer after completing the curriculum at the National Academy of Sports Medicine in the summer of 2007.

A January 1995 graduate of Rutgers College, Peters received her degree in psychology with a minor in women’s studies. Peters grew up in Pennington, N.J., where she now resides with her husband CJ. The couple has two children, a daughter, Julia and a son, Rex.

LOUIS LEVINEAssistant Coach

Louis Levine enters his third season as an assistant coach for the Scarlet Knights, after joining the program in the fall of 2008.

Since his arrival, six Scarlet Knights have earned All-America honors and the 2010 squad advanced to the finals of the United States Collegiate National Championships season. Levine has helped bring in strong recruiting classes that have provided immediate

dividends for the program.

Before returning to his home state, the Springfield, N.J. native spent the three years as the Assistant Director of the International Gymnastics Camp in Stroudsburg, Pa.

Levine’s coaching experience includes three seasons as the assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at his alma matter the University of Michigan. While a member of the Wolverines’ staff, he coached 2003 NCAA Vault Champion Andrew DiGiore. Levine also oversaw all aspects of Michigan’s recruiting operations and helped organize the program’s operating budget. During his time at Michigan, he served on the planning committee for the program’s freshman student-athlete orientation program, helping mentor newcomers. He has coached two Junior National Team members, two Senior National Team members and a Junior National Champion in the All-Around.

Levine also spent time with the United States of America Gymnastics team in Daegu, South Korea where he was an assistant coach for the World University Games. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Michigan in 2002 and MBA from the American InterContinental University in 2006.

While an athlete at Michigan, Levine helped the Wolverines to a pair of Big Ten titles in 1999 and 2000 and the 1999 NCAA Championship. He was a two-time recipient of the Coaches Appreciation Award at the program’s annual awards banquet.

KATHY GALLI Athletic Trainer

Kathy Galli enters her 25th year as an athletic trainer with collegiate gymnastics, her 22nd with the Scarlet Knights and her 20th season with Rutgers’ head gymnastics coach Chrystal Chollet-Norton. Galli has also worked with the crew program during her 22 years “On the Banks.” She is a 1983 University of Rhode Island graduate, having earned a Bachelor of Science in Physical Education with an emphasis in Athletic Training. In 1984, she received her Master of Science in Athletic

Training from the University of Arizona and has been NATA certified since.

2011 OUTLOOK

As head coach Chrystal Chollet-Norton embarks on her final season “On the Banks” her program is rich in talent and full of promise. A group of eight seniors will provide leadership to a standout group of talented underclassmen that expect to continue to see an important role in the regular lineup.

A group of 20 letterwinners return to form a talented and experienced roster. Coupled with a group of six newcomers, including Colombia National Team member Luisa Leal, that have shown an abundance of promise in preseason workouts, RU will look to improve on its highest scores from a season ago. The Scarlet Knights will have strong depth in each of their rotations and, barring injuries, can expect to utilize a lot of their talented roster in each meet.

Rutgers, which earned a spot in the finals of the United States Col-legiate National Championships in 2010, has elevated the program to compete in the NCAA Championships this winter. With the support of everyone associated with the program, the Scarlet Knights have made it their goal to compete with the best of the best in collegiate women’s gymnastics.

“The coaching staff is excited about this year,” said Chollet-Norton, the 25-year Scarlet Knight mentor who announced her intentions to retire at the conclusion of the season. “This team has great chemistry. They want to take this program to the next level and are working towards this goal. The team came back in great shape and the fall training has been outstanding. This is an exciting time for Rutgers gymnastics. We are a sleeping giant that will be a team to be reckon with this season. We are looking forward to surprising a lot of teams this season.

“As a head coach entering her last season, I told my team to have a

great time every day in practice, to smile and enjoy and to surprise our competitors,” Chollet-Norton added.

ALL-ArOUNd

The Scarlet Knights return their most valuable gymnast from a year ago in Jenna Zito. The sophomore took home the prestigious award in her first season “On the Banks” with impressive showings in the all-around. She was honored as an All-EAGLE gymnast in the all-around and has improved on her 37.743 average. Fellow sophomore Nicole Romano (37.502 average last season) and junior Nicole Schwartz (36.850 average last season) each have experience competing in the all-around. Several promising newcomers may also compete in the all-around for the Scarlet Knights.

“This season will see a strong class of all-arounders,” said Chollet-Norton. “Our top all-arounder is returning in Jenna Zito. She has had a great pre-season and is looking sharp for the season. Incoming fresh-men Luisa Leal, Alexis Gunzelman and Alyssa Straub may also perform in the all-around for us. All three have shown strong skills so far.”

VAULTING

Senior Kiah Banfield headlines a strong group in the vault. She aver-aged a 9.543 in the vault last season as one of the Scarlet Knights’ top vaulters. The departure of last season’s graduating seniors and standout vaulters Alyssa Lewandowski and Laura Sevarino will certainly be missed, but RU will display a solid unit with an abundance of depth. Junior Nicole Schwartz and sophomores Jenna Zito and Nicole Romano each have extensive experience in the vault, while junior Danae Johnson was a regular in the vault before suffering a season-ending injury last season.

“The vaulting team will have more depth and experience than we have had in a long time,” said Chollet-Norton. “With the return of our top vaulters, Kiah Banfield, Danae Johnson, Maddie Zwiebel, Jenna Zito and Nicole Romano we will have a lot of experience in the lineup. Kiah will be competing at a higher level vault for us this season. We also have several top freshmen to add to our depth in this event. Newcomers who will make an impact on the vault will be Luisa Leal, Alexis Gunzelman, Alyssa Straub and transfer Danielle D’Delia. We also expect to see

Kerry Silverman and Leigh Heinbaugh contribute on the vault.

“This is the first season that our vaulting team will have a line-up of all 9.9 and 10.0 start values which will add a lot to the overall team score. The coaching staff is excited about our vaulting team. We have developed into a very strong team which we hope leads to great scores during the season. Our vaulting team has moved to the same level withthe top teams in the nation.”

BArS

With eight Scarlet Knights returning that have experience on the bars, the 2011 lineup will be another strong rotation for RU. Headlining the group is First Team All-American Erica Gerlach, who placed third on the bars at the United States Collegiate Nationals last April. The gradu-ation of bars standout Prishani Seebadri will have an effect, but RU brings a plethora of talent to the 2011 line-up. Sophomore Emma-Rose Trentacosti (9.070 average) competed in every meet on the bars last season, while fellow sophomores Nicole Romano (9.310) and Jenna Zito (9.332) were regulars in the bars line-up in 2010. Fellow sophomore Jayne Jeffreys and junior Nicole Schwartz and senior Ellese Gold have experience in the event as well.

“This year’s bars line-up will be one of great experience,” said Chollet-Norton. “We are returning several leaders in Erica (Sunny) Gerlach, Jenna Zito, Nicole Romano, Jayne Jeffreys and Emma-Rose Trentacosti who will help guide our newcomers. Freshman Luisa Leal, a Colombian National Team member, as well as Alexandria Ivol, Alexis Gunzelman, Alyssa Straub and transfer Danielle D’Elia will have a major impact on the bars. The unit has more depth than we have had in several years and these girls have the potential to score a 9.8 or higher on their rou-tines. We now have the depth to interchange the line-up and rest team members throughout the year.”

BALANCE BEAM

Returning to the balance beam line-up are six Scarlet Knights who have experience in the event. Sophomore Emma-Rose Trentacosti was one of RU’s top competitors on the balance beam last season with an average score of 9.482 in the event. Senior Leigh Heinbaugh (9.236 average last season) and junior Nicole Schwartz (9.337 average last season)

as well as sophomore Jenna Zito (9.304 average last season) will also play an important role in the balance beam line-up in 2011. Heinbaugh advanced to the finals of the balance beam and earned First Team All-American honors in the event at the United States Collegiate Nationals last season. She will look to build on her experience in 2011.

“Once again, we expect the balance beam to be one of our most suc-cessful events,” said Chollet-Norton. “Leigh Heinbaugh, Nicole Schwartz, Maddie Zwiebel, Emma-Rose Trentacosti, Jenna Zito and Nicole Rose make for a very good line-up. Newcomers Luisa Leal, Holy Murray, Alexis Gunzelman and Alyssa Straub could also have a major impact in this event. All these newcomers have USA regional and national level competition experience and will add great depth to the line-up.”

FLOOr EXErCISE

The floor exercise has been one of RU’s top events in recent years and this year should be no different. RU averaged 48.044 in the floor exercise in 2010 and bring back several top gymnasts in the event this winter. A solid group of returning letterwinners who have excelled in the event make for a promising showing in 2011. Senior Kiah Banfield (9.682 average last season) and sophomores Jenna Zito (9.650 aver-age last season) and Nicole Romano (9.498 average last season) will lead the group. Junior Danae Johnson, who earned First Team All-Amer-ica honors in the floor exercise as a freshman in 2009, hopes to return from injury last season to perform at a high level.

“This year should be an exciting year for the floor exercise,” said Chollet-Norton. “With a strong returning class and a solid group of newcomers, this year’s squad should be one the best we have had in the past several seasons. The team is returning Kiah Banfield, Nicole Romano, Jenna Zito, Nicole Schwartz and Maddie Zwiebel, who will provide a strong foundation in this event. Several newcomers could have an immediate impact, including Luisa Leal, Alyssa Straub, Alexis Gunzel-man and Danielle D’Elia. We hope to see scores in the 9.8 or higher range in this event this season.”

2010 SEASON REVIEWThe Scarlet Knights’ standout three-member senior class combined with a talented group of underclassman to display strong performances throughout the year and well into the postseason to make the 2010 a memorable one. The squad reached the finals of the United States Collegiate Nationals, placing fourth overall and in the postseason invitational.

The successful campaign saw five Scarlet Knights earn All-America honors with three of those standout student-athletes returning in 2011. Erica Gerlach showcased her talent on the bars, placing third overall at the USAG Nation-als and was selected a First Team All-American. Joining her in the prestigious group were seniors Laura Sevarino and Alyssa Lewandowski, junior Leigh Heinbaugh and freshman Nicole Romano.

RU’s freshman class paid an immediate role to the Scarlet Knights’ success in 2010, highlighted by newcomer Jenna Zito, who was named the team’s Most Valuable Gymnast in her first year of collegiate competition. Zito competed in the all-around where she averaged a score of 37.743. Fellow newcomers Nicole Romano and Emma-Rose Trentacosti were also regulars in the Scarlet Knights’ line-up. Romano averaged a score of 37.502 in the all-around and Trentatcosti, a bars and balance beam specialist, averaged score of 9.070 and 9.482, respectfully, in each event.

The Scarlet Knights’ senior class was led by all-arounder Laura Sevarino, who averaged a score of 37.566 in the all-around. Alyssa Lewandwoski was a regular in the vault and floor exercise rotation for RU, averaging a score of 9.630 and 9.582, respectfully, in each event. Prishani Seebadri returned from off-season knee surgery to excel on the bars where she averaged a score of 9.408.

Rutgers posted 10 wins against a very challenging slate of meets in 2010. The Scarlet Knights held their own against the nation’s elite in the EAGL and posted some of their highest team scores in recent years. RU sent its seniors out in style on March 13 in a quad meet against Towson, Bridgeport and Yale. The Scarlet Knights posted their highest score since 2005 with a 192.675 in the final home meet of the season. Rutgers also recorded season-high scores on the bars (47.450), balance beam (48.275) and in the floor exercise (48.875) in the meet.

The quad meet was the culmination of hard work and dedication to bringing the program to the elite level it strives for. Senior Day for RU was one of several highlights the program enjoyed throughout the season.

The Scarlet Knights opened their season with a home meet against New Hamp-shire in early January where they dropped a hard-fought 189.725-188.925 decision to the Wildcats. Next up for RU was a tough road meet at EAGL front-runner NC State. Rutgers scored a 188.100 in the meet led by senior Laura Sevarino 9.725 in the vault and 9.700 in the floor exercise to place third in each event.

Rutgers rebounded next time out to post its first victory of the 2010 campaign with a 190.725-186.100 win at Penn. Sevarino once again earned the spot-light with a career-best 38.625 in the all-around for the Scarlet Knights. She registered a career-high 9.825 to capture the floor exercise title and scored a 9.700 to win the vault crown. Freshmen Jenna Zito and Emma-Rose Trenta-costi tied for top honors on the balance beam with a 9.725.

RU made it two in a row with a 188.550-187.775 victory against Temple four days later. Junior Kiah Banfield took the floor exercise title with a 9.700, while Zito captured the bars crown with a 9.500.

Next up for RU was a quad meet against three very strong opponents in Maryland, West Virginia and Denver. In just her fifth collegiate meet, Zito led RU in three of the four rotations with a 9.750 on the vault, a 9.625 in the floor exercise and a 9.550 on the bars. The freshman also posted a 38.250 in the floor exercise as RU placed fourth in the meet.

Sebardri made her season debut and competed in her first meet in nearly a year in a quad meet at Pittsburgh to open the Scarlet Knights’ February slate. The bars specialist led RU in the event with a score of 9.650 as Rutgers posted a team score of 189.300 to take third place against No. 13 Iowa State, Pitts-burgh and Brockport.

The Scarlet Knights returned to their winning ways next time out, earning top honors in a quad meet with Brockport, Cortland and Ursinus. RU scored a 189.400 to capture the meet as the Scarlet Knights took the top three spots in the floor exercise, on the bars and on the balance beam. Seebadri, Banfield, Zito and Trentacosti each finished or tied for first in their respective events.

Rutgers traveled to Ohio for its next meet where the Scarlet Knights placed third in a tri-meet with Kent State and Northern Illinois with a score of 187.925.

A return home the following weekend brought a second-place showing in a quad meet with Bridgeport, William & Mary and Southern Connecticut State. The Scarlet Knights were down heading into the fourth and final rotation but surged in the floor exercise, highlighted by Banfield’s career-best score of 9.900 to take the event title. RU scored a season-best 48.875 in the floor exercise to surge into second place. Lewandowski and Zito posted a score of 9.800 on the vault to lead Rutgers and tie for third overall in the event.

RU earned a second-straight second-place showing the following week in a tri-meet against Cornell and Brockport in Ithaca, N.Y. Banfield continued her dominance in the floor exercise with a 9.850 to place second overall in the event. Sevarino scored a 9.750 on the balance beam to place second overall as four Scarlet Knights placed in the top five in the event.

Rutgers followed the Cornell meet with the standout performance on Senior Day at the Livingston Recreation Center. RU concluded its regular season with a 196.225-187.200 setback at EAGL foe North Carolina. Sevarino scored a 9.775 on the balance beam to tie for second overall in the event. Lewandowski scored a 9.700 on the vault to tie for fourth overall and freshman Nicole Roma-no led the Scarlet Knights with a 9.700 in the floor exercise to place seventh.

RU scored a 187.650 to place eighth at the very competitive EAGL Champi-onships, held on the campus of the University of New Hampshire. Sevarino tied her career-high to lead Rutgers on the vault with a score of 9.800, while Seebadri scored a season-high 9.775 on the bars to pace RU in the event.

Rutgers earned a spot to compete as team in the United States Gymnastics Collegiate Nationals in Denton, Texas in the middle of April. The Scarlet Knights advanced all the way to the finals, thanks to a team score of 189.400 in the opening round, and placed fourth overall in the eight-team event. The USAG also saw several standout individual performances, leading to five student-athletes being garnering All-America honors.

The Scarlet Knights had great success in the gymnasium in 2010, while continuing its outstanding work in the classroom. The EAGL honored 18 Scarlet Knights with all-league academic accolades – the most of any school in the con-ference. Ten student-athletes were named USA Gymnastics Scholar-Athletes. Sevarino took home a very prestigious honor at the USA Gymnastics Collegiate National Championships when she was named the USA Gymnastics Outstand-ing Senior Athlete of the Year.

The Scarlet Knights had many memorable moments and enjoyed success on the national stage in 2010. The three seniors played an important role in that success and will be sorely missed in 2011. With 20 letterwinners returning from the 2010 squad, the future is bright “On the Banks” as the program looks to build on its success and take the program to the next level in 2011.

LIVINGSTON RECREATION CENTER

Rutgers Gymnastics entered a new home in 2001 with the completion of the training and competition areas at the Livingston Recreation Center.

The training area is set up with two uneven bars, four beams, and a full-size floor for practice.

The gymnasium, which has served as a recreation facility for several years, has undergone an internal facelift to accommodate a new, 6,000 square-foot gymnastics practice facility with state-of-the-art training equipment. The Scarlet Knights have benefited from newly-designed enhancements to its facility in 2008 which provided optimal training conditions for the program. A brand new surface for the floor exercise and a newly-added in-ground tumbling pit has opened up the facility’s layout and made it more conducive for training. New bleachers were erected in the facility which presents a pleasant experience for fans on the day of a meet. The new facility allows the Scarlet Knights to train to their full potential, as well as helps attract some of the top gymnastics recruits in the country.

RICHARD L . MCCORMICKPrESIdENT OF ThE UNIVErSITy

Richard L. McCormick is the 19th president of Rutgers, The State University of New Jer-sey. A scholar of American political history who began his academic career on the Rutgers faculty, he returned as president in 2002 after serving as provost of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and president of the University of Washington.

Dr. McCormick’s goal is to advance Rutgers within the top tier of American public research universities. His ambitions for the university include an enriched learning experience for every student; teaching and research focused on global human problems; diversity of stu-dents, faculty, staff, and programs; and deeper connections with the people of New Jersey.

President McCormick led a major restructuring and reinvigoration of undergraduate education at Rutgers-New Brunswick, the university’s largest campus. The plan merged four undergraduate colleges into a School of Arts and Sciences, expanded access toacademic programs and learning communities, and established a popular First-Year Semi-nar program that offers more than 100 courses – each with no more than 20 students – on a wide range of topics taught by top faculty.

Other initiatives undertaken during Dr. McCormick’s tenure include: * The Rutgers Future Scholars Program, a pilot project to encourage minority and low-income teenagers from the university’s host cities to pursue higher education by offering mentorship and college preparation support, and the promise of free tuition to those admitted to Rutgers. * Establishment of the first-ever universitywide alumni body, the Rutgers University Alumni Association. * Rutgers Against Hunger, an initiative that combines volunteerism, research, education, and donations to address food security in the state of New Jersey. * Rutgers-Camden’s first-ever doctoral-level academic program, a Ph.D. in childhood studies – the first in the nation in this emerging discipline. * Establishment of the School of Public Affairs and Administration, Rutgers-Newark’s first new school in more than three decades.

Born in 1947, President McCormick earned a B.A. in American studies from Amherst College in 1969 and a Ph.D. in history from Yale University in 1976. He is mar-ried to Joan Barry McCormick, RU ’88. Dr. McCormick has three children, Betsy, Michael, and Katie.

A lifetime New Jersey native with a strong passion for his alma mater, Tim Pernetti has come full-circle in becoming one of the nation’s youngest leaders in college athletics. A former student-athlete “On the Banks”, Pernetti was named Rutgers’ sixth Director of Intercollegiate Athletics on February 26, 2009. He oversees 24 men’s and women’s intercollegiate teams in New Brunswick, a larger number than fielded at most of the university’s peer institutions. Pernetti has been influential in the world of college athletics since he received a bachelor’s degree in journalism and mass media from Rutgers in 1993,

and a master’s degree in communication in 1995. Prior to returning to Rutgers, Pernetti was the Executive Vice President, Content, for CBS College Sports Network. In that role, he oversaw the rights and relation-ship business, on-air talent, and all network programming and content on air, online and across all screens for the nation’s first company dedicated to college sports. Pernetti helped to build the CBS College Sports Network, previously CSTV, prior to its launch in 2003, and has played a critical role in establishing it as the multi-media leader in college sports programming, content, news and information. He was a recipient of the prestigious Sports Business Journal Forty under Forty Award, and the Multichannel News 40 under 40 Award both in 2008. Charged with developing relationships, acquiring rights and creating multi-platform original programming for the first ever 24-hour sports college sports network, Pernetti successfully navigated through a complicated web of media rights deals to come up with new ways to serve college sports fans. Pernetti worked closely with the NCAA and hundreds of schools in every major confer-ence, securing over 2,500 hours of event programming each year and multiple NCAA Championships across 35 men’s and women’s sports. Pernetti was in charge of the CBS College Sports Network exclusive long-term agreements with the US Naval Academy, Mountain West Conference, Conference USA, and the Atlantic 10. Further, he managed company relationships with more than 30 conferences and thousands of institutions. Pernetti remains most proud of establishing a strong relationship in women’s collegiate sports including the establishment of a women’s basketball game of the week package in 2004 with the Big East Conference. In 2006, Pernetti spearheaded a landmark multi-media partnership with the NCAA to make CBS College Sports Network the home of Division II Sports. The innovative deal effectively increased the scope and reach of NCAA Division II sports with hundreds of games now available nationally via the broadcast net-work and online.

Pernetti’s commitment to providing greater exposure to women’s and under-served sports is evidenced by the network’s unprecedented coverage of lacrosse and volleyball, among others. He has also been at the forefront of the develop-ment and creation of the Collegiate Nationals, which crowns champions in dozens of high endurance sports, and innovative original production including

CBS College Sports Network’s groundbreaking NCAA March Madness Central, NCAA March Madness Highlights on CBS College Sports, and the WIRED fran-chise which gives viewers an inside look at games and events through wireless microphones on coaches during game action. Prior to joining CBS College Sports Network, Pernetti served eight years at ABC-TV and ABC Sports most recently as Director of Programming, where he was integral in acquiring, managing and developing several ABC Sports properties including college football, the Bowl Championship Series, and college basketball. For five years, Pernetti handled relationships and negotiated television rights with all of the major collegiate conferences. As a student at Rutgers, Pernetti was a four-year letterwinner at tight end on the Rutgers football squad. He was also the color commentator for Rutgers Football on the Rutgers Football Radio Network and announced weekly NFL games nationally on Sports USA Radio. A resident of Oakland, N.J., Pernetti is married to the former Danielle Bahto. His wife also graduated from Rutgers and was a letterwinner on the women’s lacrosse team. Danielle and Tim are the proud parents of their three children – Max, Conor and Natalie.

30ABRIEFHISTORYRutgers, The State University of New Jersey, is one of the leading universities in the nation. The university is comprised of 27 degree-granting divisions; 10 undergraduate colleges, 11 graduate schools, and six schools offering both undergradu-ate and graduate degrees. Five are located in Camden, eight in Newark, and 13 in New Brunswick and one in Newark and New Brunswick.

Rutgers has a unique history as a colonial college, a land-grant institution, and a state university. Chartered in 1766 as Queen’s College, the eighth institution of higher learning to be founded in the colonies, the school opened its doors in New Brunswick in 1771 with a handful of first-year students. During its early years, the college developed as a classic liberal arts institution. In 1825, the name of the college was changed to honor a former trustee and Revolutionary War veteran, Colonel Henry Rutgers.

Rutgers College became the land-grant college of New Jersey in 1864, resulting in the establishment of the Rutgers Scien-tific School, featuring departments of agriculture, engineering, and chemistry. Further expansion in the sciences came with the founding of the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station in 1880, the College of Engineering (now the School of En-gineering) in 1914, and the College of Agriculture (now the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences) in 1921. The precursors to several other Rutgers divisions were also established during this period: the College of Pharmacy (now the Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy) in 1892, the New Jersey College for Women (now Douglass Residential College, part of the School of Arts and Sciences) in 1918, and the School of Education (now Graduate School of Education) in 1924.

In 1924, Rutgers College officially became Rutgers University, a reflection of the institution’s rapidly expanding number of schools and academic programs. Early in the century, Rutgers had begun offering educational opportunities to women when the New Jersey College for Women was founded in 1918, and to adult learners when University College, an evening division, was established in 1934. After World War II, enrollment exploded as Rutgers admitted all qualified candidates under the GI Bill. Rutgers was becoming an institution for all people, and in 1945 and 1956, state legislative acts formally designated Rutgers as The State University of New Jersey.

A flurry of expansion ensued. The University of Newark (now Rutgers–Newark) joined Rutgers in 1946, followed by the College of South Jersey (now Rutgers–Camden) in 1950. An ambi-tious building program added libraries, classrooms, and student housing across the three regional campuses. In 1969, Livingston College opened, providing a coeducational residential experience with a special commitment to diversity. Graduate education in the arts and sciences grew through the establishment of the Graduate School–New Brunswick, the Gradu-ate School–Newark, and the Graduate School–Camden. Professional schools were formed to serve students in the fields of business; communication, information, and library studies; criminal justice; education; fine arts; law; management and labor relations; nursing; planning and public policy; psychology; public affairs and administration; and social work. Meanwhile, as industry and government sought partners in solving problems and advancing knowledge, the concept of the research university emerged.

In 1981, Rutgers adopted a blueprint for its transformation into a major public research university. With increased support from state, federal, and corporate partners, Rutgers’ strength in research grew dramatically. In 1989, in recognition of its enhanced stature, Rutgers was invited to join the prestigious Association of American Universities, an organization comprising the top 63 research universities in North America. Today, professors and students work in more than 230 specialized research centers, unraveling mysteries in marine sci-ences, early childhood education, neuroscience, advanced materials, climate change, nutrition, homeland security, transportation, stem cells, and many other areas that can improve life both in New Jersey and around the world.

A 2007 major reorganization of undergraduate education in New Brunswick reinvigorated the undergraduate experience for both students and faculty by combining the traditions and strengths of four undergraduate liberal arts colleges—Douglass, Livingston, Rutgers, and University—into a single School of Arts and Sciences.

With 27 schools and colleges, Rutgers offers over 100 undergraduate majors and more than 100 graduate and professional degree programs. The university graduates more than 10,000 students each year, and has more than 380,000 living alumni residing in all 50 states and on six continents. Rutgers also sponsors community initiatives in all 21 New Jersey counties. Universitywide, new degree programs, research endeavors, and community outreach are in development to meet the demands of the 21st century.

Today, Rutgers continues to grow, both in its facilities and in the variety and depth of its educational and research programs. The university’s goals for the future include the continued provision of the highest quality education, along with the increased support of research and commitment to public service to meet the needs of society.

GYMNASTICS SCORING GUIDE In collegiate team competition, six gymnasts perform in each of four events (vault, uneven parallel bars, balance beam, and floor exercise). The five best individual scores per event comprise the cumulative team total. Collegiate competition requires at least two judges to evaluate the score of an athlete’s performance. The scores are averaged to arrive at a final mark. A perfect team score is 200, with top collegiate scores ranging between 190.00 and 197.00. Optional routines, choreographed by the gymnast to express herself through the skills she may perform best, are based on a score of 9.6 with an additional four-tenths (.4) for completing more difficult skills and/or combinations. Judges use the following categories to evaluate optional rou-tines: Value parts (difficulty) ......................3.00 Special Requirements .....................1.20 Bonus Parts .........................................0.50 Composition .........................................0.60 Execution ...............................................4.70-5.20 Total .........................................................10.00

Vault The vaulting event requires speed, quickness and explosive power. Vaults are divided into four categories: handsprings, forward saltos, backward saltos and vaults from a roundoff. Each of these vaults is assigned a vault of up to 10.0. De-ductions are taken from the starting value of the vault. Basis for deduc-tions stems from technical errors in the areas of preflight (approach to the horse), repulsion (the rise of the horse), and the afterflight (distance and height from the horse). In 2001, the rules were modified so that each gymnast would be per-mitted to perform one vault for scor-ing purposes. This is a change from previous seasons, where gymnastics

could perform two of the same or two different vaults, and were awarded the higher of the two scores. Due to safety concerns, in 2003 the design of the vault horse was been changed. It now has a larger top, allowing thegymnast more room to place her hands on the horse. It is referred to as the “tongue”, since that is what the new shape resembles.

Uneven Bars A complete routine on the uneven bars comprises some 10 to 15 moves, consisting mainly of swinging and suspension skills utiliz-ing both bars with many regrasps. A change of direction is required in the routine, while pauses for concentra-tion, extra swings and uncharacteris-tic elements are to be avoided. The gymnast must change bars at least two times, and must have at least two

flight elements. As mentioned above under scoring, bonus parts worth up to 0.40 can be awarded for completing difficult skills. On this event, some of the bonus moves include somersaulting release moves, difficult pirouette work, and somersaulting mounts.

Balance Beam The 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 require-ments on the balance beam are a tumbling series, a leap or 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 in-tense concentration, as each ‘wobble’ results in a deduction. Elements per-formed on the beam that receive bo-nus points are somersaulting mounts, double-back dismounts, double turns, one-arm handstands, and jumps show-ing maximum flexibility.

Floor Exercise Floor exercise is a combina-tion 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. The exercise must last between 1:10 and 1:30. A routine consists of three tumbling “passes” and the gym-nast must balance the difficulty of both her tumbling skills and dance skills and should finish the routine as strongly as it was started. Bonus points are awarded on this event for more than two twists in the same somersault, a double-back preceded by a front or backsomersault, a triple turn, and cer-tain unique dance elements. Specific deductions are taken for stepping off the mat and for being out of sync with the music.
