West Virginia University is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Institution

West Virginia University is on probation until February 17, 2017, for violations involving impermissible telephone and text communications that occurred in a number of our athletics programs. Level II violations occurred in the following sports programs: women’s gymnastics, football, women’s basketball and women’s soccer. On a smaller scale, 10 other sport programs, including baseball, men’s basketball, women’s diving, women’s rowing, men’s soccer, men’s swimming, women’s tennis, women’s track and field, women’s volleyball, and men’s wrestling and programs, also engaged in impermissible text and telephone-related activity.

Fifth-year coach Jason Butts helped

the Mountaineers exit the EAGL in style,

winning the team’s seventh championship in 2012, and ushered in a new period for

WVU gymnastics in 2013, as the Mountaineers joined the

Big 12 Conference.

Cary Gym underwent a

makeover in the summer of 2014, as

new graphics and banners were added to give the

Mountaineers’ practice facility a fresh, welcoming look. The $1.5

million, 12,000-square foot training center was designed exclusively for

Mountaineer gymnastics and also features the latest in comfort, technology and safety.

Hardwood floors were then added in the summer of 2015.

On competition day, the Mountaineers move over to the WVU Coliseum, one of the most exciting and difficult

venues to compete in in NCAA Gymnastics.

The atmosphere that surrounds the WVU Coliseum on meet day is contagious, as the gymnasts give their all for a win, interacting with the Mountaineer faithful and feeding off the crowd’s energy.

The Mountaineers (14-9-1, 1-1-1)

placed a program-best second at the

2015 Big 12 Gymnastics Championship and finished

fifth at the NCAA Morgantown Regional Championships with a

195.65 score, the team’s second-best mark at a regional.

WVU finished the year ranked No. 28 nationally, its highest position since

the 2012 season.

LookTHE MOUNTAINEER

The WVU gymnastics team takes great pride in its appearance on competition day.

Whether sporting pink leotards during February for breast cancer awareness, black leotards at the WVU Coliseum in support of West Virginia’s rich coal history, or the traditional Old Gold and Blue, the Mountaineers look to put a fresh, cool spin on their competition look every year.

13

In its 20th year of competition, the Big 12 is a strong conference that, like WVU, values quality academic and athletic programs and has a great tradition of success. The conference now features four teams, as Denver joined as an affiliate member in 2016.

Oklahoma won the Big 12’s first gymnastics National Championships in 2014, and the conference has been represented by at least one team at every NCAA Gymnastics Championships since 2002.

The Mountaineer Family is a proud program with

a lot of tradition. West Virginia is a very proud state,

and we’re representing the people of West Virginia that are

Mountaineers; that is our history. We want to represent this state with a lot of

pride and be successful.

“Representing the state of West Virginia within the collegiate

gymnastics scene also is a unique opportunity. Not

a whole lot of people get the opportunity to put on a WVU

uniform and compete in athletics.

“The WVU gymnastics team has been a successful program for more than 40 years,

and we look forward to building on that success.”

JASONHEAD COACH

FIFTH SEASONButts

35

Following a five-year tenure that saw him rise from assistant coach to asso-ciate head coach, Jason Butts became West Virginia University’s third gymnas-tics head coach in April 2011.

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

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

The Mountaineers finished the year ranked No. 28 in the GymInfo Poll, the squad’s highest position since sitting at No. 21 at the end of the 2012 season.

Butts also saw his team excel in the classroom in 2015. Jaida Lawrence was named the Big 12 Scholar-Athlete of the Year, the program’s first honoree. Additionally, six gymnasts earned NACGC/W Scholastic All-America honors, seven garnered Academic All-Big 12 Team recognitions and two were named to the Academic All-Big 12 Rookie Team.

Four seasons into his head-coaching tenure, Butts owns a 54-34-1 (.612) career record with the Mountaineers.

Butts returned the program to the national stage in his third season, as Hope Sloanhoffer qualified for the NCAA National Championships in the all-around, the first gymnast since 2009 to advance to the national championships and the 18th in program history. The 2014 NCAA Athens Regional Championships beam co-champion, Sloanhoffer also captured the Big 12 Conference all-around crown, WVU gymnastics’ first Big 12 title.

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

The Mountaineers also showed improvement in the classroom in 2014, as seven gymnasts were named Scholastic All-Americans, an increase from five in 2013. Additionally, seven garnered Academic All-Big 12 Gymnastics Team recognitions, also an increase from five in 2013.

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

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

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

At season’s end, the Mountaineers were nationally ranked No. 21 on vault, No. 21 on beam and No. 26 on floor; WVU was ranked in the top 25 on vault each week of 2013. Millick ranked No. 27 in the all-around, Sloanhoffer followed at No. 42, Lawrence ranked No. 43 on vault and Alaska Richardson ranked No. 48 on floor. Additionally, the squad ranked No. 2 overall in the Big 12 and on every event but bars.

Butts wasted little time in his first season, leading the Mountaineers to a 21-5 record in 2012, their first 20-win season since 2008, and a fifth-place showing at the 2012 NCAA Auburn Regional Championships. WVU scored 195.9, its best-ever regional score, and finished the year ranked No. 21 nationally, the Mountaineers’ first season-ending ranking since 2009. WVU concluded the year with a 5-4 mark against ranked teams and earned wins against No. 8 Arkansas, No. 13 Auburn and No. 13 Missouri.

Making good on a promise he gave the team when he was hired, Butts also led the Mountaineers to their league-best seventh East Atlantic Gymnastics League (EAGL) title on March 24, 2012. Sloanhoffer, the EAGL Gymnast of the Year, captured the vault, bars and all-around titles, while Deal secured the balance beam victory. WVU tallied a season-best 196.475 score in its win and set three season-best scores on vault (49.25), bars (49.175) and floor (49.2).

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

Following its seven wins at the EAGL Championship, WVU qualified for its 34th regional championship appearance as the No. 5 seed in the Auburn regional. Entering regional competition, WVU ranked nationally on vault and floor and owned the league’s top rankings 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, and 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 cham-pions, 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 Champion-ships qualifications and coached Cox to 2007 first team All-America honors on floor.

In his five seasons as an assistant, the Mountaineers produced a 98-44 record, competed at five straight NCAA Regional Championships and claimed the 2008 EAGL Championship. Additionally, Butts coached nine EAGL individual champions, two EAGL Gymnasts of the Year and 57 All-EAGL honorees.

Though the bars lineup shuffled throughout the 2011 season, Butts’ unit produced an overall season average of 48.406. Emily Kerwin ended the year ranked No. 6 in the EAGL, No. 13 in the Southeast region, with a 9.81 RQS, while league champion Bieski ranked No. 8 in the conference, No. 15 regionally, with a 9.795 RQS. Additionally, the Mountaineers placed the most representatives on the All-EAGL bars first team, as Kerwin, Bieski and Nicole Roach all secured the honor.

In total, four gymnasts swung to multiple scores of 9.8 or better throughout the season, and Bieski and Roach set the team standard with career-best 9.875 marks.

In addition to leading the bars team, Butts helped guide the vault and floor lineups to the No. 1 (49.08 RQS) and No. 2 (49.035) league rankings, respec-tively. The units also were nationally ranked No. 17 and No. 21, respectively. Under his supervision, Sloanhoffer, a nine-time EAGL weekly award winner, was ranked No. 1 in the league, No. 6 in the region and No. 37 in the nation on vault (9.865 RQS) and earned three 9.9-plus vault scores on the season.

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

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

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

Butts helped guide Morris to a fifth place all-around finish at the 2009 NCAA Southeast Regional Championship and a qualification for the NCAA Champi-onship. Additionally, she not only repeated as the EAGL bars and floor cham-pion, 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 in-dividual 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 the uneven bars after posting a 48.85.

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

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

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

Butts worked at the Woodward Camp (1994-96) and the UGA Gym Dog Camp (2004-06). He competed as a competitive gymnast for 10 years, reaching Class I status, and he was a Junior Olympic National Qualifier.

Butts received a bachelor’s degree in business administration and manage-ment from Georgia in 2006. He received a master’s degree in athletic coaching education at WVU in 2012.

GymnasticsQ&A WITH THE WVU

COACHING STAFF

With the start of the 2016 season just around the corner, how would you assess the progress the team has made throughout the preseason?

Head Coach Jason Butts: We have had a few intrasquads, and they’ve all gone really well. From a big-picture look, vault may be our weakest event in terms of depth, but the vaults we have ready to compete are great.

The intrasquads have really instilled a lot of con-fidence in this team. I think we have at least five 9.8 routines on every event, and that’s a great place to be at the start of the season. I don’t think we’ve been at that level in the past.

Personally, I’m really confident as we head into the season. We have a lot of question marks that we cannot answer until we see how the team responds to in-meet situations, but I don’t think the question marks are as big as they were in the past.

Associate Head Coach Travis Doak: We eclipsed our starting point from past seasons in early December. I think that is really going to benefit us, as we then were able to use the final 18-20 preseason practices to put this team in a position to eliminate extra question marks.

As a coaching staff, one of our goals moving into the 2016 season was to increase the overall skill level. The gymnasts on this year’s team are very capable of doing that. We’ve added E dismounts on the uneven bars and E tumbling passes into our floor routines. Our skill level is going to be a lot more respectable this year, and that’s where we want this program to be.

Assistant Coach Kaylyn Millick: The skills are so much bigger than they used to be – we are not watering down routines just to ensure a hit. The gymnasts are reaching for the bigger skills, and they’re hitting, too. The biggest question mark is – will they hit in a competition?

Are you pleased with the team’s consistency level to this point?

JB: Yes, definitely. Usually going into the first couple of meets, I’m a bit stressed about our routines. This year, we’re a bit further along at this point, and I am surprised when we have a fall in an intrasquad. It is so nice to be at that point at the end of December.

Of the underclassmen returners, who are you looking at to assume a leadership role this year?

JB: (Sophomore) Jordan Gillette is night-and-day from where she was at this point last year. She’s definitely in on beam and floor right now, and she’s pushing for a spot in the bars lineup. Her confidence is so high right now, and she’s been a rock star in our intrasquads.

(Junior) Alexa Goldberg will compete in the all-around this season. She’s in a completely different place this year – I’ve seen great im-provements in her skills and training, even since September.

Jordan and Alexa are both so low key in the gym – that’s their leadership. They are low key and low stress.

The number of returners coming back is going to be a huge asset for us this year. We’re going to need them to all step-up and mimic the low key, task-focused attitudes they’ve had in the gym.

The team ended the 2015 season on a big high, scoring a season-best 196.075 in the regular-season finale, finishing a program-best second at the Big 12 Gymnastics Championship and tallying 195.65 at the NCAA Morgantown Region-al Championships inside the WVU Colise-um. Do you see this year’s squad picking up right where last year’s team left off?

TD: I absolutely think so. The biggest thing I want this team to build on from last year is the consistency that we displayed. That’s all we need to do, and that is what we have focused on every day at practice. When a gymnast has a mistake in her routine, it’s a shock, and that’s exactly where we were at the end of last season.

As long as this team embraces our ‘consistency’ message, I think we’ll be in a great spot.

The team lost two vocal leaders in grad-uates Dayah Haley and Beth Deal. Who are you looking at to assume that role this year?

TD: I honestly think the team is looking at Jason and the rest of the coaching staff for leadership this year. This is a really cohesive group, and they’re letting the coaching staff lead. There is not a sense of entitlement with the team this year.

JB: I think our 2016 schedule poster is a great example of what this whole season is about – you put on the leotard and you compete for West Virginia University. We are a team, and everyone has a leadership role. I have seen some of our freshmen assume leadership roles already, and that’s great – every gymnast is finding her way to lead this team. I think that’s helping us come together as one unit.

38

This year’s theme is “Mountaineer Legacy.” How do you define that theme, and how will it be applied throughout the season?

KM: It’s the idea that you are competing for something bigger than just yourself. As Jason and Travis mentioned, by making the coaching staff the official leaders, we’ve brought out a leadership quality in each of the gymnasts. (Freshman) Kirah (Koshinski) helps out her teammates at practice each day. (Sophomore) Zaakira (Muhammad) inspires the team with the way she trains at every practice. Each gymnast is competing for the program this year, not herself.

JB: I told the team they each have a choice to do their jobs well. They know their job is to represent this University well, and they’ve really bought in to doing their best in the gym each day. No one is entitled to anything this year – they each have to earn everything. It’s been a big change in attitude, and I love what I’m seeing right now.

Six freshmen join the team this year. What excites you about this year’s class?

TD: I like that their strengths are all completely different, and together they are forming one great, powerful punch. Together, they are putting up some great routines. Their hit routines really catch your attention because it is good gymnas-tics. These freshmen are going to be able to hit routines immediately and potentially score 9.8+. The adjustment period will not really be there, and that’s great.

JB: I’m most excited because the gymnasts that will compete don’t feel like freshmen. They carry themselves like they’ve already been here for a season. I know they’re nervous, but they have a good way of hiding the nerves. They just get their jobs done, and that’s what excites me the most.

KM: This is really one of the first classes as a whole that has come in loving gymnastics, es-pecially West Virginia gymnastics. They will run through a brick wall – they do not want to disap-point the coaches. They work really hard despite their nerves. I think this class has a ‘wow’ factor that will be exciting to watch.

The 2016 schedule features six teams ranked in the coaches’ preseason poll. The slate is certainly challenging, espe-cially in February when the team will hit the road for four meets, including trips to No. 1 Oklahoma and No. 3 Alabama. What do you like about this schedule, and how will the challenges help this team develop and progress toward postseason?

TD: What I really like is it will force us to use our depth. With this schedule and our dual week (meets at Iowa State and at Oklahoma Feb. 5-7), we’re going to have to use everyone. No one

should feel settled in a lineup spot. We’re going to give a lot of gymnasts some opportunities to do great things. That’s what I like about this schedule – it’s going to force our hands.

JB: This schedule also puts us in some great opportunities to get solid road scores, and it’s going to be up to us to take advantage of those opportunities. We always perform decent at home, and we should feel confident that if we also hit on the road, we can earn incredible scores, and that will help push us toward a seed in a regional championship.

I’m excited. We want to get over the hump of being afraid of having two meets in one week-end. That swing at Iowa State and at Oklahoma will be a challenge, but competitions should be easier than practices. If we can take advan-tage of our opportunities, this season could be incredible.

How does the addition of Denver as an affiliate member change the dynamics within the Big 12 Conference?

JB: Denver is a really strong team. Oklahoma is No. 1 for a reason, so it may be a battle for second place at the conference championship in March, but I think we can do it. Every gymnast has to stay on the equipment and that evens it out.

How important is it for you to see your athletes balance their workload inside the gym and in the classroom?

JB: We remind every gymnast the day she steps foot on campus that there is not a professional gymnastics league. Therefore, each of these student-athletes needs to be ready for the real

world after four years at WVU. I know it’s tough. It’s hard being a full-time gymnast and a full-time student, but I think our student-athletes to a great job at balancing their workloads.

What makes competing inside the WVU Coliseum so special, and how does it give this team an advantage?

TD: Each of the coaches on this staff loves West Virginia University. Therefore, when you get to represent something you love so much, it’s pretty awesome. We get to experience the excitement that surrounds this team and this University at every home meet in the WVU Coli-seum, and that makes our jobs so special. We’re proud to compete, and we’re always proud of the team on the floor.

JB: I love the meet day atmosphere inside the WVU Coliseum. It’s such an amazing feeling each time we get to compete in front of our home crowd. The fans are always enthusiastic and cheer so loudly for this team.

Why is it a special honor to be a Moun-taineer gymnast?

KM: This program is just so unique. I think the gymnasts know how much this staff supports them, the University and the sport of gymnas-tics. I love how excited this team is to compete each meet. That’s what it’s all about – the excitement that surrounds representing a Uni-versity you love.

JB: This state loves West Virginia University, and I know other Universities do not receive the same universal support that we do. To represent this state is an incredible honor.

Travis Doak enters his eighth year at his alma mater and his second as the team’s associate head coach. He is responsible for coaching vault, beam and floor. He also oversees the Mountaineers’ recruiting efforts.

Since Doak joined the staff in 2009, WVU made five straight NCAA Regional Championships appearances (2009-13), six total, earned one conference title and compiled an overall record of 101-61-1 (.623).

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 second-best showing at a regional championships. The Mountaineers tallied 49.225 on beam, the team’s best-ever score on the event at a regional. WVU also finished a program-best second at the Big 12 Gymnastics Championship, scoring 195.025. Dayah Haley earned her second straight 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 exercise) and Alexa Goldberg (uneven bars). WVU finished the year with a 14-9-1 (1-1-1 Big 12) overall record. The squad also ranked No. 28 in the final GymInfo Poll, the team’s highest position since 2012.

Doak helped guide Hope Sloanhoffer to the NCAA National Championships in 2014, as she individually qualified in the all-around. She was the first Mountaineer to qualify since 2009, Doak’s first season as an assistant, and the 18th in program history. Sloanhoffer qualified after finishing second in the all-around and first on beam at the 2014 NCAA Athens Regional Championships.

The Mountaineers posted their best score at the Big 12 Gymnastics Championship in 2014, tallying 196.375 and finishing in third place. Three Mountaineers earned four All-Big 12 Championship Team honors, and Sloanhoffer finished first in the 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 (balance beam), Goldberg (uneven bars) and Nicolette Swoboda (all-around) individually qualified for the Athens Regional.

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

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

Doak was integral in the success of the Mountaineers’ vault and floor lineup in 2013, as both units were nationally ranked each 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 51 all-conference honors, including 30 All-EAGL First Team awards, two gymnast of the year distinctions and two outstanding senior gymnast nods.

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

In addition to the Mountaineers’ league-best seventh EAGL title, the team’s first since 2008, WVU advanced to the NCAA Auburn Regional Championships as the No. 5 seed and finished in fifth place with a 195.9 score, the team’s best-ever 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 nationally No. 17, No. 37 and No. 48, respectively, on each apparatus.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Doak earned his bachelor’s degree from West Virginia in sport management in 2006 and a master’s degree in athletic coaching education in 2008.

Highly successful freshman campaign resulted in a gain of confidence that should push her toward all-around potential in 2016 … has an unmatched ‘wow’ factor on team … one of the most consistent vaulters … also consistent on bars … reworked floor routine should help her excel … big gymnastics should produce favorable scores … rarely found without a smile.

Big Routines ReturnEighteen of the 24 routines the Mountaineers competed at the 2015 NCAA Morgan-town Regional Championships return this year, with junior Alexa Goldberg leading the Mountaineer returners, as the event specialist competed on beam (9.85), floor (9.775) and bars (9.65) at the championships.

All 10 of the Mountaineer returners competed in at least one meet in 2015. Three of the squad’s top season averages also return this year: senior Jaida Lawrence on vault (9.827), Goldberg on bars (9.825) and sophomore Jordan Gillette on beam (9.763). Senior Melissa Idell ranked No. 2 on floor last year with a 9.84 season average.

Newcomers Will Contribute QuicklySix freshmen join the WVU gymnastics team this season: Carly Galpin, Kirah Koshinski, Sarah Moore, Kelsey Sorrenson, Jaquie Tun and Tiara Wright. All six are expected to see competition time throughout the year.

Of the six newcomers, Koshinski is expected to make the biggest immediate impact, as the coaches plan for her to compete in the vault, beam and floor lineups.

A New Big 12 LookThe Big 12 Conference added Denver as an affiliate member in July of 2015. The Pioneers will compete for the conference’s postseason championship and the league’s automatic qualification to NCAA postseason competition.

Also new this year, the Big 12 Gymnastics Championship will make its neutral site debut with the Dr. Pepper Arena in Frisco, Texas, hosting the meet on Saturday, March 19, at 5 p.m. ET.

“I think the addition of Denver gymnastics to the Big 12 Conference gives us strength in numbers,” WVU coach Jason Butts said. “This better positions us on a competitive level with other conferences around the country. Denver gymnastics has a strong history, and the Pioneers will add competition to our league. The Big 12 Gymnastics Championship is more exciting for all gymnastics fans.”

2016 Slate Promises Challenges, ExcitementThe Mountaineers will face tough competition each week this season, as WVU’s 2016 schedule features seven teams ranked in the preseason coaches’ poll.

The squad opens the season against two ranked foes. WVU will compete at No. 16 Denver, with No. 24 Southern Utah, on Saturday, Jan. 9, at 8 p.m. ET, inside Hamilton Gymnasium, in Denver, Colorado. The Mountaineers also will compete at No. 1 Oklaho-ma, at No. 3 Alabama and in Philadelphia against No. 17 Penn State. Additionally, the team will play host to No. 21 Kentucky and No. 22 Ohio State late in the year.

Following back-to-back meets against Pitt in the final weekend of the regular season, WVU will travel to Frisco, Texas, for the 2016 Big 12 Gymnastics Championship on Saturday, March 19. The NCAA Regional Championships will be held on Saturday, April 2, and the NCAA Championships are set for April 15-16, in Fort Worth, Texas.

Beauty and the Beast ReturnsFollowing a one-year absence, the popular Beauty and the Beast meet returns this year. The WVU gymnastics and wrestling teams will compete simultaneously on Sunday, Jan. 17, at 4 p.m., at the WVU Coliseum. The gymnastics team will compete against New Hampshire in its 2016 season home opener, while the wrestling squad will face Oklahoma.

This year’s meet is the fourth hosted at the WVU Coliseum. The Mountaineers last held a Beauty and the Beast meet on Feb. 14, 2014, with both teams earning key victories. The gymnasts trumped Pitt, 194.45-194.125, and the wrestlers defeated Clarion, 28-7.

VaultThough the Mountaineers’ vault lineup will not be very deep in 2016, the vaults the team will compete are incredibly strong. The squad will rely on Lawrence’s experience and consistency, as the Rocky Hill, Connecticut, native is expected to again compete near the back of the lineup. A 2013 All-Big 12 Gymnastics Team honoree for the event, she has scored below 9.825 on vault only 10 times in three seasons and shows a career-best 9.925 mark. Additionally, she owns a team-best 13 career victories, all on vault.

Also returning to the lineup is sophomore Zaakira Muhammad. A powerful gymnast, she ranked No. 2 on the squad in 2015 with a 9.81 season average. Muhammad hit a career-high 9.875 as a rookie and scored below 9.8 just three times.

“Zaakira’s vault is so big, and she’s focusing on the little things right now,” assistant coach Kaylyn Millick said. “I think in the long run, that’s going to be huge for this lineup.”

Though the lineup will miss the steady presence of graduate Dayah Haley, the coaches believe Koshinski is more than capable of replacing her score. Also expected to compete are sophomores Amanda Bowman and Robyn Bernard, who competed on vault in all but one meet last season and averaged 9.73, as well as Goldberg.

“Alexa looks better this year, and she has the potential to be a great addition to the lineup,” associate head coach Travis Doak said.

The coaches hope to also work Moore and Sorrenson into the lineup.

Uneven Bars WVU boasts one of the nation’s top bars works in Goldberg, who ended the 2015 season ranked No. 46 nationally with a 9.87 regional qualify-ing score (RQS). A fixture near the back of the team’s lineup since her freshman season, the Ivyland, Pennsylvania, native tallied a career-best 9.95 last year, the second-best score in school history, and owns 12 career bars victories.

The Mountaineer coaching staff believes Muhammad, Wright and Tun will provide great compliments to Goldberg’s routine. Muhammad competed on bars in all 12 meets as a freshman and ranked No. 2 on the team with a 9.646 sea-son average, scoring 9.8 or better four times and earning four podium finishes. Wright is the 2012 Junior Olympics bars national champion.

“Tiara’s skill level is great,” Doak said. “She has four releases in her routine, and she may do three straight quick releases. Zaakira also is in a better place this year, and I expect high scores from her. Jaquie’s line is beautiful – her toes never come apart.”

The coaches believe senior Audrey Tolbert, Lawrence, Bernard and Koshinski will provide depth, too.

“There are four or five great bars routines that are just phenomenal,” said Butts. “We’re going to have several E-level dismounts, and I think this lineup is going to be really dynamic. We’re going to be on the same skill level as a lot of our competition.”

Balance Beam The beam lineup took the biggest hit from graduation, as Haley and Beth Deal were both featured late in the season. The coaches will look to Gillette to assume the steadiness that Deal provided throughout her four-year Mountaineer career. The Natrona Heights, Pennsylvania, native competed in 10 meets as a freshman and earned a team-best average of 9.763. She earned three podium finishes, including a win against Penn and Cornell, and hit a career-best 9.85 at the NCAA Morgantown Regional Championships.

At least 10 gymnasts could potentially see time in the beam lineup this season, a fact that excites Doak.

“We could pick two completely different lineups if we wanted to, and we would all feel comfortable,” Doak explained. “There are some routines that will score better, but as a staff, we believe each of the gymnasts will hit her beam routine every time she competes. We’re hoping to remove the question mark that often surrounds the balance beam, and instead we want to attack the event at each meet. We want to be aggressive on beam.”

Goldberg ranked No. 2 on the team in 2015 with a 9.75 season average. New to the lineup as a sophomore, she scored below 9.75 just twice. Also set to contribute this season are Idell, Bernard, Muhammad, Koshinski, Moore and Wright.

Floor ExerciseThe Mountaineers’ floor lineup is the only event not to return its top scorer from 2015, as lineup anchor Haley graduated. Despite the loss, the coaches believe the lineup will be just as dy-namic and expect Koshinski to replace Haley’s energy, skill and showmanship.

“Kirah is a natural competitor and I cannot wait for her to show this routine off this season,” Butts said of the 2015 Junior Olympics floor national champion. “Her routine is interactive, fun and very impactful.”

Idell is the team’s top returner, having earned a season average of 9.84 last year. A graceful gymnast, she tallied five scores of 9.875 or bet-ter in 2015, including a career-best 9.925, and finished the year ranked No. 38 nationally with a 9.885 RQS. She will compete an upgraded rou-tine this season, as will Goldberg and Gillette. The coaches also believe Muhammad should make her career floor debut this season with a dynamic two-pass routine. A former dancer, Wright also is expected to see time on floor.

Strong FinishThe Mountaineers capitalized on home-gym advantage at the end of the 2015 season, scoring 195.65 and finishing in fifth place at the NCAA Morgantown Regional Championships on April 4, at the WVU Coliseum.

The team’s total was its third-best score of the season and its second-best point total at a regional championships.

Seeded sixth in the region, the Mountaineers ended the championships on beam and scored a season-best 49.225, the program’s best showing on the apparatus at a regional.

Senior Dayah Haley nearly stole the day, scoring a career-high 39.225 in the all-around and tying for sixth place. She also matched her career high on vault (9.825) and earned a career-best 9.85 on beam.

In total, five gymnasts scored 9.8 or better on beam, including career-best 9.85 scores from Haley, sophomore Alexa Goldberg and freshman Jordan Gillette. The trio, along with senior Beth Deal, tied for 11th place. Sophomore Brooklyn Doggette opened the rotation and matched her career-best score of 9.825.

Linda Burdette-Good37 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 1995 NCAA Southeast Regional coach of the year. In 2004, she eclipsed the 500-win milestone, and in 2009, she amassed over 600 victories, making her the all-time winningest Mountaineer coach with a WVU team. She retired in 2011 after 37 highly successful and memorable seasons.

Jason Butts4 SEASONS: 2012- | RECORD: 54-34-1

Elevated to the head coach position after serving five years as an assistant under 37-year coach Linda Burdette-Good, coach Jason Butts is determined to put the West Virginia University gymnastics team back on the national state. Following a fantastic first season that saw the Mountaineers secure its first 20-win season since 2008 and earn its 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.

AppearancesCHAMPIONSHIP

1982 AIAW Championships Led by an unheralded freshman from Fairmont, W.Va., named Shari Retton, the 1982 gymnastics team surprised the country by finishing third at the AIAW championships in Memphis, Tenn. Coach Linda Burdette’s Mountain-eers, at the University’s first ever national championships, finished behind first place Florida and runner up Alabama, and ahead of national powers Georgia, Ohio State, Brigham Young and Washington State, among others. Retton captured First Team All-America honors on the vault, uneven parallel bars, floor exercise and the all around. WVU qualified for the championships by winning the EAIAW Regional at Clarion State. The Mountaineers scored 139.25 points to edge Yale’s 138.35. That title is still WVU’s only regional championship. The 1982 season saw 18 wins against seven losses. The biggest win of the season was a 142.30-142.10 victory against eventual national champion Florida, a meet that WVU won on the last gymnast of the last rotation. The 142.30 points was a school record at the time. Also during the 1982 season, West Virginia beat Duke, Kentucky, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Mary-land 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 as-sociation. The Mountaineers began NCAA competition with the 1983 season.

1995 NCAA Championships After years of being on the outside looking in, the 1995 WVU gymnastics team took the step to the next level with an at large bid to the 1995 NCAA Championships in Athens, Ga. The senior led group found the right mix of talent, desire, experience and coaching and put it all together when it counted - at the NCAA Southeast Regional. In fact, the whole season was something magical. Ten team records were set or tied throughout the course of the year, while five individual marks were

reached. The 15-6 Mountaineers won their fourth straight Atlantic 10 title and Karla Hairston and Kristin Quackenbush were named Atlantic 10 Gymnasts of the Year, while Umme Salim garnered A10 Freshman of the Year honors. Coach Linda Burdette was named NCAA Southeast Regional Coach of the Year. Freshman Adriana Manago earned NACGC/W scholastic All-America status, while WVU’s first ever trip to the NCAA Championships was highlight-ed by Quackenbush, the talented sophomore all-arounder who earned second team All-America honors on the floor exercise. The most rewarding accomplishment of the 1995 season was that of WVU’s three seniors, Liz Byrnes, Jenni Kaye and Shannon Migli, all of whom overcame injuries that plagued them their first three years in Morgantown to become major contributors in WVU’s run to the championships.

1999 NCAA Championships What appeared initially as a tragedy for the 1999 West Virginia gymnas-tics 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 Champion-ships at Maryland, the Mountaineers couldn’t have scripted a more opportune time to amend that setback, regroup, and really let their true colors show than at the NCAA Regionals before the home crowd. West Virginia hosted the NCAA Region 6 Championships at the WVU Coliseum, which assembled five of the top 25 teams in the country, including No. 2 Alabama. The Mountaineers showcased their most brilliant talent at this meet and attained a 195.275 team score, placing them second in their region behind Alabama and qualifying them for their second trip to the national championship in five years. Although the Mountaineers placed 12th at the NCAA Championship in Salt Lake City, Utah, coach Linda Burdette had plenty of reasons to be proud of her squad. Five WVU gymnasts earned all-EAGL notice and for the fourth-straight season, the Mountaineers were undefeated in the Coliseum in regular season competition. One of the most significant of those wins came on February 20, when the Mountaineers defeated Minnesota and North Carolina State, giving Burdette the 400th and 401st victories of her career. She became the fourth coach in school history to reach that milestone. Senior Nikki West punctuated her stellar vaulting career with two more perfect 10.0s in 1999. West scored five 10.0s on vault, tying her with former WVU gymnast Kristin Quakenbush for the most perfect scores in school history.

2000 NCAA Championships From the very start those around the 2000 gymnastics team knew this team would be a special one. Focused around some exciting newcomers and perhaps the most storied senior class in school history the Mountaineers were destined to rewrite the WVU record book. West Virginia posted a 19-10 record and established four of the top 10 team scores in school history, including three of the top four. The Mountain-eers 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 deter-mined to do what no other WVU team had done before - earn a trip to the NCAA Championships for a second straight season. To do that West Virginia had to finish in the top two slots at the Region 2 Championship meet in Minneapolis, Minn. Not an easy task considering the competition, which included No. 3 Utah and Top 25 teams Denver and Minnesota. The Mountaineers, largely behind the efforts of seniors Kelly Foley and Danielle Lilly, managed to scrap and claw their way to a second place finish. West Virginia proved its shaky performance at the EAGL meet to be an aber-ration 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 Mountain-eers 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 perfor-mances 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.

LyonsSHANEDIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

West Virginia native Shane Lyons was named director of Intercollegiate Athletics and associate vice president at West Virginia University in January 2015. Lyons came to West Virginia after spending three years as the deputy director of athletics and chief operating officer at Alabama where he worked closely on day-to-day strategic leadership and direction with Alabama athletic directors – the late Mal Moore and current athletic director Bill Battle. At WVU, Lyons has oversight of 18 varsity sports, a department budget of approximately $80 million, 220 employees, approximately 450 student-athletes and a facilities master plan that included the opening of a $21 million baseball park and more $75 million to modernize other athletic venues in the next three years. During his time at Alabama, his responsibilities included oversight of a $120 million budget, daily monitoring of compliance and oversight of the Crimson Tide’s 21 sports teams. In addition, he played a pivotal role in a historic renegotiation of Alabama’s multimedia rights agreement that started in 2014 and was involved in several significant capital projects totaling more than $85 million. The Crimson Tide won seven national titles in five different sports during his time there – two in football, two in men’s golf, one in women’s golf, one in gymnastics and one in softball. He also played a critical role in the hiring of four Alabama head coaches. Prior to joining the Alabama staff in November 2011, Lyons spent 10 years as an associate commissioner at the Atlantic Coast Conference. At the ACC, Lyons focused on conference-wide compliance and academic initiatives, providing direct assistance to the conference’s presidents, chancellors and athletics directors in matters dealing with NCAA regulatory matters. In addition, he served as the ACC’s human resource manager and was responsible for the administration, negotiation and mediation of the employee benefits program and managing the conference’s organizational policies and procedures. He was part of the administrative team for ACC events, including the football championship game, the men’s basketball tournament and men’s and women’s NCAA basketball events. He also was a member and served as chairman on many prominent committees within the NCAA Governance structure during his tenure with the ACC. Prior to working at the ACC, Lyons served as associate athletics director for compliance at Big 12 member Texas Tech from 1998 to 2001. During that time, Lyons assumed responsibility for the leadership, administration and implementation of a comprehensive NCAA compliance program with emphasis toward rules education and extensive monitoring systems. He also served as oversight administrator for several of the Red Raiders’ athletic teams and had financial and operational supervision of the strength and conditioning, nutritional and sports medicine units. Before joining Texas Tech, Lyons worked at the NCAA for almost 10 years as a senior membership services representative, where he was responsible for the oversight and coordination of the 25 membership service representatives. Lyons began his career in college athletics in July 1988 as assistant commissioner of the Big South Conference. With the Big South, he was in charge of conference-wide compliance and championships. The LyonsFAMILY: Emily, Cameron, Shane and Brooke

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. He and his wife, Emily, a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, have two children: Cameron, 16, and Brooke, 12. Lyons is the University’s 12th athletic director.

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

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

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

JUDGES USE THE FOLLOWING CATEGORIES TO EVALUATE OPTIONAL ROUTINES:Value parts (difficulty) 2.20Special Requirements 2.00Bonus elements 0.50Execution/composition 5.30Total 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 1/2

• Yurchenko layout full and Yurchenko layout half vaults are now assigned start values of up to 9.95

• Gymnasts must remain motionless upon landing or a deduction will be taken

JordanGILLETTE and coach KaylynMILLICK

127

Uneven Bars• A complete routine comprises

some 10 to 15 moves, consisting mainly of swinging and suspension skills utilizing both bars with many regrasps

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

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

Balance Beam• A routine must be composed of

elements from the following groups: tumbling with and without flight, strength and dance (i.e. turns, leaps and body waves)

• Special requirements on the beam are a tumbling series, a large jump, a full turn and a series of skills combining dance and acrobatics

• The routine must last between 1:10 and 1:30

• Performing on the beam requires precise movement and intense concentration, as each wobble results in a deduction.

Floor Exercise• Floor exercise is a combination of

dance, tumbling and acrobatics performed to music

• Creative and dynamic changes in rhythm and energy levels help to create an exciting routine where composition plays an important role

• A routine must last between 1:10 and 1:30 and is required to have two or three tumbling “passes”

• Gymnasts must balance the difficulty of their tumbling skills and dance skills and should finish the routine as strongly as it was started

• Specific deductions are taken for stepping off the mat and for being out of sync with the music
