WEST VIRGINIA GYMNASTICS

IN THE SPOTLIGHT

Choosing to become a Mountaineer is special. Without a professional sports team in the state, folks across the state and throughout the region love West Virginia University athletics. No school helps its student-athletes more than the people at WVU. Mountaineers have the unique opportunity to represent themselves, their teammates and their university to news media, alumni, friends, family and the general public. Your interaction with these groups is also part of your educational process. If you take advantage of these opportunities, it can have a positive effect, not only on your career as a student-athlete at West Virginia, but also on your life after you have donned the Old Gold and Blue.

Page 5: 2012 WVU Gymnastics Guide

Few gymnastics programs across the country can equate the level of success the Mountaineers have enjoyed over the years. Widely regarded as one of the most respected programs in the nation, the notoriety does not come without merit. The Mountaineers have a national presence, having competed at four national championships and 33 NCAA Regional Championships. Five gymnasts have won 13 All-America honors, while 17 have individually qualified for the NCAA National Championships. One of the founding members of the East Atlantic Gymnastics League (EAGL), the Mountaineers have won six league titles in 16 years and have never gone more than four seasons without a championship, winning their last in Morgantown in 2008. WVU has won 22 individual EAGL titles since 2000, including Amy Bieski’s 2011 bars victory, and collected five EAGL Gymnast of the Year honors and seven EAGL Outstanding Senior Gymnast awards; Bieski won both in 2011. A program built on the strong foundation laid down by 37-year coach Linda Burdette-Good, the Mountaineers are one victory away from 650 program wins. Burdette-Good accounted for 644 of the program’s victories and was the only WVU coach to earn 600 career wins with a Mountaineer team. Now under the leadership of first-year coach Jason Butts, the Mountaineers look to not only continue their winning ways, but also eclipse the program’s prior success and take WVU gymnastics to the next level with the understood goal of bringing a national championship trophy to Morgantown.

A WINNING TRADITION

CHAMPIONSHIP TEAMS

A championship program is not built overnight. Fully aware that hard work, dedication, teamwork and determination, coupled with a shared vision for success, produce accomplishments, the West Virginia gymnastics team enters each season working toward another trip to the NCAA National Championships and an EAGL title. With 33 NCAA Regional Championships and four national championships appearances to its name, the WVU program understands what it takes to reach the postseason. The Mountaineers have dominated the East Atlantic Gymnastics League since its inception in 1996, winning six league titles, including the 2008 crown in Morgantown, and never going more than four years between titles. Additionally, the squad has won 22 individual league crowns and a combined 17 individual league postseason honors. Prior to its move to the EAGL, WVU won four Atlantic 10 championships. Mountaineer gymnasts are winners in the classroom, too, as 87 gymnasts have been named Scholastic All-Americans by the National Association of College Gymnastics Coaches/Women since 1987.

Choosing to become a Mountaineer means working your hardest and pushing your body and mind to new heights, to maximize your potential on and off the mat. Five gymnasts have gone above and beyond to earn All-America status at West Virginia.

A NEW ERA

Following a five-year tenure that has seen him rise from assistant coach to associate head coach, Jason Butts has been elevated to West Virginia University’s third gymnastics head coach. A two-time (2009, ’10) Southeast Regional Assistant Coach of the Year, Butts has spent the last five seasons coaching the Mountaineers’ vault, floor and bars lineups. Butts has coached nine EAGL individual champions, two individual all-around NCAA Championships qualifiers, three EAGL Outstanding Senior Gymnasts, two EAGL Gymnasts of the Year and 57 all-EAGL honorees. A tireless recruiter and high-energy coach, Butts looks forward to putting WVU gymnastics at the top of the national spotlight as it competes for championships. With Butts at the helm, a new and exciting era of Mountaineer gymnastics is underway.

“I watched Jason begin as a young coach. He is a very loyal individual, and I think that will carry him far. He works tirelessly at what he does, and he also is very personable. From a recruiting standpoint, he has a warm personality. He’s just a super guy who cares about his athletes and understands the balance that should exist when you are dealing with student athletes. Jason is very dependable, and he’ll show up every day and do his job. There are so many positives to his makeup. I think he’s going to be very successful at West Virginia.”

- Jay Clark, head coach, Georgia

Page 9: 2012 WVU Gymnastics Guide

“Jason is young, eager and ready to take the WVU gymnastics program back to the national stage. His dedication to his student-athletes and to West Virginia University has proven him to be a sure success. I have watched him evolve over the last five years as a college coach, and he is truly in his element now as a leader. Not only has he generated excitement within his team, but he also has stirred a surge of excitement for all WVU gymnastics fans.”

- Mehgan Morris, (WVU gymnast 2006-09), 2009 EAGL Outstanding Senior Gymnast, 2009 NCAA Championships individual all-around qualifier

“Jason is a great young coach with lots of energy. He is an exceptional recruiter, who will carry on the great traditions and national respect that Linda Burdette-Good has built with our gymnastics program. Jason is really looking forward to this coaching opportunity, and I believe he will continue the success that our gymnastics program has enjoyed for almost 40 years.”

- Oliver Luck, WVU Director of Athletics

CARY GYM

West Virginia gymnastics, a program in the midst of its third decade, is housed in one of the finest practice facilities in the country: Cary Gymnasium, named in honor of the success and contributions of Bray and Dianne Cary. Bray, President and CEO of West Virginia Media Holdings, LLC in Charleston, is a graduate of WVU’s Perley Isaac Reed School of Journalism. His wife Dianne, also a WVU graduate, serves on the WVU Alumni Association Board of Directors. The Carys have endowed eight scholarships that are given annually to WVU student-athletes. The $1.5 million gymnastics training center was designed exclusively for the use of Mountaineer gymnastics and features the latest in comfort, technology and safety. At 12,000-square feet, the facility is one of the most spacious in the country. But it is the gym’s exclusive design that makes it so functional and practical; all four events have their own landing areas and safety zones, which makes for much more productive and efficient practices. Cary Gym’s list of equipment is impressive: seven competition-height balance beams, four low beams, one full-sized floor adjoined by a half-sized floor, three sets of bars, one single rail trainer (positioned over a loose foam pit), a trench bar trainer, two vaults with padded runways and a trampoline. In Cary Gym, gymnasts will also find a fully equipped training room with taping tables and a whirlpool. Next door in the locker room, each gymnast has her own spacious locker with an action shot of herself in competition. The WVU practice gym for the first 25 years was a tiny loft located in Stansbury Hall (where Jerry West and the Mountaineer basketball teams played until 1970). Cary Gym, nearly quadruple the size of the old practice loft, was part of former Athletic Director Ed Pastilong’s $10 million facilities commitment to seven varsity athletic programs.

ATHLETIC TRAINING The West Virginia athletic training program looks to get its student-athletes back on the field in a timely manner while providing quality health care for its student-athletes and coaches. The scope of the athletic training services encompass various domains which include injury recognition, treatment, rehabilitation, prevention, education and counseling that will enable the athlete to maintain an optimal quality of life beyond the span of athletic competition. Multiple athletic training rooms are available for student-athletes furnished with the latest in technology and equipment. The athletic training staff will work in conjunction with the team physicians and athletic administration to assure the student-athletes receive quality care throughout their careers at WVU.

STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING The primary goal of the WVU strength and conditioning program is to provide each student-athlete with the best hands-on strength and conditioning program in the country, with the best strength coaches and training facilities in the nation. The strength & conditioning coaches facilitate a training environment that enables each athlete to reach her full athletic potential. Our training philosophy is founded on preparation for excellence by consistently training with intensity and attention to detail, utilizing injury prevention and sports specific training methods. The Mountaineer gymnastics training programs are designed to prepare each gymnast for optimum performance in competition and to have the ability to withstand the rigorous training demands throughout the season. The goal is to keep the gymnasts in the gym practicing injury-free and sharpening their skills and routines every day. Mountaineer gymnasts train for dynamic and static strength, speed, explosive power, flexibility, core control and stability, and overall physical work capacity. The Mountaineer gymnastics weekly training program consists of a variety of challenges in each workout, whether it be lifting in the weight room, gym circuits, bike workouts, metabolic circuits or running the Coliseum stairs. Athletes are also educated in proper recovery strategies, including proper nutrition, hydration, rest and regeneration methods. We also have a registered dietician on staff to provide nutritional guidance and education to help each gymnast perform at her peak fitness level and athletic potential. The entire year is carefully planned and tailored to the gymnastics season to prepare for optimal performance during the season and peaking at championship meets. The Mountaineer strength and conditioning program produces character development opportunities, increased self-confidence, a strong work ethic, mental toughness, accountability and team camaraderie.

COMMUNITY SERVICE

Winning and working hard are important to the West Virginia University gymnastics team. Becoming successful and positive role models in and out of the gym is just as significant. The Mountaineers give back to Morgantown and its surrounding communities every chance they get. The Mountaineers are especially dedicated to raising funds for cancer projects and channel most of their efforts to the Betty Puskar Breast Care Center. The team, along with the WVU women’s soccer squad, participates in a yearly fashion show that benefits the Betty Puskar Breast Care Center. The event, which draws hundreds of residents from Morgantown and the surrounding communities, features breast cancer survivors and local women who become models for a day. With coach Jason Butts putting an equal emphasis on academics and athletics, the Mountaineers are constant participants in the “Read Aloud” program, visiting local schools and not only reading stories to the younger students, but also encouraging older students to apply themselves to their studies. The WVU gymnastics team understands the privileges that come with being a Mountaineer, and in appreciation of the gifts they receive, the team in turn spends free time with those in need, especially the young patients at the WVU Children’s Hospital. Finally, the Mountaineers all know that they have come a long way from their club days to wearing the Old Gold and Blue. Therefore, whenever the opportunity arises, team members can be found back at their club programs, passing on their knowledge to former teammates and future stars, furthering the development of their sport and giving back to those that helped them achieve the success they now own. Additionally, the team greets its young fans after every home meet, signing autographs and sharing smiles.

MOUNTAINEER FAMILY “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 over 40 years, and we look forward to building on that success.” - Coach Jason Butts

STUDENT-ATHLETE SUPPORT

West Virginia University offers a variety of services and programs to help student-athletes maximize their academic potential. Department staff members work with coaches, on campus student service providers and faculty to help student-athletes meet the unique demands of the classroom, the sporting arena and the personal-social challenges they face as developing adults. While many of the headlines center on the Mountaineers’ accomplishments on the playing field, West Virginia athletes have also made some noteworthy strides in the classroom. Some of those strides include a string of eight consecutive years where the department has had at least one first team Academic All-American. To help its student athletes achieve academic success, one of the nation’s finest facilities resides in the WVU Coliseum – The Athletic Academic Performance Center.

NCAA Certification West Virginia University received unconditional recertification in April 2010 from the NCAA Division I Committee on Athletics Certification, recognizing that the University’s athletic program is in “substantial conformity with operating principles” adopted by Division I schools. The purpose of athletics certification is to ensure integrity in the institution’s athletics program and to assist institutions in improving their athletics departments, the NCAA said.

STUDENT-ATHLETE SUPPORT

Graduation Rates West Virginia University’s graduation rate for student-athletes has been impressive, to say the least, over the past seven years. The ratio of student-athletes graduating to the general student body has increased almost every year. The graduation rate for student-athletes is based upon the number of students who entered the University receiving athletic scholarship aid in a given academic year, and their progress over six years. The most recent figures are based upon the progress of student-athletes who entered WVU during 2002-03.

APR The West Virginia University women’s soccer team, men’s basketball team and women’s cross country team received public recognition in the spring of 2010 by the NCAA for their latest multiyear Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores. These teams posted multiyear APRs in the top 10 percent of all squads in each sport. Each year, the NCAA honors selected Division I sports teams by publicly recognizing their latest multiyear APR. The APR provides a real-time look at a team’s academic success each semester by tracking the academic progress of each student-athlete on scholarship. The APR accounts for eligibility, retention and graduation and provides a measure of each team’s academic performance.

Student-Athlete Advisory Committee The Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) provides a forum for the “voice of the student-athlete” on WVU’s campus. SAAC membership provides feedback to administration about how to better WVU athletic programs. They offer input on the rules, regulations and policies that affect student-athletes’ lives on NCAA member institution campuses.

CHAMPS/Life Skills The many challenges that today’s college student-athletes face, both on and off the playing field, are unmatched in the history of higher education. Unfortunately, many students are not well prepared to face these challenges or encounter life issues that undermine health and success in college. To prepare student-athletes for the demands of college life and beyond, the NCAA developed the CHAMPS (Challenging Athletes Minds for Personal Success)/Life Skills program. In the spring of 1995, the West Virginia University Department of Intercollegiate Athletics initiated its own CHAMPS/Life Skills program. WVU was one of only 170 schools selected by the NCAA to participate in their national pilot program. Five programming “commitment” areas viewed as critical to personal growth are part of WVU’s model. They are: 1) academic excellence, 2) personal development, 3) career development, 4) athletic excellence and 5) community service.

team consisting of mostly former club gymnasts and guided WVU to a 5 2 record. Schnaible’s

lone season at the helm of the fledgling program produced wins against Pitt, Fairmont State (twice)

and Frostburg State (twice).

Linda Burdette-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.

She took the program from its infancy as a member of the West Virginia Conference in the

AIAW all the way to the NCAA Championships. The WVU alumna coached All-Americans Janàe Cox,

Lajuanda Moody, Kristin Quackenbush and Shari Retton and was named the 1995 NCAA Southeast Regional coach of the year. In 2004, she eclipsed the 500-win milestone, and in 2009, she amassed

over 600 victories, making her the all-time winningest Mountaineer coach with a WVU team.

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

1982 AIAW CHAMPIONSHIPS

Led by an unheralded freshman from Fairmont, W.Va., named Shari Retton, the 1982 gymnastics team surprised the country by finishing third at the AIAW championships in Memphis, Tenn. Coach Linda Burdette’s Mountaineers, at the University’s first ever national championships, finished behind first place Florida and runner up Alabama, and ahead of national powers Georgia, Ohio State, Brigham Young and Washington State, among others. Retton captured First Team All America honors on the vault, uneven parallel bars, floor exercise and the all around. WVU qualified for the championships by winning the EAIAW Regional at Clarion State. The Mountaineers scored 139.25 points to edge Yale’s 138.35. That title is still WVU’s only regional championship. The 1982 season saw 18 wins against seven losses. The biggest win of the season was a 142.30 142.10 victory against eventual national champion Florida, a meet that WVU won on the last gymnast of the last rotation. The 142.30 points was a school record at the time. Also during the 1982 season, West Virginia beat Duke, Kentucky, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Maryland and Pitt. A side note to the season were Retton’s ties to the athletic world. Her younger sister, Mary Lou, went on to become an Olympic Gold Medalist. Her father, Ronnie, played basketball for the Mountaineers from 1957 59.After winning four letters and graduating, Retton later married Mike Timko, a former Mountaineer quarterback (1985 87). The 1982 season was WVU’s last year in the AIAW after a nine year association. The Mountaineers began NCAA competition with the 1983 season.

1995 NCAA CHAMPIONSHIPS

After years of being on the outside looking in, the 1995 WVU gymnas-tics 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 Fresh-man of the Year honors. Coach Linda Burdette was named NCAA Southeast Regional Coach of the Year. Freshman Adriana Manago earned NACGC/W scholastic All America status, while WVU’s first ever trip to the NCAA Championships was highlighted by Quackenbush, the talented sophomore all arounder who earned second team All America honors on the floor exercise. The most rewarding accomplishment of the 1995 season was that of WVU’s three seniors, Liz Byrnes, Jenni Kaye and Shannon Migli, all of whom overcame injuries that plagued them their first three years in Mor-gantown to become major contributors in WVU’s run to the championships. Pictured here are the members of WVU’s 1995 NCAA team (left to right): front row: Allison Poteet and Lauren Schneider; second row: Salim, Angel Ricciulli, Hairston and Manago; third row: Kaye, Byrnes and Migli; fourth row: Kristen Fearney, Quackenbush and Leigh Miller.

1999 NCAA CHAMPIONSHIPS

What appeared initially as a tragedy for the 1999 West Virginia gymnastics team was actually an awakening. The Mountaineers had attained a 17-2 record prior to the East Atlantic Gymnastics League meet and entered the meet as one of only three schools from the EAGL ranked in the Top 25. For the first time since the inception of the EAGL in 1996, the Mountaineers failed to win the EAGL crown in 1999. But, despite finishing an uncharacteristic sixth at the EAGL Championships at Maryland, the Mountaineers couldn=t have scripted a more opportune time to amend that setback, regroup, and really let their true colors show than at the NCAA Regionals before the home crowd. West Virginia hosted the NCAA Region 6 Champion-ships at the WVU Coliseum, which assembled five of the top 25 teams in the country, including No. 2 Alabama. The Mountain-eers 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.WVU’s 1995 NCAA squad

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 vault-ing 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. Pictured below are members of WVU’s 1999 NCAA team (left to right): First Row: Nikki West and Debora Santiago; Second Row: Jaime Hill and Jessica Rohm; Third Row: Christen Simpson, Kristen Macrie and Kelly Foley; Fourth Row: Shirley Lee and Danielle Lilly; Fifth Row: Allison Pratus, Rebecca Slobig, Shannon Cox, Allison Gaidish and Jessica Nonnemacher.

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 Mountain-eers were destined to rewrite the WVU record book. West Virginia posted a 19-10 record and established four of the top 10 team scores in school history, including three of the top four. The Mountaineers also set school event records on the vault and beam and tied the school mark on bars. But despite its record-setting season, WVU struggled at the EAGL Championships, finishing a disappointing fifth. With a sour taste in their mouths the 2000 Mountaineers were 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 consider-ing the competition, which included No. 3 Utah and Top 25 teams Denver and Minnesota. The Mountaineers, largely behind the efforts of seniors Kelly Foley and Danielle Lilly, managed to scrap and claw their way to a second place finish. West Virginia proved its shaky performance at the EAGL meet to be an aberration by simply being more consistent than the opposition and earning a trip to the NCAA Championship in Boise, Idaho.

Although the Mountaineers finished in 12th place the 2000 season stands out as one where WVU showed tremendous determination and heart. The individual talent was amazing, but it was how the 2000 Mountain-eers jelled together that made the West Virginia coaching staff the proud-est. Sophomore Kristen Macrie proved to be the heart and soul of the team and was WVU’s most consistent gymnast throughout the year. Despite not leading the team in any individual event, Macrie=s consistency was her calling card for the season. The freshman class, which was called Athe best recruiting class ever,@ by coaches in the preseason, lived up to its billing with TeShawne Jack-son and Dinorh Boyd turning in numerous top five finishes, while Amanda Halovanic found her niche for the Mountaineers on vault and floor. But the 2000 season will forever be linked to its senior class of Foley, Lilly, Shirley Lee and Jessica Nonnemacher. Foley and Lilly provided much of the leadership, with each enjoying her finest season as a Mountaineer. Lee saw her season cut short at the midway point, but her early season performances provided the underclassmen with the opportunity to find their stride. One of the lasting images of the 2000 season will be of Non-nemacher, who despite being told by doctors in 1998 that her career was over, returned to compete on bars.

Record Book[ shari retton ]

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

A four-year letterwinner, Retton, just a freshman, helped the 10th-seed-ed Mountaineers finish third at those national championships, while she posted a third place individual finish in the all-around (36.30). Two-time team captain, Retton went on to earn a number of accolades, including NCAA regional balance beam champion, Most Valuable Gymnast and Atlantic 10 Senior of the Year. WVU qualified for the NCAA regionals each year during her career. She was inducted into the WVU Sports Hall of Fame in 2001. The daughter of Ronnie Retton, who captained WVU’s 1959 NCAA runner-up basketball team, the Fairmont, W.Va., native is the older sister of Olympic champion gymnast Mary Lou Retton; their brother Ron played baseball at WVU. Married to former WVU quarterback Mike Timko, Shari currently lives in Houston, Pa.
