44 Wildcat Gymnastics

Gail Goodspeed, now in her 34th season as the UNH head coach, has helped create one of the strongest programs in New England. The Wildcats have a tradition of sustained success as a top-tier team in the East Atlantic Gymnastics League (EAGL) and a perennial competitor in the NCAA Regional Championship while maintaining rigorous academic standards among the highest in the nation. In 2012, the Wildcats advanced to the AIAW/NCAA postseason for the 32nd time in Goodspeed’s 33 years at the helm when they competed at the Fayetteville Regional at the University of Arkansas. UNH completed the season ranked 31st in the nation. Austyn Fobes (bars), Kayla Gray (beam) and Danielle Reibold (bars) were each named to the 2012 All-EAGL First Team. Co-captain Ali Carr (vault, beam) and Jillian Hudson (vault) were both selected to the All-EAGL Second Team. Academically, the Wildcats garnered an Academic Progress Rate Public Recognition Award for the fourth consecutive year as one of only 16 Division I programs in the nation, one of only three New England schools (Brown, Yale) and one of only two EAGL programs (Rutgers) to be feted. The Wildcats ranked third among all New England programs with a cumulative 3.2232 GPA, which trailed only Ivy League schools Brown and Yale. Reibold, a biomedical science major, became the first Wildcat to ever be named the EAGL Scholar-Athlete of the Year. The four-time EAGL All-Academic Team member and four-time NACGC/W Scholastic All-American was the first ‘Cat gymnast to be commended as a league’s top scholar-athlete since Nicole Mullins won the ECAC Academic Gymnast of the Year award in 1993. Goodspeed’s successful track record includes five NCAA Northeast Region Head Coach of the Year awards, most recently in 2008. Previous honors were bestowed in 1991, 1994, 2001 and 2003, when she was also named the EAGL Coach of the Year. Several of Goodspeed’s athletes and teams have been part of UNH history-making performances. In 2006, senior captain Amanda Hall was the Northeast Regional Floor Champion and took third in the all-around. This qualified her for the NCAA National Championship, making her the seventh individual from UNH to earn such high honors. At the Championship, her score of 9.8 on vault narrowly missed qualifying her as an All-American. During the 2005 campaign, Amanda Hall and Mariana Peña Trestini scored a 9.975 on the floor exercise in the regular season, setting the new UNH record. In 2005 postseason action, Vanessa Berrios shared the Northeast Regional Balance Beam title with a score of 9.85, earning her a spot at the NCAA National Championship as the sixth individual to represent UNH. The 2003 Wildcats captured their first-ever EAGL Championship with a UNH school-record team total of 196.75. At the same competition, Tara Phillips vaulted perfectly, scoring her first ever 10.0, permanently etching her name among the University’s all-time greats. Goodspeed has guided the Wildcats to four ECAC Championships, appearances in 30 NCAA Regional Championships and two AIAW Regional Championships (prior to NCAA sponsorship) while building a 515-276-2 record. The ‘Cats won the 1994 NCAA Northeast Regional Championship and competed at the NCAA Championship in Salt Lake City, Utah. UNH finished that season as the 12th-ranked team in the country. In addition to the team qualification to the national championship, individuals have represented UNH at the national

championship 11 different times during Goodspeed’s tenure. “It has always been our goal to help each student-athlete strive to reach her full potential and accomplish this in a positive atmosphere. When this occurs, the team is successful and it’s fun for everyone,” Goodspeed states. Goodspeed earned a doctorate from the School of Education at Boston University in 1984. She has used this education to enhance the quality of the experience of practicing and competing. Her dissertation involved development and implementation of a comprehensive sport psychology program for female gymnasts. Aspects of the program are incorporated into the training plan at UNH. “We try to focus on those things over which we have control, including our own response to and perception of stressful situations. Training is intense and our team members are dedicated to each other and to the goal of achieving excellence,” Goodspeed says. Much of the strength and success of the UNH gymnastics program lies with the stability and dedication of the coaching staff. Goodspeed is married to associate head coach Ed Datti (32nd year/30th full time), and together, with additional assistants and support staff, they have developed one of the most respected programs in the Northeast. The staff added former Cal gymnast Jess Kelley as an assistant coach last season; Datti and Kelley combined to win the EAGL Assistant Coach of the Year and NCAA Northeast Regional Assistant Coach of the Year in 2012. A collegiate competitor from 1970-74 at Springfield College, Goodspeed captained the team her senior year and was a member of two AIAW National Championship teams. She was assistant coach for her alma mater in 1974-75 when the team placed 4th at the National Championship. Goodspeed was inducted into the Springfield College Hall of Fame in October 2002. She has served as treasurer of the National Coaches Association and served on the NCAA Women’s Gymnastics Committee. She was head coach of California State-Northridge for two years and was also a business manager and coach at the Montvale Gymnastics Club. Goodspeed holds a master’s degree from Springfield and earned a doctorate in Sports Psychology from Boston University. She and Ed have two daughters, 23-year-old Samantha and 19-year-old Brianna. Samantha graduated summa cum laude from Keene State College with a degree in Environmental Studies in May 2011. She was a four-year member of the Keene State volleyball team and captain for the last two seasons. Her Owls won the 2010 ECAC Tournament for the first time in school history. Brianna is a sophomore at the University of Connecticut, where she is enrolled in the environmental honors program and is a defensive specialist for the Huskies volleyball team. As a senior at Oyster River High School, she was the class valedictorian and was named the 2010 Division II Player of the Year for the second straight season after serving as the star libero and helping the Bobcats claim their first state championship since 1996. Goodspeed is a native of Kohler, Wis.

Ed Datti

Brianna Datti Sammy Datti


Ed Datti is in his 32nd year with the program, 30th as a full-time coach, in 2012-13. The associate head coach is known as one of the top assistants nationally. In 2012, he was named the EAGL Assistant Coach of the Year (with assistant coach Jess Kelley) for the second time in his career and the NCAA Northeast Regional Assistant Coach of the Year (with Kelley) for the ninth time in his career. He previously garnered the NCAA Regional Assistant Coach of the Year in 1991, ‘94, ‘97, 2001, ‘03, ‘06, ‘08 and ‘10; his previous EAGL Assistant Coach of the Year merit came in 2010. Datti is highly respected by his colleagues for his skills as a strong technical coach and outstanding spotter. UNH head coach Gail Goodspeed states: “Obviously, I am a little biased, but Ed is one of the best spotters in the nation. He can anticipate when a gymnast is in need of assistance and can react faster than seems possible. He also has the unique ability of knowing exactly how much assistance is needed. A great balance is created with his technical expertise and spotting ability to help all of our team members continue to improve and upgrade their skills.” At UNH, Datti is responsible for the majority of the recruiting and continues to bring top gymnasts to the UNH campus. He is the director of a highly successful summer camp and initiated a community class program. Datti also co-teaches a movement and gymnastics exploration class for the kinesiology department with Kelley. Datti is the former owner and head coach of the Montvale School of Gymnastics in Woburn, Mass. This was one of the first private gymnastics schools in Massachusetts and he coached several top USGF gymnasts during the 10 years of operating the club. Before his Montvale affiliation, Datti taught at Saxonville Elementary School in Framingham (Mass.) and coached the Framingham South High School girls gymnastics team. A 1971 graduate of Springfield (Mass.) College, Datti was a four-year competitor on the gymnastics squad. In his senior year, he was team captain and earned All-America honors in floor exercise. He is originally from Framingham, Mass.

COACHING ACHIEVEMENTS2012 - NCAA Northeast Region Assistant Coach of the Year2012 - EAGL Assistant Coach of Year

Jess Kelley, a former gymnast at the University of California, Berkeley, is in her second season on the coaching staff as an assistant coach in 2012-13 after serving two seasons as an assistant at her alma mater. Kelley was named the 2012 EAGL Assistant Coach of the Year (with Ed Datti) and the 2012 NCAA Northeast Regional Assistant Coach of the Year (with Datti) in her first season. During her two seasons coaching at Cal, Kelley had experience coaching all four events. In 2010-11, her primary responsibilities were on vault and uneven bars, while she focused on beam and floor during the ‘09-10 campaign, including assignments and lineups. She coached choreography for two seasons, and other duties included recruiting, fundraising, video and music editing and meet preparation. The 2006 Rookie of the Year and 2007 Team MVP transitioned into a coaching role during the 2009 campaign after sustaining a season-ending injury following the first meet of the year. She chose to stay with the team and help out as a student assistant for the remainder of what should have been her senior season of competition. After graduating in December 2009 with a Bachelor of Arts in American Studies, Kelley officially became an assistant coach. Kelley was a two-time West Regional participant during her Cal career, competing in the All-Around at Regionals in both 2007 and 2008. She just missed qualifying for the NCAA National Championships her junior year by .05. She is in the Cal record books for earning a 9.9 on beam in 2007 and a 9.875 on her floor routine during the 2008 season. Previously, Kelley competed with Airborne Gymnastics (1996-2005) in Santa Clara, Calif. Kelley holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Cal. She majored in American Studies with an emphasis in organizations in the American Workplace.

Dan Sedory serves as the athletic trainer for the UNH gymnastics team. He is in his 25th season with the gymnastics squad and is an integral member of the coaching staff. Sedory, a Pittsburgh native, graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a B.S. in Physical Education (1982) and received his Masters in Athletic Training from the University of Arizona (1984). Sedory is currently a clinical associate professor of athletic training at UNH. Since 1988 he has also served as the curriculum director for athletic training within the University’s department of kinesiology. With Sedory’s extensive work and commitment to enrichment, it has earned the distinction of being a CAATE Accredited Athletic Training Program. In 2006, he was honored for his contributions by receiving the “Most Distinguished Athletic Trainer Award” from NATA, awarded to role models for future leaders in the athletic training profession. This award came shortly after Sedory was named New Hampshire’s Most Distinguished Athletic Trainer of the Year for 2006. Also on his list of accolades is the NATA Athletic Trainer Service Award, which he received in 2001. Sedory served as an athletic trainer for the United States Olympic Committee Medical Staff at the U.S. Olympic Festival in Los Angeles in 1991 and with the Summer World University Games in 1993. He also served as the host athletic trainer for the World Gold Gymnastics tour appearance in Durham in 1996. The Wildcats are fortunate to have such a knowledgeable and well-respected athletic trainer on their coaching staff. “Dan has more experience as an athletic trainer for women’s gymnastics than anyone,” UNH head coach Gail Goodspeed states. “He knows the sport and the athletes. One of his greatest strengths is his ability to truly listen to our gymnasts and care about them as individuals.”



Dianna Kurowyckyj is serving as a student manager during her senior year after three years as an active mem-ber of the team. She assists head coach Gail Goodspeed in day-to-day operations of the program. Dianna, an economics major, set a personal best of 9.750 on balance beam in a home meet against Pittsburgh in 2010. In 2011, she competed on beam for the Wildcats in the NCAA Norman Regional at the University of Okla-homa. Dianna is a two-time member of the EAGL All-Academic Team (2011, ‘12) and was tabbed to the ‘11 NACGC/W Scholastic All-American team. Prior to coming to UNH, Dianna competed for coaches Chris McClain, Elena Oleinik and Glen Aser at Chelsea Piers in New York City. She was a Level 10 National Championship competitor in 2008 and ‘09. She placed first in beam at the ‘09 Level 10 Regional Championship and took first place in beam and third in all-around at that season’s state championship.

John Ciani is in his 11th season working with the UNH gymnastics program. The two basic goals of the strength and conditioning department are injury prevention and performance enhancement. The first goal, injury prevention, revolves around reducing the likelihood of the athlete getting injured during meets or practice by training the athlete as a unit and pinpointing weaknesses in the gymnast that need to be strengthened. The second goal, performance enhancement, centers on making the athlete a better athlete. This is done by educating the athlete on a wide range of training from Olympic-style weight lifting to teaching the athlete how to move more efficiently while running or during an agility drill. The strength and conditioning program plays a vital role in the success of UNH gymnastics. The athletes train virtually year-round in order to perform at their highest level throughout the regular season. The UNH gymnastics strength and conditioning program is a comprehensive training program that involves Olympic-style weightlifting, traditional strength training, plyometrics, agility/quickness training and sport-specific conditioning. Ciani, a native of the San Diego, Calif., area, came to UNH after a stint as assistant strength coach at the University of North Dakota. Ciani received his B.A. degree in Psychology from Long Beach State and attended graduate school at both Long Beach State and North Dakota. John lives in Berwick, Maine, with his wife, Angela, and son, Brennan.

The Jerry Azumah Performance Center opened its doors the summer of 2003 to UNH student-athletes. The monetary donation by Azumah, a former Pro Bowler with the Chicago Bears of the NFL, allowed the UNH athletic department to overhaul its existing strength and conditioning center. The massive workout facility, which was originally 4,000 square feet, grew to over 6,000 square feet in size during a summer renovation in 2009. The renovated center features 5,000 pounds of Olympic weights, 7,000 pounds of dumbbells, 18 Powerlift platform stations, 12 Hammer strength machines, an additional 15,000 pounds of weights and 1,500 square feet of warmup area. Other renovations included new offices for the Director and Associate Director of Strength and Conditioning.

Facilities The practice facility, which allows the UNH gymnasts to train and perform at the highest level, is heralded as one of the safest and most efficient training spots in New England.The UNH coaching staff has worked hard to ensure that the 8,500 square foot gymnasium has been well maintained and updated to meet the highest standards. The loose foam and solid foam pits, the two tumble tracks, the overhead spotting rigs, a rod tumbling strip, and all of the most updated gymnastics apparatus and matting make this a facility that continues to attract top-notch athletes. Recently, the coaching staff added an instant view playback system for all four events. This allows immediate feedback and enhances the training for the visual learner. During the Holiday break in December 2010, facility lighting was upgraded to further enhance safety while providing a more energy-efficient system. All the necessary tools are in place for the best collegiate gymnasts in the country to train and continue to learn new skills.

Two sites play host for the home gymnastics competitions, Lundholm Gymnasium and the Whittemore Center Arena. The Whittemore Center seats over 6,000 fans for gymnastics, while Lundholm Gymnasium seats approximately 2,500 fans for gymnastics. In 2010, Lundholm Gym was the host site for the EAGL Championship Meet. Previously, the Whittemore Center has been the host site of the NCAA Northeast Regional Championship and the EAGL Championship Meet, as well as the Fox Run Invitational. In 2003, the Whittemore Center entertained an EAGL record-breaking crowd to witness some of the highest-caliber gymnastics action ever seen on the Seacoast.

The UNH gymnastics program continues to expand and improve its training and competitive facility with its commitment to excellence. In 1994, one of the first groups to work all four years in the training facility won the ECAC conference championship, placed first in the NCAA Regional Championship and went on to qualify for the NCAA National Championship, ranking 12th in the country. The team has continued its strong tradition of excellence and set a team and conference scoring record in 2003 with a total team score of 196.750 while winning the EAGL Championship.

Regionals: The top 36 teams based on the Regional Qualifying Score (RQS) will be selected for the regional championships. A regional meet - consisting of six teams and five all-around competitors (who are not already on one of the six qualifying teams) and one individual specialist per event (who has a minimum RQS of 9.4) - is conducted in each of the six regions to determine the national championship participants. To obtain the RQS, each team selects its top six team scores with at least three of those scores from away meets, tossing out the highest score and averaging the remaining five. The top-18 teams are seeded on a national basis, based on their respective RQS. Teams seeded 19-36 are organized into three pods (19-24, 25-30 and 31-36) and placed geographically at one of the six regional sites, beginning with teams 19-24 followed by teams 25-30 and then finally teams 31-36. All-around competitors and event specialists are assigned to their respective geographic region or the designated site for their region. Attention also will be given to conference rematches and/or rankings. Nationals: The national championship consists of 12 teams and 12 all-around competitors. The top two teams and the top two all-around winners from each regional meet will receive an automatic berth to the national championships. In addition, each event winner may advance to the national championship (in that event only) if she is not already part of an advancing team or an all-around qualifier.

2012 Review/2013 Preview The 2012 UNH gymnastics team earned the 30th NCAA Regional appear-ance in the last 31 years and the 32nd overall postseason berth in head coach Gail Goodspeed’s 33 years at the University. The Wildcats, who finished the year ranked 31st nationally, scored a 195.225 at the EAGL Championship, eclipsing their team score from the ’11 EAGLs (when UNH finished second). UNH registered a 14-10 record, highlighted by an upset victory over No. 23 West Virginia and a season-high 195.800 at the UNH Invitational, which equaled the ninth-highest team score ever recorded by the ‘Cats. The squad capped the season by competing at the Fayetteville Regional, hosted by the University of Arkansas. Senior Ali Carr was feted as the team MVP following a season in which she earned a place on the All-EAGL Second Team on vault and bal-ance beam and garnered EAGL All-Tournament Second-Team honors on vault and uneven bars. The Chelmsford, Mass., native sported the Wildcats’ top vault mark in 11 of 13 meets, highlighted by first-place scores in four straight meets from Jan. 1-Feb. 10. Her season-high vault tally was a 9.875 against Pittsburgh on Jan. 21. Carr’s top bar mark of the season was a 9.900 against West Virginia on Feb. 25, and she tied for first place in bars against Pitt. The senior’s beam accolades included a pair of first-place finishes, the squad’s high mark in four meets and a personal-best 9.900 against WVU that resulted in her being named the EAGL Gymnast of the Week on Feb. 28. Senior Danielle Reibold, a biomedical science major, garnered recognition for her su-perb classroom merit by becoming the first Wild-cat to ever be named the EAGL Scholar-Athlete of the Year. The four-time EAGL All-Academic Team member and four-time NACGC/W Scho-lastic All-American was the first ‘Cat gymnast to be commended as a league’s top scholar-athlete since Nicole Mullins won the ECAC Academic Gymnast of the Year award in 1993. The Hor-sham, Pa., native boasted a team-leading 3.82 cumulative grade point average, including a perfect 4.0 GPA during the fall semester, and she was on the Dean’s List each of her semesters as a UNH student-athlete. Reibold was feted as an All-EAGL First Team gymnast on bars for the third consecutive year, and she tallied All-Tournament

First Team on bars and Second Team on beam. The senior recorded a season-high 9.875 on bars in a first-place effort in the Penn quad-meet Feb. 10. She tacked on first-place bar scores in three additional meets. Junior Austyn Fobes was tabbed to the All-EAGL First Team on bars one year after earning Second Team honors in that event. The junior was EAGL’s fourth-ranked bar performer with a season-high 9.925, which she scored in the upset win over the Mountaineers. After missing the first two meets of the season with a wrist injury, Fobes rebounded to gain at least a share of UNH’s top bar score in seven of the last 10 meets, including four first-place performances. The Howell, N.J., native registered a personal-best 9.900 on floor exercise at the EAGLs to lead the team to a season-high 49.175 floor score and a berth on the All-Tournament First Team. Fobes also tallied a place on the All-Tournament Second Team in all-around in her first AA performance of the season. Freshman Kayla Gray burst upon the scene by claiming a spot on the All-EAGL First Team on beam followed by a second-place finish in that event atEAGLs to land a spot on the All-Tournament First Team. Gray also notched All-Tournament Second Team on floor. The freshman posted EAGL’s No. 6 beam ranking during her rookie campaign with a career-high 9.900 during a quad-meet at Pennsyl-vania (Feb. 10) to win the EAGL Rookie of the Week award before equaling the mark at the UNH Invita-tional tri-meet (March 3). Gray was the Wildcats’ top scorer on beam six times and registered at least a share of first place in four meets. Sophomore Jillian Hudson, an All-EAGL Second Team vault competitor, collected the first all-league award of her career after notching the team’s top vault score in three meets, highlighted by a personal-best 9.850 against No. 17 Arizona (March 11) in which she tied Carr for second place. Hannah Barile received the team’s Most Improved Award on the heels of a consistent sophomore season, in particular on floor exercise, where she thrice hit for a career-high 9.850 and es-

tablished the team-high floor score four times, including two first-place results. Co-captain Court-ney Connors was hon-ored with the Most In-spirational Award. The junior rallied back from a mid-season injury that sidelined her for three meets to serve as an integral vault competi-tor over the final eight competitions and 10 of

13 overall. She closed out her season in fine form by sticking her landing for a season-high-matching 9.800 at the NCAA Fayetteville Regional on April 7. The Gatos Award was presented to senior Tasia Percevecz for her commitment to the Univer-sity’s strength and conditioning program. Percevecz was part of the floor lineup for all 13 meets, scoring a personal-best 9.800 to go along with a season-high 9.700 mark on vault in a tri-meet victory against Yale and Brown on Feb. 4. Associate head coach Ed Datti and assistant coach Jess Kelley were recognized as the 2012 EAGL Assistant Coaches of the Year and the NCAA Northeast Regional Assistant Coaches of the Year. Senior associate athletic director for compliance/senior woman administrator Michelle Bronner was the recipient of the Northeast Regional Administrator of the Year award. The Wildcat gymnasts were honored with a Public Recognition Award for demonstrating com-mitment to academic progress and retention of student-athletes by achieving a top NCAA Division I Academic Progress Rate (APR). The team recorded a perfect APR of 1,000. The score measures eligibility and retention each semester and provides a clear pic-ture of the program’s academic culture. The Wildcats garnered the honor for the fourth consecutive year as one of only 16 D- I programs in the nation, one of only three New England schools (Brown, Yale) and one of only two EAGL programs (Rutgers) to be feted. Reibold headlined a list of seven Wildcats to earn NACGC/W Scholastic All-America accolades, as UNH ranked third among N.E. schools (Brown, Yale) with a cumulative team GPA of 3.2232. She was joined by Carr, Connors, Jen Aucoin, Hudson, Carly Stote and Gray. UNH placed an EAGL-leading 15 members and 79% of its roster on the EAGL All-Academic

2012 Season Highs & Results

UNH Gymnastics 2012 Season-Highs

Team. Four-time honoree Reibold was joined by three-time winners Carr, senior Kate McGeever and Connors. Aucoin, Jannelle Minichiello, Barile, Hudson, Dianna Kurowyckyj, Erin Machado and Stote each were named to the team for the second time in their careers. Percevecz joined freshmen Gray, Adrienne Hill and Erika Rudiger as first-time representatives. The 2013 team is ready to continue the proud tradition of UNH gymnastics and is on track to once again perform as one of the top teams in the Northeast. The top six gymnasts are strong on vault and bars; however more depth is needed on these two events. Expect beam and floor to be the strongest events with more options for possible competitors. Twelve gymnasts return from last year’s squad and nine freshmen joined them in late August. Seniors Aucoin and Connors will lead the team as co-captains. The beginning of the competitive season has four of the first five meets in the comfort of home in Lundholm Gym. The first two home meets feature EAGL rivals Rutgers and North Carolina State. Sunday, Jan. 6, is the opener with Rutgers at 1 p.m. and the Wildcats take on N.C. State on Friday, Jan. 18, at 7 p.m. A trip to Central Michigan is the only away meet of the first five and will be held in Mount Pleasant, Mich. on Friday, January 11, at 7 p.m. All three of these first meets will be highly competitive. The last weekend in January finds Temple and Brown in town on the 26th for a 4 p.m. meet. EAGL opponent George Washington and Ivy League foe Yale will conclude this run of home meets on Sunday, Feb. 3, at 1 p.m. The next three weekends find the ‘Cats on the road with EAGL opponents Maryland, Towson and a second meeting with N.C. State at Maryland on Feb. 8 at 7 p.m. This is followed by a long trip to Air Force Academy for a tri-meet that includes Lindenwood, a newly-added D-I program at 6 p.m. on Feb. 16. The three weekends of road trips conclude with a tough competition at West Virginia on Sunday, February 24, where Michigan and Towson will round out a quad-meet scheduled for 2 p.m. The squad will welcome a return to campus with the UNH Invitational where Towson, Yale and Brown will compete on Saturday, March 2, at 4 p.m. This will be Senior Day where the careers of Aucoin, Connors, Fobes and Becca Marrama as well as senior student manager Kurowyckyj will be celebrated. The rest of the season is on the road with Penn State on March 9 at 4 p.m. featuring the Nittany Lions, Temple and Pennsylvania. UNH will compete at Kent State on March 15 at 7 p.m. to end the regular season. The last time UNH traveled to Kent State was for an NCAA Regional Meet in 1995 when the Flashes were part of the Northeast Region. The Wildcats placed third in that Regional, just .025 points behind the hosts, who placed second. The EAGL Championship will be held at the University of North Carolina on March 23 at 2 p.m. West Virginia has moved on to the Big 12 Conference and Towson, an EAGL charter member, has accepted an invitation to return to the league for the first time since departing after the 2004 season. The NCAA Regional meets will be held on April 6 at Oklahoma, Oregon State, Florida, Ohio State, West Virginia and Alabama with the National Championship at UCLA from April 19-21.

Uneven BarsThe 2013 vault squad will look very familiar with five of the top seven back in action. These five returning athletes all scored 9.75 or better last season. The squad is searching for depth from the other returning gymnasts and the newcomers.

Austyn Fobes (pictured) has a dynamic and consistent Yurchenko full (round off onto the board, back handspring, back layout full). Once again she will be an anchor for vaulting. SV=10.0

Jillian Hudson stepped up in 2012 to compete as one of the top UNH vaulters. She should once again be a solid contributor and is working to stick her Yurchenko full. SV=10.0

Hannah Barile com-petes a piked Quervo (front handspring, half twist back pike salto off). This unique vault is more difficult than it is given credit for in the judging system. Hannah is work-ing to perfect this vault and fall training has her as one of the most consis-tent vaulters this season. SV=10.0

Cour tney Connors showed great consisten-cy last year and will once again be counted on for her Yurchenko full. She needs to stick her vault to contribute all she can on this event. SV=10.0

Erika Rudiger competed a Yurchenko half and a Yurchenko full last season. She focused on the full this summer and fall with great success. Erika should step in as a key vaulter for the 2013 season. SV=10.0

The sixth spot in the lineup is up for grabs!

Lauren Brodie is a newcomer who competed a Yurchenko full in the Junior Olympic program and is just returning from a sprained ankle. She should see action as the season progresses.

Elissa Solomon is also a freshman who should contribute on the event as she is capable of performing a Yurchenko half.

Alexa Profit competed a Yurchenko half and is working to solidify this vault as the collegiate program is only given one opportunity to hit a vault.

Catarina Broccoli, Jannelle Minichiello and Rebekah Bubnar are all training 10.0 vaults. Any one of them could be ready as the season progresses.

The 2013 bar squad will have to make up for two top bar routines from last year, Ali Carr and Danielle Reibold. A combination of experienced athletes and some newcomers will have to step up to meet the challenge. Depth will be an issue, but there is great potential for an outstanding bar lineup again this year. Fobes has proven to be one of the top competitors in the nation on this event (PB of 9.95) and will once again be a dynamic force. She competes a high-flying Tkachev, Pak salto and competed a double layout dismount last season. She is working on adding a full twist to the dismount. Austyn has shown she can do this routine with perfect execution. Jen Aucoin (pictured) returns to this event having scored extremely well for the Wildcats all last year. She swings a dynamic, clean routine that the judges love, and she should be a solid competitor again this year. She does a unique free hip circle hop hand change to an immediate straddle back handstand which is loaded with judging bonus points. Rudiger has speed, power and a tenacity to be solid this year. She can be an outstanding uneven bar competitor and should compete a dynamic routine including a Jaeger and an upgraded dismount series which includes a full twisting giant and a solid full twisting double back. Kayla Gray has the potential to be great on this event. She has beautiful lines and swings skills that are flawless. She has missed some training time this fall, but should be ready to go. Some of her highlights include a toe shoot half immediate Jaeger and a beautiful stalder immediate toe front half dismount. Barile is very close to adding a high flying Geinger to her already solid bar routine. Like Aucoin she does a unique combination with a hop change to straddle back handstand and a great double lay out dismount. If she can combine that with the Geinger she will excel on bars and be a welcome addition to the lineup. Brodie has experience on this event and can perform a solid routine with a Jaeger, blind change to pike back handstand and a double lay out dismount. She has the ability to step into the lineup and make a big contribution on bars. Broccoli has the routine that can score extremely well for the ‘Cats. She has excellent form and execution on her blind half to Jaeger and is upgrading her dismount to a double layout. If she can become consistent in the gym she will add to the team’s depth. Hudson, Minichiello and Alie Davis have made major improvements on this event and all have routines to watch. Jillian can put together a series of skills that receive the bonus needed to compete on this event. Jannelle has upgraded her dismount series to a giant full to blind change to double front dismount. Alie and Jannelle perform nice Pak saltos that give them the high level release required. Bubnar , Cassy I zzo , Cour tney Thompson and Solomon all have the ability to work their way into the lineup. Each of these athletes needs to make steps towards improving a sk il l or cleaning up execution to contend for a spot. All of them have the dedication and drive to make that happen.

Wildcats To Watch

Vault

Returnees: Jen Aucoin, Hannah Barile, Courtney Connors, Alie Davis, Austyn Fobes, Kayla Gray, Adrienne Hill, Jillian Hudson, Erin Machado, Becca Marrama, Jannelle Minichiello, Erika RudigerNewcomers: Kelsey Aucoin, Lauren Brodie, Rebekah Bubnar, Catarina Broccoli, Cassy Izzo, Brittany Prestia, Alexa Profit, Elissa Solomon, Courtney Thompson



Wildcats To WatchBalance Beam Danielle Reibold and Ali Carr were also the anchors in the 2012 beam lineup and will be missed, but beam continues to be a strength for UNH with more depth than the other events; deciding who competes will be a nice problem to have. Kayla Gray performs one of the most impressive beam routines in the country and is joined by Elissa Solomon to anchor the team with two underclassmen.

Gray met and exceeded expectations as a freshman and scored a personal best of 9.9 both home and away. She has a unique routine and has an artistry and style that will catch everyone’s eye. Judges never have to deter-mine if a skill or combination is performed well enough to receive credit as Kayla performs every skill to per-fection. Her “Popa” (straddle jump with a full turn) is text-book as are all of her other dance combinations.

Solomon adds another solid beam routine with a great switch leap to gainer lay-out combination and solid tumbling and dance. She has lost some training time this fall but should be back into action quickly. Elissa performs with great rhythm and confidence and the ‘Cats will be counting on her to be consistent on her best event.

Minichiello (pictured) has been first up on beam the past two years and proved she can handle the pressure and bring a solid performance. She has a personal best of 9.775 and can improve upon this if she can add her triple flight of back handspring-layout-layout. This must be solid in practice to take the risk in competition.

Broccoli is one of the newcomers who shows signs of being one of the best for the ‘Cats on beam. She is extremely clean and has a nice routine with unique combinations of dance and tumbling. These include a front aerial to straddle jump and a split jump back pike.

Jen Aucoin is very consistent on beam with a nice gainer layout and a solid back handspring-layout. She performs with a quick rhythm and finishes solid with a gainer full.

Fobes is solidifying a nice beam routine. Her flight has changed to a back handspring-back tuck and her side somi is impressive. She incorporates a nice split jump full and a wolf jump to tuck full to take this routine to a 10.0 start value.

Brittany Prestia is another newcomer who could crack the beam lineup. She competes a front-aerial to immediate back handspring-layout that is impressive. She also has a nice side aerial and finishes with a round off back layout 1 ½ twist.

Izzo has great potential on all four events with beam as her best. If she can be-come more consistent she has the ability to compete a round off layout mount, perform a solid back handspring-layout and perform with great execution.

Barile, Rudiger, Davis and Erin Machado can all make an impact to make this one of the most highly contested events.

Floor Exercise New choreography and solid tumbling should make floor exercise one of the best events. Assistant coach Jess Kelley has done much of the choreography and the routines fit the style and abilities of each gymnast. Four of the top returnees have scored 9.85 and 9.9 to make this a stellar event.

Fobes has tumbling and dance to entertain any audience. Her most likely tumbling passes will include a front 2/1 full-punch front, Rudi and double pike. She also trains a full-in and a front layout-front full. Austyn’s dance is clean and her performance style is strong.

Barile is coming into her own this year with strong off-season training. She will start the year opening with a great double pike and should be able to compete a full in for a first pass as the season progresses. Hannah is solid with a front full-front layout in the middle and a double back to finish. She is in great shape and has an upbeat routine that is fun to watch.

Gray has a new routine that emphasizes her beautiful dance and exquisite style as she begins the set with a perfect Popa to tuck jump 1 ½ . She has had limited training time this fall due to minor injuries but will be ready to impress this season.

Rudiger also trained hard in the off-season to accomplish her goals. Her new music and choreography fit her perfectly and show off her power. She will open the season with a double pike, front layout-front full and a double tuck. Her double layout should be ready this year if she can harness her power and land with precision.

Machado (pictured) has shown that she can contribute the big numbers on floor. She has worked hard to perfect all of her skills and can consistently land her tumbling passes without deduction. Erin

competes a double pike, a front full-front layout and finishes with a Rudi.

Minichiello has not yet shown the UNH fans all she is capable of on floor. Jannelle has the ability to do a double Arabian for a first pass, whip ½ - front layout in the middle and finish her routine with a strong double back . She maintains a natural smile throughout her routine that makes her a joy to watch.

Brodie is great on floor and was second in a strong Junior Olympic Region V Level 10 meet in both 2011 and 2012. As Lauren gets back to full training following an early season ankle sprain, she will com-pete a double pike, whip ½ - front full and finish with a double tuck.

Connors also entertains with a great smile and has a new routine that will open with a Rudi-layout, return with a double back and finish with a Rudi. Her choreography fits every part of her music and could be a “fan favorite” this season.

Hudson and Becca Marrama can be solid on floor. Davis could be outstanding if she can solidify her tumbling and newcomers Broccoli, Solomon, Prestia, Bubnar and Izzo all have the ability to challenge for a spot in the lineup to add great depth.

EAGL

What does “EAGL” stand for? Coaches from four different conferences joined together 17 years ago to form the “East Atlantic Gymnastics League” to provide top caliber competition for some strong women’s gymnastics teams. Teams from the America East (UNH), Big East (Pittsburgh, Rutgers and West Virginia), Atlantic Coast Conference (North Carolina, North Carolina State and Maryland) and Colonial Athletic Association (Towson) initiated one

of the strongest postseason meets in the country. George Washington University, an Atlantic 10 team, replaced Towson in 2005, but the Tigers return in 2013 to replace Big 12-bound West Virginia . Every team in the league has improved and added top recruits so the ‘13 championship should be extremely competitive and exciting.

2013 EAGL ChampionshipSaturday, March 23, 2 p.m.

On March 23, 1996, freshman Cara Lepper (Southington, Conn.) highlighted the final home meet of the season as she broke her own school record and became only the second Wildcat gymnast ever to score a perfect 10.0 as she posted a perfect score on the balance beam. Lepper’s previous school record was a 9.875.

Lori Brady 10.0 Vault

On March 20, 2003, in a record-breaking team performance, junior Tara Phillips (Spring, Texas) set a record of her own. As only the third gymnast to score a 10.0, Phillips posted a perfect score on the vault in front of her home crowd while hosting the 2003 EAGL Championship. Phillips’ performance beat out her previous 9.950 career high.

Highlights

Year-by-Year Prior to Gail Goodspeed:

Pur-r-r-fect 10s

On January 18, 1992, in a victory over the University of Vermont, UNH senior co-captain Lori Brady (Pocasset, Mass.) achieved a longtime goal as she performed a flawless handspring-front piked salto and became the first collegiate gymnast to ever score a perfect “10” on vault. Brady went on to qualify for her third NCAA Championship where she became the first UNH gymnast to be named an All-American.

University of New Hampshire

The mission of the intercollegiate athletics program at UNH is to provide student-athletes a collegiate experience that is enriched by their participation in programs which are competitive at the NCAA Division I level both regionally and nationally. The intercollegiate athletics program also plays an important role by enhancing the quality of life for the University and statewide community by being a source of pride and identification with the University while always maintaining high standards of academic scholarship and integrity. To fulfill its mission, the intercollegiate program must: (1) Provide student-athletes every opportunity to meet academic and athletic demands with the goal of graduating every student-athlete; (2) Provide resources necessary to field competitive teams with league affiliations, and to gain regional and national recognition; (3) Provide equitable opportunities for all intercollegiate athletics by the active recruitment of minority athletes, and provide equitable opportunities for all women student-athletes commensurate with that of their male counterparts; (4) Provide excellent facilities for all student-athletes to train, practice and play; (5) Conduct all operations within state and federal law, University policies, rules of the NCAA, and athletics conferences in which the University competes.

UNH Diversity Statement The University seeks excellence through diversity among its administrators, faculty, staff, and students. The University prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, disability, veteran status, or marital status. The University of

New Hampshire is committed to creating a more diverse community, knowing that “inclusion, diversity and equity are values inextricably linked to our mission of educational excellence.” This diversity strengthens our ability to reach our individual and collective potential and to provide better services and care for all faculty, staff and students. The University of New Hampshire was originally founded as a land-grant college whose mission was to shape and educate citizenry among the state’s farmers, business people and engineers. Today, the University is a land-, sea-, and space-grant university serving a growing undergraduate student body of about 12,000 and a graduate popula-tion of 2,300 in addition to 600 full-time faculty members, 92% of which have earned their doctorate degree. The University has grown into a top public research university occupying 2,600 acres of classic living and learning space, while still maintaining the look and feel of a New England liberal arts college with a faculty dedicated to teaching. UNH’s student to faculty ratio registers at 18:1. As one of the most prestigious institutions in the Northeast, the University of New Hampshire has always been recognized as a leader in education and research, span-ning all fields of study and uniting them through interdisciplinary programs, labs, farms, theatres, research centers and libraries. Founded in 1866 as the New Hampshire College of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts, UNH was among the early state institutions of higher education whose formation was made possible by federal government land grants. The purpose for the grants was to establish colleges that would serve the sons and daughters of farming and laboring families. New Hampshire College was originally situated in Hanover, N.H. Here it was in connection with Dartmouth College before moving to Durham in 1893 after Benjamin Thompson bequeathed land and money to further the development of the college. The state legislature then granted its new charter as the University of New Hampshire in 1923. The University hosts nearly 550 international students from more than 40 countries and boasts a population of students from 49 states. Along with over 100 majors offered, UNH encompasses seven schools and colleges that undergraduates can choose from: the College of Liberal Arts, College of Engineering and Physical Sciences, School of Health and Human Services, College of Life Sciences and Agricultures, Whittemore School of Business and Economics and the Thompson School of Applied Science. And at the very heart of the University’s under-graduate studies is the General Education Program. The GEP is a core program with a breadth of academic subjects that aims to acquaint the student with some of the major modes of thought necessary to under-stand oneself, others, society and the world. The University prides itself as being a top 10 entrepreneurial campus (Forbes.com and The Princeton Review) and is among the top 30 universi-ties nationally in science research funding from NASA. UNH is home to the NASA-recognized Space Science Center; the Institute for Study for Earth, Oceans and Space; and the Institute of Marine Science and Engineering. The English program is staffed by an inspiring faculty of winners of the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, the MacArthur Fellowship, the Edgar Allen Poe Award and the Young Poets Award. In addition, the Whittemore School of Business and Economics, established in 1962, was recently selected second among all business schools in a nationwide pool of business school deans.

Distinguished Alumni

New Hampshire also graduates students who attend top-notch graduate schools, including Law School at Harvard and Cornell, Engineering at Stanford, and Medical School at Dartmouth, John Hopkins and Harvard. There have been over $9 million in capitol improvements to the Athletic Department since the summer of 2000. Most recently, as part of a $650,000 renovation project in the summer of 2011, the field turf at Bremner Field was replaced with a new state-of-the-art surface used by many varsity teams and for student recreational activities. In the fall of 2008, the Paul Sweet Oval renovation was completed to include new surfaces, lighting, painting, infrastructure upgrades and the replacement of windows that existed in the original architecture. The total cost of the project exceeded $500,000. In the summer of 2007, the Cowell Stadium grass field was replaced with a $1 million Field Turf synthetic surface. Additionally in 2007, a complete renovation of Lundholm Gymnasium was undertaken. The $600,000 renovation included a new state-of-the-art bleacher system, new scoreboards, competition baskets and other aesthetic enhancements. In addition to the incredible improvements of its athletic facilities, the University has upgraded and renovated a large part of its academic campus as well. Thompson Hall, one of the standing historical landmarks of the University, has been beautifully refurbished and restored. The University also completed a $52 million renovation of Kingsbury Hall, adding 6,000 square feet of student project space for students in the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences, as well as a $4.5 revamp of Hewitt Hall to expand the School of Health and Human Services. In addition, the new 120,000 square foot Biological Sciences Building, Rudman Hall and the Spaulding Life Sciences Renovation project now provide state-of-the-art teaching and researching laboratories. The University also spent $15 million to complete Morse Hall, a science and engineering building as well as $8.2 million to modernize the Memorial Union Building. This revision to the existing student union building consisted of several upgrades including top kitchen and dining facilities, two theaters, student mailboxes, lounges and meeting rooms, as well as additional retail spaces such as the University Bookstore. The University has also completed construction of the new dining facility on Main Street, Holloway Commons, as well as the renovation of the Dimond Library. In November 1995, construction of the $27 million Recreation and Sport Complex reached completion. The Whittemore Center includes a state-of-the-art 6,500 to 7,500 seat arena for hockey, concerts and convocations, as well as a three-level recreational sports facility within the structure which had housed the old Snively Arena. Combining the atmosphere of a small New England liberal arts college with the resources and opportunities of a major research university, the University of New Hampshire is a place where all students can find or create their own niche and succeed. While the University offers an extremely broad academic base with an inspiring faculty, it also provides students with thousands of opportunities to get involved, either through athletics, campus recreation, student life or research. The University is a dynamic community that not only challenges its members academically but also expands their understanding and appreciation of cultural diversity and leads to incredible growth as students, faculty, staff and as a community.

Mark W. Huddleston became the 19th president of the University of New Hampshire in July 2007, bringing three decades of experience in public and private education as a faculty member, dean, and senior administrator. Huddleston has been a strong advocate for increasing affordability and accessibility in higher education, and has argued that we need to rethink much of what we do to protect our core missions, and to ensure that higher educa-tion remains vital and financially sustainable in the 21st century. In February 2010, he presented a 10-year strategic plan for UNH, the result of an intensive collaboration between faculty, students, staff, alumni, and the University’s wider communities. Emphasizing innovation and entrepreneur-ship, the plan is helping to guide the University’s response to a historic state budget cut passed by the 2011 New Hampshire Legislature.

“The strategic plan commits us to finding new ways to teach, learn, discover, create, and engage in the 21st century—and positions UNH to become a national leader in the redefinition of American higher education,” Huddleston says. Huddleston was raised in Syracuse, N.Y., and was the first member of his family ever to attend college. He earned his bachelor’s degree in political science from the State University of New York-Buffalo, and both a master’s degree and Ph.D. in political science from the University of Wisconsin–Madison. He began his academic career at SUNY-Buffalo in 1977 as an assistant professor of political science. In 1980, he joined the faculty of the University of Delaware, where he served for the next 24 years. There, he chaired the Department of Political Science and International Relations and served as associate provost for international programs. In 2001, he was named dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, overseeing 45 academic departments and centers with nearly 900 full-time faculty and staff, and serving in that capacity until he was named president of Ohio Wesleyan University in 2004. An author of numerous books and articles, he has been a consultant for both the U.S. government and international organizations. He also served as an adviser in Bosnia on rebuilding financial and administrative infrastructures after the Dayton accords. Huddleston is chair of the Presidents Council of the America East Conference, an incorporator of the New Hampshire

Charitable Foundation, and a member of the Board of Trustees of the Speedway Children’s Charities. Huddleston and his wife, Emma Bricker, have three children, Andy, Kate, and Giles.

Marty Scarano - Director of Athletics The 2012-13 academic year marks the 13th season Marty Scarano has served as the Director of Athletics at UNH. During his tenure, Scarano has heightened national exposure for UNH athletics with academics, facility renovations and programmatic advancement being top priorities. His many accomplishments played a key role in UNH being named one of the Top 20 Athletic Departments in the Country in U.S. News and World Report college athletics rankings. With a Graduation Success Rate (GSR) of 89 percent among its student-athletes in 2011-12, UNH ranked third in the America East Conference and fourth in the Colonial Athletic Association. The men’s soccer, women’s cross country/track, gymnastics, women’s ski,

and volleyball teams all posted perfect 100 percent GSRs while five additional programs tallied scores of 90 or above. The NCAA honored four Wildcat teams for multi-year Academic Progress Rates (APRs) in the top 10 percent of all teams in its respective sports. The Wildcat men’s ice hockey team and gymnastics both recorded perfect APRs of 1,000, while the men’s outdoor track & field team tallied 997 points and women’s indoor track & field notched 995. In 2007, Scarano was named the All-American Football Foundation Athletic Director of the Year for FCS football in the Northeast region. Scarano was also awarded the National Association of College Directors of Athletics (NACDA) AD of the Year for the FCS. Scarano has also been an active member in the leadership of UNH’s three major conferences and was the chair of the executive committees for Atlantic 10 football, Hockey East and America East from 2003 to 2007. He also served as chair of the NCAA Division I Men’s Ice Hockey Committee in 2005-06 and 2006-07 and is currently on the America East Executive Council. Most recently, Scarano was a member of the Hockey East Restructuring team that successfully recruited Notre Dame and the University of Con-necticut to the conference. Outside of athletics, Scarano is in his 10th year on the Board of Corporators at Canterbury Shaker Village, a non-profit museum located in Canterbury, N.H. Scarano has focused on moving UNH athletics into the collegiate national arena. To accomplish that goal, the University has taken on the task of hosting major NCAA championships. The Wildcat athletic department has played host to highly successful NCAA Men’s Ice Hockey Northeast Region-als at the Verizon Wireless Arena (Manchester, N.H.) in 2004, 2007, 2009 and 2011 and will host again in 2013. UNH has also had the opportunity to host two NCAA Women’s Ice Hockey Frozen Fours at the Whittemore Center in 2002 and 2005. In addition, UNH successfully hosted the 2007 NCAA Skiing Championships in Washington Valley as well as the 2005 NCAA Women’s Gymnastics Northeast Regional at the Whittemore Center Arena. Before arriving at UNH, Scarano held the position of Athletics Director at Colorado College from July 1996 through June 2000. During his tenure, Colorado College was ranked among the top 20 Division III programs in the Sears Cup national standings and produced several All-Americans, all-academic award winners and NCAA post-graduate scholarship recipients. Prior to his stay in Colorado Springs, Scarano worked for 13 years at Colgate University, where he served as assistant director of athletics, director of physical education, associate director, and senior associate director. Scarano, a native of Pittsburgh, Pa., is a 1978 graduate of Penn State University, where he started his athletic career as assistant ticket manager and the athlet-ics events manager from 1980-83. Scarano holds a Master’s Degree in Environmental History from Colgate. He and his wife, Cydney, have three children, Lyndon, Kyle, a sophomore at UNH, and Corey.

Athletic excellence is part of the formula for success in the collegiate experience for University of New Hampshire gymnasts. The primary measure of achievement is the student-athlete’s success in the classroom. UNH is dedicated to enhancing the student-athlete’s ability to achieve academic excellence and has one of the top graduation rates in the country. Realizing the time commitment the gymnasts give to the school, the University administers a comprehensive program of academic support services that is available to Wildcat gymnasts and all other student-athletes. This program includes the monitoring of academic progress, providing tutorial services, access to a well-equipped student-athlete academic center, as well as interacting with the academic advisors within the various colleges. Serving as Assistant Athletic Director for Academic Services since 1994 is Joanne Maldari, a 1990 graduate of Holy Cross who went on to earn her master’s degree in Athletic Counseling at Springfield College. She was recognized for her outstanding efforts at UNH by receiving the University’s 2001 Academic Advising Award. Before coming to Durham, Maldari served athletic counseling internships at Springfield and Central Connecticut State University. Cathy Leach assists Maldari and enters her 10th year of working directly with women’s gymnastics student-athletes. Leach was the Women’s Sports Information Director from 1985-88 and served as interim Women’s Athletic Director in the 1989-90 season before working in admissions from 1990-2001. Since 1990, the National Association of College Gymnastics Coaches/Women (NACGC/W) has recognized gymnasts who have excelled both in competition and the classroom. In 2012, senior Danielle Reibold boasted a perfect 4.0 GPA to headline seven UNH gymnasts that received Scholastic All-America awards. UNH, which recorded a cumulative 3.2232 GPA, ranked 47th nationally and third among New England schools, trailing only Brown (sixth, 3.6414 GPA) and Yale (14th, 3.4571).

Alumni Achievement - Dr. Katy LillyKatarina “Katy” Fader Lilly, M.D, was honored Saturday, Nov. 3, 2012, dur-ing the University of New Hampshire Alumni Association’s annual Alumni Achievement Awards Ceremony recognizing eight outstanding alumni who have made notable contributions to the UNH community, the state or the nation. A member of the class of 2000, Dr. Lilly was the recipient of the Young Alumna Achievement Award. The former UNH gymnast, who returned to New Hampshire in 2007, has been an active participant in the University community. As the volunteer physician for the women’s gym-nastics team, Dr. Lilly attends nearly every home meet. A regular panelist for the UNH Health Professions Seminar, she also invites students interest-ed in practicing medicine to observe at her medical practice. Her profes-sional accomplishments include an excellence in pediatrics award, medical volunteer work in Kenya, and the establishment of healthGIVES, a “giving circle” of medical providers that supports local nonprofits; the group raised more than $40,000 its first year. It seems fitting that Dr. Lilly and her family once dressed for a fundraising event as The Incredibles, the Disney family whose mission is to do good. Already this young alum can say, mission ac-complished.

athletic hall of fame - nicole mullinsNicole Mullins worked her way from walk-on status as a freshman to be-coming one of the most decorated gymnasts in UNH history by the con-clusion of her senior year in 1994. The Dixfield, Maine, native led the gym-nastics team to the ‘94 ECAC Championship, the University’s one and only NCAA Regional Championship and a school-record No. 12 national ranking. On June 23, 2012, she was inducted into the UNH Athletics Hall of Fame. During that memorable senior season, Mullins was named the ECAC Gymnast of the Year and took home the ECAC individual championships in all-around, uneven bars and balance beam. She was named ECAC All-Conference in all three of those events and was tabbed to the NCAA All-Northeast Team after winning the AA Regional Title. As a junior in ’93, Nicole was the ECAC champion in all-around and uneven bars, was an NIT All-America First Team member on bars and floor and a Second Team honoree in AA. She was additionally honored as the ECAC Academic Gymnast of the Year, the Wildcats’ team MVP and went on to earn All-Northeast recognition in all-around and on beam. During her sophomore season in ’92, Mullins became just the third student-athlete in UNH history to qualify for the NCAA Championship after capturing the bars crown at the Northeast Regional. She collected UNH’s Most Improved and Most Inspirational awards. Nicole walked on to the UNH gymnastics program as a freshman and earned a full scholarship after a stellar rookie season. She was the gym-nastics team’s first-ever, four-time NACGC/W Scholastic All-American, was a two-time UNH Academic Athletic Achievement recipient (1993, ‘94) and was feted as a Wildcat Winner’s Circle Scholar-Athlete in ’93.

KATIE BALDWIN Academic Excellence Award

Following each home meet, the UNH gymnastics staff will select a gymnast to receive the Katie Baldwin Expression Award. This award will be presented to the gymnast who best exemplifies the team spirit, performance artistry and personality of Katie Baldwin. Here is a list of the 2012 recipients: January 15 -Erin Machado vs Penn State January 21- Kate McGeever and Ali Carr vs PittsburghFebruary 4- Austyn Fobes vs Yale, BrownFebruary 25- Adrienne Hill vs West Virginia March 3- Kayla Gray vs. Maryland, Bridgeport, BrownMarch 11 - Danielle Reibold vs Arizona

The Academic Excellence Award was established in 2002 and is awarded in memory of Katie Baldwin to the gymnast with the highest grade point average. In 2012, Danielle Reibold, a biomedical science major, became the first UNH student-athlete to win the award three times. Reibold garnered recognition for her superb classroom merit one month after becoming the first Wildcat to ever be named the EAGL Scholar-Athlete of the Year. The four-time EAGL All-Academic Team member and four-time NACGC/W Scholastic All-American was the first ‘Cat gymnast to be commended as a league’s top scholar-athlete since Nicole Mullins won the ECAC Academic Gymnast of the Year award in 1993. The Horsham, Pa., native boasted a team-leading 3.82 cumulative grade point average, including a perfect 4.0 GPA during the fall semester, and she made the Dean’s List each of her first semesters as a UNH student-athlete. Past recipients include Michelle Harley (2002), Mellory Giberson (2003), Heather Moore (2004), Lindsay Kovary (2006), two-time honoree Rebekah Porter (2005, 2007), Katie Caliendo (2008) and Courtney Connors (2010).

In November 2000, Katie Baldwin, a 20-year-old University of New Hampshire junior gymnast from Dover, Pa., passed away from a pulmonary embolism. Katie was an exceptional person who touched many lives. She was an outstanding athlete, scholar and friend. When everyone thinks of Katie, they always see her smile. It seems to be a smile that no one can, or will, ever forget. Katie was an NACGC/W Scholastic All-American both of her years and part of the EAGL All-Academic Team in both seasons. She made Dean’s List all four semesters and earned a grade point average of 3.81. She was a Dean’s Scholarship Award recipient and also a UNH academic athletic achievement award recipient in both 1999 and 2000. She was a three-event gymnast for UNH with career highs of 9.75 on bars, 9.575 on beam and 9.6 on the floor. She was named the team’s Most Improved Gymnast in 1999.

VaultVaulting requires speed, quickness and explosive power. Vaults are divided into three categories; handsprings, Tsukaharas 1/4 & 1/2 turn entry, and round-off entry. The collegiate program has its own table for the starting value of all vaults with a maximum value of 10.0. Deductions may be taken in three phases of the vault — preflight (board to the table), support (when touching table), and after-flight (distance and height) from the table to point of landing. Only one vault will be performed per competitor.

Uneven Bars A bar routine should be composed of elements from different groups: kips, cast and counter swings, underswing and clear hip circles, giant swings backward and forward, stalder circles and circle swings and hechts. Special requirements include a minimum of two bar changes, two different flight elements, minimum 2 different “C‘s” or a

“B” and a “D”, one element with longitudinal axis turn of “C” value or greater and a dismount of at least “C” value. A strong routine shows elements with great amplitude, release moves, grip changes and direction changes and difficulty well-balanced throughout the routine. Pauses for concentration, intermediate swings and uncharacteristic elements are to be avoided. If a fall occurs, the gymnast must resume the exercise within 45 seconds.

Balance BeamThe beam routine should be composed of elements from the following groups: acrobatic elements with and without

flight; dance elements such as turns, leaps or jumps and hops; running combinations; balance elements in a stand, sit and lying positions; and body waves. Special requirements of this event are an acrobatic series of a minimum of two flight elements - one which must be at least a C with or without hand support (both elements must start and finish on the beam), dance series of two or more elements one which must be “C’’ value or greater, a minimum of 360 degree turn, a leap or jump requiring 180 degree split (front or side) and at least a “C” dismount or a “B” preceded by and directly connected to any “C” or greater element. Performing on the four-inch beam requires precise movement and intense concentration; each wobble results in a deduction. The routine must finish under 90 seconds. If a fall

occurs, a gymnast must resume the exercise within 30 seconds.

Floor ExerciseFloor exercise is a combination of dance, tumbling and acrobatics performed to music. The composition of the exercise must show harmony between gymnastics and acrobatic elements, create dynamic changes in rhythm and levels, and show versatile use of the entire floor. The routine must contain one acrobatic series with two (2) saltos (same or different), OR two (2) directly connected saltos. (If the two (2) saltos are not directly connected, they must be included in an acrobatic series, which is defined as a minimum of three acrobatic flight elements, with or without hand support) Three (3) different saltos are also required throughout the routine. A dance pass with a minimum of two (2), directly or indirectly connected leaps or jumps; one of which is a leap (one foot take-off) requiring a minimum of 180°split fulfills the dance expectations. A minimum of “C” salto as the last isolated salto or within the last salto connection completes the special requirements.

In collegiate team competition, six gymnasts perform on each of the four apparatus. The five best scores per event are added together to form the cumulative team total. At least two judges are required to evaluate an athlete’s performance. The scores are averaged to arrive at a final mark. Collegiate programs follow the rules developed for the Level 10 Junior Olympic program with some modifications. Optional routines, put together by the gymnast to express herself through the skills she may perform best, are based from a starting score of 9.5, with a possibility of an additional .5 bonus for performing greater difficulty and special connections of skills. Skills are divided into different categories (A,B,C,D,E), with E containing the highest level of difficulty. Each event has special requirements that must be met.

Judges use the following categories to evaluate optional routines: •ValueParts(difficulty) 2.2 •SpecialRequirements 2.0 •AdditiveValue 0.5 •Execution,Combination&Artistry 5.3 •Total 10.0 General: Each event has defined basic requirements for choice of elements “up to the competition level.” If not met, the deduction is .10.

Other deductions are taken for such things as bent arms and legs, separation of legs, incomplete turns or lack of full stretch and insufficient artistry of presentation.
