Last season, then first-year Sun Devil gymnastics coach Jay Santos posed a question to his players after a hard practice.

"Who's working as hard as they ever have in their life?" he asked.

Most of Santos' student-athletes raised their hands, but Santos had news for them.

"I said, 'Okay, great, but I'm still going to need more from you.'"

Santos and associate head coach Jessica Santos knew that rebuilding the program would be a process littered with ups and downs when they took over last season.
