MORGANTOWN, W.V. – At the completion of Saturday's Morgantown Regional competition, Temple women's gymnastics head coach Umme Salim-Beasley was selected as a Co-Northeast Regional Coach of the Year. The second-year head coach received the honor alongside Michigan head coach Bev Plocki.
In just her second year at the helm for Temple women's gymnastics, Salim-Beasley has transformed the program and rewritten the record books. The 2017 team holds the top ten program scores of all time, sharing only one of those scores with a previous Temple squad. The Owls first set a new record on January 29 at West Virginia to replace the previous record originally set in 2004.
