MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Following its second-best showing ever at an NCAA Regional Championships, the West Virginia University gymnastics team jumped eight spots and finished the 2015 season ranked No. 28 in the second-to-last GymInfo Poll.
The ranking is the Mountaineers’ (14-9, 1-1-1) highest position since sitting at No. 21 at the end of the 2012 season.
“This final ranking says that the team really bought into my message before the regional championships, and that was that we had to maximize our ranking at the end of the year because it will impact our scores in 2016,” said fourth-year coach Jason Butts.
