West Virginia University sophomore gymnast Jordan Gillette had an almost-perfect rookie campaign with the Mountaineers in 2015. Inserted into the balance beam and floor exercise lineups three meets into the year, she competed a no-fall season – meaning, she hit all 16 of her routines. Even more impressive, all 10 of the beam routines the Natrona Heights, Pennsylvania, native competed counted toward the Mountaineers’ team score.
Buoyed by a career-high 9.85 beam score, earned at the season-ending 2015 NCAA Morgantown Regional Championships on April 4, Gillette attacked her offseason workouts, returning to Cary Gym just three days later to begin her self-paced cardio and training sessions.
