PIONEER GYMNASTICS
EARNS TEAM AND INDIVIDUAL SCHOLASTIC HONORS
DENTON,
TX—The 2002-03 Texas Woman's University gymnastics
team ranked No. 9 in the 2003 National Association of Collegiate
Gymnastics Coaches/Women (NACGC/W) Top 50 Scholastic rankings
with a team grade point average of 3.47. The NACGC/W Top
50 ranks all women's gymnastics programs in the United
States in NCAA Divisions I, II, III. TWU's team GPA places
it first among Division II institutions.
“I
am very proud of the hard work that all of my gymnasts put
into their class work. This honor says a lot about the type
of student-athletes we have at Texas Woman's University,” head
coach Frank Kudlac said. “Not only did these ladies
win a national championship this season, but they found time
to excel in the classroom as well. This is a great honor
for our team and TWU.”
Eleven
Pioneers were named Scholastic All-Americans, finishing the
school year with a 3.50 GPA or better. From this year's team,
they are senior Brandi Smith (Smithville, TX/Smithville
H.S.), senior Kim Holland (McKinney, TX/Allen H.S.), senior
Stephanie Loudat (Houston, TX/Cy-Falls H.S.), senior Luci
Romberg (Foxfield, CO/Cherry Creek H.S.), sophomore Erin
MacNabb (Glenwood, MD/ Notre Dame Prep.), sophomore Jennifer
Bolli (Rockwall, TX/Rockwall H.S.), sophomore Jessica Brozovich
(Broomfield, CO/Erie H.S.), sophomore Lauren Kondikoff
(Mesquite, TX/Dallas Christian H.S.), freshman Bethany
Rehm (St. Charles, MO/Francis Howell H.S.), freshman Aubree
Murray (Farmers Branch, TX/R.L. Turner H.S.) and freshman
Nakia Westbrook (Round Rock, TX/Round Rock H.S.).
The 11
Scholastic All-Americans are the most of any Division II
school in the Top 50 list and it ties the 1994 Pioneer gymnastics
team which also had 11 Scholastic All-Americans. The 3.47
team GPA is the highest team average TWU has recorded since
they started ranking the NACGC/W Top 50 in 1990. The Pioneers
previous high team GPA was recorded in 2002 at a 3.40.
