On Monday, LSU assistant gymnastics coach Ashleigh Gnat announced she would be stepping away from the program to “pursue personal goals and new opportunities.” According to The Advocate’s Scott Rabalais, she’s taking a job with leotard company GK Elite. The beam coach and former LSU gymnast had spent all but one season in Baton Rouge since her freshman season in 2014 either as a gymnast, graduate assistant coach or full-time assistant coach. In 2020, she worked at Penn State as a floor coach.
Bugs, as everyone calls her, is one of the greatest, most accomplished athletes in LSU athletics history.
