UCLA Gymnastics: Coach Valerie Kondos Field to retire after 2019

“Bittersweet”, says it all. That what UCLA Gymnastics head coach Valerie Kondos Field said in a tweet on Thursday morning when she announced that she will be retiring at the end of the 2019 season.

A legend will be leaving UCLA and though it will be hard to move on without UCLA gymnastics’ most decorated coach, it has also been a pleasure to have Kondos Field represent the Bruins for nearly four decades.

Kondos Field will retire after the upcoming season, completing 29 years at the helm of the gymnastics squad and 37 total as part of the Bruins’ coaching staff.
