MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Sometimes, a head coach struggles when summarizing a team’s year.
And sometimes, he doesn’t.
“We were nothing if not consistent this season,” West Virginia University gymnastics head coach Jason Butts said through a laugh. “We had a throwaway meet at Denver to open the year, but after that we hit that 195.0 mark, and there was no turning back.”
The Mountaineers opened the 2016 season with a rough 193.65 showing at No. 16 Denver on Jan. 9 and closed the year with a slightly disappointing 194.25 performance at the NCAA Tuscaloosa Regional Championships on April 2.
