A native of Gaithersburg, Maryland, Fontaine was a three year, level 10 gymnast and three-time Junior Olympics National Championship qualifier at Hill’s Gymnastics.
“Erica has a lot of potential on all four events, but we’re especially excited to see her compete balance beam for the Mountaineers,” Butts said. “She comes from a great family, and I think her personality is really going to add a lot to this team in the fall.”
The 2016 Region 7 Level 10 balance beam and all-around champion, Fontaine also finished third on vault and floor and sixth on bars at the championships.
