Tumblers' Tales: Building Lasting Legacies

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Three West Virginia University gymnasts will make their curtain calls at the WVU Coliseum this evening: Melissa Idell, Jaida Lawrence and Audrey Tolbert.

“All three of these gymnasts are so different, and I have such positive feelings about each of them,” fifth-year Mountaineer coach Jason Butts said. “I judge my senior classes by how sad I am to have ‘Senior Night,’ and this is one of the nights I’m upset to see because I’m going to miss each of these gymnasts.
