Yvonne "Sam" Sandmire is coaching her 17th season at Boise State, and is on her way to leading the defending Western ' Gymnastic Conference champs to a repeat title. Although the ' gymnastics program does not receive the national recognition or ESPN coverage granted the football team, the gymnastics team is enjoying the most success of any Division 1 team in Boise State history. With the season well under way, Sandmire keeps the team fo- cused week in and week out. Sandmire envisions more than a repeat championship -- she expects nothing less than an NCAA regional qualification. In order to manage this, the Broncos have to produce six of their highest scores in the toughest environment -- on the road. But Sandrnire knows this isn't a pipe dream; it's a well with- in reach. She sees a lot of potential in the 2004 Broncos, and Sandrnire said the girls capitalize on their abilities with an equiva- lent work ethic.
