    NATIONAL COLLEGIATE WOMEN’S GYMNASTICS CHAMPIONSHIPS RECORDS BOOK 2015 Championship 2 History 4 Brackets 17 2015 CHAMPIONSHIP HIGHLIGHTS Florida’s McMurtry finishes off triumphant title victory: Alex McMurtry is the youngest member of the Florida gymnastics team. Maybe the 18-year-old isn’t old enough to feel pressure. Maybe she didn’t know she should. On the final rotation Saturday night -- the uneven bars -- Florida needed a 9.95 or better to win its third consecutive NCAA gymnastics title. All McMurtry did was execute her best routine of the season, earning a career-best 9.95 to propel the Gators a final score of 197.850 and the national championship. “I didn’t necessarily know what score I had to get,” McMurtey said. “I think that would have made it even harder for me so I knew I had a job to do and I knew my teammates had my back. Going last is sometimes a good position, sometimes a bad position, and we had five girls hit routines so I knew my teammates had my back and I just had to do my job. It all worked out for me and that was one of the best routines of my career.” “It’s amazing that she came out under this heavy pressure situation as a freshman and performed as well as she did everywhere,” Florida head coach Rhonda Faehn said.“To anchor that bar lineup, to have that fight for every little thing, it’s not only amazing, it speaks volumes for what she will continue to bring to this team in the future, which is exciting.” Faehn had her back to the scoreboard and paid no attention to the other teams competing.

    Valorie Kondos Field UCLA head coach Valorie Kondos Field has posi- tioned her Bruins as one of the premier programs in collegiate gymnastics. Not only has she consistently recruited and coached some of the top talent in the world, but she has produced the results. The Bruins won their fi rst NCAA championship in 1997 under Kondos Field and won again in back- to-back seasons in both 2000-2001 and 2003-2004. UCLA has remained the Leader of the Pac under her tenure, winning nine Pac-10 Conference titles, to go along with 13 NCAA Regional titles. Kondos Field emphasizes a team concept, but her student-athletes have also found individual success, winning 20 NCAA individual titles during her years as head coach, including 19 in the last 10 years. But even with all of her successes on the court, what gives Kondos Field most satisfaction is seeing her student-athletes succeed in all facets of their lives. Academics is a big part of that equation, and Head Coach Kondos Field's teams regularly place members 18th Year on the Pac-10 All-Academic teams and Scholastic All-American squads and annually contend for the UCLA '87 school's team GPA award. With legendary UCLA basketball coach John Wooden as her role model and cherished friend, Career Highlights Kondos Field's coaching philosophy stresses balance and integrity.
