[ www.OwlSports.com • @TempleOwls ] HEAD COACH JOSH NILSON 3rd Season Utah State ‘10 Josh Nilson, who brought in 13 years of coaching experience, was hired as head coach of Temple women’s gymnastics in July 2018. In his second season at the helm of the program in 2020, Nilson led the Owls to yet another historic campaign. Although season was cut short with one competition left in the regular season due to COVID-19, Temple was named ECAC Champions for the second year in a row, as the team held the highest overall NQS in the conference. Nilson was also named ECAC Coach of the Year for the second year in a row, while four gymnasts earned major conference awards (Ariana Castrence- Athlete of the Year, Madison Brooks- Co-Rookie of the Year, Jordyn Oster- Co-Specialist of the Year, Jaylene Everett- Scholar-Athlete of the Year). In addition to leading the ECAC in overall NQS, the Cherry and White were ranked first as a team in the ECAC on vault, bars and floor and held the second spot on beam at the end of the season. A Temple gymnast led the ECAC in each event category (Ariana Castrence- vault, floor, AA, Jazmyn Estrella- bars, Delaney Garin- beam). The Temple squad posted five scores of 194 and above and three of 195 and above in shortened season. The team’s 2020 campaign featured numerous impressive individual and team performances, many of which earned places in the record books. Castrence broke the program’s all-around record with a 39.275 and Estrella broke the bars record with a 9.95, which was the highest score by a Temple gymnast on any event since 2002. The team set a new vault record with a 49.15 and recorded the fifth-highest vault score in school history (48.975). On bars, the squad posted the second-best (49.3) and fifth-best (49.025) scores ever. The Cherry and White also set the program’s second-highest beam score (49.1) and fifth-highest floor score (49.1). As a team, the Owls scored the third (195.575, fifth (195.075) and sixth (195.000) highest overall scores in Temple history. Seven Owls combined for 18 spots on All-ECAC teams and 12 gymnasts were named to the ECAC All-Academic team. The squad earned a 3.58 GPA in fall 2019, which is the program’s highest semester GPA on record. Nilson made program history in his first year leading the Cherry and White, as he led the team to its first ever ECAC Championship title in 2019. Nilson was named the ECAC Coach of the Year, assistant Rachel Inniss earned ECAC Assistant Coach of the Year and three gymnasts took home ECAC Yearly Awards (Ariana Castrence- Rookie of the Year, Monica Servidio- Co-Gymnast of the Year and India Anderson- Specialist of the Year). Monica Servidio broke the program’s all-around record and the beam lineup at ECACs reset the team’s beam record. The Owls posted ten scores of 194 and above in 2019, including two of 195 and above. Last year, the team had eight scores above 194. It tallied three in 2017 and a total of 11 in the previous 19 seasons combined. Six Owls combined for 15 spots on All-ECAC teams and 11 earned places on the All-Academic team. The team sent three individual gymnasts (Servidio- Beam, Ariana Castrence- Vault, India Anderson- Floor) to the NCAA Athens Regional, tying the most Temple has ever had qualify for the event. Servidio was the program’s first ever qualifier on beam and Anderson was the first qualifier on floor. On the academic front, the team boasts a 990 multiyear APR and earned a 3.54 GPA in fall 2018. This was the second-highest semester GPA in the past 10 years. During the 2017-18 season at Air Force, Nilson helped guide the Falcons to their highest conference finish in six years, and their highest USAG Collegiate Nationals finish in seven years. In 2016, Nilson started as the first assistant coach at Penn State before serving as the co-interim head coach in his final months before heading to Air Force. While Nilson was with the Nittany Lions as co-interim head coach, they saw a jump from 45th in the nation to 31st in the final four competitions of the year, while qualifying two all-around competitors to the NCAA Championships. He was also nominated for Northeast Regional Co-Head Coach of the Year honors. Additionally, Nilson served as the recruiting coordinator for Penn State, while also working to schedule future competitions. He was the team’s primary coach on both uneven bars and vault, in addition to being the main spotter on all four events. From 2013-16, Nilson was the first assistant coach at Utah State and the head coach for vault and uneven bars.
