It would be great to see it all put together. With the coaching staff and the kids we have, we’re in a very positive environment right now. It may not show right away, but I really think we have the team to put it together. We’ll see when they get out on the floor.” The coaching staff has seen some changes in the off-season that Richards said will be very beneficial to the team. TeShawne Jackson has been hired as an assistant coach, joining Janet Anson in the role. The two coached together at Iowa State and have said they are excited to be working together again. With the new hire, roles of the coaching staff was changed around a bit. Anson has moved to coaching specifically the vault and floor events, while Jackson will be coaching the balance beam. Richards has moved back to coaching girls on the bars, which he said is his favorite event to coach. “We all coach every event though and when we see things, we’ll say something, but these are our main priorities,” Richards said. Luckily, the entire coaching staff is on the same page and has similar goals that they are working together to achieve. “We all see the same thing and are working toward the kids fighting and not giving up. We’re all expecting a lot of each other to keep the girls going and keep them focused on their goals and to keep a positive attitude in the gym,” Senior Rebecca Holliday is one of two Aggie seniors.

Janet Anson is in her third year with the Utah State gymnastics program.

After being responsible for beam coaching duties and floor choreography during her first two years with the Aggies, Anson is switching to vault and floor this season.

Anson, a native of Kansas City, Mo., comes to USU after two years as a volunteer assistant coach at Iowa State, where she shared coaching responsibilities for floor and vault, along with planning floor workouts and endurance training.

“I’m very excited for her to be here. I think she brings a lot of experience to the table, both from her time competing and her coaching career, learning from Iowa State head coach Jay Ronayne,” Richards said.

Last season, Anson coached NCAA Regional Championship qualifiers Nicole Simoneau on beam, along with all-arounders Lyndsie Boone, Jackie Dillon and Rachel Vaske.

The Cyclones had three Big 12 individual co-champions, winning a share of the beam, vault and bars titles.

“She was a national competitor all four years she was at Iowa State, leading them to the Super Six one year. I think she’ll bring out a great deal of experience from the high level competitive meets to help the girls mentally and physically in those late season big meets like conference championships, regional meets and hopefully soon, the NCAA championships,” Richards said.

“Being a part of a Super 16 and going to nationals, she under- stands what it takes. She has instilled in them to keep fighting. Everyone has injuries, but you have to keep pushing. She has done a wonderful job of keeping them focused and getting them to fight,” Richards said.

Richards is familiar with both Anson’s competitiveness and coaching skills, having coached against her when he was an assistant at Iowa, and he’s excited about them progressing from foes to allies.

“She’s a fierce competitor, and she brings that to her coaching. I think she’ll be able to help the girls focus and find that competitiveness within themselves,” Richards said.

Anson’s two seasons coaching at Iowa State came after her very successful career there, and she is one of the most decorated gymnasts in Iowa State history.

Anson earned All-American accolades eight times, and she was also a two-time Big 12 Gymnast of the Year in 2006 and 2007. Her honors and award collection also includes the 2007 American Award, 2007 North Central Region Gymnast of the Year, 2007 Kansas City Sports Commission Female Collegiate Athlete of the Year and 2007 Honda Sports Award Finalist. Anson also qualified for the NCAA individual finals all four years she competed, was a three-time Big 12 champion, two-time regional champion and NCAA runner-up on vault. She was also the two-time Iowa State Female Athlete of the Year in 2004 and 2006 in addition to being the first-ever Cyclone Nation “Ms. Cyclone.”

Off the floor of competition, she was also a member of the Iowa State Student-Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC) and the Big 12 Good Works Team.

In addition to her Iowa State coaching duties, Anson was also the team Director/Optional Coach for Cardinal Gymnastics Academy in Ames, Iowa.

Anson earned her bachelor’s degree in health and human performance from Iowa State in 2007. Five-Time Conference Champions 6 2012 Utah State Gymnastics

TeShawne Jackson is in her first year with the Utah State gymnastics program.

Jackson will handle beam coaching duties and floor choreography for the Aggies.

“TeShawne will bring a high level of experience to the team. She helped lead Iowa State to two consecutive regional appearances and coached Janet Anson to an all-conference finish on both beam and floor and a second-place finish at the NCAA Central Re- gional,” Richards said. “TeShawne has an eye for perfection and the persistence to make it happen. She knows what it takes to make changes and will out-work anyone to make it happen.”

Jackson brings six years of coaching experience to Utah State, including three years at Iowa State, where she not only coached fellow current Aggie assistant Janet Anson, but also coached with her, as they were both assistants for the Cyclones from 2008-09. T eShawne Prior to USU, Jackson was a team compulsory/optional coach for Jackson Coral Reef Gymnastics in Weston, Fla. for one season. Before that, Jackson was at Iowa State for three years, where she was chore- Assistant Coach ographer and coached the 2009 Big 12 beam champion, Jasmine First Year Thompson.

Jackson helped lead the Cyclones to consecutive NCAA B.A. Physical Education Regional appearances, a co-runner up finish at the 2007 Central Re- gional and second-place finish at the 2008 Big 12 Championships.

Lyndsie Boone is in her first year on the Utah State coaching staff, serving as a graduate assistant coach after being a highly successful four-year letterwinner for the Aggies.

“Lyndsie was a great gymnast for us for four years and has matured into an incredible young woman. She is working on her MBA and wanted to learn more about the business side of gymnastics. Her business skills, combined with her gymnastics knowledge have been a tremendous help in the day-to-day operations of the program,” Richards said.

A native of Winthrop Harbor, Ill., Boone’s duties will be working with all events during practice and meets, as well as some office work.

“Lyndsie’s communication skills make her an incredible coach and the student-athletes respond to her coaching style very well. As a head coach you try to surround yourself with capable, hard working, self motivated people and Lyndsie emulates these qualities and has set a standard that will be hard to be equaled by GA’s that L yndsie Boone will follow,” Richards said.

Graduate Assistant Coach Prior to joining the coaching ranks, Boone was a four-year NCAA First Year regional qualifier, competing in the all-around in 2009, 2010 and 2011 after qualifying on beam in 2008. She was also a three-time Utah State, 2011 academic all-WAC honoree as well as a three-time USU Joe E. and Elma Whitesides Scholar Athlete Award recipient.

Felley-Jackson will handle various duties, both in the gym during practice and meets, as well as limited office duties. “Nicki has been helping out at floor with tumbling. She comes from a really good gym, so she had to condition really hard and knows what it takes to work hard,” USU head coach Jeff Richards said. “ She wasn’t a kid that could just get out there and do it. She was a kid that had to condition, condition, condition.” Felley-Jackson served as the captain of the USU gymnastics team her junior and senior years of 2008 and 2009. She graduated from Utah State in 2009 with a bachelor’s degree in exercise science.

While competing for the Aggies, Felley-Jackson was a two-time NCAA North Central Regional qualifier in the all-around her junior and senior seasons.

N icki She was also a three-time all-WAC honoree. As a senior, Felley- Felley-Jackson Jackson earned second-team all-WAC accolades after finishing fifth in the all-around with a 38.925. As a junior she led USU in the all- around and ranked ninth in the WAC and 17th in the region. Volunteer Assistant Coach Third Year “It has been great to have her coaching on the floor because she knows how hard she had to work to get it. She didn’t always suc- Utah State, 2009 ceed, and workouts are hard, but she knows you have to somehow B.A. Exercise Science find a way to make it through it and make it happen,” Richards said. Off the floor of competition, Felley-Jackson was a three-time academic all-WAC honoree in addition to the USU Joe E. and Elma Wh- itesides Scholar-Athlete Award all four years she competed.

Prior to her USU career, Felley-Jackson competed as a Level 10 gymnast for Chris Burdette and Kim Zmeskal as a member of Texas Dreams. In addition to winning the 2004 Texas state title on floor, Felley-Jack- son placed second on beam at the Level 10 Regionals and at the Level 10 Nationals, she placed eighth on floor and 10th on vault. At the 2005 Junior Olympic Championships, she finished ninth in the all-around.

21 NCAA Appearances 31 2012 Utah State Gymnastics UTAH STATE GYMNASTICS WALL OF FAME The Wall of Fame was dedicated in 1985 to honor past gymnasts for their accomplishments in the gym, in the classroom and for their overall contributions to the program. A Utah State gymnast must do one of four things to be nominated to be honored on the Wall of Fame: graduate from USU after competing for four years; qualify for the NCAA championships as an individual; earn All-American status; or represent the gymnast’s home nation in international competition. The coaching staff nominates gymnasts, and a committee subsequently votes on those nominees.
