TEMPLE WOMEN’S GYMNASTICS
HEAD COACH UMME SALIM-BEASLEY SECOND SEASON • West Virginia ‘98 Career Record • 17-21 Highest Score • 192.525 Umme Salim-Beasley (ooome) was hired as Temple's head women's gymnastics coach in late April, 2015. Salim-Beasley had spent the previous four seasons as an assistant coach at Rutgers University, and was named the East Atlantic Gymnastics League (EAGL) Assistant Coach of the Year in 2014. In her first season with the Owls, Salim-Beasley led the team to a season-high score of 192.525 at the ECAC Championships to cap off the season. At the championshis, four Owls brought home a collective six conference medals, including a gold from Briana Odom. Salim-Beasley also coached Odom to a second-place all-around finish with the programs' second-highest score of 39.05. In 2016, the team posted 14 individual event scores of 9.8 or above, improving the mark of nine from the 2015 season. In her four years at Rutgers, Salim-Beasley served as the recruiting coordinator for the Scarlet Knights and worked with the uneven bars, among other day-to-day duties for the program. Salim-Beasley helped Rutgers to a NCAA Regional berth in 2014 and its best EAGL finish in school history. Uneven bars were a big part of the success, as four gymnasts earned all-conference in the event. In addition, Salim-Beasley guided one of her student-athletes, Alexis Gunzelman, to the top regional qualifying score (RQS) in the conference on bars (9.845) on the way to the first NCAA National all-around appearance by a Scarlet Knight in program history. Gunzelman posted a 9.800 at the national meet, her eighth consecutive meet with at least that score to end the season. As recruiting coordinator, Salim-Beasley expanded the Scarlet Knights' base nationally to attract top talent from outside the area. Traditionally recruiting in New Jersey and the surrounding states, the Scarlet Knights were able to pull in gymnasts from Florida, South Carolina, Arizona and Massachusetts. Salim-Beasley brought impressive credentials to Rutgers, having competed collegiately at West Virginia University from 1995 to 1998. A native of Pasadena, Md., she was a two-time national qualifier at Hill's Gymnastic Training Center in Gaithersburg, Md., before earning a full scholarship to WVU. Salim-Beasley was named Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Year as a freshman at West Virginia, and earned spots on the All-EAGL
First Team in all-around, bars and beam her sophomore and junior seasons. She finished off her career by being named the EAGL Gymnast of the Year and Most Outstanding Senior Gymnast in her final season in Morgantown in addition to winning the EAGL all-around, bar and beam titles that year. Her accomplishments also ranked her as the fifth-best gymnast in the country and as a finalist for the AAI Award in 1998. Salim-Beasley currently holds the West Virginia University uneven bars record, scoring a 10.0 in 1998. After graduating from West Virginia with a degree in early childhood education, Salim-Beasley went into coaching, starting as an assistant coach at Penn in 1999. During her one season with the Quakers, the team won the Ivy League Championships in addition to an undefeated regular season, breaking team records in every event. Salim-Beasley returned to Morgantown as a volunteer assistant coach during the 2006-07 season. For three years, she coached the Severna Park High School gymnastics team to two county championships, including an undefeated regular season in her first year. Additionally, she coached two different gymnasts to all-around championships. Salim-Beasley was also a teacher at Eagle Cove School in Pasadena, Md., for four years and is working towards a masters in education from West Virginia University. She is married to former WVU football All-American and NFL veteran, Aaron Beasley, and the couple have three daughters: Amirah (13), Dahlia (10) and Layla (8).

TEMPLE WOMEN’S GYMNASTICS
HEAD COACH UMME SALIM-BEASLEY SECOND SEASON • West Virginia ‘98 Career Record • 17-21 Highest Score • 192.525 Umme Salim-Beasley (ooome) was hired as Temple's head women's gymnastics coach in late April, 2015. Salim-Beasley had spent the previous four seasons as an assistant coach at Rutgers University, and was named the East Atlantic Gymnastics League (EAGL) Assistant Coach of the Year in 2014. In her first season with the Owls, Salim-Beasley led the team to a season-high score of 192.525 at the ECAC Championships to cap off the season. At the championshis, four Owls brought home a collective six conference medals, including a gold from Briana Odom. Salim-Beasley also coached Odom to a second-place all-around finish with the programs' second-highest score of 39.05. In 2016, the team posted 14 individual event scores of 9.8 or above, improving the mark of nine from the 2015 season. In her four years at Rutgers, Salim-Beasley served as the recruiting coordinator for the Scarlet Knights and worked with the uneven bars, among other day-to-day duties for the program. Salim-Beasley helped Rutgers to a NCAA Regional berth in 2014 and its best EAGL finish in school history. Uneven bars were a big part of the success, as four gymnasts earned all-conference in the event. In addition, Salim-Beasley guided one of her student-athletes, Alexis Gunzelman, to the top regional qualifying score (RQS) in the conference on bars (9.845) on the way to the first NCAA National all-around appearance by a Scarlet Knight in program history. Gunzelman posted a 9.800 at the national meet, her eighth consecutive meet with at least that score to end the season. As recruiting coordinator, Salim-Beasley expanded the Scarlet Knights' base nationally to attract top talent from outside the area. Traditionally recruiting in New Jersey and the surrounding states, the Scarlet Knights were able to pull in gymnasts from Florida, South Carolina, Arizona and Massachusetts. Salim-Beasley brought impressive credentials to Rutgers, having competed collegiately at West Virginia University from 1995 to 1998. A native of Pasadena, Md., she was a two-time national qualifier at Hill's Gymnastic Training Center in Gaithersburg, Md., before earning a full scholarship to WVU. Salim-Beasley was named Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Year as a freshman at West Virginia, and earned spots on the All-EAGL
First Team in all-around, bars and beam her sophomore and junior seasons. She finished off her career by being named the EAGL Gymnast of the Year and Most Outstanding Senior Gymnast in her final season in Morgantown in addition to winning the EAGL all-around, bar and beam titles that year. Her accomplishments also ranked her as the fifth-best gymnast in the country and as a finalist for the AAI Award in 1998. Salim-Beasley currently holds the West Virginia University uneven bars record, scoring a 10.0 in 1998. After graduating from West Virginia with a degree in early childhood education, Salim-Beasley went into coaching, starting as an assistant coach at Penn in 1999. During her one season with the Quakers, the team won the Ivy League Championships in addition to an undefeated regular season, breaking team records in every event. Salim-Beasley returned to Morgantown as a volunteer assistant coach during the 2006-07 season. For three years, she coached the Severna Park High School gymnastics team to two county championships, including an undefeated regular season in her first year. Additionally, she coached two different gymnasts to all-around championships. Salim-Beasley was also a teacher at Eagle Cove School in Pasadena, Md., for four years and is working towards a masters in education from West Virginia University. She is married to former WVU football All-American and NFL veteran, Aaron Beasley, and the couple have three daughters: Amirah (13), Dahlia (10) and Layla (8).
