Bartgis Joins ISU Gymnastics Staff
07.24.2009 | Gymnastics
AMES, Iowa?Iowa State gymnastics coach Jay Ronayne announced the addition of former University of Pittsburgh assistant coach Jessica Bartgis to the Cyclone coaching staff. Bartgis will serve as the team director of the Cardinal Gymnastics Academy and as a volunteer coach for ISU.
Bartgis joins Iowa State after a three-year (2006-09) stint at Pittsburgh where she was named the 2007 NCAA Northeast Regional Co-Assistant Coach of the Year. The Frederick, Md., native focused on vault and floor at Pitt and oversaw Dani Bryan, who won the league vault crown in 2007. Bartgis had four other gymnasts earn all-league recognition on vault during her tenure at Pittsburgh. Bartgis was additionally the co-recruiting coordinator for the Panthers.
“I am really excited to have someone with such a wealth of experience on our staff,” Ronayne said. “I have known her for a number of years since I recruited her to come to West Virginia while I was coaching there, so it is neat to see things come full circle. She brings a lot of skills as a judge, coach and former gymnast to our staff.”
Before joining the Pittsburgh staff, Bartgis was a volunteer assistant at her alma mater, West Virginia (2005-06). In her season coaching for the Mountaineers, Bartgis saw WVU take third in the East Atlantic Gymnastics League (EAGL) and place fifth at the NCAA Southeast Regional competition.
“I am looking forward to the opportunity of working with a staff I am familiar with,” Bartgis said. “I am excited about coming to a different part of the country and working with a very talented gymnastics program.”
While competing at West Virginia, Bartgis put together the third-highest all-around score (39.625) in program history. Additionally, she was a first-team All-EAGL honoree in the all-around and on bars in 2005. In 2004, Bartgis tied for the league vault crown and was a second-team all-league recipient in the all-around and vault. Bartgis is the last Mountaineer to score a 10.0, a feat she accomplished on vault in 2004. She was a three-time All-EAGL academic pick, while being a 2005 NACGC/W All-Academic selection.
Bartgis was teammates at West Virginia with ISU assistant coach TeShawne Jackson and was coached by Ronayne during his stint at West Virginia.
Bartgis has been a club coach in both Pennsylvania and West Virginia and has camp coaching experience throughout the United States.
Bartgis earned a bachelor's degree in physical education with an emphasis in athletic coaching education from West Virginia in 2005 and later earned her master's degree in the same concentration in 2007. She has been a certified USAG judge since 2007.
