Seattle Pacific University’s Laurel Tindall has been voted the national coach of the year for the USA Gymnastics Collegiate Championships.
Tindall, a resident of Brier, who just completed her 28th season as head coach, guided the Falcons to a third-place finish at the Division II national meet, which concluded Saturday in Denton, Texas.
It is the fourth national coach of the year award for Tindall and her first since 1997. However, this marks the first time she has won without taking Seattle Pacific to a national crown.
SPU finished third in its first season in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation and finished with a run of five straight scores in excess of 191 points.
