Head coach Louis Levine has announced the hiring of Kaitlin Dewey as an assistant coach for the Rutgers gymnastics program. A native of Saratoga, New York, Dewey brings coaching experience from all over the nation to the Scarlet Knights.
"I am really excited to add Kaitlin to the staff," Levine said.
Dewey seems just as excited.
"I am beyond thrilled to be here in New Jersey working alongside this amazing staff at a first-class university," she said. "I'm extremely excited to start this new venture and I can't wait to see what the future lies ahead for Rutgers gymnastics."
Dewey arrives in Piscataway after working at Texas Dreams Gymnastics in Coppell, Texas, since September 2013. During her four seasons there she had five gymnasts qualify for the national team. She coached and developed numerous athletes who qualified for J.O. Nationals, the Nastia Liukin Cup, and went on to earn Division I scholarships, focusing on balance beam, floor exercise, and choreography for all levels. At the 2016 J.O. Nationals, her gymnasts hit all 36 routines. In addition, Dewey organized strength and conditioning workouts for the program.
Before her stint in Coppell, Dewey served as the girls head gymnastics coach at World Class Gymnastics Academy in Latham, New York, from May 2010 to September 2013. She guided three gymnasts to Division I scholarships during that time, concentrating on balance beam and floor exercise. Dewey also has experience coaching gymnastics camps at UCLA, Utah, and Maryland.
Dewey started her coaching career at her alma mater, Brockport, during the 2008 season. She assisted leading the team to first place in the Eastern College Athletic Conference and second place at the National Collegiate Gymnastics Association Championships.
An accomplished student-athlete at Brockport, Dewey was a two-time NCAA Division III gymnastics first team All-America selection (2009-10). Additionally, she earned the athletic department's most outstanding athlete award and National Collegiate Gymnastics Association (NCGA) championship senior athlete of the year honors in 2010-11.
Dewey graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in physical education with a teacher certification in 2011.
