Utah's new gymnastics coaching staff didn't wait around to fill a vacancy created by Greg Marsden's retirement on Monday. The school announced Wednesday the hiring of Meredith Paulicivic as Utah's new assistant.
Paulicivic, née King, was a three-time vault All-American for Utah from 1991-94 and competed on Utah's 1992 and 1994 NCAA Championship teams.
The first Utah walk-on to ever earn All-American honors, Paulicivic spent the past year as an assistant at Arizona.
"I finally got recruited by the University of Utah," she said in the school's release. "Not as an athlete, but as a coach. I was a die-hard Utah gymnastics fan as a little girl growing up in California, and competing at Utah was always my dream. After I graduated from the U., it became my dream to return as a coach."
In addition to coaching at Arizona, Paulicivic has coached at California in 1996 and worked for the club SCEGA Gymnastics, serving as the head coach from 2007 until 2014, when she left for Arizona.
Greg Marsden's wife, Megan Marsden, will co-coach the team with Tom Farden, who has been with the program for five years.
