If that’s the case, she’s stepping way down in terms of program and coaching prestige and success.
Well BYU does have a very respectable coaching staff including the well-known and accomplished Shari Skabelund and John Brooks. They also have the young and energetic Jordan Fletcher. Many athletes have done well in their program, especially recently.
