Coach Becky Beaulieu
Becky Beaulieu enters her third season as head coach of the UW-Stout gymnastics team.
Since coming to Stout, Beaulieu (pronounced bowl-ee-oh) has coached three gymnasts - Rhian Paulson, Ashley Timm, Meghan Hargens - to All-American honors. The 2007 team posted the best average team score in school history and the best single meet score in school history when they scored a 178.325. Six times during the 2006-07 season, the team scored more than 175 points in a meet.
Beaulieu, competing as Becky McDonnell at UW-La Crosse from 1997-2001, captured back-to-back NCGA floor exercise titles in 1998 and 1999. She established a since-eclipsed school floor exercise record score of 9.8. A seven-time NCGA All-American, she also garnered all-Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference honors nine times. The Eagles, for which she was a two-year captain, won two NCGA titles during her competing days.
Beaulieu served as a graduate assistant at LaCrosse from 2001-2003, as the Eagles won two more National Collegiate Gymnastics Association (NCGA) crowns during that time.
Beaulieu coached Level 4-10 gymnasts at the Maui (Hawaii) Gymnastics Academy (MGA) from 2004-05. While at MGA, Beaulieu coached four athletes to the Level 9-10 USAG Regional Meet and one athlete to a fifth-place finish in the all-around at the Level 10 Junior Olympic Nationals. That gymnast, Naomi DeLara, is now competing for the Blue Devils.

"I hope to motivate the women to expect more from themselves," said Beaulieu. "It is my end goal for each student-athlete to reach her potential as a collegiate gymnast and student. By doing so, the level of excellence displayed by the team should improve. I aspire for the Blue Devil gymnastics team to be able to compete with the top teams in the region."
A Shoreview, Minn., native, Beaulieu earned a bachelor's degree in psychology and minor in business administration from La Crosse, graduating in 2001. In 2002, she obtained a master's degree in education and school psychology from La Crosse.
After working as a school psychologist in the Anoka-Hennepin (Minn.) School District, Beaulieu worked as a school psychologist at the Maui (Hawaii) District Office for one year.
Beaulieu resides in Hudson, Wis., with her husband, Jeremy.
