Alumna and now-former Associate Head Coach of the gymnastics program, Stephanie Stoicovy Worrell, has been named Head Coach of the team as of July 2024.Â
In just her first season at the helm of the program, Worrell led the program to its fourth EAGL Championship and its first since 2022. Alongside the conference championship, Worrell earned EAGL Coach of the Year for her exceptional guidance over the program and developed sophomore Delaney DeHaan to earn EAGL Gymnast of the Year, first-year Lola Montevago to garner Rookie of the Year and Kendall Whitman to collect her second consecutive Senior of the Year accolade. She also led each of DeHaan, Montevago, Whitman and Deana Sheremeta to qualify for NCAA Regionals as individual competitors at the conclusion of the 2025 campaign.Â
Named Associate Head Coach in August 2022, that year she helped coach GW to the program's third all-time EAGL crown. She also assisted with the development of NCAA Regional Qualifiers Deja Chambliss and Kendall Whitman, and coached both again to the NCAAs the following year in 2023. In 2024, Whitman made her third-straight NCAA appearance, where she was joined by then first-year Maya Peters as well as Sarah Zois, under Worrell's coaching. Worrell was instrumental in the gym and out, guiding a program that annually sees record levels of alumnae support and engagement, and thrives in competition, having set a new all-time program record with a 197.200 in a meet in March of 2024.Â
GW saw a five-year run pre-Covid of competing in NCAAs as a team with Worrell as a top lieutenant under Cunningham, punctuated for the Erie, PA native when she was named an EAGL Assistant Coach of the Year and NACGC/W Southeast Region Assistant Coach of the Year in 2018. She originally took up the coaching profession at GW in 2015 after graduating from GW with a degree in exercise science in 2013.Â
A four-year letterwinner, Worrell was a two-time NCAA Regional qualifier as an individual performer (2012, 2013) as a student-athlete. She was also an All-East Atlantic Gymnastics League (EAGL) First Team performer on floor exercise and all-around as both a junior and senior. The "Most Consistent Award" was named the Stoicovy after her senior year of competing all-around in every competition. In the classroom she was a two-time selection to the EAGL All-Academic Team and a 2013 Scholastic All-America honoree by the National Association of Collegiate Gymnastics Coaches for Women (NACGC/W).
While coaching in 2019, she received her masters degree from the GW Graduate School of Education and Human Development, as she served as WCGA treasurer from 2017-2023, flashing her all-around bonafides.Â
Steph and her husband, Chris Worrell, live in the metro DC area and are proud parents of their daughters Eleanor and Rosalyn.
