USA Gymnastics names Kerry J. Perry as new president and CEO

Perry will assume her role in the organization beginning Dec. 1, 2017

 

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 7, 2017 – The USA Gymnastics Board of Directors announced today the unanimous decision to appoint Kerry J. Perry as the organization’s new president and chief executive officer. Perry assumes this role Dec. 1, 2017, and will be based at the USA Gymnastics headquarters in Indianapolis.

 

Perry was formerly vice president of business development at Learfield Communications, Inc., and president and owner of KP Sports, which was acquired by Learfield. In her various leadership roles, Perry has led many high-performing teams and organizations to great success, most recently in the collegiate sports field.

 

“We are fortunate to have someone as capable and energetic as Kerry step into this leadership role,” said Paul Parilla, chairman of the USA Gymnastics Board of Directors. “Her passion for the sport, commitment to athlete safety, and track record of motivating teams to succeed will help guide our vision for the future.”

 

As CEO of USA Gymnastics, Perry will be responsible for the strategic direction of the organization involving the day-to-day operations of the business to include safety initiatives, athlete and competitive programs, membership, staffing, marketing, event operations, communications and revenue generation. She will also serve as a representative of USA Gymnastics to the United States Olympic Committee, the International Gymnastics Federation and all other affiliated organizations.

 

“I am thrilled to join USA Gymnastics and I look forward to creating a culture of empowerment that encourages our athletes, our members, our families and our staff to have a strong voice as we move this incredible organization to heightened levels of achievement,” said Perry. “As a lifelong fan of the sport, I will be relentless in our pursuit of athlete safety, collaborative with our board, constituents and corporate partners, and supportive of our members, parents and staff on our journey to making USA Gymnastics the pinnacle of success.”

 

In April 2017, the Board approved the formation, composition and purpose of an ad hoc Search Committee tasked with guiding the process of finding a new president and CEO of the organization. Following an exhaustive and thorough national search for qualified candidates, the Board accepted the committee’s recommendation to ask Perry to lead the organization into the future.

 

Commitment to Athlete Safety

In recent months, USA Gymnastics has taken several steps to increase its ability to protect athletes and create an environment of support for members and their families. Recently, the organization hired Toby Stark, who previously directed a child advocacy program, to serve as the director of safe sport. In this role, Stark leads a department focused on athlete protection. Additionally, USA Gymnastics hired Mark Busby to provide support as legal counsel, following a prestigious career handling child abuse and sex crime cases with the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office. By bringing these professionals to USA Gymnastics, the organization is furthering its commitment to protecting athletes.

 

In late June, the Board adopted the new USA Gymnastics Safe Sport Policy – replacing the previous Participant Welfare Policy – that includes key updates to USA Gymnastics safe sport policies and procedures, including mandatory reporting, defining six types of misconduct, setting standards to prohibit grooming behavior and prevent inappropriate interaction, and establishing accountability. Effective immediately, the policy outlines the scope of the organization’s commitment to promoting a safe environment, requirements and expectations placed on members, and incorporates the authority and jurisdiction of the U.S. Center for SafeSport. Additionally, the organization is developing the implementation plan for the recommendations made by a former federal prosecutor who carefully examined the organization’s policies and procedures for handling sexual misconduct.  Both of these are part of the organization’s blueprint for continually strengthening its policies and procedures to better protect athletes.

MONTREAL, Que., Canada, Oct. 8, 2017 – The United States picked up two more silver medals on the final day of the 2017 World Championships at the Olympic Stadium in Montreal, Que., Canada.  2017 world all-around champion Morgan Hurd of Middletown, Del./First State Gymnastics, added the balance beam silver medal to her collection, and 2017 World vault silver-medalist Jade Carey of Phoenix, Ariz./Oasis Gymnastics, picked up her second World silver, this time for the floor exercise.

Zeng finishes sixth in the all-around at Rhythmic World Championships

 

PESARO, Italy, Sept. 1, 2017 – 2016 Olympian Laura Zeng of Libertyville, Ill./North Shore Rhythmic Gymnastics Center, finished sixth in the all-around on the final day of individual competition at the 35^th World Rhythmic Gymnastics Championships held at the Adriatic Arena in Pesaro, Italy. Zeng’s finish improves on her eighth-place finish at the 2015 World Championships, which was previously the best World all-around finish by a U.S. rhythmic gymnast.

 

Evita Griskenas of Orland Park, Ill./North Shore Rhythmic Gymnastics Center, finished 11th in the all-around, marking the fourth-highest finish for Team USA at a Rhythmic Worlds behind Zeng’s 2015 and 2017 finishes and Mary Sanders’ 10th place finish in 2003. This is the first time two U.S. rhythmic gymnasts have finished in the top 11 in the World Championships all-around rankings.

 

Group competition begins tomorrow with the all-around competition and event finals qualifications. The U.S. group, which trains at North Shore Rhythmic Gymnastics Center, consists of Dasha Baltovick of Highland Park, Ill.; Natalie Bourand of Burr Ridge, Ill.; Connie Du of Deerfield, Ill.; Yelyzaveta Merenzon of Buffalo Grove, Ill.; Nicole Sladkov of Vernon Hills, Ill.; and Kristina Sobolevskaya of Deerfield, Ill.  Coverage of the group competition is also available live on the USA Gymnastics YouTube channel. Competition is scheduled to begin at 3:30 p.m. local time/9:30 a.m. Eastern time.

 

Russia’s Dina (74.700) and Arina Averina (73.450), who are twin sisters, took the gold and silver medals, respectively. Israel’s Linoy Ashram was the bronze medalist, earning a 70.025 total in the all-around.

 

Zeng opened with a 17.700 for her clubs routine, which she performed to music from the television series Game of the Thrones. The routine opened with a high toss and an intricate catch while performing an illusion turn. She closed with a solid trap catch. In the second rotation, she earned a 16.400 for her ribbon routine, set to powerful music by Shpongle. As the beat picked up, the crowd clapped along and she performed her signature fouetté turns.

 

In the third rotation, Zeng performed with the hoop and scored a 17.100. She had two big tosses back-to-back, including one while performing a back walkover, and showing intricate uses of the apparatus.  In the final rotation, Zeng scored a 17.050 for ball routine. It completed a competition where she bested each of her four scores from the qualification round and gave her a 68.250 total score.

 

Ninth to go in each rotation, Griskenas began with hoop and performed with elegance, opening with an intricate catch of the apparatus behind her back. She closed with a difficult catch between her legs as she performed a backward roll and scored 17.000. Set to Everything by Sean Christoper, Griskenas scored a 16.150 for her ball routine, executing a unique back attitude rotation with the ball balanced on her leg. She showed impeccable control on a back attitude turn in the third rotation while performing with clubs. She earned a 16.400, more than a full point higher than she earned during qualification. Griskenas wrapped up her debut at the World Championships by earning a 15.800 for her ribbon routine. She totaled a 65.350 in the all-around.

 

Yesterday, Zeng and Griskenas ended a history-making two days of competition in Pesaro by qualifying at least one athlete to all four event finals and two athletes to the top group of the all-around final for the first time for Team USA. The United States has only qualified two athletes to the World all-around finals for rhythmic gymnastics once before – in 2013, when Jazzy Kerber and Rebecca Sereda advanced in Kiev, Ukraine. Zeng is now the first U.S. rhythmic gymnast to compete in three World event finals at the same Championships and, together with Griskenas, is part of the first U.S. duo to compete in the same Rhythmic World’s event final.
