Meredith Paulicivic is heading into her second season as the head coach of the Ohio State women’s gymnastics program. She joined the Buckeye family in May 2017 and is the fifth head coach in Ohio State women’s gymnastics history.
In her first season at the helm, Paulicivic led the Buckeyes to a third-place finish at the NCAA Columbus Regional, the best finish since 2012 at the postseason competition. Ohio State scored a 196.500, the highest score at an NCAA Regional in program history.
With her direction, three Buckeyes – Jamie Stone, Olivia Aepli and Alexis Mattern – picked up All-Big Ten honors. Paulicivic coached Stone and Aepli to Big Ten titles on vault and uneven bars, respectively, and helped Stone qualify for the NCAA Championships on vault. In addition, every gymnast that com-peted in a meet set or tied a career high on at least one event.
In 2018, Ohio State tallied a 196.000 or better six times, including the sixth highest mark in program history with a score of 196.775. The Buckeyes also tied the program record on uneven bars twice with a 49.325.
A high-level choreographer, Paulicivic spent two seasons as an assistant at Utah from 2015-17, help-ing guide the Utes to a fifth-place finish at the NCAA Championships and a Pac-12 team championship in 2017. As Utah’s primary vault coach, Paulicivic coached Pac-12 vault co-champions Mykayla Skinner and Tiffani Lewis as Skinner went on to become the Fayetteville Regional vault champion and a regu-lar-season All-American.
At Utah, Paulicivic was the primary vault coach while assisting on balance beam and floor exercise while being responsible for the choreography and music selection on beam and floor. In 2016, Pau-licivic helped guide Lewis to the Pac-12 floor championship and Baely Rowe and Makenna Merrell to runner-up floor finishes at Pac-12 Championships as the Utes finished fourth nationally as a team on floor exercise.
Prior to her time at Utah, Paulicivic spent a season as an assistant coach at Arizona, helping the Wild-cats to a 17th-place finish nationally, the highest team ranking in over a decade. Paulicivic also was head coach at SCEGA Gymnastics from 2007-14, coaching six U.S. National Team members, including world bronze medalist Rachel Tidd. She spent the previous nine years as assistant coach and head choreographer for floor and beam at SCEGA after a one-year stint as assistant coach at University of California.
As a gymnast at Utah from 1991-94, Paulicivic (nee King), competed on a pair of NCAA Championship teams in 1992 and 1994. Paulicivic was a three-time All-American on vault and a team captain as a se-nior.
A native of Twenty Nine Palms, Calif., Paulicivic graduated from Utah with a bachelor’s degree in exer-cise and sport science in 1994. Paulicivic and her husband, George, are the parents of two daughters, Blayne and Avery, and a son, Corbin.
