Summertime is generally considered the off-season for women’s gymnastics, but for Ohio State coach Larry Cox, it’s recruit, recruit, and recruit some more.The Lady Buckeyes are coming off of their best season in school history. One which saw OSU’s team scoring record broken three times and a third-place finish in the Big Ten Championship. Since then, Cox has been actively searching for the future of OSU gymnastics. Koyuki Oka and Allison Mehta are the only two team members lost to graduation this year, so most of this season’s squad will have a year or two of experience under them, Cox said.Cox has seen a lot of gymnast come and go in his 18 years of coaching at OSU, but he says this year’s freshman have something special.”This may be the strongest recruiting class that we’ve had in 10 years,” Cox said.The three signed recruits ‹ Susan Kinkaid, Lindsey Vagedes and Cynthia Molnar ‹ could all have an impact this season.”Both Susan and Lindsey are strong on vault, and Cynthia’s strengths are on bars and beam,” Cox said.In 1994, Kinkaid, hailing from Lighthouse, Fla., was diagnosed with bilateral fractures in her lower back and told by doctors that her gymnastics career was over. She proved them wrong and became the 1996 Florida state vault champion.”We were lucky to sneak this one (Kinkaid) away from the University of Florida,” said Cox.Cox said that he is looking to Vagedes to carry the depth in beam that the team lost to Oka’s graduation.Cox also predicted that Molnar, a member of the Puerto Rico National Gymnastics Team, will surprise a lot of people with her strengths on the bars, beam and floor. “They (Kinkaid, Vagedes, Molnar) will add great depth to the team,” Cox said.
