As Executive Senior Associate Athletics Director and Senior Woman Administrator (SWA), Renee added Acrobatics & Tumbling as a varsity sport at the University of Oregon. Her leadership in identifying the opportunities a new varsity sport would present to millions of young women training in gymnastics and cheerleading paved the way for the creation of Acrobatics & Tumbling. In creating the NCATA, Renee established the path forward by focusing on a framework that was in line with NCAA standards and by creating a strategic partnership with USA Gymnastics. Under her leadership, the sport has grown from six varsity intercollegiate programs to thirty-one in 2019. Recently, Acrobatics and Tumbling received a recommendation from the NCAA Committee on Women’s Athletics for emerging sport status. Renee was hired in the role of Director of Athletics at Santa Clara University in 2015 and has continued to serve the NCATA as President.
