BERKELEY - California men's gymnastics head coach Barry Weiner has been selected as the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Coach of the Year and sophomore Glen Ishino was tabbed as the MPSF Gymnast of the Year, the conference office announced Monday. This is the sixth time in his career that Weiner has been lauded as the best coach in the competitive conference, while this is Ishino's first gymnast of the year accolade. In his 19th season at the helm of the Golden Bears, Weiner continues his track record of producing top-ranked men's gymnastics teams and student-athletes. This season, Weiner has led the Bears to a 7-7 overall record. Most recently, the Bears took second at the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Championships on April 3, edged by .100 of a point, 354.550-354.450, by Oklahoma. At the MPSF meet, Ishino won the all-around championships by almost three full points. Ishino also took home the pommel-horse crown, while junior Kyle Bunthuwong won parallel bars and high bar. Cal's second-place finish was the highest since 2005, when the Bears also took second at the MPSFs. Thus far in 2010, Weiner's coaching has helped Cal land three MPSF Gymnast of the Week honors with Ishino earning the award twice and Bunthuwong once. Both Ishino and Bunthuwong are U.S. senior national team members. Outside of the spectacular outing at MPSFs, ones of Cal's best meets this season came March 13, when the Bears notched a 354.650-344.300 upset win over then-No. 6 Penn State. En route to its first upset of the year, Cal took home five team titles - horse, rings, vault, parallel bars and high bar. Kyle Bunthuwong and Ishino tied for first on horizontal bar. Bunthuwong won parallel bars and Ishino took home the titles on vault and horse. The Bears set multiple season and career records at the meet, including a new season high team overall score at 354.650. Next weekend, the Bears look towards their 14th top-10 national finish under Weiner at this year's NCAA Championships after he guided them to a fourth-place and record-breaking performance at the 2009 NCAAs. The Bears will no doubt be top contenders for the individual NCAA championships for Weiner has coached his gymnasts to 14 individual national titles, including Evan Roth's 2009 title on still rings and Tim McNeill's five championships. Though he is just a sophomore, Ishino demonstrates his superior gymnastics week in and week out for the Bears. At the recent MPSF Championships, Ishino took home the all-around title with a 90.100, well ahead of second-place finisher Steven Legendre of Oklahoma, who scored 87.300. Ishino also took home the gold medal on pommel horse with his 15.150. Despite suffering an injury during warm-ups just minutes before the first meet of the season, Ishino has returned in high fashion - notching six event titles and four all-around victories. Versus Penn State on March 13, Ishino won the all-around, high bar, vault and pommel horse. He also took home the all-around title at Ohio State on March 6 as well as at the Feb. 20 Pacific Coast Classic, where he also won parallel bars. His first event win of the season was pommel horse at the Stanford Open on Jan. 30. Ishino has twice earned the title of MPSF Gymnast of the Week in 2010. He was awarded the title for the week of March 15 after he had a 90.900 to win the all-around and lead the Bears to an upset of then-No. 6 Penn State on March 13. Against the Nittany Lions, Ishino tied for first on parallel bars and took home the titles on vault and pommel horse. On floor, Ishino was Cal's top finisher with a 15.250, a new season high, for second place. Ishino's event-winning 15.450 on pommel horse was not only yards above the other competitors - second place was a 14.800 by PSU's Felix Aronovich - but also good enough for a new season and career high. Ishino's previous best on horse in 2010 was a 15.200 and his career high was 15.400. Thanks to Ishino's score, Cal hit a 2010 high on horse with a 58.200, above its previous season best of 56.950 and just short of its all-time best of 58.250. His first weekly accolade this season, the second of his career, came following his 89.050 all-around victory against Ohio State on March 6. Ishino's team-high 14.750 helped the Bears set a new team season high on floor at 57.500, which narrowly edged the Buckeyes' 57.050 on floor. Ishino was Cal's top finisher on pommel horse, on which he took second with a 15.000, and rings, on which he was third with his 15.150. He took second place on parallel bars with a 15.050, just .200 behind event winner and fellow teammate Dennis Mannhart. The Santa Ana, Calif. product's 15.150 set a new personal and all-time Cal career best on still rings. He also tied his 2010 season high on floor at 14.750 and set new year bests on parallel bars (15.050) and in the all-around (89.050). Five Filters featured article: Chilcot Inquiry.
