Jay Hogue, who served as an assistant coach at the University of Denver for the last two years, and Philip Ogletree, who recently completed his 12th season on the staff at LSU, have been named assistant gymnastics coaches at the University of Georgia, head coach Danna Durante announced Thursday.

Hogue was named the 2012 North Central Region Co-Assistant Coach of the Year, and under his direction, Denver gymnastics earned a total of eight WAC event specialist of the week honors on vault and bars this past season. Hogue’s vault squad tied the school record with a 49.425 against Air Force.

Ogletree, a member of the UGA men’s gymnastics team from 1980-82, spent the last 12 years as an assistant coach at LSU, primarily coaching uneven bars, while also serving as the Tigers’ recruiting coordinator. He was named the NCAA Central Regional Assistant Coach of the Year in 2004 and 2005 and helped lead the Tigers to the NCAA Super Six in 2008 and 2009.

During his tenure at LSU, Ogletree guided the Tigers to 12 of the top-13 bars scores in school history, including a school record 49.650 in 2002. His bars squads ranked in the top-10 nationally each year from 2004-10, including a No. 3 ranking in 2005 and a No. 4 ranking in 2009.
