In 2026, Assistant Women’s Gymnastics Coach Brittany McClure enters her sixth season with Air Force Women’s Gymnastics. McClure serves as the lead coach and choreographer on floor, while assisting on all other events.
McClure and the 2025 Falcons closed out the year at 5-11 but continued to prove their positive trajectory. On Jan. 31, Air Force as a team reset the program vault record, scoring a 49.075 against San Jose State and Hamline University, resulting in a new all-around record for the Falcons as well (195.775). The Falcons, falling at Utah State on March 7, earned a collective 48.975 on vault, adding a top-three all-time finish in the event to the Falcons’ 2025 accomplishments. Mountain West Gymnast of the Year and All-Around/Co-Balance Beam Champion Maggie Slife earned three top 10 all-time all-around scores in 2025, including a record-breaking 39.500 at the 2025 NCAA Utah Regional. Air Force was the most decorated squad among Mountain West teams in 2025, earning 20 total weekly top honors from the league. Slife, a nine-time MW Gymnast of the Week honoree, earned the award each week Air Force competed.
In 2024, Air Force finished with two USAG champions (Clara Wallace, Balance Beam; Maggie Slife, Floor Exercise) – a feat accomplished just once before in Air Force history. Maggie Slife, the Mountain West Freshman of the Year and league champion both on vault and as an all-arounder, earned Air Force’s first bid to an NCAA Regional qualifier since 2019 and was the first freshman to do so since 2015. For their respective performances at USAGs, five Falcons were named as 2024 USAG All-Americans, bringing home eight total national awards.
McClure and Air Force’s 2023 was underscored by an all-around national championship for sophomore Velandra Brochi and an MPSF title on uneven bars for senior Amber Boll, who earned her crown after tying the second all-time event score (9.925). In the same season, nine Falcons were named as USAG All-Americans; Five Air Force competitors earned a total of 10 All-MPSF superlatives.

McClure started her college coaching career as an assistant coach at Ball State in 2015. During that time she was the primary coach and choreographer for the floor exercise routines and also assisted on beam and vault. McClure also served as the director of their Ball State recreational program.
McClure helped the Cardinals to a successful 2016 campaign, coaching Denasiha Christian to a 2016 Mid-American Conference title in the floor exercise and further helping Christian to a top-two finish at the 2016 NCAA regionals. McClure’s guidance on the vault also helped Christian land a 9.975 in the event. During McClure’s stay at Ball State, she helped guide six Cardinals to the NCAA regional championship and a second-place finish at the 2016 MAC Championship, which was the highest team finish since 2002 with a score record of a 195.65. During the MAC Championship, McClure helped coach the floor team to a 49.275, securing a second-place finish. McClure’s guidance helped six athletes score 9.8+ on vault and floor multiple times that season.
McClure carried out her competitive collegiate career at Texas Woman’s University from 2009-2014. She earned Midwest first-team all-conference on floor in 2014 and was a two-time Academic All-American. She helped her team to a conference championship in 2010 and was part of the five-time runner up at the USAG Nationals.
McClure graduated TWU with a Masters of Business Administration in 2015 as well as a Bachelor’s degree in Business in 2013. She and husband, Brett McClure, welcomed their first child on December 2, 2019. Brett is the high-performance director of the Men’s U.S Olympic gymnastics team.
