Part of the 2025 WCGA Assistant Coaches of the Year and the College Gym News Coaches of the Year, Lacey Rubin joined the University of Missouri gymnastics staff in May 2023 to help the Tigers maintain their strength on balance beam.
Rubin oversaw one of the most successful years on the balance beam for Mizzou in 2025. The Tigers set numerous records on the apparatus, most notably earning the top score in program history of 49.575 at Arkansas on March 14 and tying it during the NCAA Championship Second Round meet. She also managed the continued development of Helen Hu, who earned the 2025 NCAA Gymnastics Balance Beam National Championship and achieved three 10s during the season. Three Missouri gymnasts also earned WCGA All-American status - Hu on First Team and Olivia Kelly and Addison Lawrence on Second Team.
In her first season with the Tigers, Rubin worked with Missouri's beam squad which finished No. 22 in the nation with a 49.295 NQS, extending the program's streak of top-25 beam finishes to eight consecutive years. Rubin helped Sienna Schreiber put together her best season on the event, as she individually tied for eighth in the nation on beam with a 9.950 NQS to earn WCGA Regular Season All-America First Team status for the first time in her career. Under Rubin's guidance, Schreiber achieved her first career perfect 10 on beam, the program's first since 2004.
Prior to joining MU's staff, Rubin spent the 2023 season working as an assistant coach at Arizona State. During her short stint in Tempe, she helped the Gym Devils qualify for NCAA Regionals for the fifth straight year. Rubin primarily coached the beam squad, which ended the season ranked No.19 in the nation, with a season-high of 49.475 set at regionals.
In 2023, Arizona State had a record-breaking campaign, finishing 15th in the country. The Gym Devils went on to upset then-No. 4 Utah, set a program-record road score in a win over Washington and deal then-No. 11 Oregon State its first loss of the season.
Prior to her time at Arizona State, she was a volunteer assistant coach at Penn State, where she helped lead individuals to NCAA Regionals. Additionally, she has experience coaching at the club level at Centre Elite Gymnastics in Pennsylvania and New Image Gymnastics in New York.
As a student-athlete at Eastern Michigan, Rubin was named to the MAC All-Tournament Team twice. In 2017 and 2018, she was the MAC bar champion. She also helped the team to a MAC championship in 2016 and 2017. In the classroom, she was a distinguished scholar-athlete in 2017 and 2018. Following her time as a student-athlete, she was a volunteer assistant for Eastern Michigan for the 2019 season.
