Entering the 2021-22 campaign, Treasure Fields is in her third season as the director of operations for the program.
Fields was previously named West Liberty’s first Acrobatics and Tumbling coach in December 2016 and quickly hit the recruiting trail in preparation for the Hilltoppers’ varsity debut in March 2018. The hard work and attention to detail paid off in 2018 as WLU posted the first tri-meet sweep in school history and produced the program’s first MEC Athlete of the Week along with four All-MEC selections.
In 2019, Fields coached the Hilltoppers to victories over Concordia and Davis & Elkins College, while coaching four student-athletes to All-Mountain East Conference honors. Fields’ programs didn’t just succeed in the gym but also in the classroom, with nine Hilltoppers being named to the NCATA Academic Honor Roll.
A native of Richmond, Va. who was an Acrobatics & Tumbling standout at Concordia (Wis.), Fields had been serving as a graduate assistant coach at Concordia before coming to the hilltop. The Hilltopper coach was a Dean’s List student at Concordia and graduated with a degree in Justice and Public Policy.
A key member of the Concordia team, Fields competed in every meet as a base during her two seasons with the Falcons. Fields earned national recognition as a senior when she was named to the National Collegiate Acrobatics and Tumbling Association (NCATA) Honor Roll for the week of Feb. 19.
She spent the first two years of her collegiate journey at Old Dominion University, which does not have an Acrobatics and Tumbling program, before transferring to the Wisconsin school to pursue her passion with the Falcons’ fledgling A&T program.
Fields developed her skills through a lifetime of dedication and hard work fueled by more than 15 years of competitive cheerleading experience while growing up in Richmond. The highlight of Fields’ competitive cheerleading career came during her high school years when she competed as a member of the prestigious Fame All-Stars Super Seniors team in Midlothian, Va.
Fields honed her leadership skills by helping lead the Virginia squad to three consecutive Top 10 finishes in the United States All Star Federation (USASF) World Championships in Orlando, Fla.
Fields earned her Master of Science in Criminology from West Liberty University in 2020.
