WHY Justin & Liz went to Clemson
By the time they left the University of California at Berkeley, Justin Howell and Liz Crandall-Howell had come to define the school’s women’s gymnastics team.
The husband-and-wife coaching team had taken the squad from the brink of being cut in 2012 to a perennial national power, including a runner-up finish at the 2024 NCAA Championships. …
