Utah Gymnastics Sits Firmly In Road To Nationals Top 4

SALT LAKE CITY – The Red Rocks continue to sit at No. 4 in the latest Road to Nationals rankings after a strong performance against then No. 16 Oregon State in week five.

Utah put up really strong team scores in three of four events (vault: 49.525, beam: 49.525, and floor: 49.550) while doing enough on bars (49.050) against the Beavers for a convincing 197.750-196.100 win.

The effort was good enough to keep the Red Rocks in RTN’s Top 4 for another week.
