Utah finished third in the NCAA gymnastics championships for the third straight year, as struggles on the vault dashed the Utes' hopes for a national title. Oklahoma claimed its second straight championship, and sixth in the past nine years.
It was easy to spot where the Utes lost the title, logging their third-worst vault score of the year with a 49.15 with a team-high of 9.9 coming from Abby Brenner. For comparison, the Utes had a national qualifying score average of 49.43 on the event.
The loss will sting the Utes for a while, but it shouldn’t overshadow what this team has done this season. The Utes won the Pac-12 title and their NCAA region then posted their highest postseason score in history to win their NCAA semifinal.
