Utah gymnastics coach Tom Farden is confident that the Red Rocks' loss at Oregon State on Saturday won't break their competitive spirit. “They aren’t quitting and they are still fighting,” Farden said. “It’s a team of fighters.”
Utah gymnast Maile O'Keefe, shown while earning a 10 against Cal on Feb. 24, had a rare slip-up on the beam Saturday at Oregon State.Nothing characterized Utah’s loss to Oregon State’s gymnastics team Saturday in Corvallis better than Maile O’Keefe’s freak fall off the balance beam.
The 197.95-197.7 loss prevented the Utes from winning the Pac-12 title outright, dropping them into a tie with Oregon State, Cal and UCLA for the regular-season title. The Utes will get a chance at redemption when the Pac-12 Championships are held at the Maverik Center March 18. Utah coach Tom Farden chose to focus on the positives and not the loss itself, pointing out the Utes were without Grace McCallum due to her knee injury and Kara Eaker, who missed her second straight meet due to post-concussion protocol. Utah also rested Jillian Hoffman, who has been a solid contributor on vault.
“I think there is an expectation for a 10.0 every time she touches the beam and that can weigh heavy,” he said.
