With a strong finish on the balance beam — including two 10.0 scores — the University of Utah gymnastics team edged Alabama to win the NCAA Seattle Regional on Saturday night.
April 14-16“I really liked the athletes’ focus,” Utah coach Tom Farden said. “It started on the bus on the way over, you could feel it. It was a good weekend with the combination of Thursday and stepping it up tonight. I’m pleased with the total team effort.”
“The thing she brings to the floor exercise is stability and familiarity,” he said. “She scored a 9.9 and we started the regional final off and running.” The Utes also improved their vault effort from Thursday, scoring a 49.4 with 9.9s from Alexia Burch and Jaedyn Rucker.The third rotation caused a lead switch with Alabama scoring a 49.625 on the beam while the Utes weren’t as polished as normal on the bars, scoring 49.475 with McCallum earning 9.95 and Cristal Isa a 9.9.
The Utes weren’t to be denied though as they put together the huge effort on beam, despite a surprising fall from the usually steady Alexia Burch. Her 9.175 was dropped as the rest of the lineup went 9.85 or higher.“We can do better on every event,” she said. “We had a good floor set but I still feel like there is room for improvement.”In the Raleigh Regional, Michigan won with a 197.8 and Missouri advanced with a 197.425 while UCLA and Iowa were eliminated.
