Hayley Sanzotti admits she wasn’t dead set on returning to Utah State for her fifth year.
The native of Wheaton, Illinois, sat out her sophomore season in 2014 after dislocating her right elbow prior to the Aggies’ first meet at Iowa. Sanzotti was called a senior in 2016 because she was unsure of using the redshirt season and returning for one more year.
“I wasn’t 100 percent set on staying for my fifth year until after our season was done last year,” Sanzotti said. “I told myself that if my body held up and if I could figure out a way to add in more schooling, and pretty much figure everything else out, that I would stay for my fifth year because it’s not like you can do gymnastics after college.
