Most of the time in collegiate gymnastics, it is those who go late in the lineup, the closers, who capture most of the attention. But with her fan-friendly floor routine and easy-going demeanor, Utah senior Macey Roberts is earning more and more attention for her floor efforts.
Out of six routines this year, Roberts has scored 9.875 four times and earned 9.85 and 9.825 for the other routines. Those would be decent scores for any point in the lineup, but they are particularly good in the leadoff spot.
“She gets us started with a good score on a regular basis,” Utah coach Megan Marsden said.
