BYU gymnastics coach Guard Young determined to close the gap between Cougars and nationally-ranked Utah

Guard Young, BYU’s gymnastics coach, is realistic about his team’s chances of upsetting No. 3 Utah Friday in Provo, acknowledging that Utes are on another level right now.

“I want our girls to go out there and be competitive with them and not shrink,” he said. “They have a lot of great talent on that team and look like a Top 5 team in my opinion, but I want to see who we are. We could be a MyKayla Skinner to two away from being on the level Utah is and I want us to rise our level of gymnastics and not shrink.
