After leading the No. 5 Red Rocks to Saturday’s Super Six final at the NCAA gymnastics championships, the sophomore took the same jaunt around the Chaifetz Arena on five different occasions. That’s what happens when you’re that good, that dominant. Skinner finished in the top five in every event in Friday’s semifinal, including the all-around.
A year after winning the national title in floor exercise, she was one of three gymnasts to share the national championship in vault. Skinner’s 9.9375 on vault made her the co-national champion in the event with Oklahoma’s Brenna Dowell and Florida’s Alex McMurtry.
