No. 5 Utah gymnastics team debuts at Red Rocks Preview at Huntsman Center

Utah’s gymnastics team is flipping not only in the routines but in the strengths, too, as the Utes prepare for the 2020 season.

The fifth-ranked Utes are expected to be strong on the balance beam this year, an event that has been very inconsistent for them during the post-season recently.

Friday during the team’s Red Rocks Preview at the Huntsman Center, the Utes unveiled some new creative mounts, good difficulty and a lot of confidence.

Returners including Cristal Isa, Sydney Soloski and Kim Tessen all looked strong as did newcomers such as Emilie LeBlanc, a junior transfer from Maryland, and freshmen Abby Paulson and Maile O’Keefe.
