Fort Worth, Texas • Utah’s gymnastics team likens the season to climbing a mountain, with the goal of improving throughout the year so the Utes are in prime form at the NCAA Championships.
Unfortunately for the Utes, their last few NCAA Championships have ended not at the top, but in the valley of lows.
The Utes, who compete in the NCAA Championships Friday at 1 p.m. in Ft. Worth, finished ninth in 2016 and fifth the last two championships.
Utah is the third seed in its session this year, competing against UCLA, LSU and Michigan, but the Utes believe they can advance to the finals and earn their highest finish since placing second in 2015.
