Red Rocks’ Skinner frustrated after medal-less finish at NCAA Gymnastics Championships

Forth Worth, Texas • Utah’s efforts in the NCAA Gymnastics Championships ended like so many others have for junior MyKayla Skinner, with her expressing frustration over a scoring system that doesn’t always reward the gymnasts who perform the most difficulty.

Skinner, who was the NCAA all-around runner-up the last two years, was left out of the medals on Friday.

She didn’t expect to be in the running for the all-around after she had a slight bobble on the beam that left her with a 9.775 for the event and a 39.55 in the all-around, but her clean routines in the other events that didn’t score highest were obviously frustrating to her.
