Having fun is the secret for Utah gymnastics to win the national championship

ST. LOUIS — “We really want to be in the top three at nationals.”

MyKayla Skinner shared Utah gymnastics’ season goal after the team’s intra-squad meet in December.

“We want it and we’re striving for that goal this year,” she added.

The Red Rocks survived their semifinal, finishing third to advance to Saturday’s Super Six. Between the two semifinals, they posted the fifth-highest score — a 197.1375. Oklahoma topped the chart with 198.05, its ninth score of 198 or better this season. Florida finished with 197.5875, followed by UCLA’s 197.5625 and LSU’s 197.475.

Utah finished the regular season with a fifth-best 197.
