SALT LAKE CITY — Season-high scores sent No. 2 Utah (4-1, 1-0 Pac-12) soaring over No. 25 Oregon State (1-1, 0-1), 197.450-196.30 on Friday night.

MyKayla Skinner won four individual titles, posting season bests in the all-around (39.725), vault (9.95), bars (9.975) and beam (9.925). Skinner’s all-around score ties the seventh highest in program history.

The superstar sophomore wasn’t the only Utah gymnast to win event titles. MaKenna Merrell-Giles tied Skinner for the vault title. She also placed first on floor with teammates Tiffani Lewis and Sydney Soloski, each scoring 9.925.

While the score looks good on paper, it’s even more impressive knowing the Red Rocks put up their season-best total with mishaps.
