SALT LAKE CITY — The first home matinee meet in school history concluded with sixth-ranked Utah gymnastics beating 11th-ranked Oregon State 196.125-195.125 to stay undefeated.
The early show time didn't steer fans away from the Huntsman Center. The Utes (3-0, 1-0 Pac-12) showcased their talent in front of a crowd of 15,550 — the maximum capacity permitted from the fire marshal. The limit forced fans to be turned away at the doors, but they were compensated with tickets to the next home meet on Feb. 1 against Arizona.
"I'm impressed. I guess people like the matinee," said co-head coach Tom Farden.
