Utah gymnastics finds heartbreak at nationals

FORT WORTH, Texas — Some nights you’re on, dominating the competition. Some nights you’re off, uncharacteristically making mistakes.

Unfortunately, the Red Rocks had an off night on one of the biggest stages in collegiate gymnastics Friday evening in the Fort Worth Convention Center.

The Salt Lake City regional winner and nation’s fifth-ranked team entered the NCAA’s second semifinal with the most favorable rotation order — the home order of vault, bye, bars, beam, bye and floor — by random draw. However, that proved to not matter as critical, uncharacteristic mistakes became costly.

The Utes’ season-low score of 195.
