SALT LAKE CITY — For the 41st-consecutive year, Utah gymnastics is headed to the national championships. The team won the Salt Lake City Regional with a 197.125 score, beating UCLA (196.375), Washington (195.825), Illinois (195.350), Utah State (195.025) and Southern Utah (194.950).
“It feels good to move on and continue the journey with this group,” said Utah co-head coach Tom Farden, who admits he was nervous before the meet.
In his first year as Utah’s head coach, Farden was relieved to advance to the next round.
“Once the meet gets going, you get in your groove, but Utah has been going to the national championships longer than I’ve been alive.
