Utah took an early lead Saturday at the NCAA Gymnastics Championships, but struggles on the vault dropped the Utes to a third-place finish.
On Saturday, Cammy Hall fell and scored only 9.25, Lucy Stanhope had just 9.7625 and Alexia Burch and McCallum had 9.8375s and O’Keefe scored only 9.8125. Those scores simply weren’t good enough to keep the Utes ahead.
What made the vault stick out too was how well the Utes did on the other events to put themselves right in the middle of the fight for the title. While the score was a little less than the 49.6 the Utes scored Thursday in the qualifying round, it was arguably just as good of a set as the Utes handled the pressure of opening on the event extremely well.
