Will It Be A Perfect Ending For Utes Undefeated Gymnasts?
The University of Utah’s gymnastics team is 10-0, (6-0 Pac-12), and their match-up this Friday, March 6th between the fourth-ranked Utah and fifth-ranked Michigan will be the last regular season meet at the Huntsman Center for 2015 .
This year celebrates the program’s 40th anniversary with Utah, and this meet is expected to bring in a large amount of fans. Not only because they are undefeated. but because it is the last meet for the four seniors on this team who are also all four first-team All-Americans.
Tri-captains Georgia Dabritz, Corrie Lothrop and Tory Wilson are Pac-12 champions and team MVPs. Becky Tutka currently holds the school’s record for the most consecutive routines completed without a fall, hitting all 75 of her career routines, breaking the old mark of 72 by Stephanie McAllister in 2011.
