Eight attempts came up short. On the ninth try, the Arizona GymCats did something no one in their program had ever done.
“Arizona gymnastics has been a team for a little under 50 years,” said head coach John Court. “No one has beaten Utah ever in the history of Arizona gymnastics. They made history tonight.”
The fourth-ranked Red Rocks came in averaging a score of 197.568 per meet. The No. 69 GymCats average 195.370. On this night, Arizona walked away with the 196.850 to 196.775 victory and they did it without some of their top performers.
