MyKayla Skinner might garner most of the press for Utah’s gymnastics team, but the Utes have more to them than one superstar — as MaKenna Merrell-Giles and Tiffani Lewis reminded everyone Friday.
While Merrell-Giles tied Skinner for the all-around, Lewis excelled as a three-event participant in the season-opening 197-194.275 win over the Cougars. Lewis, a senior from Las Vegas, scored 9.9s on the vault and floor and 9.85 on the uneven bars.
“I haven’t been a leadoff very often, but it’s fun,” Lewis said. “It’s fun to start everybody off and I’m fresh and mentally fresh. I can feel the confidence from the teammates.
