Utah’s fifth-ranked gymnastics team opens its season Friday against No. 12 Kentucky at 6 p.m. in the Huntsman Center.
That much is set. Everything else about the opener seems to be wide open, from expectations to lineups.
The first meet in the post-Greg and Megan Marsden era has a lot of expectations; fans have even ponied up with a program-record 9,376 season tickets sold. But coach Tom Farden isn’t selling his team too hard. He, like fans, isn’t really sure what he has on his hands this season.
“We are so young, losing 14 routines from our NCAA lineup,” he said.
