Utah gymnastics star MyKayla Skinner, as expected, has elected to defer her senior year of college competition to pursue a USA Gymnastics Team berth for the the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympic Games.
With a final year of NCAA eligibility left, the two-time NCAA champion says she intends to return for her senior year and compete for the Red Rocks during the 2020-21 season. Skinner, a two-time Pac-12 All-Academic selection, also plans on returning to finish her degree in communications from the U.
Skinner, one of the most decorated gymnasts in school history, has claimed two NCAA titles (vault, floor), eight NCAA regional titles, and seven Pac-12 individual titles.
