The 2016 season did not end how the Utah Red Rocks would have liked. They failed to win the Pac-12 Championship and finished ninth at the NCAA Championships due to struggles on the balance beam. To start the 2017 season, the Red Rocks looked excellent on the balance beam against Michigan, posting a 49.225 on the event. All six of the gymnasts competing on beam scored at least a 9.80 or better. Since joining the Pac-12 in 2012, Utah has not posted a higher beam score in the opening meet of a season than they did against Michigan. In that time span, Utah has won two Pac-12 Championships and placed second at the NCAA Championships.
