A crowd of 5,200—the largest in the history of the Red Rocks Preview--turned out Friday night to take an early look at the 2016 Ute gymnastics team, and from the noise in the Huntsman Center, they liked what they saw.
There was certainly plenty to cheer about on vault, bars and floor, and four Utes—seniors Kassandra Lopez and Breanna Hughes, and sophomores Maddy Stover and Samantha Partyka—hit their routines on all four events impressively.
Highlights on vault, where a new scoring system has devalued the most popular vault in recent years (the Yurchenko full) to a 9.
