HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill. -
MyKayla Skinner, who signed with the Ute gymnastics team last November, finished second on vault and seventh in the all-around at the prestigious Secret U.S. Classic last weekend. Skinner, a member of the U.S. Senior National Team, has deferred enrolling in school for a year to pursue a berth on the U.S. Olympic team.
In a field of more than 100 of the country’s top female gymnasts, Skinner was one of six members of the gold-medal winning 2014 U.S. World Championships team who competed at the Secret U.S. Classic. The meet also featured three gold medalists from the 2012 Olympics.
