She is projected to compete in exhibition on those events again vs. OSU … Freshman Lauren Wong, who began practicing with the team last Thursday, could get a shot in exhibition on bars against OSU. She traveled with the team to Reno last weekend.
In the Rankings With the national rankings moving to season average, Utah remained at No. 2 behind LSU. The Utes are No. 1 on both vault and floor (tied) and are No. 3 on bars. MyKayla Skinner is ranked second in the nation in the all-around with a 39.587 average and is tied for second on vault, third on bars and 16th on floor. MaKenna Merrell-Giles is ranked No. 6 in the all-around with a 39.462 average and is tied for fourth on floor and 25th on bars. Kim Tessen is No. 12 on vault and Tiffani Lewis is No. 13 on vault.
Utah Co-Coaches Megan Marsden and Tom Farden are in their third season as a co-head coaching tandem. It is Marsden’s ninth year as Utah’s co-head coach and her 34th year overall on the staff. Farden is in his third year as the co-head coach and his eighth year on the Ute coaching staff.

Jon M. Huntsman Center
T
he most famous college gymnastics facility in the country, Utah’s Jon M. Huntsman Center has showcased more major collegiate gymnastics meets than any other venue. The Huntsman Center has hosted a record nine national championships—one AIAW and eight NCAA Championships: 1981 (AIAW), 1982, 1983, 1985, 1987, 1988, 1994, 1999 and 2007. Other gymnastics events making Huntsman Center appearances include the 1979 USGF World Championships Trials, the 1980 and ’82 Championships of the USA, the 1993 World University Games Trials, 13 NCAA regional championships (most recently in 2016) and two Pac-12 Championships. Opened in 1969 on the southeast side of campus (elevation 4,657 feet), the 15,000-seat Huntsman Center is still in pristine condition. The facility underwent a $6 million renovation in 2014. The project included the installation of a supergrid ceiling structure, a state-of-the-art sound system, brighter and energy-efficient LED lighting in the arena and concourse, a maple wood floor, and updated graphics wrapping the walls of the lower bowl and mid-level concourse. New videoboards were installed last fall at a cost of $4.1 million. Also calling the Huntsman Center home are the Ute men’s and women’s basketball, and women’s volleyball teams. The Huntsman Center ranks third among the nation’s arenas for most NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament games held (81). Perhaps the most legendary NCAA 20 |
