Quick Sticks For the first time in school history, Utah’s home meets, as well as all postseason meets, will be broadcast live on the school’s flagship radio station ESPN 700. Mike Lageschulte will call the play-by-play with former Utah All-American and NCAA champion Georgia Dabritz providing the color commentary … Utah became the first school in the country to top 9,000 season gymnastics tickets with more than 9,200 sold prior to the semester break. The ticket count breaks Utah’s previous record of 8,763 set last year when the Utes averaged an NCAA gymnastics record 15,224 fans to their home meets. Single-meet tickets are now on sale … The Utes were ranked fifth in the preseason National Association of Collegiate Gymnastics Coaches (NACGC) coaches’ poll, mirroring their finish at the 2017 NCAA Championships. Utah was the highest ranked Pac-12 school in the national coaches’ poll. The defending Pac-12 champion Utes were picked to finish second in the preseason Pac-12 coaches’ poll.
Chalk Talk Making their Ute coaching debut tonight will be assistant coach Robert Ladanyi and volunteer assistant coach Carly Dockendorf. Ladanyi, a 12-year NCAA veteran and three-time NCAA Region Co-Assistant Coach of the Year at Florida, has three NCAA champions and 45 All-Americans at Florida and Denver to his credit. He is coaching the vault and tumbling elements on floor. Dockendorf, a former All-America gymnast and pole-vaulter for Washington, oversees Utah’s floor choreography and music. Utah has two gymnasts on its roster from the Provo area: junior MaKenna Merrell-Giles (Pleasant Grove) and sophomore Kim Tessen (Orem). Both trained at AllAmerican Gymnastics during their club careers. Merrell’s older sister Mickell was a BYU gymnast from 2008-12.
Fan Fun In honor of the “Red Out,” 15,000 red pom-poms will be distributed courtesy of Deseret First Credit Union … The Kid Zone has moved to a new location between portals 13-15 near the northeast entrance and will open at 5:30 p.m. The Kid Zone features a balloon artist, face painter, poster-making station, life-sized Swoop bobble head and more … Season ticket holders may pick up their exclusive Pac-12 Champions Pennant Flag prior to the meet with the voucher included in their season ticket packet. Limit is one per ticket account. Winner Skinner Sophomore MyKayla Skinner, the 2017 NCAA floor champion and all-around runner-up, won 43 event titles in her first season—the second most in a single season by a Ute. She won a school-record 12 of 14 possible all-around titles, including semifinal competition at the NCAA Championships, when she also took first on vault and floor. Skinner, the most decorated freshman in Pac-12 history a year ago when she set records for most Gymnast of the Week (7) and Freshman of the Week (6) 4|
Lineup Look Utah returns 10 letterwinners from last year’s 12-member roster, including five All-Americans: MyKayla Skinner, Kari Lee, MaKenna Merrill-Giles, Tiffani Lewis, and Maddy Stover. Utah lost two gymnasts (both AllAmericans) from last year’s fifth-place NCAA and Pac-12 champion team: Baely Rowe and Sabrina Schwab … Projected to go all-around for the Utes are All-America allarounders Skinner and Merrell-Giles, along with Missy Reinstadtler … Lee and Lewis will compete on three events, with Lee bidding to join the all-around lineup. Lee is challenging freshman Sydney Soloski for a place in the bar lineup … Kim Tessen, who has recovered from a season-ending injury, is pushing for starting spots on vault, bars and beam. Ute Insider Freshmen Sydney Soloski and Alexia Burch have been training with the team since last summer, while walk-on Lauren Wong expects to join the team on Jan. 11. Wong has graduated a semester early from Salt Lake City’s Skyline High School … Among the upgraded difficulty in this year’s lineup is MyKayla Skinner’s new flight combination on beam where she goes from a switch leg leap to a straddle jump to a tuck back.

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 |
