Great event—I did not realize how much fun it is to go to a gymnastics meet. Non-stop action. And the crowd is really in to it.
Utes started on vault & struggled as did every other team. Obviously hard to stick the landing when you run full speed for 80 feet, flip multiple times in the air. So Utes were in third place after first round of events.
But bars were incredible. Place exploded when Grace McCallum landed & scored a 10. From there Utes/Red Rocks rolled.
That was my first time at a gymnastics meet. Going to get season tickets from now on.
And it is nice to be a “blue blood” in a sport—I can see why it is easier to recruit. Why go and be a star at a lesser team like the Olympian at Or St when you can be a champion. Just like in BB & FB.

The Red Rocks are on the cusp of yet another team national championship. Let’s all watch and root on these true warrior super heroes and also show that a “small market” town can put about a million eyes on the game; just like the continously sold out Huntsman Center records. What I love the most is the way our home crown actually cheers for the other team. When truly remarkable and dedicated athletes display exemplary talent we should celebrate what they bring to the beauty of sports.
Go Red Rocks!
Go UTES!
Here’s a look at the schools with the most championships:
| TEAM | TITLES | YEARS |
|---|---|---|
| Georgia | 10 | 1987, 1989, 1993, 1998-99, 2005-09 |
| Utah | 9 | 1982-86, 1990, 1992, 1994-95 |
| UCLA | 7 | 1997, 2000-01, 2003-2004, 2010, 2018 |
| Oklahoma | 6 | 2014 (tied), 2016-17, 2019, 2022, 2023 |
| Alabama | 6 | 1988, 1991, 1996, 2002, 2011-12 |
| Florida | 3 | 2013, 2014 (tied), 2015 |
| Michigan | 1 | 2021 |
Utah’s 1992 championship was especially notable, as the Utes set an NCAA record with five individual titles to go along with the team championship. Missy Marlow won the all-around, uneven bars and floor exercise and tied for the balance beam. Kristen Kenoyer shared the title on the vault.
Along with owning the most team titles, Georgia has the most individual champions with 42, through the 2023 championships. UCLA is second with 40.
