STANFORD, Calif. - The No. 3 ranked University of Utah gymnastics team started out flat, then got flattened by No. 18 Stanford, 195.550-194.275. It was Stanford's best score of the year and Utah's worst on a night that the Utes fell five times.
"We were flat from the first event and never got it rolling," said Utah coach Greg Marsden, who saw his team fall to 6-2--the first time Utah has lost two regular season meets in nine years. "This was an opportunity for us to compete against a good team on their floor and have a good meet. We just didn't do it."
Theresa Wolf started the meet for Utah with a fall on her bar dismount. The other five Utes hit their routines, but nearly all of them struggled. Utah started its next event in similar fashion, as Sarah Northrop sat both vaults to set up a relatively lackluster set. Just about everyone got in the act of falling, with Angie Leonard--the nation's top ranked all-arounder--crashing on both floor and beam. Despite their bout with the spills, the Utes weren't out of it until the final event. Down by half a point going into beam, Utah needed a big score to make a run at the Cardinal, who were recording season-best scores on every event.
It didn't happen. Two Utes toppled off the beam and Shannon Bowles--the nation's sixth ranked beam worker--had a major break. Only Denise Jones escaped the medley of falls. Jones posted a 39.00 all-around to finish second to Stanford's Amy Murakami (39.25).
