SALT LAKE CITY -
Ute sophomore All-American Kim Allan, a three-event performer who was scheduled to join the all-around lineup this Tuesday, ruptured her (left) Achilles tendon in practice on Sunday. She is tentatively scheduled to undergo surgery to repair the tendon on February 7 and will miss the remainder of the season. The injury occurred on the takeoff for a double back on the floor exercise.
"This is a terrible loss for the team," said Head Coach Greg Marsden. "Kim had been competing three events for us and was scheduled to join the floor exercise lineup and go all-around for us on Tuesday (vs. Utah State)." Allan, an All-American on the balance beam as a freshman at last year's NCAA Championships, had "hit" all 12 of her routines this year. Her best scores this season were a 9.85 on the balance beam, a 9.80 on the uneven bars and a 9.675 on the vault. She was scheduled to upgrade the start value of her vault to a 10.0 on Tuesday.
