THIS WEEK IN UTAH GYMNASTICS
No. 9 Utah (10-2) travels to Gainesville, Fla., for a dual meet with No. 5 Florida (8-2) on Friday, Mar. 19. The meet starts at 7 p.m. EDT in the Stephen C. O'Connell Center. Live scores and commentary can be found on www.utahutes.com.QUICK STICKS
Florida is hosting the 2010 NCAA Championships on April 22-24 ... Utah and Florida have met one common opponent this season: Both schools beat Georgia at home ... Utah's last win in Gainesville was in 2001 (for more on the series, see PDF) ... With one home meet remaining, Utah is on pace to break its own NCAA attendance record of 13,861 (set in 2009). The Utes are averaging 14,049 fans to their first five meets. Utah's biggest crowds have come against Georgia (NCAA record 15,552), Nebraska (14,726) and in last week's quad meet with Oregon State, Penn State and Southern Utah (14,411) ... Utah is ranked No. 9 for the fourth straight week ... Utah has posted its best scores of the year in its last two meets: a 196.575 against Nebraska and a season-high 196.975 in last week's quad meet ... With the return of Gael Mackie from injury, Utah has some options on bars. Mackie, a three-event performer before an ankle injury sidelined her for three weeks, has competed in exhibition the last two weeks. Her 9.85 last week would have counted in Utah's total had she been in the starting lineup ... Annie DiLuzio has seven wins on floor, where she is currently tied for eighth in the nation with a 9.910 RQS ... Utah has three all-arounders ranked in the top 25: Daria Bijak is 15th (39.345 RQS), Kyndal Robarts is 19th (39.265) and Jamie Deetscreek is tied for 24th (39.215 RQS) ... In its two losses, Utah won just one individual title (Robarts on vault vs. Michigan). In the eight competitions that Utah took first place, a Ute has won 38 of the 40 event/all-around titles ... Ute winners are Bijak (12), DiLuzio (12), Deetscreek (11), Robarts (9) and Cortni Beers (1) ... Two Utes haven't fallen this season: Robarts (38-38) and Beth Rizzo (9-9).UTAH AND THE RANKINGS
This week's top 10 includes Alabama (197.155), Oklahoma (196.935), UCLA (196.900), Georgia (196.690), Florida (196.685), Arkansas (196.510), Oregon State (196.460), Stanford (196.450), Utah (196.275) and Michigan (196.215). For the complete top 25 and individual rankings, see PDF.LAST WEEK
