Even with 11 freshmen and sophomores on its 2012 roster, the Utah gymnastics team is predicted to qualify for the NCAA Super Six for a record 18th time according to the preseason coaches' poll released today.

Rounding out the preseason top 12 are Oregon State, Stanford, Georgia, Michigan, Arkansas and LSU.
