The Utah gymnastics team continues its quest for a national title today in the 2011 NCAA Super Six team finals starting at 4 p.m. ET (2 p.m. MT). Utah, which qualified into the finals by placing third in its semifinal competition last night, joins Alabama, Michigan, Nebraska, Oklahoma and UCLA in the Super Six.
The Utes are making a record-tying 17th Super Six appearance, failing to make the cut just twice in the 19-year history of the format. Utah is the only program to qualify for every Super Six since 2000.

The Utes will begin Super Six competition on the balance beam, rotating from there to a bye, floor, vault, bye and bars.
Last night, Utah survived a stacked semifinal to qualify into the Super Six, beating the No. 1 (Florida) and No. 3 (Oregon State) for the third spot. Stephanie McAllister finished fifth in the all-around with a 39.325 and Corrie Lothrop tied for seventh with a 39.250.
McAllister earned two All-America awards, taking first-team honors on vault with a 9.90 and second-team honors in the all-around. Mary Beth Lofgren is Utah's other All-American, earning first-team honors on beam (9.825). McAllister and Lofgren will represent Utah in individual event finals on Sunday.
