Ute Freshman Wins Award for Fourth-Straight Week
SAN FRANCISCO—Utah freshman MyKayla Skinner remains the sole 2017 recipient of the Pac-12 Gymnast of the Week award with her fourth-straight citation announced today. Skinner, who has led the No. 4 Utes to a 6-0 record in the first four weeks of the season, captured four individual titles in Utah's win at No. 19 Washington last Saturday.
Â
Her 39.575 all-around score was the best in the Pac-12 last week and helped Skinner maintain her No. 2 national ranking in the all-around. She also won vault, beam and floor at UW, raising her season win total to 17 of a possible 20 individual titles.
Â
For the first time this season, Skinner was not also named Pac-12 Freshman of the Week—something she accomplished in the first three weeks. However, with her latest award, she has tied the school record for most Pac-12 Gymnast of the Week honors with four—also achieved by Georgia Dabritz in 2015. Dabritz holds the school record for career Pac-12 Gymnast of the Week awards with six from 2012-15.
Â
In addition to her No. 2 national ranking in the all-around, Skinner is No. 4 on both beam and floor, No. 6 on vault and No. 12 on bars.
Â
Utah hosts undefeated and No. 15-ranked California this Saturday at 1:30 p.m. in the Huntsman Center.
