Utan Red Rocks fall short of NCAA gymnastics national title

Vault has been up and down for the Utah Red Rocks over the years. At times, it has been the event that advanced them in the postseason. At others, it’s been the reason for disappointment.

On Saturday, an NCAA National Championship title for Utah hinged on vault yet again — this time, needing to hold onto a small lead by showing out on the event.

Unfortunately, they couldn’t quite get it done.

The Red Rocks finished third in the national championship final with a score of 197.800. LSU came away with its first gymnastics championship in school history.

Utah held first place by less than one-tenth of a point going into the final rotation. But both Camie Winger and Ella Zirbes, who went first and second, scored a 9.2875 and 9.6750, respectively. Despite Winger’s score being dropped, Utah couldn’t overcome Zirbes’s score combined with the way LSU executed its beam rotation.

Savannah Schoenherr of the Tigers fell during her beam routine. But the other five in the lineup scored at least a 9.950 to secure the win.

The Red Rocks started the meet on the uneven bars, an event that gave them trouble in the regional finals. Only two gymnasts got scores above a 9.900, which led to a third-place position for Utah after the first rotation.

Utah moved into second place midway through the meet, exactly one-tenth of a point behind LSU. Three Red Rocks scored above a 9.900 in what is generally considered their best event.

“We’re just going to continue to focus on us until the very end,” coach Carly Dockendorf said in a live interview on the ESPN broadcast after the beam rotation.

On floor, the Red Rocks performed some of the best gymnastics of the entire season. None of the six gymnasts scored below a 9.900, which gave Utah the lead through three rotations. The lead was less than one-tenth of a point ahead of the Tigers, and just 0.15 ahead of Cal.

Quarterback Michael Penix Jr. sets the tone for Washington Huskies’ run to the college football title game

New Orleans • The Sugar Bowl was a little more than 24 hours away, and sixth-year Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr. called a players-only meeting as their moment drew near. He walked to the front of the room on two surgically repaired knees along with edge rusher Edefuan Ulofoshio and delivered a message. The new year was five hours away. Bourbon Street was a short walk away. Families flooded into town. Texas fans, much to Washington’s chagrin, were all over the Huskies’ team hotel, too. This was their time to lock in and focus. They needed to block out distractions, though the midnight fireworks downtown made it hard to get to sleep early. He reminded them they’d been working their whole lives for an opportunity like the one they’d earned. They’d won their past nine games by 10 or fewer points and needed second-half comebacks to win three of them. All of it had carried them to this moment. He told them to be ready. No one was more ready than Penix himself, who connect...
