Utah may just be the most dangerous college gymnastics team. The Red Rocks begin their season now with a tri-meet against Minnesota and Iowa on January 2.
Utah has plenty of returning talent in Makenna Smith, Ella Zirbes and Avery Neff, who earned Big 12 Newcomer of the Year and became a 4x All-American in her freshman season despite missing time with injury. While ranked No. 5 in the WCGA Poll, the Red Rocks only care about how they finish.
Last season, the Red Rocks finished fourth in the NCAA Championship, their 49th straight appearance. Utah has a title on its mind, and it starts at home against Minnesota and Iowa.
Here's how to watch the Utah tri-meet with TV channel and live stream information.
