Utah Red Rocks Claim First Big 12 Gymnastics Title

The fourth-ranked Utah Red Rocks made history by winning their first Big 12 championship with a score of 198.075, defeating Denver 197.525 in front of a packed crowd. This victory capped an undefeated 6-0 conference run in their debut season, securing them sole possession of the Big 12 Regular Season Title and positioning them for a strong postseason. Standout performances from Grace McCallum and Makenna Smith contributed to the team's new season highs on balance beam and floor, helping them join the elite group of teams that have broken the 198-score threshold this season.

The NCAA will announce the field for Nationals on March 24, with Utah set to host the Regionals from April 2-6. The Red Rocks' championship win lays a solid foundation for their postseason aspirations.
