Salt Lake City β After a rough first game against the No. 1 Oklahoma Sooners last week, the No. 4 Red Rocks returned to the Huntsman Center to host the No. 25 Washington Huskies.
The competition was never in doubt as the Red Rocks quickly notified the Huskies that they weren’t there to play the game. We have won.
Rotation 1: Utah Vault, UW Birds
Unfortunately the landing was blocked, but Hoffmann fought hard with beautiful 1.5 and π― landings. 9.950 for effort.Great rotation to kick things off #RedRocks pic.twitter.com/Uktp5SP0yd

The Red Rocks got off to a good start after Rotation 1, leading the Huskies 49.425 β 49.000. The highlight at Vault was Jillian Hoffman’s Stack 1.5. This is the first time she has competed in the vault since returning from her injury last season.
Rotation 2: Utah Bars, UW Vault
Today’s score is very bad. One judge gave Grace her McCallum her 10 on her bar her routine, and another gave her 9.900. She’s kind of like her third or fourth routine where she had a big discrepancy in scoring. #Utes

overview
Another strong show for Rotation 2 Red Rocks, with Maile O’Keeffe and Grace McCallum starring in the show. There is a pattern of extreme inconsistency in how routines are scored today. So far, about three or four of Utah’s routines have had a one-tenth difference between the judges. For example, one judge gave McCallum a 10 and another gave him a 9.900.
Rotation 3: Utah Beam, UW Floor
The crowd wanted 10 for O’Keeffe, but had to settle for 9.975. Once again an absolutely amazing effort.#GoUtes #beam team #trust pic.twitter.com/S0ikIzmBDo

Another beautiful effort despite some uncharacteristic misses from Red Rocks on the beam. Maile O’Keefe and Crystal Isa were quite exquisite to end the rotation. Utah are ahead in fourth with a very comfortable lead.
Final Rotation: UW Beam, Utah Floor
Brenner might be the juice #RedRocks Needed on the floor. A great energy piece that scored 9.875.#GoUtes #trust pic.twitter.com/yIKK8S2kuf
