NCAA Gymnastics Update: Utah State University Gears Up to Take on Air Force in High-Stakes Matchup

Utah State’s gymnastics team, renowned for its stellar performances and incredible roster, garnered the attention of the spectators as it hosted a squad meet at the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum recently. The event showcased the team’s competitiveness on the gymnastics stage to welcome powerhouses: Boise State, Iowa State, and Texas women’s gymnastics squads. 

Despite being a strong shower with a season-high-tying score of 196.275, Utah State settled at the second position at the meet, narrowly trailing behind its arch-rival Boise State. Now, the team is finding itself back in the spotlight as it gears up for an eagerly anticipated matchup. 

Utah State igniting for the upcoming NCAA Gymnastics showdown

Recently, the Utah State University Gymnastics team took it to their official Instagram account and posted a couple of pictures. Along with the pictures of Utah’s women’s squad, they penned, “🌟Meet Week Air Force | San José State Friday | 7 p.m. | Colorado Springs #AggiesAllTheWay #onTOP.”

Following a commendable second-place finish at the recently held quad meet, head coach Kristin White said, “I’m really proud of our student-athletes tonight. It’s been an incredible day, from getting a brand new locker room to celebrating our seniors, having a great home score, and ending our home slate here. It has been phenomenal.“

Utah State’s consistent display of strong performances has been the major reason for solidifying its reputation in the collegiate gymnastics world. Although Utah State is considered the top contender on the chart of collegiate gymnastics teams, the upcoming showdown is more challenging than it may seem. 

Utah State vs. Airforce

Interestingly, this is not the first time Utah State University’s gymnastics team will be locking horns with the opponent Air Force. Last month, the women’s squad posted a 194.950-193.925 home opening against the same team insider, the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum. Soon after entering the arena, Utah State made it difficult for the opponent team to survive on the mat.
