Will a new era of Utah gymnastics look anything like the last?
- While it is true that Utah may have less competitive meets week in and week out during the regular season (to be fair, Iowa State does appear to be on the rise, while ASU and BYU have been consistent in qualifying for the postseason recently) there is nothing to suggest that the Red Rocks will be worse off competing in the Big 12.

Utah, known for its strong gymnastics program, is looking to assert dominance in the early season, while Denver aims to prove its mettle against a traditional powerhouse.
