The stakes

For Utah: The Red Rocks are coming off their best performance of the season. Utah scored its first 198 since 2020 in Friday night’s win over Oregon State, becoming one of only five teams in the country to breach the 198 barrier (LSU also scored a 198 Friday night). The Utes are in the middle of a stretch of three meets in eight days, a scheduling decision made to prepare them for back-to-back competitions during the postseason, at regionals and at nationals. Another high scoring road meet is a need, with the first NQS rankings being released Monday.

For Washington: The Huskies have been dramatically improved this year, their first under head coach Jen Llewellyn. Washington isn’t a top tier Pac-12 team by any means, but the Huskies are young and improving. The Huskies have scored over a 196 in two of their last three meets, including a top 2 finish behind Oklahoma in the Metroplex Challenge on Saturday.

The gymnasts

For Utah: No Ute has been better this season than Maile O’Keefe, who is ranked No. 3 on balance beam. Jillian Hoffman and Sydney Soloski are tied for No. 20 on floor, while Grace McCallum is tied for No. 23 on vault. O’Keefe, McCallum and Cristal Isa have all scored perfect 10s this season, and all three are the winningest Red Rocks, with seven, five and five event wins, respectively.

For Washington: The Huskies are led by sophomore Skylar Killough-Wilhelm. Washington’s primary all-around competitor, Killough-Wilhelm has had a breakout season. She is currently ranked No. 38 in the all-around. Deja Chambliss is another Husky to watch. She is the highest ranked Washington gymnast on an individual event (No. 33 on vault).
