When a program with ten national titles in its trophy case, but none since 1995, decides it’s time to stop just being a legacy and start winning like one again? Well, you get Utah. Specifically, this Utah team. No. 4-ranked and fiery as ever, the Red Rocks are back on the hunt for what would be a historic 11th national championship.
They cruised through the Salt Lake City regional with a commanding 197.825, punching their ticket to Fort Worth. And now? They’re battling in the NCAA semifinals’ second session with giants like No. 1 LSU and No. 5 UCLA.
But just when everything looked picture-perfect… the Red Rocks were struck by a moment that no one saw coming. A flash of heartbreak in a sport that leaves no room for error.
Camie Winger, the 19-year-old sophomore with nerves of steel and a spark that had lit up routines all season, mounted the beam with her usual quiet focus. She had been solid, dependable—one of those athletes you rarely worried about when pressure hit. But this time? Her foot placement was just a hair off..
Now, in NCAA gymnastics, a fall on beam it’s a 1.0-point deduction.
