BYU heads to Southern Utah for MRGC Championships

PROVO, Utah — No. 20 BYU will face No. 15 Boise State, Southern Utah and Utah State this Saturday in the Mountain Rim Gymnastics Conference Championships hosted by Southern Utah.

“I really like our lineups. We’re peaking at just the right time,” head coach Guard Young said. “I just love seeing good gymnastics. We’re in a great conference with great gymnastics, and people here in Utah have such a fantastic opportunity to watch and participate in that.”

The Cougars come into the championships after posting the team's second-highest road score of 196.375 against No. 8 Washington and No. 15 Boise State last weekend. The vault team also posted a new season-high score on the event with a 49.100.
