Michigan @ Utah Live Blog

Tonight, Michigan begins their season on the road at Utah.

Michigan is looking to get a good start to their season and make it to NCAAs, since they missed out last year.

Utah is looking for a Super Six berth after failing to make it last year. Also, MyKayla Skinner, world medalist, Olympic alternate is making her NCAA debut with Utah tonight in front of 15,000 fans.

Refresh the page every few minutes for the latest updates!

Utah is amazing and they have put their (tentative) line-ups in their meet notes. I put a screenshot below for reference.

Ok, well, this is going to be delayed because the PAC-12 Networks are stupid and they're playing basketball instead of gymnastics. :(

Ok it's on and I missed the first routine, now I'm pissed. Anyways..
