Utah Utes gymnastics: Revved-up Utes try to stay relaxed for regionals

This year, the regional score will be incorporated into the seeding for the NCAA Championships at Nebraska April 16-18. The top two teams from each of the six regionals advance to the NCAAs, but seeding will add the regional score to the Regional Qualifying Score (season average of six select meets, three of which must be from the road) and divide by two for a National Qualifying Score.

Marsden doesn't care. "I can't remember how they use that for seeding. It's that unmeaningful to me," he said. "If we're there, that's all I care about."

In addition to Baskett (39.62 RQS) and Kim (39.485), junior Jamie Deetscreek (39.355) ranks 22nd in the all-around. Junior Daria Bijak hasn't had enough scores to rank in the all-around, but she is coming off a career-high 39.525. Junior Annie DiLuzio had a career-high 9.975 on floor in her last meet and scored back-to-back 9.95ss on vault before that. Sophomore Kyndal Robarts is coming off her career-best floor, 9.90.
