Coming off a so-so season, where the team pulled off a heroic 13^th place finish, Denver gymnastics faces many unknowns for 2026. By the numbers, Denver should have averaged 197.2 this year. The only athlete who didn’t return for a fifth season was Jessica Hutchinson. Denver should have been consistently strong, given their record smashing season in 2024. Instead, they could only muster a 196.7 NQS, with some huge misses along the way. Yet they performed well in regional semi-finals to finish above their #18 seed. The season was baffling and frustrating for fans. But it’s going to get worse in 2026. Continue reading Will Denver Gymnastics Fade Into Obscurity? →

Denver gymnastics upset #13 Stanford to advance to Regional Finals, but the team’s run ended there. They placed third out of four teams, with another upset of a seeded team, #10 Minnesota. But only the top two teams advance to National Semifinals from each of the four Regional Finals. The silver lining for Pio fans is that three athletes will advance as individuals to the NCAA Finals: Sophomore Madison Ulrich earned an individual All Around spot, along two of our stellar fifth-year athletes: Rylie Mundell on Bars, and Rosie Casali on Vault.

Huntsman Center in Salt Lake City. The University of Utah plays host to regional competition where the top two finishers proceed to national semifinals.

The Big 12 has crowned a new gymnastics champion, the University of Utah.  Arizona took second place. Denver finished third. This was not the finish I would have predicted back in January, but isn’t all that surprising with how the season has gone. Continue reading Denver Gymnastics Takes Third at Big 12 Championships →

Denver ended the regular season with a loss at #13 Stanford. Under-rotation was the word of the day as DU continued to struggle with consistency. Denver’s score of 196.475 did increase their NQS very slightly going into post-season seedings, but their rank stays at #18. Stanford had two meets this weekend to gear up for championship gymnastics, which is either a great strategy or a path to burnout before the wins count.

Denver gymnastics finished their last home meet of the season with a win over Arizona State (196.7 to 195.575). Denver was undefeated at home in 2025! The team honored their four 5th year (COVID eligibility) athletes and their two seniors.

But even more than honoring their seniors, the team made a dream come true for 11 year-old Parker boy, Matthew Conklin. Grandview High School in Aurora teamed up with Dream on 3 (dreamon3.org) to grant Matthew’s biggest dream to attend the SEC gymnastics championship. Dream on 3 makes sports-themed dreams come true for kids living with life-altering conditions. Not only did Grandview High raise enough money to send Matthew to Birmingham later this month, but they made special arrangements for Matthew to be honored at Magness.
