Road To Nationals Ends In Berkeley for DU Gymnastics
Denver fell to Cal and Stanford in gymnastics’ sweet 16 and doesn’t advance to Nationals. Although DU didn’t have to count a miss, you can’t fall four times and hope to make up enough tenths to advance. They join Kentucky as the biggest losers of the regionals weekend; these two teams were the only two teams ranked in the top 8 that didn’t advance to the National Championship.
Berkeley Regional Results:
- California 198.275
- Stanford 197.575
- Denver 197.45

Denver gymnastics traveled to BYU on Friday for the second away meet in a row, only four days between meets. Senior star Jessica Hutchinson did not compete. Coach Melissa Kutcher-Rinehart said she was letting Jessica rest to provide opportunities for other team members step up in the lineup.
