Shane gave Kim and I tickets at Christmas to this Utes gymnastic meet. We had never been to one before, and it was really a lot of fun. With 4 Universities all going at once, it was huge with noise and activity going on constantly, but it was really a fun experience. There is something about the U of U that really has electricity in the air when they perform, and the first video is just as they were going to announce the 4 teams. The second video is all teams warming up.
There was over 15,000 people at a gymnastics meet! I was stunned. Most of the Hunstsman Center was full. Very few seats were empty. Shane says that more people go to gymnastics meets than basketball games! And guess what? THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH GYMNASTICS TEAM IS RATED #1 IN THE NATION RIGHT NOW!!!! So it was exciting to see girls in gymnastics that were top in the nation. One of their girls, is from Germany and I remember her being on Germany's Olympic team in Bejing.
Below is just a few pictures of different teams competing.
This picture was taken after they announced the winning team, which was the Utes. It was fun. I would definately go to another meet if I had the chance.
1st- University of Utah
2nd- SUU
3rd- BYU
4th- Texas Western
(Might I add, that I can't believe the rivalry between the U and BYU, even at at meet such as this. Holy cow!)
My mom and I were there too. We're sad that we didn't know you were there. We could have met up. It really was amazing how many people were there.
ReplyDeleteI went to one of those FOREVER ago and loved it. I'm glad you guys had fun. How nice of Shane!
ReplyDeleteOh how I wish I could take my girls to something like that. They would love that. Especially Kyndra. Love the U and BYU rivalry. GO UTES!!
ReplyDeleteI wish we could've gone that night with you guys, but we already had plans. I used to go to the SUU gymanastics meets and thought they were so fun. That's sweet the U is ranked number one. I'm also glad that little SUU beat the other two teams. Haha.
