The University of Utah's gymnastics team, the Red Rocks, clinched their fourth consecutive Pac-12 Championship title with a final score of 198.00, outscoring UCLA (197.875), California (197.325), and Oregon State (196.775). This victory marked them as the first team to achieve four consecutive titles in the conference. Key to their success were performances by Maile O’Keefe, who set a Utah record for perfect 10s, and Grace McCallum. In the SEC Gymnastics Championships, the LSU gymnastics team captured their fifth title and first since 2019 with a final score of 198.075, leading over Bama (197.750), Kentucky (197.600), and Florida (197.300). Haleigh Bryant continued her impressive streak with 31 consecutive routines scoring 9.90 or better, while Konnor McClain scored a perfect 10 on the beam, her third this season.

Kiya Johnson delivers in the anchor spot on floor. That had to have clinched the SEC title for #LSU.
The scores aren't final, but the Red Rocks will win this even if a 10.0 from Selena Harris on bars
Haleigh Bryant with another impeccable score: a 9.95 on floor. It is her 31st straight score of 9.90 or better. Unbelievable. #LSU
Grace McCallum with a 9.90 to finish the night for the Red Rocks, and now we wait. Utah finishes with a 198.000
The drama keeps building. Finnegan stepped OB and got a 9.75 on floor. Bryant and Kiya Johnson must hit for #LSU to win.
With Grace McCallum left to go, the Red Rocks have a 49.400 on vault. UCLA still has a couple gymnasts to go so hard to judge where they're at.
Freshman Amari Drayton in the No. 2 spot on floor: a 9.85. Meanwhile, Kentucky has gone 9.80 on its first two vaults, meaning it will count at least one. Then a 9.925 in the third spot. #LSU
Konnor McClain leads off #LSU on floor with a 9.925. LSU's entire floor lineup has the potential go 9.90+. Now Amari Drayton.
This will be a tight finish with it likely coming down to Utah and UCLA for the title. The Red Rocks lead the Bruins by 0.025 Red Rocks on vault, Bruins on bars
Red Rocks Floor (Ties a season high): • Makenna Smith: 9.925 • Abby Paulson: 9.950 • Jaedyn Rucker: 9.900 • Jaylene Gilstrap: 9.950 • Maile O'Keefe: 9.950 • Grace McCallum: 9.925 https://t.co/JzW7xyzMTo
Going into the final rotation of the night, the Red Rocks pull ahead by a narrow margin over UCLA: Utah (Floor): 148.500 UCLA (Vault): 148.475 Oregon State (Bars): 148.225 Cal (Beam): 147.800
#LSU finishes on floor. The Tigers are No. 1 in the nation on floor. This is where you need to show it with a title on the line. LSU .025 behind Kentucky in the final rotation. Wildcats finish on vault. https://t.co/zxXA3n45dW
And Grace McCallum with another great floor routine. That should make all 6 routines over a 9.90. What a strong event for the Red Rocks.
UK's Raena Worley with a 9.975 to anchor on floor, just pushing the Wildcats ahead of #LSU with one rotation to go. Kentucky 148.425 LSU 148.400 Alabama 148.200 Florida 147.850 The top 3 can still win it.
Postseason Jaedyn Rucker is in effect. She's so good. Should be another high score for the Red Rocks.
It's the third 10.0 score this season for McClain and her second on beam. Jay Clark said earlier this season her beam routine is world-reknowned. I guess so. https://t.co/hVyDnBwjvw
There have been four 9.95s today on beam at SECs. Konnor McClain eclipsed them all. Perfect. 10. The #LSU freshman is an SEC champion.
Savannah Schoenherr with a 9.85 in her first beam routine for #LSU. Now McClain.
Ballard leads off on Beam with a 9.80. Not bad but #LSU will hope to do better. Good solid score you may be OK counting on a night like this.
At the midway point in the meet, the Red Rocks remain in 2nd, but there's a new leader: UCLA (Floor): 99.100 Utah (Beam): 98.800 Oregon State (Vault): 98.775 Cal (Bars): 98.600
Halfway through Session II at the SEC Championships: 1. #LSU (UB) 98.925 Kentucky (BB) 98.925 3. Alabama (VT) 98.775 4. Florida (FX) 98.575 Still anyone's meet. Tigers go to beam next, then floor.
#LSU's Ashley Cowan tied for first overall on bars with Mizzou's Mara Titarsolej: 9.95. https://t.co/SkiP7KW6ON
#LSU's last two scores on bars Schoenherr - 9.85 Bryant - 9.925 Tigers with a 49.450 on bars. They're at 98.925 at the halfway point. UK and UF finishing on beam and floor.
Strong score for Konnor McClain on bars: 9.90. #LSU
And Grace McCallum delivers on beam to reset the tone. That was great and should be a high score. Crowd wants a 10.0.
Heck of a time for Olivia Dunne to have her first uneven bars routine of the season. She gets a 9.80. #LSU will hope to erase that one with McClain, Schoenherr and Bryant to finish.
Makenna Smith with a good beam routine, but had a couple balance checks. She sticks her landing, but not going to be the score Red Rocks want. Tough start on beam
Ashley Cowan ties her career high on bars with a 9.95 in the No. 2 spot for #LSU. 9.95s across the board from the four judges. Now, Olivia Dunne. SEC Network's ratings about to go up.
SEC Championships Session II First rotation T1. #LSU (VT) 49.475 Alabama (FX) 49.475 3. Kentucky (UB) 49.425 4. Florida (BB) 49.400 LSU next goes to bars.
Haleigh Bryant shows why she's No. 1 in the nation on vault. Just dropped a beauty on the Smoothie King Center. A 9.975. Two 9.95s and two 10s from the four judges. She's the clubhouse leader. #LSU
Savannah Schoenherr, the former Florida gymnast, with a 9.85 on vault in the fourth spot. Good but not great scores from #LSU so far.
The Red Rocks have come to play tonight. Amelie Morgan is back from Europe and had another great bars routine.
Aleah Finnegan in 2nd spot with a 9.85 on vault. Took a step on the landing. #LSU
Session II of the SEC Championships is under way. #LSU as No. 1 seed picked the Olympic (home meet) rotation of vault, bars, beam, floor. On @SECNetwork

Warmup on vault has been very, very, very good for the Red Rocks. Multiple sticks that would score very high. The Red Rocks will end the meet on vault tonight.
