MyKayla Skinner is perhaps the most talented recruit ever to put on a Utah uniform. In her debut meet against Michigan she won the all around and more. From Salt Lake Tribune article.
Skinner won the all-around and either won or tied for the win on three other events to help the No. 6 Utes defeat No. 7 Michigan 196.625-195.525 in front of 14,675 fans at the Huntsman Center on Saturday.
Skinner opened her college career by winning the vault with a 9.9. She was one of the few Utes who didn't falter on her landing. She competed third in the uneven bars, an event considered her weakest, but again emerged the victor, winning with another 9.9.
Skinner was second to teammate Baely Rowe on the balance beam, scoring 9.85 while Rowe won the event with a 9.925, but she capped off the meet with a final big performance, scoring 9.9 to tie MaKenna Merrell for the floor title. That effort also gave her the all-around title with a 39.55.
On the PAC-12 Network broadcast they were saying that she actually has to "dumb down" her routines and that she did the most difficult vault ever by a Utah gymnast.
