No wonder Utah drew over 13,000 fans to each of the first two home meets.
This is a GREAT idea to bring in young gymnasts to watch the NCAA.
No. 2 Utah (3-0) hosts Minnesota (3-2) on Friday, Feb. 1 in the second-annual Short People Appreciation Night, starting at 7 p.m. in the Jon M. Huntsman Center. Life-sized cutouts of Utah’s shortest gymnast – 5-foot senior Katie Kivisto – will be placed outside each entrance. Anyone shorter than the cutout will receive a free general admission ticket.
Utah’s Most Inspirational Gymnast in 2007 — Katie Kivisto — is a leader on this team.
One of the many things I like about Artistic gymnastics is that being short is an advantage, unlike the vast majority of team sports.
