Utah Gymnastics Coach Criticizes Scoring After Disappointing 4th-Place Finish

Carly Dockendorf and fans question NCAA judging inconsistencies during the Sprouts Farmers Market Collegiate Quad meet.

The Utah Red Rocks finished fourth at the Sprouts Farmers Market Collegiate Quad, scoring 196.800, their lowest among top competitors Oklahoma, LSU, and California.
Head coach Carly Dockendorf expressed frustration with scoring, describing it as 'interesting' and noting discrepancies in routine evaluations.
Fans and community members echoed concerns about inconsistent judging, with some alleging favoritism towards certain conferences or teams.
Dockendorf utilized all six routine summaries allowed per meet to challenge scoring decisions, a first in her coaching career, and plans to submit routines for review by the new NCAA judging SCORE board.
Despite the scoring controversy, freshman Avery Neff delivered a standout performance, showcasing her potential as a key contributor to Utah's season.
