No. 4 Red Rocks Post Two ‘Perfect 10’s’ Against No. 6 Cal In Victory

SALT LAKE CITY – After a disappointing outing against ASU on Monday, the Red Rocks came out with their hair on fire posting two perfect 10 routines against No. 6 Cal at home in the Huntsman Center.

On a day dedicated to celebrating women empowerment with the 50th year of Title IX and alumni night, the Utes didn’t disappoint posting a season high score of 198.550 – 197.550.

Jaedyn Rucker and Maile O’Keefe were at the center of a strong team performance posting a perfect 10 on vault and beam. It was a fitting moment for the Red Rocks and the Utah community at large after the two women revealed earlier in the season why they have dedicated their floor and beam routines to late football players Ty Jordan and Aaron Lowe.

O’Keefe’s 10 on beam was her seventh of her career on the event and made her the all-time leader in 10’s on beam for the Utes.
