Kristina Baskett:
[quote]With other top schools failing to aggressively recruit Baskett, it wasn't too hard for the Utes to convince her to sign. What they got was a national champion, and, just maybe, the makings of a consistently great gymnast.
Baskett opened her sophomore season with a 39.6 to win the all-around Friday in Utah's win over UCLA. Her scores, all 9.9s, are a model of the consistency she found late in 2006 and what she hopes to carry through this year. [/quote]
[quote]Inconsistent as a club gymnast, Baskett thrived last season in the college atmosphere as she embraced the team concept and relaxed. College gymnastics brings the pressure of competing for a team, but Baskett preferred it to the often stuffy feeling of club competition.
"Those meets were boring, you don't see 11,000 people at a club meet because they're so long, they just weren't fun," she said. [/quote]
