With the pressure mounting and her team counting on her, Grace McCallum stepped onto the mat and delivered a performance that brought the crowd to its feet. The Utah gymnastics star needed a 9.875 to clinch the all-around title—but more importantly, she wanted to help her team maintain their lead in a fiercely competitive meet.
Opening with a powerful tumbling pass, McCallum’s precision and poise were on full display. The energy in the arena was electric, with her teammates cheering from the sidelines as the music swelled and every move hit with perfect timing.
She closed her routine with a clean front layout into a one-and-a-half twist, a challenging pass executed with grace and confidence. As the music faded and the applause roared, it was clear: McCallum had done more than enough.
Not only did she secure the score needed—judges awarded her a 9.875—but she also solidified her role as a leader on the floor and a key contributor to Utah’s continued gymnastics dominance.
