“You feel gutted for an athlete, especially this one because I’ve watched her perseverance and admire it,” Utah gymnastics coach Tom Farden says after Jillian Hoffman suffers a season-ending injury in a loss to Cal.
“I am beside myself, to be honest with you,” he said. “You feel gutted for an athlete, especially this one because I’ve watched her perseverance and admire it.”
That effort, combined with just a 49.25 from the Bears on the beam, gave the Utes a 148.2-148.0 lead going into the last rotation. The Utes also had to count a fall on the beam against UCLA and had trouble against Arizona State, when they scored a 49.025. Then, Farden said he thought the mistakes were an anomaly and wasn’t going to make a big deal about it.“I am not here to make excuses, but we didn’t do our job on the last event,” he said. “There is a human element to sports that bonds teammates, coaches and community and the team was upset, really upset and we had to make adjustments on the fly.
