SALT LAKE CITY- The California women's gymnastics team scored a 193.525 to place eighth at the Pac-12 Championships inside the Hunstman Center on the University of Utah campus Saturday. UCLA took home the conference title with a score of 197.425, while the host Utes finished second with a mark of 197.375.

"I think based on how we have been up and down this year, we had a lot we are coming back from," said California head coach Danna Durante. "The program was dropped last year and we came back. I am proud of how we finished off. I am really proud of how we fought today. We have been trying to teach them how to be competitors and they showed some of that today. We still have a long way to go, but our girls are fighters, and I am proud of where we are. I am looking forward to already getting back in the gym and training for next season."
