Georgia Dabritz may have gotten bumped out of the Utes' balance beam lineup, but when it comes to the uneven bars, well, she owns the event.

The Utah senior earned a 10.0 on the event Saturday to lead the Utes to a season high 49.6 team score in the 198.05-195.9 win over Stanford.

Dabritz, ranked No. 3 nationally on the bars with a 9.929 average, also earned a 10.0 against Arizona on the bars.

She now has four perfect marks in her career on the event, earning one in 2013 and another at the Pac-12 Championships last season, leaving Theresa Kulikowski (1999-2003) as the only Utah gymnast to earn more perfect marks on the uneven bars than Dabritz. Kulikowski earned seven in her career from 1999-2003.

Dabritz said she uses the same approach every time, which apparently is the secret behind her success.

"They're all still exciting for me," she said.

Dabritz narrowly missed earning a 10.0 on the vault, as one judge gave her a 9.95 and the other a 10.0. She added a 9.85 on the floor, coming up just a little short on the last pass.

Utah coach Greg Marsden couldn't criticize her for the misstep, noting she has been sick and is still dealing with the recent death of her club coach from cancer.

"She was slinging snot all over the gym," he said. "It has been a very emotional time for Georgia. Some days are better than others and she is still going through quite a bit."

The only event in which Dabritz didn't shine was the one in which she didn't compete as Dabritz was replaced by Kailah Delaney in the balance beam lineup.

Dabritz fell last week in the Utes' win over Washington while Delaney earned 9.875, prompting the change.

However, coach Greg Marsden said the lineups are fluid and will continue to depend on how the gymnasts not only compete, but how well they practice.

Dabritz earned a 9.875 in exhibition on the beam Saturday.

National publicity

The New York Times had a reporter and photographer at Saturday's meet to do a story on why gymnastics is such a popular sport at Utah. Utah drew 15,202 fans for Saturday's meet, the seventh-largest crowd in school history. They entered Saturday's meet averaging 14,509 fans this year and have averaged more than 14,000 fans the past five seasons.

Utah has led the nation in gymnastics attendance 30 times and has won four all-women's sports attendance titles, including 2014 when the program averaged an NCAA record 14,376 fans.
