In Hunger’s first year with Utah, the vault lineup saw improvement, moving from No. 7 in 2024 to No. 6 in 2025. The Red Rocks wrapped up Hunger’s first season with a trip to their 49th straight National Championship appearance and fifth straight Final Four appearance, finishing fourth place overall in the country. Utah gymnastics is the only collegiate team in the nation that has never missed either competition. Additionally, with Hunger’s help, the Red Rocks earned their 35th NCAA Regional title as a program, and kept their conference title streak alive at five straight (four Pac-12 titles- 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, and one Big 12 title- 2025), winning the Big 12 Regular Season title and Big 12 Championship in their first season competing in the conference. Hunger’s vault team cleaned up in Big 12 Conference recognitions placing four athletes (Makenna Smith, Ella Zirbes, Ashley Glynn, and Grace McCallum) on the All-Big 12 vault team. McCallum and Glynn were also crowned Big 12 vault co-champions, with McCallum earning NCAA First Team All-America honors on vault later in the season. Hunge
