Now in her senior year, Rucker recovered from her knee injury to win an NCAA championship on the vault last year. Not only is she a strong competitor for the fifth-ranked Utes but also a respected leader.
“I had been waiting and waiting and waiting to get my chance to compete,” she said. “I had to learn to switch my mindset to more positive things and realize even though I wasn’t competing, I had an opportunity to be a part of an amazing program. I just needed to switch my mindset to do amazing things.���
Rucker savors her role, considering how her career started. The injury she sustained when she was a high school senior caused scar tissue in the knee area that had to be cleaned up, which meant she couldn’t compete for the Utes until she was a sophomore. “I used to have a blind landing and we worked on it last year so I could spot the ground coming into the landing,” she said. “It just clicked right before nationals. Now I know how to adjust when I get in the air to get the landing that I want.”
