Utah Red Rocks gymnast Sarah Krump couldn't hold back her emotions as she received a full scholarship for her senior year at the University of Utah. She has been a part of their gymnastics team since 2023 and earned her first career start on floor against Utah State this season, posting a score of 9.825. She initially joined as a preferred walk-on, but will now have some or all of her college expenses covered by the athletics department.

Krump was in tears as she received a full scholarship for her senior year, with a video shared on Instagram.

"Today, Sarah was awarded a full scholarship for her senior year! Sarah leads with grace, grit, and gratitude—always the first to lift others up and never one to ask for credit. She defines what it means to be a Red Rock, on and off the floor. We’re so proud of you, Krump 👏"

Krump took to Instagram to share a message before her move to Utah, writing:

"JO Gymnastics. It's all I've known for the last 12 years. My main focus senior year was my mentality and finding the positive in every meet. Good or bad. I found that in the meets where the scores showed mistakes or missed opportunities, there was still at least one thing to be proud of. The level 10s at Browns this past season had an impact that means more than any score or medal. I am beyond proud of what we were able to do as a team and what it means for the entire optional program."
