UTAH GYMNASTICS COACHES RECEIVE 5-YEAR CONTRACT EXTENSION
“We are privileged to have two of the finest gymnastics coaches in the country in Tom Farden and Megan Marsden and this contract extension signifies their commitment to the future success of Utah gymnastics,” said Hill. “Tom is a rising star in the gymnastics coaching world and Megan’s reputation is well established. They make a great team.”
Farden and Marsden are beginning their third year as co-head coaches of the Ute gymnastics program, a position Marsden has held for the past eight years (six with the program’s founding coach Greg Marsden). Both previously served as Utah assistant coaches. Farden is preparing for his eighth season at Utah, while Marsden — who won multiple NCAA team and individual championships as a Ute gymnast — is in her 34th year on the coaching staff.
“Megan and I are grateful to Dr. Hill for his faith in us,” said Farden. “With the unrivaled resources, fan base and tradition of success at Utah, we think this is the best coaching job in the country. Our goal is to continue to compete for championships and maintain our position among the nation’s elite gymnastics programs year in and year out.”
The duo won their first Pac-12 Championship as co-directors last year (Utah’s third Pac-12 Championship in the last four years) and led the 2017 Utes to the NCAA Super Six, finishing fifth in the nation. Utah has qualified for the NCAA Championship every year they have been on the staff—extending Utah’s national-record streak of national championship appearances to 42 years.
