Rebuilding programs. The Washington gymnastics team and one of its senior captains, Kristen Linton of Edmonds, have both been engaged in one the past few years.

The fruits of both efforts will be on display Saturday when an ascending Huskies squad competes as the No. 3 seed in a six-team NCAA regional meet at the University of Oklahoma.

The top two teams advance to the NCAA national meet April 15. The Huskies, ranked 17th, need to bump off either fifth-ranked Oklahoma or seventh-ranked Utah to reach nationals for the first time since 1998.
