In this week's Where are They Wednesday, we catch up with Kristina Baskett, one of Utah's most successful gymnasts and a 12-time All-American. Today, Kristina works as a stunt performer in Los Angeles and has appeared in over 40 commercials, television, and major motion picture titles. She continues to train in gymnastics as well as martial arts and acting. Some of her more recent work consists of the stunts performed in the new Nationwide Insurance commercials.

Kristina says, "A lot of people as me how I got in to the stunt business and I am always so proud to say it all started with being an athlete at the University of Utah. There are not enough ways to express how much I love Utah Gymnastics!"
