The Mountain Rim Gymnastics Conference (MRGC) was a National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I women's gymnastics conference for schools that do not have women's gymnastics as a sponsored sport in their primary conferences. Established in 2013 and sponsoring its first competitions in 2014, the conference was recognized by the NCAA in the summer of 2014 [1] and held its first "official" championships in March 2015 with qualifying athletes advancing to the Regionals of the NCAA Women's Gymnastics Championships.[2] The conference was dissolved in 2023 after three of its four members departed; Utah State and Boise State began competing in their primary conference of the Mountain West after it added women's gymnastics as a sponsored sport,[3] and BYU moved to the Big 12 along with the rest of the school's athletic programs.
