Sage Thompson's career from Utah to Oregon State is as decorated as they come. Thompson was a key team member helping Utah to a third-place national finish in both 2022 and 2023, earning NCAA All-America honors on uneven bars as a true freshman in 2021. This year Sage finished with an average of 9.900 and earned a Pac-12 Honorable Mention selection on uneven bars.

Harmless Harvest Coconut Water is committed to "making the most amazing coconut water in the most ethical way possible". Harmless Harvest makes organic certified coconut water to make sure none of their coconuts are not irradiated or produced with GMOs. Coconut water is filled with electrolytes which are charged minerals that help you stay hydrated. The body loses water and electrolytes from sweating during exercise and the electrolytes in coconut water help you replenish both. It makes sense why Harmless Harvest would partner with a dynamic athlete like Sage Thompson to demonstrate the benefits after working out.
