Narrative:

While on approach; we started out a little high due to thunderstorms that were on our arrival. The deviation was going to get us on the ground with about 6.4 left on the fuel. Once we got just north of the airport; we were turned onto a downwind and cleared to 4;000 and after that 3;000. Once we got close to leveling off at 3;000 feet; we were given a base turn almost inside of iyuta and cleared down to 2;600 ft. At that time we reported the airport in sight and I noticed that we were still around 240 KIAS. I queried the captain if he still wanted to go that fast and he said he had not realized we were still going that fast and started slowing. He dropped the gear and started slowing while also following the glide slope. I made the 1;000 ft call but we both realized we only had flaps 15 selected up until that point. We missed that gate but it looked like the aircraft was slowing enough to make the 500 ft gate. As we tried to get the aircraft slowed I think we may have had only flaps 25 at the 500 ft gate; at which point I should have made the go-around call per SOP. However; neither of us announced the go around and we continued to land and luckily landed uneventfully. As we taxied clear of the runway; we both agreed that we should have gone around and after the fact realized our non-compliance. I realized that I should have used my training; as well as been assertive and announce the go-around per SOP; and I still regret not speaking up as I should have.
