Kate Richardson - UCLA Freshman
"There were some mistakes I need to fix before regionals and nationals, but I'm really happy with the way I competed. I was just going in the same way I've gone into every meet this season. I got a little more nervous than I normally do, but it was an incredible meet. When we first started, bars was awesome, everybody hit and everybody stuck. From there, we knew the energy was there."
Jeanette Antolin - UCLA Junior
"Having the whole competition come together on the first three events and then coming together on the vault, which is my best event, was just great."
Kristin Parker - UCLA Senior
On replacing Jamie Dantzscher on the beam.
"[Coach Valorie Kondos Field] has prepared me since freshman year to be ready at the drop of a hat, so it doesn't really affect me. Being the last meet in Pauley, it hasn't really hit me. I just thanked Miss Val for a great four years."
UCLA Head Coach Valorie Kondos Field
On Kate Richardson:
"It's amazing what one person can do. We didn't lose anyone who competed for us last year, and we got Kate. We can put not just our best six out there, but seven. They are as focused in the gym as outside of the gym. You know you're not going to go through a meet without little hurdles, and they did not flinch."
