Get to know the UCLA Gymnastics team through a series of features that will run every Tuesday leading up to the 2015 home opener on Jan. 19. The sixth episode of Before the Storm features senior Ellette Craddock.

Craddock came to UCLA from Ruth Asawa School of the Arts in San Francisco, where she took contemporary and ballet classes daily. Once "that one freshman on the team who just doesn't seem to get it sometimes," Craddock has grown into a team leader who has learned to embrace every opportunity as a student-athlete at UCLA. No greater example of her growth was evident than when she recorded the Bruins' top score on beam at the NCAA Semifinals last year, a career-high 9.875.
