UCLA led all schools with eight athletes earning a total of 14 All-Pac12 honors.

Eight UCLA gymnasts earned a total of 14 All-Pac-12 honors in 2018, the most in the conference this season.

Pac-12 all-around and uneven bars co-champion Kyla Ross led UCLA with a total of four honors, being selected to the first team in the all-around and uneven bars and to the second team on vault and balance beam.

Pac-12 Specialist of the Year Katelyn Ohashi was a first-team honoree on both balance beam and floor exercise, and Pac-12 Scholar-Athlete of the Year Christine Peng-Peng Lee earned first-team acclaim on uneven bars and balance beam.

Two other Bruins earned first-team honors, with senior Napualani Hall honored on vault and freshman Grace Glenn honored on balance beam. Sophomore Felicia Hano earned second-team honors on both vault and floor exercise, and Bruin freshmen Nia Dennis and Pauline Tratz each earned second-team honors on uneven bars and floor exercise, respectively.

The all-conference first team consists of the top four all-around competitors, plus the top four competitors in each individual event, including ties, as determined by regional qualifying scores (RQS) after the Pac-12 Championships. The all-conference second team consists of the fifth through eighth place all-around competitors, plus the fifth through eighth place competitors in each individual event, including ties.
