UCLA won its seventh NCAA Gymnastics Championship on Saturday with a dramatic come-from-behind finish. After trailing throughout the entire competition, the Bruins stormed back in the final two rotations and won the title after scoring a NCAA Championship record 49.750 on the balance beam. Needing a 9.975 on beam on their final routine, sixth-year senior Christine Peng-Peng Lee came through with a clutch performance for the ages, scoring a perfect 10, her second of the night.
