February 25, 2020 | Gymnastics
UCLA seniors Kyla Ross and Grace Glenn have once again been honored by the Pac-12 Conference, with Ross receiving her fourth Gymnast of the Week award, and Glenn receiving her second Specialist of the Week honor.
Ross, who was the Pac-12 Specialist of the Week last week, recorded a season-high 39.825 against Utah to remaining unbeaten in the all-around this season with seven victories. Ross earned a season-high 9.95 on vault, tied her season-bests on balance beam and floor exercise with 9.975s and tied for second on uneven bars with a 9.925. Her victories in the all-around and on vault and floor exercise give her 28 out of 37 individual wins this season. She is one of just two gymnasts in the nation to rank in the Top 10 in the all-around and on all four events, checking in at No. 1 in the all-around and uneven bars, No. 2 on beam, No. 4 on floor and No. 10 on vault. Ross now has 14 career Pac-12 Gymnast of the Week awards, including a conference-best four this season.

Glenn made NCAA history on Sunday by becoming the first leadoff performer ever to score a perfect 10 on the balance beam. She had been flirting with the perfect 10 all season, recording two 9.975 scores in January. This time she got 10s from both judges, earning her first career perfect mark and her third beam title of the year. Glenn's score paved the way for UCLA to score a season-high 49.525 on beam and a season-high team total of 198.025. The reigning Pac-12 beam champion ranks No. 6 in the nation on the event. Glenn is the first gymnast this season to earn multiple Specialist of the Week awards, having previously won the award on Jan. 29.
