January 21, 2023 | Gymnastics
The Bruins led from start to finish, taking a 49.350-48.750 lead after the first rotation thanks to six scores of 9.800 or higher on uneven bars. Harris and Chiles led the Bruins with a pair of 9.925s, and Margzetta Frazier added a 9.875. Kalyany Steele, competing for just the third time in the last two seasons, scored 9.825, and Chae Campbell and Emily Lee opened with scores of 9.800.
The Bruins totaled just 49.125 on vault but still extended their lead to 0.825, 98.475-97.650. Harris led the Bruin vaulters with a 9.950 after sticking her Yurchenko 1.5. Campbell also stuck her vault, a 9.95-valued Yurchenko full, and scored 9.900. Lee tied her career-high with a clean 9.850. The Huskies scored 48.900 on uneven bars. Chiles had an uncharacteristically low 9.650 after landing short on her Yurchenko double full, and Maddie Anyimi and Frazier had a few bounces on their Yurchenko fulls that dropped their scores to 9.7 and 9.725, respectively. Frazier's vault, however, gave her a big milestone of 100 consecutive routines without a fall in her collegiate career.Welcome back to the bars lineup, @KalyanySteele! She scores 9.825 after a pair of 9.8s to start from Chae Campbell and Emily Lee.

A few wobbles in the final rotation on beam put UCLA at under 49 for the first time on any event this season with a 48.950, but the Bruins showed tremendous fight to stay on the apparatus and extend their streak to three meets with no falls. Harris once again scored 9.925, her fourth 9.925+ score of the meet. Lee continued her solid showing, leading off with a 9.825 to give her three 9.8 scores on her three events, and Malabuyo hit a 9.775 to close the meet.Ladies and gentlemen, ?????? ??@ChilesJordan bounces back with a 9.950 on floor.
