IN THE RANKINGS ย
UCLA maintained its No. 5 national ranking for the third consecutive week. The Bruins are ranked in the Top 10 on all four events and in the Top 5 on three, ranking No. 1 on floor exercise, No. 5 on uneven bars and balance beam and No. 9 on vault. Jordan Chiles ranks in the Top 15 on all four events and the all-around, ranking second in the all-around and on bars, third on vault and floor and 14th on beam. Selena Harris is sixth in the all-around and Top 20 on vault (18th), bars (11th) and beam (ninth). Chae Campbell ranks No. 8 on both vault and floor.ย
LAST TIME OUTย
No. 5 UCLA joined the 198 club for the first time in 2023, posting a season-best 198.175 in a comfortable 198.175-196.825 win over Stanford. Jordan Chiles scored a perfect 10 on bars and recorded a career-high of 39.875 in the all-around. Led by Chae Campbell's perfect 9.95 vault, the Bruins took a slight lead over Stanford after the first rotation, 49.350-49.300. UCLA pulled away in the next rotation, however, with a 49.725 on uneven bars, the third-highest bars score in school history. Chiles' perfect 10 was the last of five consecutive scores of 9.9 or higher in the rotation. After scoring 49.425 on beam, the Bruins had five scores of 9.9 or higher and tied their season-best on floor with a 49.675. ย ย ย
CONSISTENCY QUEENS ย
Through nine meets this season, UCLA has hit 214 of 216 routines without a fall. Both of those falls came in one meet, on beam Jan. 29, which means that the Bruins have had 35 of 36 clean rotations this season, scoring 49.0 or higher 34 times. UCLA has scored 49+ in every meet on vault, bars and floor and has not gone under 49 on beam since scoring 48.8 on Jan. 29. The Bruins have scored 49+ in 19 consecutive meets on vault, 18 on floor and 15 on bars.ย
CHILES CONTINUES SUCCESS ย
After spending the summer and fall winning multiple medals in national and international competition, 2020 Olympic silver medalist Jordan Chiles has seen continued success in NCAA competition, ranking second nationally in the all-around and on uneven bars and third on vault and floor exercise, and winning four Pac-12 Gymnast of the Week awards. Chiles has been on an absolute tear the last six meets, averaging 39.783 in the all-around and recording scores of 9.9 or higher on 22 out of 24 routines, 17 of those going 9.95 or higher. She has three 39.8 scores in the last four weeks, including a career-high 39.875 that ranks as the No. 3 score in school history. Chiles scored her first perfect 10 of the year on Feb. 11 with her third career 10 on floor exercise and earned her first 10 of the year on uneven bars last week to bring her career 10.0 total to five. She has also posted nine scores of 9.975 this season and a team-high 20 scores of 9.950 or greater. She leads the team with 26 individual event victories. ย ย ย
Chiles competed at her first-ever World Championships in the fall and helped lead the U.S. to the team gold medal with a strong all-around performance before adding two silver medals in the individual event finals, on vault and floor exercise. The Bruin sophomore also won the floor exercise title and finished second on vault at the Paris World Challenge Cup in the summer and was a three-time bronze medalist (all-around, uneven bars and floor exercise) at the 2022 U.S. Gymnastics Championships. ย ย
CAMPBELL REACHES PERFECTION ย ย
For the fourth time in her career and first time this season, junior Chae Campbell recorded a perfect score on her Yurchenko full vault. With a start value of 9.95, Campbell scored the maximum 9.95 with a stuck vault in the Bruins' dual meet against Stanford on Mar. 5 to earn her first vault victory of the season. She is averaging a team-best 9.906 on vault this year and has scored 9.9 or higher in six of eight meets. She ranks No. 8 in the nation, the highest of any gymnast performing a 9.95-start valued vault. ย
PADURARIU CONTINUES TO PAD STATS ย ย
Sophomore Ana Padurariu is having a stellar season and has scored at least one 9.9 in each of her last five meets, including back-to-back meets with career-high scores of 9.95. She has tied or set career-bests in each of those meets, beginning with a career-high-tying 9.9 on bars at Utah. She matched that score a week later against Arizona State, and then tied her career-best on beam at Cal the following week, scoring 9.9. At Arizona on Feb. 26, she hit career-highs on both events, scoring 9.9 on bars and 9.95 on beam. Last week against Stanford, she recorded her second consecutive 9.95 score, earning a new career-high on bars.

Another Bruin also hit the 100 mark for consecutive hit routines this season. Junior Chae Campbell's 9.925 vault and 9.825 uneven bars against Oregon State on Jan. 29 gave her 99 and 100 straight hits without a fall. Her streak ended there, however, after a fall on beam, just her second fall in 28 meets. She has hit 113 of 114 routines in her career. ย ย ย
FRESHMAN HARRIS COMPETING LIKE A VETERAN ย
