LOS ANGELES - The No. 5 UCLA Bruins (8-4-2) posted the sixth-highest team total in school history in a 198.275-195.550 Senior Day victory over Iowa State in Pauley Pavilion presented by Wescom on Saturday afternoon. Sophomore Jordan Chiles recorded the highest all-around score in the nation and UCLA's second-highest score of all-time with a career-high 39.900. Chiles scored her second consecutive perfect 10 on uneven bars and added a pair of 9.975s on vault and floor exercise.
Additionally, by virtue of Oregon State's victory over Utah this afternoon, UCLA won a share of the Pac-12 regular season title, tying for first in the conference standings with the Beavers, Utes and California. This is UCLA's first regular season title since the conference started awarding them in 2020.
The Bruins compiled a total of 11 individual career-highs, including personal bests from all three all-arounders – Chiles (39.900), Selena Harris (39.750) and Emily Lee (39.500). UCLA also set a new season-high on vault with a 49.475 and tied its season-best on balance beam with a 49.625.

After senior Margzetta Frazier and freshman Maddie Anyimi led off with scores of 9.750 and 9.775, Lee put up a 9.850, followed by a 9.900 from junior Chae Campbell. Harris then stuck her Yurchenko 1.5 vault for a career-high 9.975, and Chiles drilled her Yurchenko double full for another near-perfect 9.975. The Cyclones remained within four-tenths of the Bruins thanks to five 9.800 scores on bars, led by Madelyn Langkamp's 9.875.
In the third rotation, UCLA used three 9.950s to tie their season-best score on the balance beam with a 49.625. Lee led off the rotation with another career-high, scoring 9.950.
