Chiles, an Olympic silver medalist and three-time World medalist, picked up her third consecutive all-around title and added individual event wins on uneven bars (10.0), balance beam (9.975) and floor exercise (9.975). Bruin junior Chae Campbell also added a perfect score of her own, winning vault with a 9.950 on her 9.950-start valued Yurchenko full vault. The perfect mark was the fourth of Campbell's career.
The Bruins (7-4-2, 4-1-2 in the Pac-12) took a slight lead over Stanford after the first rotation, scoring 49.350 on vault. Campbell's perfect score of 9.950 led the way, followed by Chiles' 9.925 and freshman Selena Harris' score of 9.850. The Bruins totaled five scores of 9.800 or higher on the event. Stanford recorded a 49.300 on uneven bars, led by Chloe Widner's 9.950 and Brenna Neault's 9.900.
UCLA pulled away in the second rotation, however, recording the second-highest bars score in the nation this year, a 49.725. The score was UCLA's highest on bars since also totaling 49.725 on 2017. The Bruins hit five consecutive 9.9+ routines, beginning with Kalyany Steele's season-best 9.900, followed by Ana Padruariu's career-high 9.950. Harris matched Padurariu's mark with a 9.950 of her own, and Margzetta Frazier added a 9.925. Chiles, competing in the anchor spot for the first time this season, earned her first perfect 10 score on bars this season and the second of her career, hitting all four of her release moves and sticking her full-twisting double back dismount. The Bruins' team score extended their .050 lead to 0.65 after the Cardinal totaled 49.125 on vault.CHAE CAMPBELL IS PERFECT! 9.950 for her Yurchenko full!
