"We are excited to officially add Jolyn to our Bruin family. It is always so special when LA's best athletes become Bruins and stay close to home," said McDonald. "Jolyn has a positive outlook and a warm personality that she brings into each day. Her gymnastics is beautiful to watch with artistic details and a strong skill set. I'm so excited for Jolyn to join us in Westwood this fall!"
