Chiles, Sullivan Earn Big Ten Weekly Awards
February 10, 2026 | Gymnastics
The Bruin duo helped UCLA remain unbeaten in Big Ten play after a 197.550-197.275 win at Minnesota. The score was UCLA's second-highest of the year and highest away score.
With her sixth award in 2026, Chiles runs her career total of conference Gymnast of the Week awards to a UCLA record 17, including 12 in the Big Ten. She is one shy of the single-season school record of seven set by Kyla Ross in 2019 and the Big Ten single-season record set by Sierra Brooks of Michigan in 2024. Chiles won the all-around for the fourth consecutive week and fifth time overall this season, scoring 39.625. She recorded a perfect 10 for the fourth-straight week and third-straight time on floor exercise, bringing back her Prince routine from 2025 to Minneapolis, the home of the music icon. The perfect 10 was her 15th career 10, moving her into sole possession of third place on UCLA's all-time Perfect 10 list. She also placed second on uneven bars with a 9.900 and third on vault with a 9.875. Chiles has accumulated 22 victories in six meets this year and remains ranked No. 1 in the nation in the all-around, as she has been all season. She also ranks No. 2 on vault, bars and floor and No. 8 on beam.
Sullivan won the uneven bars and earned Top 3 finishes on three events at Minnesota. She scored a career-high 9.925 on uneven bars to take home her second bars victory of the year and finished in second place on floor exercise with a career-high-tying 9.950, her second-straight 9.950 on the event. She also tied for third on vault with a 9.875. Sullivan ranks in the Top 10 in the conference on vault (8th, 9.838 average) and uneven bars (10th, 9.863) and is 11th on floor exercise (9.858). She is the highest-ranked freshman in the conference on uneven bars.
