    Undergraduate Assistant Coach
After completing one of the most successful competitive careers in NCAA history, Kyla Ross will wrap up her UCLA career as an undergraduate assistant coach.

The 2020 Honda Sport Award winner and two-time Pac-12 and Region Gymnast of the Year, Ross is the only gymnast in UCLA history to win all four individual NCAA event titles, capturing the 2017 bars and beam titles and the 2019 vault and floor crowns. She made history in 2017 by becoming the first woman ever to win NCAA, World and Olympic gold, and in 2019, she became the first gymnast in NCAA history to record two Gym Slams in one season, scoring at least two perfect 10s on all four events. With 22 career perfect 10s, Ross set NCAA records for consecutive meets with a perfect 10 (10 in 2019), most 10s in a season (14 in 2019), and most career perfect 10s on uneven bars (11).

Ross, who is majoring in molecular, cell and developmental biology, was a member of the U.S. gold medal-winning squad at the 2012 Olympics and won five World Championship medals in her career, including team gold in 2014.
