Perfect Pair Madison Kocian and Christine Peng-Peng Lee made history when they became the first UCLA duo to score perfect 10s on uneven bars in the same meet. The perfect 10s were the first of their careers, and the second and third by a Bruin gymnast on bars this season. Kyla Ross scored the first 10.0 on Jan. 28. Kocian and Lee are the first Bruins to score perfect 10s on the same event in the same meet since Kristen Maloney and Jeanette Antolin scored a pair of perfect 10s on vault at the NCAA Regionals on Apr. 3, Three Bruins have joined the 10.0 club this season, as Kyla Ross (Jan. 28), Madison Kocian (Feb. 11) and Christine Peng-Peng Lee (Feb. 11) have all scored perfect 10s on the uneven bars in the last three weeks. Twenty-eight different UCLA gymnasts have scored a total of 107 perfect 10s, with 12 Bruins totaling 23 perfect 10s on uneven bars. Ross, Kocian and Lee are the first Bruin trio to score perfect 10s on the same event in one year since 2004 when Kate Richardson, Jeanette Antolin and Kristen Maloney all scored perfect 10s on vault. Preston is Perfect on 9.95 Vault Sophomore Madison Preston was the third Bruin to receive a perfect score on one of her routines against Stanford, scoring 9.95 on her 9.95-start value vault. Preston stuck a perfect Yurchenko layout full to score a career-high. She is averaging on her two vaults this season and ranks fourth in the nation on the event. Perfect Scores Abound for Ross Freshman Kyla Ross, a member of the gold medalwinning 2012 U.S. Olympic team and a five-time World medalist, has performed five routines in her last three meets that have earned at least one perfect score. Ross earned the nation s first perfect 10 of the season on uneven bars at the Bruins Jan. 28 meet at Oregon State. Her perfect 10 was the first by a Bruin since Danusia Francis scored a 10 on beam on Mar. 6, and UCLA s first perfect 10 on bars since Samantha Peszek in Ross nearly scored another perfect 10 the following week at Arizona State, receiving a on beam, and she earned a on bars last week against Stanford. She has also scored on her 9.95 start-valued vault in two of the last three meets, receiving the maximum 9.95 score from one of the two judges. Kocian, Lee Win Pac-12 Weekly Awards For the third consecutive week, a Bruin has won two of the three Pac-12 Weekly Awards. Madison Kocian earned her second consecutive Freshman of the Week honors, and Christine Peng-Peng Lee recieved her second Specialist of the Week award of the season. Both Bruins scored perfect 10s on uneven bars this past weekend. Kocian last week was the Pac-12 Gymnast and Freshman of the Week, and the week prior to that, Kyla Ross earned Specialist and Freshman of the Week honors. Kocian was also voted the UCLA/MuscleMilk Student-Athlete of the Week, beating out men s basketball s Lonzo Ball, softball s Delaney Spaulding and men s volleyball s JT Hatch in a Twitter vote by fans.

Kramer scored a career-best on the vault to place second. Kramer has vaulted in every meet this season but had been throwing the 9.95-start value Yurchenko full in the four previous meets, with a high mark of 9.8.

The Bruins had to replace three All-American seniors in Sadiqua Bynum, All-American Sophina DeJesus and NCAA beam champion Danusia Francis, but freshman Olympic gold medalists Madison Kocian and Kyla Ross have filled those roles extremely well, competing in the all-around in the Bruins last meet.
