UCLA Scores Nation s Highest Team Total UCLA made a strong statement on Saturday, recording a national-best team score of 198.125 in a nearly four-point victory over Stanford. The score was UCLA s highest since also recording 198.125 en route to winning the 2004 NCAA Super Six Team FInals. The Bruins hit 24-for-24, with 10 scores of 9.9 or higher, including two perfect 10s and two 9.975s, and just three scores under 9.8. Eleven career-high marks were achieved by nine Bruins - Angi Cipra (vault), Madison Preston (vault), Gracie Kramer (vault), Sonya Meraz (bars), Stella Savvidou (bars and floor), Madison Kocian (bars and floor), Peng-Peng Lee (bars), Katelyn Ohashi (beam), and Napualani Hall (floor). 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, 2004. 10.0 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 9.925 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 2014. Ross nearly scored another perfect 10 the following week at Arizona State, receiving a 9.975 on beam, and she earned a 9.975 on bars last week against Stanford. She has also scored 9.925 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 Hits First 10.0-Start Value Vault During Saturday s win over Stanford, freshman Gracie Kramer became the first Bruin to hit a 10.0-start value vault - a Yurchenko 1.5. Kramer scored a career-best 9.925 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. In the Rankings UCLA moved up one spot in the national rankings to No. 4 with a season average of 197.025. The Bruins remain second on bars and sixth on beam and moved up to fourth on vault and 13th on floor.

The Utes, who have a season average of 196.879 and a high of 197.625, are led by freshman and Olympic alternate MyKayla Skinner, who has 23 out of 30 individual victories this season. Skinner swept the Pac-12 Gymnast and Freshman of the Week awards in the first three weeks of the season. UCLA s all-time record against Utah in the regular season is 10-28. The Bruins won last season s matchup in Pauley Pavilion, 197.100-197.075, thanks to Sadiqua Bynum s meet-clinching 9.95 on floor exercise, and also won the matchup at the Pac-12 Championships, which the Bruins won while Utah tied for second. UCLA s last win in the Huntsman Center came at the 2012 Pac-12 Championships. The Bruins last dual meet win at Utah came in 2003, when UCLA s 197.225-196.750 victory snapped Utah s 23-year, 170-dual meet win streak.

She hit all 19 of her routines last year, including all 14 as the leadoff on beam Four Bruin returners competed in all 14 meets last season - Mikaela Gerber, JaNay Honest, Sonya Meraz and Madison Preston. Meraz has competed in 29-straight meets, and Gerber has competed in 24-straight Madison Kocian is the only Bruin to compete on every event in every meet this year for a total of 20-straight routines. Kocian, Ross Become First Olympic Gold Medalists to Compete Collegiately UCLA freshmen Madison Kocian and Kyla Ross made history in the season opener when they became the first two Olympic gold medalists ever to compete in an NCAA women s gymnastics meet. Kocian won team gold as a member of the Final Five along with uneven bars silver at the Olympics in Rio, while Ross won team gold at the 2012 Olympics in London (along with UCLA volunteer coach Jordyn Wieber) as a member of the Fierce Five. Kocian won the all-around with a 39.425 in her collegiate debut and also tied for first place on uneven bars (9.875), balance beam (9.85) and floor exercise (9.875) and fourth place on vault (9.825).

About the Bruins UCLA returns 12 athletes from last year s Pac-12 Championship squad, including All-Americans Angi Cipra and Christine Peng-Peng Lee, All-Pac-12 honoree Katelyn Ohashi, and Pac-12 uneven bars co-champion JaNay Honest. 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. UCLA is coached by Pac-12 Gymnastics Coach of the Century Valorie Kondos Field, Associate Head Coaches Chris Waller and Randy Lane, and volunteer coach and 2012 Olympic gold medalist Jordyn Wieber. Coming Back UCLA returns 11 athletes who saw competition time a year ago, as well as 15 of 24 routines (63%) competed at the NCAA Super Six, including five on vault and four on bars.

She captured her first career win on beam in the season opener.

The Bruins rank sixth nationally on beam with an average of 49.240 and have averaged 49.369 in the last four meets. Show-Stoppers UCLA s floor exercise routines are not to be missed.
