In Reply to: UCLA Gymnastics travels to Utah Saturday to take on posted by barrya on January 08, 2026 at 02:42:50
#1 Oklahoma won the quad meet on a tie breaker over #2 LSU after they tied in the regular score. (Tiebreaker is to could the scores of all six competitors. In regulation scoring you can drop the lowest score of your six competitors on each event.)
#4 UCLA finished third half a point behind the other two - nearly half a point lower than our score last week). #5 Utah had a disastrous opening rotation on beam. Three of their six competitors fell off the beam which forced them to count two substandard scores. They finished more than a point and a half behind the two winners.
I don't hvve the final results in the individual competitions but I believe Jordan Chiles finished third in the all around. I thought her score on floor ex was low - 9.925. The routine looked perfect to me and one of the expert commentators said it could be a ten. But I think that score was the difference in the all around competition.
Oklahoma has won the NC in women's gymnastics something like 7 of the pas 11 years and is facorted again this year.
UCLA has three outstanding freshmen on our team. It makes sense that we will see improvement over the course of this season as they get acclimatized to competition at this level.
