The UCLA gymnastics team cruised to a first-place finish at the NCAA regional final.
As the UCLA gymnastics team cruised to a first-place finish at the NCAA regional final, it was obvious to coach Valorie Kondos Field what allowed her team to reach this point.
The Bruins had shaky moments Saturday, starting with junior Grace Glenn’s uncharacteristic fall leading off on beam. But the early adversity was good for the team, Kondos Field recalled Ohashi saying. The Bruins learned they could trust one another to deliver when the moment demanded it. Each member of the team is strong, Ohashi said, but also different. They had to learn to find unity in their uniqueness. It took meetings, team challenges and time outside the gym to build that trust, Kondos Field said. They bonded through obstacles and long conversations.
