New: With its best floor rotation of the season, UCLAgymnastics made the NCAA championships for the first time since 2019 by finishing second in the regional final.
With their best floor rotation of the season, the Bruins advanced to the NCAA championships for the first time since 2019 by finishing second in Saturday’s NCAA regional final at Pauley Pavilion.
Utah finished first with a score of 198 points, while the Bruins charged back from a two-tenth deficit at the halfway point of the meet to edge out Missouri for second place. UCLA totaled 197.925 points, while the Tigers, who kept the Bruins out of nationals by 0.025 points last season, had a score of 197.6. Washington, the only unranked team in the nation to make a regional final this season, finished with 195.65 points.
Though the No. 4 Bruins entered the regional final with the top qualifying score from the semifinals, they got off to a slow start on the bars and beam. They mustered just one score better than a 9.9 on the beam, a 9.925 from freshman Selena Harris, and had their worst beam rotation since Jan. 29 with a 49.325 total. UCLA fell into third place.
