LEE-DOFF LOVE
Junior Emily Lee has mastered the leadoff position on beam since 2023 and has now become just as solid on vault, sticking her vaults in two of the Bruins' last three meets. At the Sprouts Collegiate Quad on Jan. 13, she scored a career-high 9.9 on her Yurchenko layout full (9.95 start value), and in the home opener against Washington on Jan. 27, she earned a 9.875. Both of those vaults led the way for UCLA to record season-high marks of 49.4. Lee has scored season-highs of 9.9 on beam twice, in the Super 16 and against Washington, which led to a team season-best of 49.5. Last season, Lee scored a career-high 9.95 in the beam leadoff spot on Mar. 11 and had eight total scores of 9.9 or higher.
CAMPBELL FULLY PERFECT
One of the best vaulters in the nation is senior Chae Campbell who ranks No. 5 in the nation even with the start value of her Yurchenko full vault half a tenth lower than everyone else in the Top 10. Last season, she was the only first-team All-American who competed a 9.95 start-value vault, and she placed fifth overall at the NCAA Championships with a score of 9.9.

SELENA SLAYS
Selena Harris continues to impress in her second season, averaging 39.575 in the all-around, with a season-high of 39.650.

In the national rankings, she is No. 9 in the all-around, No. 10 on bars, No. 13 on vault and No. 24 on floor.
CLUTCH KATELYN
Freshman Katelyn Rosen has proven to be a clutch performer for the Bruins in her young career. Four times this season, she has immediately followed a low-scoring routine and hit a strong routine, including twice in Saturday's home opener, when she scored 9.9 on vault and 9.875 on bars after falls. Rosen is averaging 9.825 or higher on vault (9.867), bars (9.844) and beam (9.825). She made her all-around debut on Saturday and scored 39.250.
NEW FACES
UCLA welcomes a graduate transfer and four freshmen onto the squad in 2024. Nya Reed brings four years of experience at the University of Florida, where she was a six-time All-American with career-high scores of 9.975 on vault and 10.0 on floor. The freshman class is a mix of national team members in Sydney Barros and Katelyn Rosen and Level 10 standouts in Paige Anastasi and Alex Irvine. Barros is a three-time U.S. national team member and current Puerto Rican all-around champion. Rosen was a member of the 2020 U.S. National Team and the 2022 U.S. Classic floor champion. Anastasi is a four-time Level 10 nationals competitor and the 2023 Region 6 all-around, vault and bars champion. Irvine won a bronze medal on vault at the 2022 Level 10 nationals.
Reed, Rosen and Anastasi have competed in all four of UCLA's meets this season. Reed is averaging 9.913 on floor exercise to rank No. 18 nationally, and 9.8 on vault. Rosen averages 9.825 or higher on vault, bars and beam and has highs of 9.9 on vault and bars and 9.85 on beam. Anastasi has a high of 9.825 on vault and last week debuted a Yurchenko 1.5. Irvine made her debut in Denver with an exhibition uneven bars routine that scored 9.7 and earned a spot in the competitive lineup against Washington.
BACK FOR MORE
The Bruins returned the services of three 2023 seniors - Emma Andres, Margzetta Frazier and Chloe Lashbrooke - for their extra year of Covid-19 eligibility. Andres competed in three meets as a freshman in 2020 and in every meet in 2021 before an injury derailed her 2022 season. She came back in 2023 to perform a total of three exhibition routines, scoring highs of 9.850 on beam and 9.700 on floor in the regular season finale. She has earned a spot in the beam lineup the last three meets and recorded a memorable 9.9 in her competitive debut at the Collegiate Quad. Four-time All-American and 2021 Pac-12 bars champion Margzetta Frazier is back in her sixth year with the program after redshirting in 2022 with a foot fracture. She went 133 routines in her career before her first-ever fall. Frazier's streak lasted from Jan. 4, 2019 to Jan. 21, 2024. Last year, Frazier finished fourth overall on floor at the NCAA Championships with a career-best 9.9500. After missing all of the 2021 season and most of 2022 with an Achilles injury, Lashbrooke came back in 2023 to compete on floor in three meets and exhibition in two others, posting a high of 9.875 against Iowa State. She holds a career average of 9.839 on the event.
OLYMPIC YEAR DEFERRALS
The Bruins will be without the services of Jordan Chiles and Ana Padurariu in 2024 as they pursue their Olympic dreams. Chiles is training for her second Olympic spot after winning team silver at the 2020 Olympics and team gold and vault and floor silver at the 2022 World Championships. She also recently won team gold, vault silver and all-around bronze at the Pan American Games. The nine-time All-American had a banner 2023 season, winning the NCAA and Pac-12 bars and floor titles and scoring five perfect 10s (three on bars, two on floor). She was also named the WCGA West Region Gymnast of the Year and College Gym News Sportswoman of the Year. Padurariu is training in hopes of qualifying for her first Olympic berth with Team Canada. A member of Canada's national team from 2015-20 and a World silver medalist on beam in 2018, Padurariu was on the 2020 Olympic path before an ankle injury changed her course. After a successful 2023 collegiate campaign, during which she scored career-highs of 9.95 on bars and beam, Padurariu returned to the elite scene, demoing at the 2023 Canadian National Championships in May and participating in national team training camps in Canada. Emma Malabuyo will also be pursuing an Olympic berth under the Philippines flag but is remaining on the team and competing with the Bruins between qualifying competitions.
MALABUYO MAKES HISTORY FOR PHILIPPINES
Junior Emma Malabuyo made history for the Philippines this past summer at the Asian Championships, recording the highest-ever placement by a Filipina gymnast with her silver medal-winning performance on floor exercise. Malabuyo scored 13.166 in the event finals, just 0.067 off first place. She also competed in the balance beam final, placing fifth overall with a score of 12.166. The Asian Championships were Malabuyo's first elite competition since the 2021 U.S. Olympic Trials, after which she was selected as an alternate for the Olympic Games.

Malabuyo plans to compete on the World Cup circuit in hopes of qualifying for the Olympics. Her first scheduled meet is at the Cairo World Cup Feb. 15-18.
INTERNATIONAL FLAVOR
The Bruin roster is filled with gymnasts who have represented their countries in international competition. Emma Malabuyo now represents the Philippines but was a U.S. national team member for five years and an alternate for the U.S. at the 2020 Olympics. Brooklyn Moors competed at the 2020 Olympics for Canada and was an all-around and floor finalist at three World Championships. Frida Esparza competed for Mexico at the 2018 and 2019 World Championships. Sydney Barros qualified for the 2023 World Championships for Puerto Rico and was previously a three-time U.S. National Team member. Other U.S. National Team competitors were Ciena Alipio, Margzetta Frazier, Emily Lee and Katelyn Rosen.

She has been featured on ESPN, BET, Essence and more.
