UCLA Gymnastics Breaks 198 Barrier in Win over Washington
January 30, 2026 | Gymnastics
LOS ANGELES - No. 5 UCLA made a statement Friday night, breaking 198 in January for the first time since 2003 in a 198.150-195.825 win over Washington. Jordan Chiles scored her third perfect 10 in under two weeks, and the Bruins set season-highs on vault (49.425), uneven bars (49.550) and floor exercise (49.700).
For the second consecutive week and third time this season, Chiles won the all-around and all four events. She scored 39.875 to match the national season-high that she set last week and scored her second consecutive perfect 10 on floor. She also earned a season-high 9.975 on uneven bars and hit 9.950 on vault and balance beam.
Senior Ciena Alipio and junior Sydney Barros provided major firepower on three events. Alipio scored career-highs on uneven bars (9.950) and floor exercise (9.900) and tied with Chiles for first place on balance beam with a 9.950. Barros earned a career-high 9.925 on uneven bars, tied her career-best on floor exercise with a 9.900 and hit a 9.850 on her first competitive balance beam routine.
Bruin freshmen also had standout performances. Tiana Sumanasekera scored a career-high 39.425 in the all-around, with season-bests on vault (9.875) and floor exercise (9.925). Ashlee Sullivan earned a career-best 9.950 on floor exercise to finish second, and Jordis Eichman scored a career-high 9.875 on balance beam to place third.
UCLA (7-2, 3-0 in the Big Ten) started the meet with a season-high 49.425 on vault, highlighted by Chiles' 9.950 and Madisyn Anyimi's career-high 9.900 on a stuck Yurchenko full vault. Washington (2-5, 1-2) scored a season-high of its own on uneven bars (49.325) to stand just one-tenth behind the Bruins.
A leadoff 9.950 by Alipio jump-started the Bruins season-best uneven bars rotation. Barros followed Alipio's score with a career-high 9.925, and Chiles closed with a near-perfect 9.975 to bring UCLA's score to 49.550.
Leading by 0.775 going into the third rotation, the Bruins continued to build on their lead, scoring 49.475. Katelyn Rosen and Barros started the rotation with 9.850s, followed by a 9.875 by Eichman. Chiles and Alipio ended with back-to-back 9.950s.
With a 198 in sight, the Bruins brought the magic to the Pauley floor party, scoring a national-best 49.700. Rosen led off with a season-high 9.925. Alipio followed with a career-best 9.900, and Barros tied her career-best with another 9.900. Sumanasekera had her best floor routine of the season, scoring 9.925. Sullivan followed with her best floor and a 9.950, setting the scene for Chiles, who dazzled the crowd with another perfect 10, her eighth career 10 on floor and her 14th 10 overall.
UCLA will next compete at Minnesota on Saturday, Feb. 7 at 2pm PT.
