UCLA’s Gymnastics flooring was his backbone this season, with his highest implementation coming to win on Saturday over Michigan State, winning a leading national floor 49,800 in total.

High School of Brooklyn Murs, who is the Canada of the 2020 Olympics, leads the nation with an average of 9,935 floor and has not decreased below 9,900 in one routine this season. It manages this sequence while brancing in vault and beam – on average 9.770 and 9.805 marks respectively.

Another veteran – Senior Emma Malabuyo – has noted three 9,900 or higher store marks in 2025, a feat that she achieved only once in 2024.

In addition, the two-time All-American of the balance has improved its signature event in its last year. Its average 9.925 season sets its fourth in the nation and almost three hundreds of a point above its average 2024. Until it has put in perfect 10 Beam from its first year in UCLA, its 9.975 season is a little close to the repetition of this achievement.

Bruins’s available efforts were headed by junior Jordan Chile and a graduate student Chae Campbell.

Campbell was an integral part of the four events this season. It is No.

However, Chile – now returned from his vacation to train for the Olympics – won the first 10 on the floor this season. The Olympic gold medalist has published two perfect results this season – the other one who comes to bars – up to 10 common perfect results in her Ucla career.

Washington
Ranking: No. 39
Power: Beam
Weakness: Bars
X-factor: Emily Ines

Although he publishes the highest team result from the season last weekend, Washington’s gymnastics lost in his meeting against Minnesota.

Beam turned out to be the strongest Husky event against GoPhers, publishing its only 49,000 or higher in common at the event. Washington won three 9,850 or higher results against Minnesota, with Taylor Ruson tied a 9.875 season. The apparatus has been the highest ranked Washington since 2022, reaching the peak of No. 15 of the same year.

Huski struggled to return to their previous form this season under the head coach of the first year Jesse Hansen Parker, which dropped out of their No.23 rank last year until 39 in 2025. Beam is the only event in which many athletes are 9,800 average Or higher, exceptional contrast in the last year, when multiple gymnasts placed 9,800 or higher average values ​​at all four events.

Part of this fight may be due to the loss of Skylar Killough-Wilhelm in the transfer portal. As a senior in 2024, she was named the first team to be American at the worst event in Washington, where she sits at No. 48 nationally.

Until now, no Huskies have reached 9,700 or higher bars. People like Mary McDonaf and Ruson showed bright spots, scoring 9.825 and 9.850 seasons respectively, but these high ceilings have not yet been replicated weekly.

Huskies have the potential for success on the floor. Emily Ines and McDonaf and the two own markings of 9,900 or higher and three other gymnasts violated the 9.800 barrier.

While Ines maintains a leading team on average 9.844, McDonau’s mismatch placed it on 9.581, the second lowest of the team, despite its ability to hit 9,900 marks.

The Vault squad in Washington includes new faces, such as Caitlin Maxiliams. But with the loss of the Killough-Wilhelm-leader of VAULT last year, the composition of the composition is still developing.
