Hello friends! As much as I would love to be live blogging this event from Pauley Pavilion, I will be watching from the comfort of my couch.
I’m super excited about this meet for a few reasons. One of which is this is my first ever live blog. AH! Additionally, we get to witness Florida transfer Nya Reed’s return to college gymnastics and the start of Margzetta Frazier’s last season. We’ll also get to see star returners like Emma Malabuyo, Selena Harris, and Chae Campbell.
The Bruins are coming off a great 2023 season as they finished fifth at NCAA championships. They were also ranked fifth in the preseason poll and second in the Pac-12 preseason poll. The Bruins didn’t lose many routines from last year and add four freshmen this season.
A lot is looming over this season for UCLA as conference realignment goes into effect after the 2024 season where the Bruins will join the Big Ten. There are high hopes for the Pac-12 in its last year, as many of the schools in the conference have top 25 rankings in many of their sports. With what remains for the Pac-12 and UCLA’s legacy here, the future looks bright for the Bruins this season.
