The Big Storyline: The Bruins led after the first rotation and closed their meet with a giant season high of 49.575 on beam, but it wasn’t enough to match the Utes, who set season bests on every event but vault to break 198 for the first time this season. Jordan Chiles stepped up—even more than she normally does—in the absence of Chae Campbell, who was out with a family emergency. However, it wasn’t enough, as Maile O’Keefe and Grace McCallum rallied Utah for the largest margin of victory in their now four-meet win streak in the series.
Implications: The Utes remain undefeated in Pac-12 conference action while the Bruins now have one win, one loss, and one tie. Utah will stay steady at fourth in the national rankings while UCLA will fall slightly.
Records: With a 49.775 on beam, Utah set a variety of marks. It’s the country’s top beam total of 2023, ties the Utes’ program record on beam, and matches their third-best total on any event behind 49.800, which it scored on both bars and floor.
