LOS ANGELES — Selena Harris scored two perfect 10s in UCLA gymnastics’ home finale Saturday afternoon, boosting the Bruins to a 198.550-196.825 win over Clemson – a season-best score and the third-best in program history.
The sophomore won the all-around with a 39.900 to tie for the second-highest all-around score for a Bruin as UCLA bounced back from a 196.625 team score in their previous meet at Arizona State.
Chae Campbell had her first competitive floor exercise performance since Jan. 27 and Margzetta Frazier made her competitive debut in the event as part of the Senior Day celebrations.
Campbell scored her first 10 in any event this season when she aced her floor routine with her Black Panther-themed performance. Frazier vogued her way to a 9.975 as the Bruins went for a season-best 49.775 in the event.
UCLA scored three straight 9.850s on vault from Katelyn Rosen, Campbell and Nya Reed before Harris came up with a 10. It was her third perfect score in the event this season after reaching 10 at Oregon State on Feb. 9 and at home against Utah on Feb. 19.
Paige Anastasi closed out vault with a career-high 9.925 on her Yurchenko 1.5 to give the Bruins a 49.475-48.700 advantage after the first rotation.
Harris recorded her second perfect score of the day and first on uneven bars this season in the next rotation as the final UCLA competitor in the event.
Campbell and Frida Esparza logged 9.90 scores and Frazier hit 9.95 to help the Bruins reach a new season-high team score on bars with a 49.625.
The Bruins achieved another season-high in an event with a 49.675 team score on balance beam. Four gymnasts scored 9.925 or above and Emma Malabuyo led the group with a 9.975.
UCLA claimed the top four spots in floor exercise in the final rotation behind Campbell and Frazier’s scores in addition to Harris and Reed each tallying 9.950.
UCLA now heads into the postseason, starting with the Pac-12 Championships on March 23 at the Maverik Center in West Valley, Utah.
