Overview
- UCLA’s run ended Thursday in Fort Worth with a 197.275 and a third-place finish in a semifinal that advanced only two teams to the final.
- A fall on her opening uneven-bars handstand gave Jordan Chiles a 9.3625, her season low, and put the Bruins behind after the first rotation.
- Chiles steadied her meet with a 9.95 on beam and a 9.975 on floor to claim the NCAA floor title, the fourth individual crown of her college career.
- Late vault errors in the final rotation, including a 9.2125 after a stumble by Katelyn Rosen and a 9.5875 for Mika Webster-Longin, ended UCLA’s bid to advance.
- No. 13 Minnesota overtook UCLA to reach its first NCAA final alongside No. 1 Oklahoma, with LSU and Florida having qualified from the earlier session.
- Chiles received the 2026 AAI Award as the nation’s top senior gymnast and has left open the possibility of pursuing the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
