Gymnastics National Collegiate Women’S Gymnastics NATIONAL COLLEGIATE WOMEN’S Highlights Bruins Win Sixth Women’s Gymnastics Championship: At the precise moment UCLA gymnast Elyse Hopfner-Hibbs finished her floor exercise routine April 23, enthusi- astic screams of “UC-LA! UC-LA!” echoed around the seating area at the Stephen C. O’Connell Center. “I felt my teammates jumping around and going crazy before I even got up there,” Hopfner-Hibbs said. “I knew something was going on.” Like, say, a national championship? One minute later, smiling widely, Hopfner-Hibbs landed her final jump to complete a 9.95 performance. She bounced off the stage into a sea of UCLA gymnasts, and the University of Florida’s home arena turned into a cheer-fest of Bruins blue. UCLA had won its sixth NCAA Division I Women’s Gymnastic Championship, but its first since 2004. For the Bruins, a team that considers legendary basketball coach John Wooden its mentor, it was a defining moment. Remember, this was a gymnastics program that once had five Olympians and won five national titles in eight years. Its head coach, Valorie Kondos Field, says she was actually told by another coach that a “monkey” could have coached those squads. “This championship means a lot more to me than the other five did,” Kondos Field said, “because the other five came in such quick succession.” A Bruins bubble, they called it. “The whole journey, looking back on the whole thing, is so excellent,” said Anna Li, a senior who had three scores of 9.9 in four events. “We were our own Bruin bubble, and we brought the Bruin bubble to Florida.” Did they ever. UCLA, which had lost twice to Stanford during the regular season and once to 2009 national champion Georgia, arrived in Gainesville as the top seed in a 12-team field. The Bruins scored a semifinal-high 196.875 points. They scored 197.725 in the team finals. UCLA scored at least 49.325 points in every event, and needed only to compete cleanly in the floor exercise to hold off runner-up Oklahoma (197.250 points) and third- place Alabama (197.225). Alabama’s Morgan Dennis placed fourth in the all-around results with 39.550 points, placing third in the vault behind two UCLA gymnasts and fourth in two other events. Oklahoma, which hadn’t ever finished higher than ninth in the national championships and placed just third in the semifinals, was a contender in the finals. Hollie Vise scored a 9.925 in the floor exercise, and hit 9.9 in both the bars and balance beam. Host Florida finished fifth with 197.000 points, and, as it did in the semifinal session when it finished runner-up to Alabama, the Gators struggled in a pair of events, the balance beam and uneven bars. “They just seemed so uptight and caught up in the atmosphere of hosting,” Florida coach Rhonda Faehn said. “We made errors here and there, and that really hurt us.” Even so, Ashanee Dickerson, a Florida freshman from Jacksonville, Florida, had the arena rocking when she finished her floor exercise routine with three somersaults and landed perfectly. Her score of 9.95 tied the best of the night, and produced a standing ovation from a crowd of 5,386 that was dominated by fans wearing Gator orange. “Her floor was just unbelievable. She really had the crowd going,” Faehn said. “She did phenomenal. She responded from the semifinal performance.” Dickerson also hit 9.9 in the vault, 9.850 in the bars and 9.875 on the balance beam. She fell on the bars in the semifinals. Three other gymnasts also had 9.95s: UCLA’s Brittani McCullough in the vault, Stanford’s Carly Janiga in the bars and Alabama’s Ashley Priess on the balance beam. UCLA came out strongly, scoring 49.475 on the vault, its first event. With Bruin gymnasts screaming encouragement from the holding area just behind the beginning area of the runway for the vault, McCullough hit her 9.95, Vanessa Zamarripa hit 9.925 and Lit hit 9.9. Kondos Field still marvels at one attribute of her gymnasts this year; they didn’t care which event was first. “Our goal for tonight was to soak in every moment and that’s what we did,” Zamarripa said. “It feels great to know that at the end of the day, we did what we said we were going to do.” “We just had a blast the entire week,” Hopfner-Hibbs said. 2 WOMEN’S GYMNASTICS—Team Standings 2010 TEAM STANDINGS Maria Scaffidi, Nebraska, 39.250; 20.

    ANNUAL REPORT – INTRODUCTION Dear Bruins, Our department enjoyed an exciting and memorable year both on and off the field of competition in 2016- 17. Ten of our athletic teams finished among the Top 10, nationally. Of even greater significance, 126 of our student-athletes earned their degrees from this university in June and officially embarked upon the next chapter of their lives. Throughout the 2016-17 academic year, student- athletes earned Director’s Honor Roll accolades (3.0 GPA or higher) more than 980 times. In addition, our Graduation Success Rate (GSR) and Academic Progress Report (APR) numbers remained high across the board and among the best in the nation. UCLA’s overall GSR of 86% stands two percentage points higher than the national average of 84%. Our football team compiled the second-highest GSR among Pac-12 schools with 88% (the national average for FBS schools is 74%). In addition, six of our teams – men’s water polo, women’s basketball, women’s golf, softball, women’s tennis and women’s volleyball – had a GSR of 100 percent. Sixteen of our 20 sports programs had a GSR of 80 percent or higher. I’ve said it before and I’ll say As a department, we always pride ourselves on team practice facilities for our football, men’s basketball it again – our student-athletes not only meet these accomplishments, but it’s absolutely worth noting and women’s basketball teams, and I know that the expectations, but they almost always exceed them. It’s several outstanding individual efforts by our hard- coaches and student-athletes of these teams are a testament to their work ethic and to the support they working student-athletes.

    NATIONAL COLLEGIATE WOMEN’S GYMNASTICS CHAMPIONSHIPS RECORDS BOOK 2015 Championship 2 History 4 Brackets 17 2015 CHAMPIONSHIP HIGHLIGHTS Florida’s McMurtry finishes off triumphant title victory: Alex McMurtry is the youngest member of the Florida gymnastics team. Maybe the 18-year-old isn’t old enough to feel pressure. Maybe she didn’t know she should. On the final rotation Saturday night -- the uneven bars -- Florida needed a 9.95 or better to win its third consecutive NCAA gymnastics title. All McMurtry did was execute her best routine of the season, earning a career-best 9.95 to propel the Gators a final score of 197.850 and the national championship. “I didn’t necessarily know what score I had to get,” McMurtey said. “I think that would have made it even harder for me so I knew I had a job to do and I knew my teammates had my back. Going last is sometimes a good position, sometimes a bad position, and we had five girls hit routines so I knew my teammates had my back and I just had to do my job. It all worked out for me and that was one of the best routines of my career.” “It’s amazing that she came out under this heavy pressure situation as a freshman and performed as well as she did everywhere,” Florida head coach Rhonda Faehn said.“To anchor that bar lineup, to have that fight for every little thing, it’s not only amazing, it speaks volumes for what she will continue to bring to this team in the future, which is exciting.” Faehn had her back to the scoreboard and paid no attention to the other teams competing.
