  • WALLER Head Coach 1St Season, 18Th Overall UCLA ‘91
    COACHING STAFF CHRIS WALLER Head Coach 1st Season, 18th Overall UCLA ‘91 Longtime UCLA Associate Head Coach Chris Waller was named the new head coach of the UCLA Gymnastics team on May 8, 2019, succeeding retiring head coach Valorie Kondos Field. Waller has spent the last 17 years on the UCLA Gymnastics coaching staff and has helped guide UCLA to four NCAA Championships (2003, 2004, 2010, 2018). In his ! rst season on staff in 2003, the Bruins swept through the postseason, winning Pac-10, NCAA Regional and NCAA Championships. Also that year, he was the acting head coach when UCLA snapped the longest home-court winning streak in NCAA history for any sport, handing Utah its ! rst home loss in 23 years. In 2004, he helped coach the Bruins to a repeat championship, winning in record-setting fashion. Waller was voted by his peers the National Assistant Coach of the Year in 2004 and the West Region Assistant Coach of the Year in 2010 and 2018. Along with his collegiate coaching success, Waller has had tremendous suc- cess as a club coach, coaching UCLA alumna Mohini Bhardwaj to a spot on the U.S. Olympic team in 2004. Bhardwaj was team captain of the squad that won a silver medal, competing in the all-around during prelims and on three of four events in the team ! nal. She also quali! ed for the " oor exercise ! nals, placing sixth. Additionally, Waller coached two other Bruins to elite success, helping guide Vanessa Zamarripa to a U.S. National Team spot in 2010 after her junior season at UCLA, and coaching current freshman Margzetta Frazier as she competed under UCLA at the 2018 U.S.
