Gymnast of the Week

Congratulations to UCLA senior Chae Campbell and Michigan sophomore Fred Richard, Inside Gymnastics Gymnast of the Week for Week 11!

After injury kept her out of the floor lineup for 5 meets, Campbell stepped back into the lineup in tremendous fashion, scoring a 10.0 on senior night! She also performed a huge Yurchenko full (9.85) and stuck her bars dismount for a 9.90! Campbell’s performance helped UCLA score 198.550, UCLA’s highest team score since 2004.
