UCLA gymnastics leaning ‘on everyone’ to replace vaunted senior class
Norah Flatley has been among the gymnasts who have taken up leadership roles for UCLA this season.Yates Gym doesn’t seem the same without them. Last year’s senior class boosted UCLA gymnastics to new heights. The Bruins had Olympians, All-Americans and key performers for the 2018 NCAA champions, but their careers ended unceremoniously in March.
Now the Bruins look for leaders to step into their places.
From Nia Dennis, a senior who does her best leading in one-on-one settings, to Chae Campbell, a freshman whose voice resonates despite her youth, the Bruins will count on everyone to replace an influential senior class that included five All-Americans.
