The UCLA Bruins have nominated gymnast Madison Kocian for the NCAA Woman of the Year Award. Established in 1991, the award recognizes graduating female student-athletes who have exhausted eligibility but distinguished themselves both in academics and athletics as well as service and leadership in their collegiate careers.
It shouldn’t come as a surprise that Kocian is UCLA’s honoree as she took home the Pac-12 Gymnastics Scholar-Athlete of the Year, UCLA’s Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year as well as the Pac-12’s Tom Hansen Medal.
Her impressive routines were only tied with her impressive record in the classroom as well.
