Some say the third time’s the charm.

But for Jordan Chiles, it’s simply the standard.

The senior was perfect yet again Friday night, notching a 10.000 on floor to anchor a nation-leading 49.700 total. 

Powered by season-high marks on floor, vault and bars, No. 5 UCLA Gymnastics notched a 198.150, defeating Washington’s 195.825 at Pauley Pavilion on Friday. This is Chiles’ third week of reaching perfection, after notching a perfect ten on floor and vault, respectively, the last two weeks.

“I think I’m understanding my body. I am getting older.” Chiles said. “It’s allowing myself to realize that gymnastics isn’t something that I have to truly focus on. It’s more about the presence and the perfectionism that I have to bring – I figured that out finally my senior year.”

Leading up to Chiles’ perfect 10, every Bruin had a night to remember on floor. Each athlete snagged not only above a 9.900 but also each set new career-highs, carrying the team into the nation-leading floor score.

Senior Ciena Alipio led the event, sticking both of her passes cold and snagging a career-high 9.900. Freshman Ashlee Sullivan set a career high of 9.950, and a smooth routine led freshman Tiana Sumanasekera set her career high of 9.925. 

“It’s going back to that trust – we know we have the skills.” Alipio said. “Even when the days are hard. … We’re tired, but we want this. We want this so bad, and it’s just constant dedication over and over and over, every single day in the gym. Honestly, it’s just a testament to all the hard work that we’ve been doing.”

Both Sumanasekera and Chiles competed in the all-around Friday, with Sumanasekera nabbing a career-high 39.425. Chiles took the all-around crown – while sweeping every event in the process and matching her nation-leading 39.875. 

Senior Katelyn Rosen did not compete in the all-around for the first time this season, leaving bars out of the rotation.

The Bruins notched a season-high 49.550 on bars, with all six gymnasts in the lineup sticking their landings cold. 

Alipio set a new career-high in her second-ever bars routine, notching a 9.950 in the lead-off position. Junior Sydney Barros followed up with a 9.925, marking a career high of her own.

“I’m just proud of how much I’ve worked and the amount of work that it’s taken for me to get here,” Barros said. “It’s not my luck. It’s been every single day in the gym from preseason to now, just being in the gym, being super gritty and super hard on myself, but also giving myself grace.”

After battling the flu last week, freshman Nola Matthews returned to Pauley to face the bars and scored a 9.800. Chiles anchored the rotation, snatching a 9.975. This was a season high that included a perfect score from one judge.

The Bruins collected yet another season-high mark on vault to start the evening, logging a 49.425. Senior Madisyn Anyimi returned to the lineup after exhibitioning last week, sticking the landing and notching a career-high of 9.900, after previously standing at a 9.825. 

Rosen and sophomore Riley Jenkins logged a pair of 9.850s on their Yurchenko 1.5 vaults. Sullivan, however, took a large step and bent forward upon landing to nab a 9.725 – a career low for the freshman.

Anchoring the event, Chiles notched a 9.950 on her Yurchenko double full, only sustaining a small step forward.

The Bruins flirted with perfection on beam, barely missing the mark. After a pair of otherwise clean and controlled beam routines, Chiles and Alipio earned twin 9.950s. Chiles has notched four scores of 9.950 or above on the apparatus, while Alipio has yet to drop below 9.925. 

Earlier in the rotation, Barros made her collegiate debut on the event and landed with a slight hop on her dismount, setting a 9.850 that matched her exhibition score from last week. Freshman Jordis Eichman made her second career appearance with the Bruins and stuck her landing to score a career-high 9.875. The Bruins left the beam with a 49.475 overall.

And according to coach Janelle McDonald, Chiles reaching a perfect 10 on beam to complete the gymnastics “grand slam” isn’t much more than a waiting game.

“I think it’s coming. Today, she (Chiles) kind of moved her foot a little bit on the on the dismount, so, you know, it’s there. And that’s what I told her after beam today.” McDonald said. “Just keep doing what you’re doing.”
