My name is Isabelle Friedman, and I'm the editor in chief of the Daily Bruin, UCLA's independent student newspaper. It seems like I've only just now had a chance to sit and truly reflect on the events of the past week.

Despite not knowing when or if they'll be back, Chiles and Frazier say @uclagymnastics is going to be just fine without them. "Everything I’ve learned from anybody I’ve trained with at UCLA is ingrained in me. You just have to keep that momentum going.” dailybruin.com/2023/04/16/th…

You may have noticed Marz talking to an upset Selena Harris after the meet. "I was giving her freshman tough love," said Marz. "I know you're upset that we didn't qualify, but you have seniors on your team that won't ever do gymnastics again, and they need a hug right now."

NEW: @uclagymnastics will take the floor at Dickies Arena on Thursday for a chance to compete for its first NCAA title in five years. Coach Janelle McDonald may still be a rookie in Westwood, but has made the trip to Fort Worth before. Take a read :) dailybruin.com/2023/04/11/uc… – at Los Angeles, CA

.@uclagymnastics had missed the NCAA championships twice in a row, the preseason poll had the Bruins outside the top eight, and they looked to be a longshot again Saturday – but UCLA is nationals bound for the first time since 2019. dailybruin.com/2023/04/02/ba…

To everyone that said I should have gotten PAC-12 Gymnast of the Year, I thank you but no one can control what happens. I am beyond proud of @jadeacarey because she deserves this award, and I would like to say continue to shine big and always be great🫶🏽

NEW: @uclagymnastics finshed in second place at the Pac-12 Championships, but coach Janelle McDonald couldn't be more proud of the Bruins. “I thought not everything was perfect today, but I felt like our team fought, and they showed up for one another." dailybruin.com/2023/03/18/pr…
