UCLA head coach Valorie Kondos Field has positioned her Bruins as one of the premier programs in collegiate gymnastics. Not only has she consistently recruited and coached some of the top talent in the world, but she has produced the results.

The Bruins won their first NCAA championship in 1997 under Kondos Field and won again in back-to-back seasons in both 2000-2001 and 2003-2004. In 2010, UCLA won its sixth NCAA title with a 24-for-24 performance in the Super Six. UCLA has remained the Leader of the Pac under Kondos Field's tenure, winning 11 Pac-10 Conference titles, to go along with 14 NCAA Regional titles.

Kondos Field emphasizes a team concept, but her student-athletes have also found individual success, winning 24 NCAA individual titles during her years as head coach, including 21 in the last 12 years.

But even with all of her successes on the court, what gives Kondos Field most satisfaction is seeing her student-athletes succeed in all facets of their lives. Academics is a big part of that equation, and Kondos Field's teams regularly place members on the Pac-10 All-Academic teams and Scholastic All-American squads and annually contend for the school's team GPA award.

With legendary UCLA basketball coach John Wooden as her role model and cherished friend, Kondos Field's coaching philosophy stresses balance and integrity.

"Growing up in the classical dance world, I spent the majority of my youth in a very disciplined environ-ment," she said. "The reward was the self-satisfaction that came from the culmination of months of hard work in preparation for our performances and know-ing I did my best to become the best I was capable of becoming. The reward wasn't monetary or about 'winning'; instead, it was being able to have pride in a job well done."

"In a sport as subjective as gymnastics, it's important to have an honest internal voice that knows when you've done your best even if your 'score' says you didn't 'win', and conversely knowing when you can push harder even if your 'score' says you are the 'champion'," she

continued. "That inner voice, known as integrity, is vital in living life to its fullest and enjoying the journey in every aspect of life."

Kondos Field's professional journey has been a unique one. A former professional ballet dancer with the Sacramento Ballet, Capital City Ballet and Washington, D.C. Ballet, she initially got her start in gymnastics at Agilites in Carmichael, Calif. by playing the piano for floor exercise music. From there, she became a dance coach, and under the guidance of former University of Minnesota head coach Jim Stephenson, learned the fundamentals of the sport. In 1983, she was hired to be UCLA's assistant coach and choreographer. While working under head coach Jerry Tomlinson, Kondos Field helped put UCLA Gymnastics on the map with their distinctive choreography and flair. The Bruins earned NCAA runner-up finishes in 1984 and 1989 and won six NCAA individual titles from 1987-89.

Kondos Field was appointed head coach of the Bruins in 1991 and brought in Scott Bull as her co-head coach. The duo earned West Region Co-Coach of the Year honors in 1993 and in 1994. As the sole head coach in 1995, she earned Pac-10 and West Region coaching honors and guided her team to first-place finishes at the Pac-10 and Regional Championships. Just one year later, she led the Bruins to a runner-up finish at the NCAA Championships, and in 1997 she became just the fourth coach in NCAA history to win a national title.

Kondos Field's accomplishments did not go unnoticed. She was selected by her peers as the NACGC/W National Coach of the Year in 1996, 1997, 2000 and 2001. She was also named the Pac-10 Coach of the Year in 1995, 2000 and 2003. In 2010, she was inducted into the UCLA Athletics Hall of Fame.

She is recognized as one of the top beam and floor choreographers in the sport. Under her guidance, UCLA has formed a reputation of having the most unique and artistic routines in the nation. Kondos Field has choreographed 15 NCAA championship routines on beam and floor, including an unprecedented three consecutive on floor from Kim Hamilton from 1987-89. She also earned the Choreography of the Year Award at the 2004 Canadian National Championships for Kate Richardson's floor exercise routine.

Kondos Field has also come to be recognized for her recruiting ability. Since becoming head coach, she has attracted to UCLA some of the top talent in the U.S. and abroad, includ-ing Olympians Samantha Peszek, Mohini Bhardwaj, Kate Richardson, Elyse Hopfner-Hibbs, Tasha Schwikert, Kristen Maloney, Jamie Dantzscher, Yvonne Tousek, Stella Umeh and Luisa Portocarrero; and World Championships competitors Lena Degteva, Doni Thompson, Leah Homma, Jeanette Antolin, Holly Murdock, Ashley Peckett, Marci Bernholtz, Lichelle Wong and Sydney Sawa.

More impressively, however, under Kondos Field's tutelage, many of these top recruits went on to compete at the elite level both during and after their collegiate careers. In the sum-mer of 2010, Vanessa Zamarripa made the U.S. National Team with an eighth-place finish at her first U.S. Championships. In 2004, Kate Richardson became only the second female gymnast to compete at the Olympic Games as a collegiate athlete. She was joined in Athens by another Bruin, Mohini Bhardwaj, who captained the U.S. team to a team silver medal three years after her senior season at UCLA. Both Richardson and Bhardwaj qualified for the floor exercise finals, with Bhardwaj placing sixth and Richardson placing seventh with her Kondos Field-choreographed routine. In 1999, Kondos Field coached then-UCLA junior Heidi Moneymaker at her first USA Championships, and Moneymaker, Bhardwaj and Lena Degteva all represented UCLA at the 1999 World University Games.

A 1987 UCLA graduate in history, Kondos Field is also a freelance choreographer with extensive experience in the entertainment and gymnastics fields. She has helped to create, direct and choreograph Sea World's Summer Nights shows for the past 19 years, and her Riptide show won a national award for Best Overall Production: $1,000,000 - $2,000,000 or More at the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA) 2007 Big "E" Awards. In the summer of 1991, Kondos Field choreographed a summer acrobatic festival held in Lennestadt, Germany.

Kondos Field is married to UCLA Associate Athletic Director Bobby Field.

Valorie Kondos Field with John Wooden and Bobby Field

What They’re Saying …“The vibrant personality of Valorie carries over in her work with the

young ladies under her supervision. It’s no wonder that all of them are so enthusiastic about their sport.”

- John Wooden, Hall of Fame coach

“I’ve known Val since she helped me on my floor exercise routine before the ‘84 Olympics. She has since become a good friend to me and my wife,

Donna, a former Bruin gymnast. She represents UCLA with class and character both on and off the gym floor. Valorie is a great coach, but an

even better person.” - Peter Vidmar, UCLA ‘83, NCAA and Olympic champion

“There were many reasons for why I chose to come to UCLA, but the most important one was Miss Val. From the moment I met her, I knew

that she cared about me as a person and not just as an athlete. Through-out my four years of being on the UCLA Gymnastics team, Valorie

emphasized qualities such as integrity, leadership and teamwork. What she cared about most was that we graduated far better people than we were starting out. What I realized was that by becoming the best person I can be, I also became the best athlete I can be. Valorie is the reason why UCLA Gymnastics has become the number one program in the nation.”

- Lena Degteva, UCLA ‘01, NCAA champion

“Having known Valorie since the early ‘80’s, I’ve been privileged to witness the evolution and maturation of a truly remarkable coach; from an unques-tionably talented choreographer to a highly-respected and greatly admired head coach. Her ability to recruit the nation’s most talented gymnasts year

after year is not the key to her success. To the contrary, the ‘advantage’ of working with high-level talent often presents its own challenge. Elite

athletes frequently come to college with ‘baggage’ (e.g., fatigue, nag-ging/chronic injuries, negative experiences), and Valorie’s calm, nurturing,

supportive approach - along with her foremost ambition to graduate self-sufficient, self-confident young women - allows these gymnasts to adjust

to a collegiate environment and succeed anew within that arena. Valorie’s ego never enters the mix. Her focus is always on the athletes, whose suc-cess she ultimately defines not by winning but by growth as well-rounded

human beings.”- Kathy Johnson Clarke, Olympic medalist

“Coaching gymnastics is difficult, but it is extremely challenging at the col-legiate level. Young gymnasts are suddenly faced with instant freedom and stringent academic demands. Valorie has been able to take gymnasts from

diverse backgrounds and motivation levels and teach them to love the sport again. She is a passionate professional.”

- Dwight Normile, Editor, International Gymnast

“I have a lot of respect for Valorie and her program. We enjoy competing against them because it always brings together two of the best teams in

the country and is a positive experience for the athletes, the coaches and the fans.”

- Bev Plocki, University of Michigan Head Coach

“Val has been extremely successful with so many athletes over the years. I am always impressed with her calmness and the connection she has with

her team.”- Mary Lee Tracy, Former U.S. National Team Coach

“You have to give Valorie credit for the strong program that she has put together at UCLA. I feel fortunate that I was able to be a part of the team

so that I could watch and learn from Valorie. She has built the program into a model that others in the nation want to emulate.”

- Rhonda Faehn, University of Florida Head Coach and former UCLA gymnast

Coaches Biographies


Former UCLA All-American, NCAA Champion and U.S. Olympian Chris Waller is in his ninth season as an assistant coach for the UCLA women's gymnastics team and fourth as as-sistant head coach.

Waller has brought nothing but success since returning to UCLA in 2003, helping guide the Bruins to three NCAA team titles. In his first season on the Bruin staff, he helped guide the Bruins to the 2003 NCAA, Regional and Pac-10 Championships. He was also the acting head coach when UCLA snapped the longest home court winning streak in NCAA history for any sport, handing Utah its first home loss in 23 years. In 2004, he helped coach the Bruins to a repeat championship, won in record-setting fashion. He was also selected by his peers as the 2004 NACGC National Assistant Coach of the Year. In 2010, he was voted the West Region Assistant Coach of the Year.

The success did not stop for Waller after the 2004 collegiate season. He coached former Bruin great Mohini Bhardwaj as she earned not only a spot on the U.S. Olympic team but the honor of team captain as well. Bhardwaj competed in the all-around for the USA in the team prelims and on three of four events at team finals, helping the USA win the silver medal. Bhardwaj had the eighth-highest all-around score in prelims and placed sixth in the floor exercise finals.

Waller coached another Bruin to elite success in 2010, helping guide Vanessa Zamarripa to the U.S. National Team after an eighth-place all-around finish at the Visa Championships.

One of the United States’ all-time gymnastics greats, Waller was a member of the National Team from 1989-97 and captured the U.S. all-around crown in 1991 and pommel horse titles from 1991-93. He was an all-around finalist at the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona and took fifth on the pommel horse, just one-tenth of a point away from the gold medal. In addition, Waller placed in the Top 6 on the pommel horse at the 1993 World Championships and won three medals at the 1990 Goodwill Games and a team gold at the 1995 Pan American Games. He was inducted into the USA Gymnastics Hall of Fame in 2003.

At UCLA, Waller earned four All-America honors and helped the Bruins capture the NCAA title in 1987. He

Waller also served as a member of the USA Gymnastics Executive Committee and the 2000 Olympic team selection committee and chaired the Athlete’s Council.

Waller and his wife Cindy have two daughters, Alexandra and Lilia. He and Cindy founded GymJam Summer Camp in 1997 and are owners of their own gym, Waller’s GymJam Academy, in Santa Clarita.

2010 Season In Review2 position by Elyse Hopfner-Hibbs. Mizuki Sato, compet-ing in the anchor position for the first time ever, tied her career-high with a 9.85 to help the Bruins avoid counting a fall. With a strong beam set behind them, the Bruins closed with a season-high 49.475 on floor to record a final team score of 197.375, the team's highest score in five years.

With confidence soaring, the Bruins had another out-standing meet at Cal State Fullerton, mixing up their lineup and still hitting 24-for-24 and scoring 197.25 in a tri-meet victory. Vanessa Zamarripa's first perfect 10 of the season and fourth of her career on vault was one of just many team highlights in the meet. The Bruins had a total of 10 career-highs and six season-highs and scored team season-bests on vault (49.45) and beam (49.375) to record their best road mark in five years.

A loss at 2009 NCAA champion Georgia did nothing to damper the Bruins' enthusiasm and momentum, as UCLA hit 24-for-24 for the second-straight meet and scored a season-high 197.875, its highest team score since 2004. The Bruins were edged out by the smalleset of margins, .025, when the Gym Dogs' final performer scored 9.925 to clinch the win. Hopfner-Hibbs scored the first perfect 10 of her career on the balance beam to lead UCLA to a season-high 49.65 on the event.

After closing the regular season with a tri-meet win over Michigan State and Cal State Fullerton, the Bruins began their postseason with a convincing win at the Pac-10 Championships. UCLA hit 24-for-24 routines and scored 197.35, the highest mark amongst all conference championships. All but the very first routine of the day scored 9.8 or better, and Li scored the first perfect 10 of her career on uneven bars.

Li repeated her perfect 10 feat at the NCAA Regionals in Pauley Pavilion, leading the Bruins to the Regional title. UCLA once again recorded the highest mark amongst all teams that week, with its 197.825 winning score and 24-for-24 performance helping the Bruins earn the No. 1 seed at the NCAA Championships.

Going in as the favorite seemed to put a bit of extra weight on the Bruins, who competed tight during their first two events at the NCAA Preliminaries. At the halfway mark, UCLA was tied for third but used meet-best scores of 49.375 on floor and 49.4 on vault to power ahead of the field in the final two rotations, finishing with a first-place mark of 196.875.

The 2010 season marked a return to glory for the UCLA Bruins, who had a near-perfect run in postsea-son competition, hitting 95 of 96 routines over four postseason meets en route to first-place finishes at the Pac-10 Championships, NCAA Regionals, NCAA Preliminaries and finally the NCAA Super Six Team Championships.

The journey to the championship did not come as easy as it appeared in the postseason, however.

The season started off very promising with a big 196.600-195.125 win over Utah in the season opener. The Bruins hit 24-for-24 routines without a fall and earned 15 scores of 9.8 or higher and five of 9.9 or higher.

UCLA earned a 196.125-194.875 win the following week at Washington but saw its first struggles on the balance beam, counting a fall in the final rotation. Two days after a tri-meet win at Cal, the Bruins hit the loss column for the first time, losing at Stanford after counting two falls on floor.

More beam troubles ensued against Arizona State. After recording season-highs on vault and bars, the Bruins looked to be on their way to a huge score before counting a fall on beam in rotation three and scoring just 48.375. Another season-high mark on floor allowed the Bruins to post a strong mark of 196.55, just .05 off their season-best.

UCLA did pick up a season-high the next week with a 196.725-193.800 win at Arizona, but made several mistakes in its next meet against Stanford, losing for the second time to their northern rivals. Once again, the Bruins got off to a rousing start but counted a fall on beam to lose their lead and then lost four-tenths on out-of-bounds deductions on floor in a 195.975-195.625 loss.

The loss turned out to be a huge turning point for the Bruins, who used it as a catalyst for regrouping and reassessing their mindsets moving forward. The squad called a team meeting and, as head coach Valorie Kondos Field put it, "took ownership" of their team and their season. Additionally, the coaching staff implemented a new strategy on balance beam against Oregon State the following week, putting up two of the team's most consistent beam workers as the leadoff gymnasts to stabilize the lineup. The strategy worked, as the Bruins scored 49.225, its second-highest of the year. Anna Li led off with a 9.85, followed by another 9.85 in the No.

Elyse Hopfner-Hibbs

2010 NCAA Champions

There was no tightness from the Bruins at the Super Six, where UCLA took the lead in rotation one and never reliquinshed it.

The Bruins got off to a great start on vault in rotation one, scoring 49.475 on the strength of career-highs from Monique De La Torre (9.85 leadoff score) and Brittani McCullough (9.95) and a 9.925 from Zamarripa. A 49.325 on uneven bars helped to maintain UCLA's lead at the halfway mark, heading into beam, the team's earlier nemesis. The Bruins showed how far they had come from the beginning of the year, hitting all six routines for scores of 9.8 or better. Li led off with a 9.875 and even earned a 9.95 from one judge. Hopfner-Hibbs had a wobble-free routine on the beam but took a step back on the dismount, scoring 9.9. Niki Tom delivered another strong routine with a 9.8, followed by a 9.85 from Aisha Gerber and a 9.9 from Zamarripa. Sato closed the set with a 9.85, bringing the Bruins' beam score to 49.375 and their three-event total to 148.175, .275 ahead of Alabama and 49.1 points away from a sixth national title.

On floor exercise in the final rotation, Tauny Frattone led off with one of her best performances of the year, scoring 9.875. After a 9.725 from Tom, Zamarripa and Li each hit 9.9s, leaving it up to McCullough or Hopfner-Hibbs to score 9.7 or better to clinch the title. McCullough had the first attempt and clinched it with a career-high tying 9.925. Hopfner-Hibbs' 9.95 was just icing on the cake and helped bump the Bruins' final floor total to a season-high 49.55 and its team final score to 197.725, 0.475 ahead of second-place Oklahoma.

The victories kept coming at Event Finals, where Zamar-ripa won the vault title and McCullough claimed the floor crown. Zamarripa averaged 9.925 on her two vaults, scoring 9.95 on a stuck Yurchenko layout full and 9.9 on a Yurchenko half on, front layout half, the most difficult vault done in the competition. McCullough earned a 10.0 from one of the six judges on her floor routine and finished with an average score of 9.9375, just above her career-high mark of 9.925. Five Bruins - Gerber, Hopfner-Hibbs, Li, McCullough and Zamarripa - combined for 11 All-America honors.


UCLA’s National Team ChampionsAfter being voted the pre-season No. 1, UCLA watched as Geor-gia assumed the role of favorites during the regular season. But when it counted the most, the Bruins proved they were worthy of their early ranking by winning the NCAA Championship.

Before UCLA even began its competition at the Super Six Team Finals, the door had opened. As the Bruins were taking a first-rotation bye, Georgia was stumbling on beam, counting two falls to essentially take the Gym Dogs out of the running. The pressure then shifted to the Bruins, who would follow on the dreaded beam.

But the Bruins were undaunted by the pressure. Leadoff competitor Susie Erickson hit a career-high 9.85 to start the ball rolling. A fall in the third position put a scare into the Bruins, but they rallied to hit their routines - Leah Homma for a 9.8, Luisa Portocarrero for a 9.825, and Stella Umeh with a spectacular 9.925 - to take themselves safely past the most nerve-racking event in the competition with a score of 49.2.

UCLA entered its third event, vault, in third place behind Michigan and Arizona State. The Bruins improved their position with strong vaulting and moved into a tie with Michigan with one rotation remaining - UCLA on bars and Michigan on floor.

With Michigan faltering on floor, the Bruins needed a 49.25 to surpass ASU for the championship. Deborah Mink started with a 9.825. Kiralee Hayashi followed with a 9.85. Lena Degteva nailed a 9.875, and Umeh followed with a 9.925. Freshman Heidi Moneymaker needed just a 9.775 to clinch the championship and scored that and more with a 9.925. Homma’s 9.95 to close the competition punctuated the evening for the Bruins, who totaled a season-high 197.15, three-tenths better than ASU. The championship was the first ever for UCLA and the first for any school outside of Utah, Georgia or Alabama.

1997

The 1997 Bruins (clockwise, l-r) - Susie Erickson, Carmen Tausend, Lena Degteva, Heidi Moneymaker, Deborah Mink, Amy Smith, Lisa Hiley, Kiralee Hayashi, Leah Homma, Luisa Portocarrero, Stella Umeh, Andrea Fong.

It was a dream season for the 2000 UCLA Gymnastics Team. The Bruins started the season strong with school-record per-formances in the beginning of the year, and ended the season unstoppable as Pac-10, Regional and NCAA Champions.

UCLA’s national championship run began in earnest at the NCAA Regional meet. After impressive performances on floor (49.55), vault (49.5) and bars (49.4), UCLA had already reached 148+ with just beam to go and looked well on its way to another regional championship in a runaway. It wasn’t quite a runaway, as three Bruin falls on the beam made it interesting, but UCLA’s lead was so large that it didn’t matter. The Bruins placed first with a score of 197.025, .85 better than second-place Oregon State.

At the team preliminaries of the NCAA Championship, the Bruins were able to get back on their No. 1 nemesis right away, starting on the balance beam. UCLA conquered its demons, with all six gymnasts hitting their routines to give UCLA a 49.05 first-rotation score. From there, the Bruins cruised and ended up hitting 24 for 24 routines to take first place and easily qualify for the Super Six Team Finals.

UCLA received another unfavorable draw for the Super Six, starting on floor and ending on a bye after beam. But this time, the Bruins drew upon their experience at their Regional meet and performed like champions, taking the lead early and never relinquishing it.

The Bruins set the tone right away, scoring a 49.375 on floor behind a leadoff score of 9.85 from Malia Jones and a pair of 9.9s from Mohini Bhardwaj and Heidi Moneymaker. In first place after rotation one, the Bruins then moved to vault, where they scored four 9.9s (Kristin Parker, Lena Degteva, Bhardwaj and Moneymaker) to account for a 49.45 and a seven-tenths lead.

While the Bruins were on a bye in rotation three, Alabama closed to within four-tenths, and Nebraska pulled to within .425. Each subsequent Bruin routine would be critical. On bars, a 9.9 from Degteva and a 9.95 from Bhardwaj brought the Bruins a solid 49.35 score and kept their lead at seven-tenths ahead of Utah, but with the beam remaining.

As the leadoff performer, freshman Doni Thompson gave the Bruins just what they needed - a career-high 9.8. Parker followed with a 9.775, Jones recorded a 9.75, and

Moneymaker provided a 9.85. After Degteva dismounted with a 9.825, UCLA knew it had done all it could do to win the title. Bhardwaj capped the meet with a 9.875 and gave UCLA a second consecutive 24 for 24 performance.

The Bruins spent the final rotation on a bye in the locker room and waited as the other schools tried to overtake their 197.3 final score. The closest competitors needed more than 49.725 (9.945 average) to tie. None of the teams came close, and UCLA won its second national title.

UCLA continued its winning ways at the Individual Event Finals, as Bhardwaj won the uneven bars title, and Degteva won the balance beam crown.

The 2000 Bruins (clockwise, l-r) - Carly Raab, Stephanie Johnson, Doni Thompson, Valerie Velasco, Onnie Willis, Malia Jones, Alison Stoner, Lindsey Dong, Mohini Bhardwaj, Lena Degteva, Kristin Parker, Amy Young, Heidi Moneymaker.

2000


UCLA’s National Team ChampionsThe expectations for the 2001 Bruins were sky-high. After all, the Bruins were the defending NCAA Champions and had what was generally considered the most talented team in the history of collegiate gymnastics. But it took more than just talent for UCLA to reach the top of the podium

at the NCAA Championships. A strong team commitment, team chemistry, depth, resiliency and a lot of heart brought the Bruins their second consecutive national title.

The quest to repeat started off strongly after a 24-for-24 performance during the preliminary session. UCLA placed first in the afternoon session with a score of 197.625 to advance to the Super Six. Onnie Willis ended the afternoon as the all-around co-leader and saw her score stand during the evening session, making her UCLA’s first-ever NCAA all-around champion.

With day one of the Championships over with, the Bruins went into the team finals wearing shirts that read “Win With Our Hearts”, and they proceeded to do just that.

The Bruins showed their heart early in the competition. During the first rota-tion, a fall from the first competitor put the pressure on early, but the team responded with three consecutive scores of 9.9+ to end the floor rotation with a .275 lead over Georgia.

The Bruins increased their lead on vault to .35 after totaling 49.45, thanks to three scores of 9.9 or higher.

The lead evaporated to just one-tenth of a point when two of UCLA’s final three competitors on bars made costly errors, and with the Bruins’ final rotation being the dreaded balance beam, UCLA had to be flawless. And they were.

As home team Georgia scored a 49.5 on vault, the Bruins matched them score for score. In the leadoff position, Doni Thompson put the winning wheels in motion by starting the set with a career-high 9.9. A fall from UCLA’s second competitor put the pressure on, but the Bruins responded and almost fed off the pressure.

2001

The 2001 Bruins (clockwise, l-r) - Mohini Bhardwaj, Malia Jones, Stephanie Johnson, Jamie Dantzscher, Jamie Williams, Doni Thompson, Kristin Parker, Carly Raab, Valerie Velasco, Kristen Maloney, Yvonne Tousek, Jeanette Antolin, Onnie Willis, Lindsey Dong.

Tousek followed with a career-high 9.95, Willis tied her career-high with a 9.9, and Maloney scored a 9.925 to set the stage for Bhardwaj. In familiar territory after having clinched the dual meet win against Georgia at home, Bhardwaj responded with a 9.9, well above the 9.75 she needed to move ahead of Georgia. The Bruins finished with a beam total of 49.575, the second-highest beam mark in school his-tory, and an overall team total of 197.575, .175 ahead of Georgia.

In addition to the team and all-around titles, Tousek won the uneven bars title, and Bhardwaj capped her career by winning the floor exercise championship.

A year after a disappointing third-place finish at the NCAA Championships, UCLA reclaimed its status as the top program in the nation, winning the NCAA title for the third time in four years.

UCLA entered the NCAA Championships in Lincoln, Neb. as the favorite and got through stage one of the Championships by placing first at the preliminaries with a score of 196.95. The Bruins did have to count a fall on beam, leaving definite room for improvement in team finals.

The Bruins were a resilient bunch in team finals. On three of the four events, UCLA had an early fall but never let it faze them, stepping up under pressure to throw out that low score.

Competing in the favored Olympic order, UCLA’s night got off to a slow start when the first vaulter fell. However, the rest of the team raised their game a notch and reeled off five straight dynamic vaults to close the set with a team total of 49.35.

UCLA suffered another fall on bars in its next rotation, but again, three straight scores of 9.9 or higher to close the set negated the fall and put the Bruins ahead by two-tenths after two events.

On beam, where UCLA had suffered two falls in prelims, Bruin head coach Valorie Kondos Field employed a brilliant strategic move, putting in the extremely consistent Onnie Willis as the leadoff competitor. In her first ever leadoff performance, Willis was not only steady but spectacular, scoring a 9.925 to set the table perfectly for her teammates. UCLA reeled off scores of 9.9, 9.825, 9.85, 9.95 and 9.9 to earn a final

team score of 49.525 and a .475 lead over second-place Georgia.

Heading into the final rotation, UCLA held a three-tenths lead over Ala-bama and needed to score 48.85 on floor to overtake Georgia. Jeanette Antolin led off with a 9.85, and seniors Kristin Parker and Malia Jones capped off their careers with a 9.875 and 9.9, respectively. A fall by Kate Richardson put some pressure on the Bruins, but with Willis and Jamie Dantzscher on deck, there was little doubt they would respond like champions. Willis earned a 9.9, and Dantzscher clinched the victory by scoring a near-perfect 9.975, which gave UCLA a final total of 197.825, .55 higher than second-place Alabama.

Richardson and Dantzscher shared the uneven bars title at the Individual Event Finals, and Richardson took home the balance beam crown.

The 2003 Bruins (back row, l-r) - Yvonne Tousek, Alyssa Beckerman, Jamie Williams, Carly Raab, Onnie Willis, Doni Thompson, Holly Murdock, Trishna Patel.

2003


UCLA’s National Team ChampionsAs hosts of the NCAA Champion-ships, the Bruins were looking for their fifth title but first on their home turf. The “Drive for Five”

started in the preliminary session.

Typical of most of UCLA’s past championship years, the Bruins started the meet with a fall on their first routine on vault. But in true UCLA fashion, the Bruins picked themselves up and followed through with stellar performances to discount the low score. UCLA pulled away on uneven bars, scoring a 49.65 after counting five scores of 9.875 or higher, including a 9.975 from Jamie Dantzscher, and finished the session in first place with a score of 197.675.

The Bruins started the Super Six Team Finals on floor, a less than desirable rotation order. For UCLA, however, that rotation order had seen them through NCAA titles in 2000 and 2001. The order proved to be good luck for the Bruins again, and they exceeded all expectations with a stunning record-breaking performance to keep the trophy in Westwood.

After an inconsistent regular season and a relatively shaky start to the post-season with a second-place showing at the Pac-10 Championships and a rocky final rotation at the Regionals, the Bruins picked the best time of the year to put in a near-perfect performance. They hit 24-for-24 routines, with 15 scores of 9.9 or higher and an NCAA Super Six record 198.125 final score.

UCLA started the meet with a 49.525 on floor to take a slight .75 lead over Georgia and extended the lead to .225 after scoring a 49.525 on vault for a two-round total of 99.1. The Bruins pounded out a 49.425 on bars for a three-round total of 148.525. Georgia kept the pressure on, staying .525 behind.

With the unenviable position of finishing the meet on a bye, the Bruins knew they had to score high on beam in rotation five before heading into the locker room. They did that and more, tallying a meet-high 49.6 and leaving it mathematically impossible

(front row, l-r) - Trishna Patel, Yvonne Tousek, Kristen Maloney, Jamie Dantzscher, Jeanette Antolin, Christy Erickson.

for anyone to top their 198.125. Freshman Lori Winn kicked things off with a 9.875, and the Bruins never looked back. Christie Tedmon scored a 9.85, Jeanette Antolin and Kate Richardson stepped up with 9.95s, Yvonne Tousek scored a 9.9, and Kristen Maloney slammed the door shut with a 9.925.

“This championship is especially special,” said UCLA head coach Valorie Kondos Field. “First of all, it wasn’t easy this year. We had to come out and work hard all season.”

“We may have lost meets early on, but we put our egos aside. We trained hard, and we eventually came out on top.”

UCLA Gymnastics Legacy EndowmentUCLA Gymnastics has established a legacy of athletic and academic excel-lence. The Bruins have captured five NCAA titles, 17 NCAA Regional titles and 14 Pac-10 Conference titles. UCLA gymnasts annually contend for the highest team GPA in the athletic department and post a higher cumulative GPA than the average UCLA student.

Their accomplishments on the competition floor, in the classroom and in life set a standard of excellence unmatched by any other NCAA Gymnastics team in the last decade.

The UCLA GYMNASTICS LEGACY ENDOWMENT CAMPAIGN was established to assist in continuing this legacy of Bruin excellence. The goal of this campaign is to fully endow all 12 of our gymnastics scholarships. Endowments are $150,000 each and can be paid out over a five-year period.

UCLA Athletics would like to thank our contributing endowment members for their generous support of our five fully endowed scholarships.

UCLA has captured 38 national individual titles since 1980, including 23 in the last 13 years. Thirty of those titles are NCAA championships, and UCLA ranks No. 2 in the nation in all-time NCAA individual titles.

Bruin gymnasts have not only won national titles, but many have done it in record fashion. Sharon Shapiro won UCLA’s first-ever national title and made history at the 1980 AIAW Championships by becoming the first collegiate woman to sweep all four events and the all-around. No gymnast has duplicated that feat since.

Kim Hamilton became UCLA’s first-ever NCAA champion when she took home the floor exercise crown, the first of an unprecedented three consecutive from 1987-1989. In 1998, Heidi Moneymaker became UCLA’s first-ever NCAA bars champion, and in 2001, Onnie Willis was crowned all-around champion, the first for a Bruin at the NCAA Championships. Jamie Dantzscher in 2002 won three titles, becoming the first gymnast in seven years to win as many in one season. Tasha Schwikert became the first UCLA gymnast to win multiple NCAA all-around titles (in 2005 and 2008) and the first in NCAA history to win as both a freshman and a senior.

dazzling performance by Marrow, who scored a 10.0 on the floor exercise. Fresh-man Stella Umeh capped the Bruins’ successful season by winning the floor exercise title and becoming the first Bruin freshman to win a national title since 1987, when Hamilton accomplished that feat.

The Bruins achieved a breakthrough year in 1996. Not only did they place second at the NCAA Championships with a school record 197.475, but Kondos was named the National Coach of the Year, and Dee Fischer scored the fifth 10.0 in school history by hitting a perfect vault to help the Bruins win the West Regional title for the fourth consecutive season.

After years of watching Utah, Alabama and Georgia dominate the leaderboard at the NCAA Championships, UCLA finally made the jump to the top, winning the 1997 NCAA team title, as well as the Pac-10 and West Regional titles. Homma earned Pac-10 Gymnast of the Year honors for the second time in her career and scored the first 10.0s of her career, on vault and bars. Kondos again won National Coach of the Year honors.

In front of a home crowd, two Bruins won NCAA individual titles in 1998 — Umeh (floor) and Heidi Moneymaker (bars). Also at the NCAAs, Umeh scored her first 10.0 on floor in the final team competition of her career. In addition, Umeh won three of five titles at the Pac-10 Championships and earned Pac-10 Gymnast of the Year honors.

The year 1999 saw two more NCAA individual titles come to Westwood, as Mon-eymaker won the vault championship, and Kiralee Hayashi, the Pac-10 Gymnast of the Year, tied for the beam title. Moneymaker’s NCAA title was a fitting end to her outstanding season that saw her win the all-around titles at the Pac-10 and Regional meets. Also in 1999, Shapiro became the first female gymnast to be inducted into

UCLA’s Hall of Fame. She would later be joined by Hamilton, Andrews and Homma.

UCLA’s success continued into the new mil-lennium, as the Bruins dominated with four NCAA titles from 2000-2004. The Bruins won back-to-back championships in 2000 and 2001 and had another back-to-back run in 2003 and 2004. During the 2000s, UCLA won 17 NCAA individual titles, including all-around victories by Onnie Willis in 2001 (the school’s first-ever NCAA all-around title), Jamie Dantzscher in 2002 and Tasha Schwikert in 2005 and 2008.

The year 2010 saw a return to the top for UCLA, who swept through the postseason, hit-ting 95 out of 96 routines over four postseason meets to claim the Pac-10, Regional and NCAA Championships. Two Bruins claimed individual titles - Vanessa Zamarripa on vault and Brittani McCullough on floor. The Bruins have had at least two individual titles in seven of the last 11 years and have won three titles in four of the last 10 years. UCLA now ranks No. 2 in all-time NCAA individual championships with 30.

UCLA has had three Honda Award winners in this decade - Mohini Bhardwaj in 2001, Willis in 2003 and Kristen Maloney in 2005 - and five winners

in all. Academic award winners have been prevalent as well. Willis and Kristin Parker were awarded NCAA Post-Graduate Scholarships in 2003 and were two-time Co-SIDA Academic All-District honorees. Willis and Kate Richardson earned the NCAA Today’s Top VIII Award. Richardson was also the Pac-10 Conference Woman of the Year in 2006 and a three-time CoSIDA Academic All-American and was awarded a NCAA Post-Graduate Scholarship.

Bruin gymnasts also played prevalent roles on the elite scene. In 2004, Richardson competed at her second Olympic Games for Canada, becoming only the second female gymnast ever to compete as a collegian. She was joined in Athens by for-mer Bruin Bhardwaj, who captained the U.S. team to a silver medal in the team competition. Both Bruins qualified for event finals on floor exercise, with Bhardwaj placing sixth and Richardson seventh. In 2010 after a successful collegiate season, Zamarripa qualified for the USA Championships and made the U.S. National Team after an eighth-place all-around and runner-up vault finish.

Since its inception in 1974, UCLA gymnastics has been among the greatest gymnastics teams in the nation, having claimed 22 Top 5 national finishes, 18 regional titles and 15 Pac-10 championships. The Bruins have won six NCAA titles, all in the last 14 years - 1997, 2000, 2001, 2003, 2004 and 2010.

The women’s gymnastics program was one of 10 new varsity teams sponsored by the Department of Women’s Intercollegiate Athletics (DWIA) formed in 1974. That year, Kirby Weedin, along with co-coach Jennifer Shaw, helped UCLA place first at the Southern California Women’s Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Class II Cham-pionships. In 1977, the team, behind coach Lee Ann Lobdill, began competing solely in Class I competitions. The Bruins, a member of the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW), the counterpart to the NCAA, had relative success in its first years of existence, with Laurie Donaldson becoming the first Bruin to achieve national recognition.

A new decade brought in a new head coach for UCLA and a new winning era for the Bruins. With the emergence of Sharon Shapiro, Kim Hamilton, Tanya Service and Jill Andrews, the UCLA women’s gymnastics program was transformed from a collection of tumblers to a group of national-caliber gymnasts. Sharon Shapiro, with her innovative style and explosive performances, rocketed to national stardom. As a freshman, she made history at the 1980 AIAW Championships by becoming the first female collegiate gymnast to capture national titles on all four events and the all-around — a feat no one has duplicated since. Shapiro continued her success in 1981 by winning the AIAW vault and all-around titles. This paved the way to UCLA’s second-place team finish, the first of three runner-up finishes in the 1980s. Shapiro won the Broderick Award in 1981, given to the country’s top female gymnast. The next year, the NCAA encompassed the AIAW to form one intercollegiate athletic association for both men and women.

The following years, under head coach Jerry Tomlinson, UCLA placed no lower than sixth at the NCAA Cham-pionships, including a runner-up finish in 1984.

In 1987, the Bruins joined the Pacific-10 Conference and won the first of four consecutive Pac-10 team titles. At the conference championships, Service captured the all-around, bars and a share of the beam title en route to 1987 Pac-10 Gymnast of the Year honors. The Bruins finished first at the NCAA West Regionals and third at the NCAAs. Hamilton collected her first national floor title.

The next year, UCLA went undefeated in the regular season for the first time, compiling an 18-0 record. The team finished third once again at NCAA’s, with Hamil-ton recording her second-straight floor title. Andrews garnered her own national title on the vault.

The Bruins nearly won the NCAA Championship in 1989, falling short by a mere five-one-hundredths of a point to Georgia. However, Hamilton won an unprecedented third consecutive national floor title and also won the vault title. Andrews tied for the beam championship, and Service became the first gymnast to win Pac-10 Gymnast of the Year honors twice. Andrews was the second, earning the title in 1988 and 1990.

At the end of the 1990 season, Valorie Kondos was named the new head coach of the Bruin program, and she appointed Scott Bull as her co-head coach. UCLA returned to national form by claiming the 1993 Pac-10 and NCAA West Regional team titles and posting its best finish (fourth) at NCAA’s since 1990. That year, Amy Thorne became the first Bruin to score a 10.0 on any event with her flawless floor routine, and one month later, Megan Fenton reached perfection by scoring a 10.0 on the uneven bars to take the Pac-10 title. In 1994, Kareema Marrow became the third Bruin gymnast to score a 10.0, this one coming on vault. The Bruins went on to sweep the all-around standings at the Pac-10 Championships, with Leah Homma becoming the fifth Bruin to become the all-around champion, and Marrow and Karen Nelson placing second and third. The Bruins took home their second consecutive regional championship and a fifth-place showing at NCAA’s.

After the departure of Bull, Kondos became the Bruins’ sole head coach in 1995 and earned West Regional Coach of the Year honors. She also led her team to a fourth-place showing at the NCAA Championships. The Bruins were backed by a

Dan GuerreroAthleticDirector•UCLA’74•9thYearOn April 25, 2002, Daniel G. Guerrero was named UCLA's eighth Director of Athletics, succeeding the retiring Peter Dalis. A former Bruin baseball player, Guerrero, who assumed his duties on July 1, 2002, exudes the pride of a student-athletewhoisnowinchargeoftheprogramathisalmamater.

Guerrero, one of the most respected and talented administrators in intercollegiate athletics, has placed his mark on theprogramasthedirectorofathleticsatUCLA.HeisthecurrentpresidentoftheDivisionIAthleticDirectorsAssociation. In addition, he is the first vice-president of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) and a member of the NACDA Executive Committee. This past June, Guerrero completed a five-year term on the NCAA’s Division I Men’s Basketball Committee. As the committee chair in 2009-10, he was involved with the

negotiation of the $10.8 billion, 14-year NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament television package as well as the decision to expand the tournament to68teams.

In Guerrero's eight years as AD, he has clearly established a pattern of “image and substance” that few in his profession can match. UCLA stands as the No. 1 University in the nation for NCAA Team Championships (106) won, a number that continues to grow under his direction. In those eight years, UCLA teams have won 20 NCAA national team championships (the highest total in the nation in that span) in 11 different sports, finished second 16 times and have had an additional 28 Top Five finishes (64 total). A staggering 152 teams (of 184 possible) have qualified for NCAA post-season competition, and the football team has appeared in seven bowl games.

Guerrero came to UCLA in 2002 from UC Irvine, where he had served as UCI’s fifth Director of Athletics for 10 years. Prior to arriving at UC Irvine, he was the Athletic Director for five years at Cal State Dominguez Hills (1988-92). He received his Bachelor’s degree from UCLA in 1974 and played second base in the Bruin baseball program for four years. Guerrero was inducted into the UCLA Baseball Hall of Fame in 1996. He earned a Master's degree in Public Administration in 1982 from Cal State Dominguez Hills and was named to the Pi Alpha Alpha Honor Society for Public Affairs and Public Policy that same year.

Wooden Academy: Teamwork, Leadership and CharacterThe Wooden Academy is a comprehensive leadership development program designed to educate and support the standards of leadership for Bruin student-athletes. The pillars of the Wooden Academy are teamwork, leader-ship and character. The program is named after legendary Coach John Wooden, and strives to teach the values and principles of his Pyramid of Success. We believe that these skills will assist student-athletes in their pursuit to be suc-cessful leaders and teammates at UCLA, and as they pre-pare to be champions in life. Student-athletes will have the opportunity to participate in the Wooden Academy each year by attending seminars and learning practical leadership lessons from coaches, administrators and Bruin alumni.

Community OutreachBruin student-athletes, coaches and staff have the opportunity to participate in community service activities on campus and through-out the Los Angeles area. Examples of these events include;• Marathon Kids• Dribble for the Cure• Mattel Children’s Hospital• Elementary/Middle School Visits• Team Prime Time/Prime Time Games• UCLA Lab School Jogathon• I’m Going to College• Adopt a Classroom• Special Requests/Events

These outreach opportunities give student-athletes a chance to mentor youth, give back to the community and serve as ambassadors for UCLA Athletics.

All UCLA head coaches stress involvement with the campus and the community. Whether it’s volunteering at an inner-city youth clinic, speaking to children at elementary and middle schools in the area, or assisting in campus programs such as ‘Marathon Kids’ and ‘I’m Going to College,’ community service is an important aspect of being a Bruin. These outreach opportunities give student-athletes a chance to mentor youth, give back to the commu-nity and serve as ambassadors for UCLA Athletics.
