Watch Jordan Chiles' Perfect 10 on Trending Video as UCLA Wins 2nd Consecutive Big Ten Championship
Two-time Olympic medalist Jordan Chiles rose to the occasion Saturday as UCLA successfully defended its Big Ten title in women's gymnastics.
The Bruins posted an overall score of 198.100 to beat out Michigan State. Chiles set a conference record with her all-around score (39.825) and posted a perfect 10 in the floor exercise for the second straight year.
UCLA has yet to lose a Big Ten meet since joining the conference. The team is now setting its sights on bigger objectives, namely an NCAA title after reaching last year's final and finishing as runner-up to Oklahoma.
"Our team is just going up from here," Chiles said on Big Ten Network (via the Los Angeles Times' Anthony Solorzano). "We haven't hit our peak yet. Obviously, there are still things that we can work on as individuals, but I think the team environment is definitely there. I couldn't be more proud of each and every single athlete that went up today and stepped in as well."
The NCAA tournament regionals get underway April 1, and the championship runs April 16 and 18 in Fort Worth, Texas. The Bruins are among the strongest squads in the field.
