Last week, UCLA won its first-ever Big Ten Women’s Gymnastics Championships with the highest team score ever recorded. Brooklyn Moors and Jordan Chiles gave their best as they tied for first place on floor exercise after scoring a set of 10s. But there was another standout athlete who made her mark. The grad student and standout on the UCLA gymnastics team clinched the all-around title at the Big Ten Championships. And today she has dropped another bombshell that has got the fans talking. Who is the gymnast, and what has she done now?

On March 30, 2025, X user Alexandra shared the electrifying news, posting, “CHAE SOPHOMORE FLOOR ROUTINE INCOMING FOR REGIONALS!!!,“ with a video showcasing Chae Campbell practicing her famous sophomore floor routine as her UCLA teammates cheer and try to practice the same. Campbell’s latest triumph at the Big Ten Championships was nothing short of spectacular.

She, along with Jordan Chiles and other teammates, led the team to a record-breaking score of 198.450, securing the all-around title. She also earned third-place finishes on vault and beam and a strong fourth on floor with a 9.950. Her scores helped UCLA tie a season-high 49.350 on vault, match a school record of 49.750 on beam, and set a Big Ten record of 49.800 on floor.

The post quickly caught the attention of fans, including former UCLA gymnast Olivia Karas, who replied, “THE WAY I GASPED,” showing just how big this moment was for the UCLA community. After her performance earned her the UCLA Student-Athlete of the Week award, her first ever, it’s clear Campbell is a powerhouse. Her leadership is vital for a team that includes big names like Olympians Jordan Chiles, Emma Malabuyo, and Brooklyn Moors.

The real shocker came with her decision to bring back her sophomore floor routine. Chae Campbell, who returned for her fifth and final year at UCLA, as reported by the Daily Bruin, has been a mainstay in the vault and floor lineups throughout her career. Despite a leg injury in 2024 that sidelined her for much of the floor season, she’s back and ready to make an impact. The Daily Bruin highlighted her role as a leader, especially after UCLA’s 17th-place finish in 2024, tying for the program’s lowest ranking ever. Campbell herself said, “This year, for me, is just really stepping into being confident and my gymnastics as a leader and really helping bring this team to the top.”

Her fitness is insane to be able to just switch up her floor routines—especially late in the season. .” This reaction highlights Campbell’s incredible athleticism, especially considering her ability to adapt her routines late in the season, a testament to her five years of experience at UCLA, as noted in her Daily Bruin feature.

The praise didn’t stop there. One fan exclaimed, “Chae is iconic for this 3, maybe 4 routines in one season?

Another fan wrote, “Her routines are so iconic !!!,” a nod to her history of delivering show-stopping performances, like her contributions to UCLA’s record-setting 49.800 on the floor at the Big Ten Championships.

Campbell’s return to her sophomore routine isn’t just a nostalgic treat—it’s a strategic move for a team aiming to dominate at regionals. As already known, UCLA has long been known for its electrifying floor routines, a tradition Campbell has been part of since joining the team in 2020.

Campbell’s leadership is also crucial for a roster welcoming six freshmen, including five-star recruits Sasha Fujisaka and Macy McGowan. Her experience and ability to rally the team will be key as UCLA aims for a national title. With her history on vault and a career-high on bars at the NCAA Semifinals, Campbell is a force to be reckoned with. Will this iconic routine be the spark UCLA needs to shine at regionals?
