From wearing USA on my chest in 2010 to UCLA on my chest in 2019, many things in my life have changed but one thing has always remained the same: my love for gymnastics!
Mood because I am officially (& finally) a UCLA Graduate! 🎓🐻💙💛🍾
Thank you to everyone who has helped me along this amazing journey! 🤍 Proud bruin for life!

(1/2) Crazy to think it’s already been 8 years since this moment in London! However, as I reflect on this day I have many different emotions. The gymnastics community in the U.S. and internationally is hurting and has been hurting for years.
Miss Val,
Pauley Pavilion will not feel the same without you next year but I know your spirit will forever be a part of this amazing place! Pauley will always be your home and I am so grateful to have shared it with you💙
What an amazing opening weekend for NCAA gymnastics season! The amount of love and support from all the athletes, coaches, and fans is exactly what this sport needs right now❤️💙
2018 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS🏆💍🎉
I have no words to describe the amount of love I have for this team! Last night was magical! We did it💛💙

I am honored to be receiving this prestigious award by
@cwsa_hondacup
that shines a much needed light on female athletics.
(2/2)There is nothing I want more than to see the sport of gymnastics be a place where athletes train in a safe environment.I am fully committed to helping the gymnastics community make steps in the positive direction. Let’s all work together to inspire more positive change❤️
These 4 people have been way more than gymnastics coaches to me, they are family💙 They have helped me grow in more ways than I could of ever imagined! Thanks for making this season so memorable✨
WHAT A SEASON!🎉 So grateful to call this group of girls my bruins sisters. Through the highs and lows of season our bond only got stronger! Last night we celebrated our love for each other and for the sport of gymnastics and I couldn’t be more proud!
Such an honor to be nominated! Keeping my amateur status as an athlete was a decision I had to make at such a young age. Beyond thankful for the past 4 years I’ve been competing in collegiate athletics due to that decision!
From our first day of preseason to the NCAA championship banquet...couldn’t have asked for a more inspiring group of ladies to have shared this season with!
Ready for one last weekend of fun!

[1/2]Being born 25% black, when discussing topics of discrimination&racial inequalities,I cannot speak from personal experience.However, I have grown up listening&learning about the centuries of unjust treatment of black Americans from the experiences of my own family& friends.
OMG IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY! 🎉🎂
Happy 22nd Kate! So proud of the person you have grown into and it has been so inspiring to see you flourish this past year as you take this next step in your life! Love you always 💙💛

Who else can’t wait for college gymnastics season already?!
Truly inspiring watching all of the athletes compete at trials this weekend. ❤️💙Congrats to the men’s team on being named and so anxious to hear the women’s team about to be announced! Who is it going to be?!
You have touched so many lives in the sport of gymnastics and now is your time to spread your wings to the rest of the world🦋 Thank you for blessing my life in many more ways than you could ever know! Love you 💙
I have had the immense privilege & pleasure of serving
@UCLA
and its athletic department for the past 36 years. I have enjoyed every moment of this journey, so it is bittersweet to announce that I will retire as the head coach of the
@uclagymnastics
team following the '19 season.
Even though I was the first born, I really think you were meant to be my older sister! Thanks for always looking out for me❤️ Happy 21st birthday McKenna🎂🍾🥂
