While 2024 was a bittersweet year for Jordan Chiles, 2025 has been anything but promising. With UCLA absolutely smashing the roof in both record audiences and the NCAA matches, Jordan is a living highlight reel. Each week she simply shows why she is an Olympian and with her two perfect 10s, she is the only one with more than one. But with the UCLA Bruin’s latest win, she is simply elated. Why so?

Well, on March 3, history was made as UCLA secured its first-ever Big Ten regular season title with a commanding performance at the Big Four meet in Ohio. Dominating conference play with an undefeated 9-0 record, the Bruins (12-2) extended their winning streak to eight, posting an impressive 197.200. Nebraska (196.675), Ohio State (196.650), and Rutgers (195.875) battled hard, but UCLA was unstoppable.

As for Jordan Chiles? She was all in on the celebration. The second victory was sealed; she let out so many screams of joy that she completely lost her voice. But honestly, if there was ever a reason to go all out, this was it! When it came time for the post-meet interview, her voice was shot, but her emotions were loud and clear.

“UCLA WINS THE REGULAR SEASON. What does that mean to you, Jordan?” She laughed and croaked out, “It means so many emotions. Sorry about my voice—I’ve been screaming all day! This was a spectacular meet, and I’m so proud of every athlete who came out here today. Coming home with a regular season title is an honor, and we just want to say thank you so much!”

Safe to say, she’s feeling all the feels—and honestly? She’s earned it. But if you think she’s satisfied, think again because she is dreaming big! “Winning a national championship,” she said. The way UCLA performed? That goal is looking more and more like a real possibility.

Nebraska closes the gap, but Jordan Chiles stays locked in

On March 3rd, UCLA came out blazing on the floor, setting the bar high with a 49.500 to open the meet. Routine after routine was delivered, with five Bruins scoring 9.850 or higher. Then, Brooklyn Moors and Jordan Chiles took it up a notch, closing the rotation with back-to-back 9.950s, sending the energy through the roof.

The momentum carried into the vault, where UCLA kept their foot on the gas with a 49.275. McGowan and Mika Webster-Longin’s powerful Yurchenko 1.5s earned a matching 9.875s, while Campbell stuck her Yurchenko full for the same score. Lee, Moors, and Chiles added 9.825s, keeping the Bruins firmly in the fight.

Campbell nailed her Yurchenko full for the same score, while Lee, Moors, and Jordan Chiles each added 9.825s. But just when UCLA looked like they were pulling away, Nebraska made a move. A huge 49.375 on beam cut the Bruins’ lead down to just two-tenths at the halfway mark, 98.775-98.575. Game on.

Heading into bars, UCLA needed a strong rotation to keep Nebraska at bay. Campbell got things started with a solid 9.875, and Chiles came in clutch as the anchor with a huge 9.950. But in between? Some minor landing struggles knocked a few scores down, and the Bruins only gained.150 on the Huskers, who were bringing the heat on the floor.

That meant UCLA was up by just 0.35 going into the final rotation—aka, no room for error. Beam needed to be solid, and while it wasn’t their best, it was enough. Lee kicked things off with a standout 9.875, while Jordan Chiles and Campbell delivered clutch 9.825s, sealing a 49.125 and, most importantly, the conference crown. To make the victory even sweeter, Chiles grabbed her third straight all-around title with a 39.550, while Campbell landed in third with a 39.425. It wasn’t always perfect, but when it mattered most, the Bruins delivered.
