The onset of the 2024 NCAA Gymnastics season on January 4 has brought new excitement to college sports. Each passing day, one or the other collegiate athlete takes the spotlight with breathtaking routines. Be it the sheer accuracy of Audrey Davis or the ever-mesmerizing floor routine of Olivia Dunne, one is left awestruck watching the exhilarating action unfold in gymnastics. And now, one more star has entered the list as California Bears clashed with Oregon State.

Bears were ranked No. 2 while Oregon State was placed at 16 as the two giants clashed at Haas Pavilion on Saturday afternoon. No upsets were recorded but it was a mesmerizing routine from a California junior who stole the show.

In the latest update on Twitter, California Women’s Gymnastics highlighted the picture-perfect floor routine of junior Mya Lauzon as she delivered a 9.975-point performance. “Another 9.975 for Mya as she nails the floor exercise!“, Bears captioned. Dancing perfectly to the musical beats, Mya was sensational with flips and in-air jumps while her teammates kept cheering her up on the sidelines.

Swift turns were the highlight of Mya’s performance who had a breakout season in 2023. She was named on the NCAA All-American vault and Balance Beam team. The Bears gymnast was also named on the First Team All-Pac-12 becoming the first Bear to win the Pac-12 beam title and recording a perfect 10 on beam. As the contest progressed, Mya’s contribution proved crucial for California dismantling the Oregon State.
