Brianna Betts, wife of Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Mookie Betts, shared a brief yet enthusiastic reaction to NCAA gymnastics action at UCLA’s historic Pauley Pavilion on her social media.
Brianna's reaction shows the excitement surrounding UCLA’s 2025 gymnastics schedule. It also marks the Bruins’ debut in the Big Ten Conference.
Brianna Betts, who has more than 60,000 followers on Instagram, took to her account on Saturday to share a story about NCAA gymnastics. The caption of her story read:
"So good! (Clapping emoji)."
The Bruins, fresh off Jordan Chiles’ Olympic success (team gold and floor bronze in Paris 2024), will host four regular-season meets at Pauley Pavilion. This will include high-profile matchups against Illinois (Jan. 25), Penn State (Feb. 14), and Stanford (Mar. 9).
The season also features UCLA’s first-ever meet televised on Fox (Feb. 1 vs. Michigan State) and a preseason 'Meet the Bruins' exhibition on Dec. 14.
Notably, Chiles returns to collegiate competition after taking 2024 off to train for the Olympics. She joins fellow Olympians Emma Malabuyo (Philippines) and Brooklyn Moors (Canada), creating one of the most decorated rosters in NCAA history.
UCLA’s move to the Big Ten adds marquee matchups against Michigan, Ohio State and Utah, with postseason aspirations ending in the NCAA Championships in Fort Worth, Texas (April 17-19).
The iconic venue, which hosted Olympic judo and wrestling training during the 2028 Los Angeles bid preparations, remains a cornerstone of collegiate athletics. Its 2025 gymnastics slate promises to draw crowds eager to witness Chiles’ gravity-defying floor routines and Malabuyo’s artistry on beam.
