INDIVIDUAL NATIONAL CHAMPIONS
Moneymaker became UCLA’s first-ever NCAA bars champion, and in 2001, Onnie Willis was crowned
all-around champion, the first for a Bruin at the NCAA Championships. Jamie Dantzscher in 2002 won
three titles, becoming the first gymnast in seven years to win as many in one season. Tasha Schwikert
became the first UCLA gymnast to win multiple NCAA all-around titles (in 2005 and 2008) and the
first in NCAA history to win as both a freshman and a senior. Kyla Ross became the first Bruin and only
the second NCAA gymnast ever to win all four individual event titles over her career (2009 vault, 2007
bars, 2007 beam, 2009 floor).
UCLA has captured 48 national individual titles since 1980, including nine in the last six years. Forty of
those titles are NCAA championships, and UCLA ranks No. 2 in the nation in all-time NCAA individual titles.
Bruin gymnasts have not only won national titles, but many have done it in record fashion. Sharon Shapiro
won UCLA’s first-ever national title and made history at the 1980 AIAW Championships by becoming
the first collegiate woman to sweep all four events and the all-around. No gymnast has duplicated that
feat since. Kim Hamilton became UCLA’s first-ever NCAA champion when she took home the floor
exercise crown, the first of an unprecedented three consecutive from 1987-1989. In 1998, Heidi
