UCLA Tries to Extend Gymnastics Win Streak

UCLA, six-time defending champion, will risk that streak against four other top 10 teams in the UCLA-Times Men’s Gymnastics Invitational tonight.

The second-ranked Bruins have the nation’s top all-around performer in David St. Pierre. But the meet will showcase 14 of the nation’s top-ranked men.

Also in the meet are third-ranked Minnesota, fourth-ranked Illinois, fifth-ranked Nebraska, seventh-ranked Arizona State and New Mexico.

Nebraska is the defending National Collegiate Athletic Assn. champion. The Cornhuskers, Bruins and Sun Devils have accounted for eight of the last nine NCAA team championships.
