Haas Pavilion

My issues are my own, and I am very sparing in who I let in. But I couldn’t let this opportunity pass without reflecting on the past four years and the incredible people who got me here.

Last Saturday at Haas Pavilion, Cal men’s gymnastics welcomed No. 1 Oklahoma to its last home meet of the season to face off in a head-to-head battle of technique and endurance.

Despite their final team rankings falling short of No. 2 Stanford and No. 6 Illinois, the Bears each reached far, breaking records and hitting sets as a result.

With sisters eMjae and Margzetta Frazier on opposite sides of the mat, the Frazier family received the best possible outcome: a tie.

With the final routine, Cal freshman eMjae Frazier secured a tie for her team, the all-around win, a share of the floor title and two school records.

Cal and UCLA’s meet Saturday will mark the beginning of an end, a matchup between sisters and the homecoming of UCLA head coach Janelle McDonald.

Cal will certainly look forward to the Friday meet against Oregon State with morals high, hot off a successful Haas Pavilion meet.

When Arizona State comes to Haas on Saturday, Cal will look to match its season-high score of 197.525 in front of what it hopes will be another record crowd.

For the first time this season, Cal women’s gymnastics returned home to enjoy the energy of a Haas Pavilion meet, and better yet, a victorious home-opener.

Both the Bears and the Cardinal have yet to lose thus far, which means only one thing: one team will continue its win streak, and the other will meet its maker and falter to none other than their biggest rival.
