The stands of Pauley Pavilion were filled with cardboard cutouts when the Bruins’ class of now-seniors first took the floor in January 2021. Gymnasts couldn’t share chalk or embrace after routines; they all donned masks when not competing and had begun preseason training late in October.
Emma Andres was nervous ahead of her beam routine Saturday. It was the graduate student’s first competitive appearance on the apparatus in front of what would later be announced as the largest audience for a regular-season NCAA meet in ESPN history.
Less than an hour before Saturday’s meet, the Bruins were dealt a blow. Senior Sara Ulias, who returned last weekend after recovering from a torn ACL, reinjured her knee during bars warmups.
Recovery from a torn ACL can take up to nine months. It can take up to six months to even start walking normally again. It also means a sudden halt to most forms of physical activity.
