I'm re-watching one of UCLA's meets from last year and am just hoping Jordan comes back to UCLA next year. Her performance quality, energy, and sportsmanship is truly unmatched. It's not even her scores that I miss (though I do really miss that lol) - she just has such a presence. What a gem!
The lineup 1-2-3 punch of Selina, Jordan, and Marz on bars was incredible, as was the Selena, Marz, Jordan, Chae on floor. Imagine this year's team with Selena, Marz, Jordan, Nya, and Chae (ugh what could have been!)
UCLA is definitely missing Jo and Ana on bars/beam. I think UCLA will find consistency and success this year, but the olympic withdrawals are definitely a hit, especially on their bars/beam depth. Hopefully Jordan and Ana both return - those two with the remaining returners and the next two years of recruits should be great for UCLA.
I miss her, too! It was always good to see how she was super supportive of her teammates (as they were of her). Her enthusiasm was infectious!
I love watching Jordan. She is missed and can't wait to see her this upcoming year.
