Big news came from UCLA Gymnastics on Wednesday. Benjamin Royer of the DailyBruin tweeted that Selena Harris was dismissed from the team. She is now in the transfer portal, as she seeks her next location.
Harris was the 2024 Pac-12 Gymnast of the Year. She is a 12-time All-American and has a year left of eligibility. Harris was the top recruit in the 2023 freshman class and earned all Pac-12 Freshman of the Year honors.
In 2024, Harris earned four perfect scores and won the Pac-12 all-around title. She finished as the top-ranked athlete in the vault. Harris also qualified as an individual for the NCAA champions after the team missed out.
BREAKING: A UCLA Athletics spokesperson confirms to me that Selena Harris was dismissed from @uclagymnastics Tuesday afternoon and is now in the transfer portal.
Will have a story up for @DBSports shortly.

It will be interesting to see what else comes from this story, but the immediate reaction is obviously a huge loss for the Bruins gymnastics squad.
Harris has removed any trace of UCLA Gymnastics from her X bio.
She did respond to a tweet about her being in the transfer portal.
