The UCLA women's gymnastics program has been known to be the home of the some of the most viral floor routines in college sports, and it has another star in senior Chae Campbell.
UCLA held its annual "Meet the Bruins" meet ahead of the 2024 season, where fans could see what routines and moves the seven-time national championship program will have in the upcoming year. Campbell has been a star for the Bruins on the floor, as she's been named an All-American, was the 2021 Pac-12 floor exercise co-champion and recorded two perfect 10s on floor exercise in 2022.
But Campbell delivered a unique routine for the intrasquad meet, as her floor exercise was inspired by the movie Marvel movie "Black Panther," and the senior dazzled in what will be her routine for her final year with the Bruins. Campbell's leotard resembled the Black Panther suit, the music in the routine came from the hit movie and she ended the magnificent set with a "Wakanda Forever" salute.
The routine drew rave reviews on social media and YouTube, as it gives the Bruins another star to watch when the 2024 season begins on Jan. 12. The senior from Texas was already named to the Pac-12 women's gymnastics 2024 Preseason Watch List.
Campbell was also appreciative for her set after the meet.
"Grateful for every moment. Wakanda Forever," she posted on social media.
