What does it take to convert a dream into a perfect 10? For UCLA’s Brooklyn Moors, a 24-year-old Canadian Olympian who is in her graduate season, the answer was on March 29, 2025, at the NCAA Regionals, when she finally earned the coveted perfect score on floor exercise that she had been pursuing all year. As the crowd exploded and her teammates swarmed her in jubilation, gymnastics icon Kathy Johnson Clarke, who was calling the meet for ESPN, gave a brief but powerful five-word summary: “She’s made it her masterpiece.”
Johnson Clarke, Olympic bronze medalist on beam for 1984 and a commentating veteran for 2001, has traditionally been an outspoken supporter of gymnasts who bridge technique and artistry—hallmarks of excellence Moors achieves. Following the meet, Johnson posted on Moore’s Instagram story to lavish compliments on Moore’s perfect 10. She added in the posting, “It was worth the wait.” Fifth-year senior Moors’ 2025 campaign had already introduced her as multitalented. Competing on vault, beam, and floor in UCLA’s first four meets, she recorded a career-best 9.9s on beam twice, attributing assistant coach Lacy Dagen with overcoming her beam phobias.
