Graduation was last week and summer is in full swing. Let’s see what’s happening in the lives of Bruins.
Miss Val leads an incredibly inspiring and interesting life. Here she is, with husband Bobby Field, former UCLA assistant football coach, celebrating 21 years of marriage.

Both Miss Val and Katelyn Ohashi have become viral sensations in the last couple of years, and Katelyn’s gymnastics career definitely isn’t over even though she has graduated. Take a look at what’s up next.
Excited to announce that I will be a part of the inaugural @AuroraGamesFest celebrating elite female athletes from across the globe! @Katelyn_Ohashi will make her professional debut, competing for Team America coached by celebrity coach @JJoynerKersee! https://t.co/n3Uz5gWNCg pic.twitter.com/AsERg4RmY9

The Aurora Games take place this August in Albany, New York and are described as “A first of its kind sports and entertainment festival featuring world class competition in women’s tennis, gymnastics, basketball, figure skating, ice hockey and beach volleyball”. UCLA alum Jackie Joyner Kersee will be the Team America celebrity coach.
As you may know, UCLA softball alum Stevie Wisz had open heart surgery last week and, in true Stevie fashion, has had a very successful surgery and we hope she continues her speedy recovery.
Stevie kicked heart surgery’s butt like we knew she would. In and out in days! #StevieStrong https://t.co/n8aCRQHC0W

We wish her all the best.

We also have a tweet from Mick Cronin. From the time he was named head coach and turned his UCLA jersey around because “the letters on the front are more important than the letters on the back,” many have said that he just “gets it.” Here, he is spending time with some UCLA greats.
Had an awesome morning, just spending time with Lucius & Bill. Two of the best!#GoBruins pic.twitter.com/ZubBUjN4Ht
