Margzetta Frazier was one of several marquee UCLA gymnasts who celebrated the beginning of the Bruins' new era with triumphant returns from injury.
Since crashing on her first tumbling pass on the second day of Olympic trials, Lee has faced challenges in and out of the gym at UCLA. On top of the injury, Lee struggled to adjust to college, where she was suddenly thrust into high-level classes in person after taking high school online. She had to balance a newfound social life. The mood in the gym soured after a preseason incident in which a, and the environment made it difficult to “want to come back and contribute to the team,” Lee said.
Lee’s bond with Lashbrooke helped the teammates persevere through their difficult recoveries. Lashbrooke’s comeback has been even more arduous since getting injured in January 2021. The aftermath was difficult, Lashbrooke said. At first, the floor specialist had a “woe-is-me” attitude, especially as the recovery dragged on past the typical one-year timeline. But she felt inspired when Lee joined the team and attacked her recovery.
While recovering from her foot injury, Frazier took inspiration from Lashbrooke and Lee, emulating the way they took extra turns in the gym and did extra reps in the weight room. Seeing their comebacks Thursday brought more tears to Frazier’s eyes.UCLA senior Margzetta Frazier became a viral sensation this season, as well as a voice for racial equality in gymnastics and an advocate for mental health.
