UCLA's Selena Harris and Emma Malabuyo have earned regular season All-America honors for 2024, as announced by the Women's Collegiate Gymnastics Association (WCGA).
 
Harris, a sophomore from Las Vegas, Nev., is a four-time regular season All-American for the second consecutive year, receiving first-team All-America honors in the all-around and on vault and second-team acclaim on uneven bars and balance beam. She has accumulated a total of 11 All-American honors already in her short career. The Pac-12 Gymnast of the Year finished the regular season ranked No. 1 on vault, No. 5 in the all-around, No. 10 on uneven bars and No. 13 on balance beam. Aided by three perfect 10s on vault this season, Harris finished with a national qualifying score (NQS) of 9.965, the highest since Kyla Ross recorded a 9.970 NQS to rank No. 1 in 2019.

Malabuyo, a junior from Milpitas, Calif., received her first career regular season All-America award, earning second-team honors on balance beam. She recorded a NQS of 9.935 to rank No. 16 nationally. Malabuyo has a season-high of 9.975 and a career-best of 10.0. She averages a team-high 9.911 on the event. Last season, she earned first-team postseason All-America honors on beam after finishing fourth overall at the NCAA Championships.

The regular season All-Americans are awarded by the Women's Collegiate Gymnastics Association (WCGA). Student-athletes with the top eight National Qualifying Scores (NQS) for the regular season (with ties), for each event plus the all-around earned All-America honors. Second team All-America honors are earned by student-athletes ranked Nos. 9-16 (with ties) in the NQS.

UCLA has had a regular season All-American every year since the awards were established in 2013.
