AUBURN, Ala. — UCLA’s Kristen Maloney won the balance beam and the vault titles at the NCAA women’s gymnastics individual event finals Saturday night for a triumphant finale to an injury-marred career.

For Iowa State, Janet Anson finished second on vault, and Laura-Kay Powell tied for eighth on floor.

The fifth-year senior, who endured five operations on her right shin and missed two seasons of competition, wasn’t able to lead UCLA to its third straight NCAA championship. But she gave herself a nice send-off nonetheless.

She won the first two events with matching scores of 9.9375. She outdistanced Anson (9.90) and LSU’s April Burkholder (9.8875) on the vault, while two-time defending champion Ashley Miles of Alabama was fourth.

In the beam, she beat out Nebraska’s Kristi Esposito and Michigan’s Elise Ray — the 2002 winner — who each scored 9.9125.

Maloney was a 2000 Olympian who was only able to compete in Sydney after having a titanium rod inserted in her shin. She had a 10 on the floor in Friday night’s team finals, but the Bruins still finished fourth.

North Carolina’s Courtney Bumpers scored a perfect 10 to capture her second straight floor exercise title. She tied with Alabama’s Ashley Miles last season to give North Carolina its first individual gymnastics championship.

Competing just before Bumpers, Miles was a close second with a 9.975 after getting a 10 in Friday night’s team finals.

Alabama freshman Terin Humphrey won the uneven bars with the night’s last routine, scoring 9.9375. She won the silver medal in that event at the Athens Olympics and beat out Kelsey Ericksen of NCAA champion Georgia (9.925). There was a three-way tie for third.
