UCLA senior Margzetta Frazier and Cal freshman eMjae Frazier are close-knit sisters looking forward to their first college matchup against each other.
competed in different sessions of two invitational events earlier this year, but Saturday’s dual meet in Berkeley at 2 p.m. will be the first time the Frazier sisters have ever competed against each other., was always leaving one level as eMjae, a freshman with No. 7 Cal, was entering, their mother Tina Frazier said. Growing up, all eMjae wished for was to have her older sister watch her competitions. Competing against Margzetta has triggered some of her competitive juices, eMjae said.
The unique matchup lined up only because Margzetta used an extra year of eligibility to write a proper ending to her UCLA career. The three-time All-American completed just one routine last year after breaking her foot during a bar routine in the season opener. Healthier than ever, Margzetta extended her streak of consecutive routines without a fall to 109 this season, contributing regularly on vault, bars and floor. She tied her career-high on floor with a 9.
California’s eMjae Frazier competes on the balance beam during an NCAA gymnastics meet on Jan. 7 in Las Vegas. Margzetta started gymnastics as a child at a gym 10 minutes away from the family’s home in Sicklerville, N.J. It wasn’t known for producing elite gymnasts or even top junior Olympic competitors. The Fraziers liked it because it kept their oldest daughter busy and it was close to home. But when new coaches took over and noticed how talented the 10-year-old Margzetta was, they encouraged the family to pursue elite gymnastics.
