Who is the 2011 and 2015 NCAA balance beam champion?

Samantha Peszek was the 2011 and 2015 NCAA balance beam champion. The UCLA gymnast won the individual NCAA beam title in both seasons, making her one of the event’s standout competitors in college gymnastics.

Peszek first won the beam championship in 2011 while competing for the UCLA Bruins. Her college career was interrupted by a torn Achilles tendon that caused her to redshirt the 2013 season, but she returned to competition and used a fifth year of eligibility in 2015.

In that final season, Peszek won the NCAA balance beam title with a score of 9.95. She also shared the 2015 NCAA all-around championship with Florida’s Kytra Hunter, adding another major individual honor to her résumé.

The question refers specifically to the NCAA balance beam event, not the all-around competition or an international championship. Peszek also won an Olympic silver medal with the U.S. team at the 2008 Beijing Games, but her two beam titles were achieved at the collegiate level. She retired after the 2015 NCAA Championships.
