Emi Watterson is being hailed for her incredible accomplishment during her uneven bars routine at a meet over the weekend.

Watterson, a senior at the University of California, Berkeley from Australia, successfully earned a perfect score during the routine against the University of Utah on Saturday, making her only the second gymnast in her school's history to do so and the first since 1992.

In a video of the routine shared on Instagram by Cal Women's Gymnastics, Watterson can be seen wearing a matching mask and leotard as she stuck her landing after spinning in multiple flips. Just as she completed the routine, her teammates swarmed her in celebration.

"E M I I S A P E R F E C T 1️⃣0️⃣.0️⃣0️⃣," the team wrote in the caption of the post, which also included a photo of Watterson holding up the 10 scores she received.
