For the second consecutive week, Katelyn Ohashi has been named the Pac-12 Freshman/Newcomer of the Week.
Ohashi set or tied career-highs on all four events and won the all-around with a career-best 39.375 in UCLA's 196.800-196.475 win at Arizona. The freshman from Plano, Texas started the meet with a career-high 9.925 on bars that gave her the event victory, the first of her career. She then set a new career-best on vault with a 9.775 and tied her career-best on floor with a 9.85. On beam, she was well on her way to a big score when the cap of the beam came off while she was dismounting, causing her to fall on her neck. After being evaluated by medical and athletic training staff, she was cleared to repeat her routine and finished with a career-high score of 9.825.
This is the second Pac-12 weekly honor of Ohashi's career and the 92nd overall for UCLA.
Stanford's Elizabeth Price earned Gymnast of the Week honors for the third-straight week, and Utah's Baely Rowe won Specialist of the Week.
