Redshirt senior Christine Peng-Peng Lee has been named the Pac-12 Specialist of the Week after posting scores of 9.925 on uneven bars and 9.95 on balance beam at Oklahoma.
Lee tied for first on uneven bars for the second-straight meet, earning a season-best score of 9.925. She earned a second-place finish on the balance beam with a 9.95 score that included a perfect 10 from one of the two judges. She now ranks No. 8 in the nation on uneven bars with a season average of 9.9. Her two 9.9 scores give her a total of 20 9.9+ scores in her career out of 47 routines (43%).
This is Lee's fourth career Pac-12 weekly honor. In 2015, she earned Pac-12 Newcomer of the Week honors twice and Specialist of the Week once.
