Jaroh Adds CGA National Gymnast and Rookie of the Week Honors

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – Penn State's Michael Jaroh added two more weekly awards for men's gymnastics on Tuesday, bringing his total to four for his outstanding performance in a win over Nebraska on Sunday. Jaroh was named the CGA Gymnast of the Week and the Rookie of the Week. He received the Big Ten Gymnast and Freshman of the Week awards on Monday.

Jaroh earned at least a share of first place in three individual events and added a runner-up finish in another to help Penn State improve to 3-0 overall and 2-0 in the Big Ten. His best performance of the day came on high bar, which he won with a score of 14.0. That currently ranks as the nation's second-best score on high bar this season.

Jaroh shared first-place honors in two other events, doing so with a score of 14.55 on vault and 14.1 on pommel horse. His runner-up showing came on rings with a score of 13.75.

The Lions have earned three CGA weekly awards this season. Matt Cormer was the CGA Freshman of the Week last week.

Penn State puts its unbeaten record on the line when it travels to compete against Ohio State on Sunday at 1 p.m.
