IRVING, Texas – Following her strong Arizona State debut, junior Reese Grolla from Sun Devil Gymnastics is this week’s Big 12 Event Specialist of the Week.
These are the first Big 12 weekly awards of the season. Grolla is the second Gym Devil to earn a Big 12 weekly award in their second season as a member of the conference. The first was Jada Mangahas last season, who also won event specialist of the week.
For the complete list of Big 12 winners, head to the conference website.
Grolla is living up to her Big 12 Preseason Team selection early after winning two event titles in Arizona State’s season opener on Jan. 11. In the tri-meet against San Jose State and UC Davis, Grolla won the beam title with a 9.850. She also tied for the bars title, notching a 9.825 on that event. As a team, Arizona State took second place, beating UC Davis and coming up just short to San Jose State.
The Gym Devils are on the road this Friday, competing at Kentucky at 5 p.m. MST/7 p.m. EST. It will be live on SEC Network+.
