STANFORD, Calif. – For the second time this year, freshman Brody Malone captured a clean sweep of the available men's gymnastics weekly honors, taking home MPSF Gymnast of the Week, College Gymnastics Association Gymnast of the Week, and College Gymnastics Association Rookie of the Week. No previous Stanford gymnast had ever swept the three weekly awards.
The native of Summerville, Ga. had previously accomplished the feat on February 5. In total, this is the third time that Malone has been lauded by the MSPF (January 29, February 5). He has now claimed National Gymnast of the Year twice (February 5), and National Rookie of the Week four times (January 29, February 5, February 26).
