Smith secures Gymnast of the Week recognition

DANBURY, Conn. – Sophomore Jake Smith delivered a flawless performance against Navy, hitting all four of his routines en route to earning ECAC Gymnast of the Week accolades.

Smith continued to show why he is an impact player for the Storm, nailing all four of his routines to help Simpson achieve its highest score of the season. His highest score of the meet was a 13.000 on high bar, which put him in a tie for first place with Navy's Isaiah Drake. Smith also achieved a 12.900 on floor, 12.850 on vault, and 12.050 on rings.

This marks Smith's second career weekly honor from the ECAC, adding to the Rookie of the Week award he earned last February.

The Storm will now enjoy a brief break before heading to Norman on Feb. 15 to face powerhouses Oklahoma and Michigan.
