Updike named Big 12 Newcomer of the Week for sixth time
The Big 12 Conference has named Missouri freshman gymnast Rachel Updike its Newcomer of the Week, the sixth time this season she has won the award. Updike is the first gymnast to win the award six times in a season.
Updike had a strong meet despite Missouri losing to Oklahoma on Friday. She scored 9.900 on vault, a career-high 9.850 on beam and 9.900 on floor to help propel the Tigers to their highest team score of the season.
Missouri will face Bowling Green State at 6:30 p.m. Friday at the Hearnes Center.
