UA gymnasts win SEC awards

Arkansas senior Braie Speed and freshman Sarah Shaffer earned honors from the SEC office Tuesday after big performances in the No. 11 Razorbacks’ school-record 197.3 showing Friday.

Speed, a senior from San Antonio, scored 9.95 on the uneven bars and won her fourth title of the season with a 9.9 on vault in last week’s tri-meet victory over Denver and Iowa State. Speed has competed on the vault for 36 consecutive meets and has posted a 9.8 or better in 32 of those meets.

Shaffer earned SEC freshman of the week honors to become the first Razorback to win three weekly conference honors in a season.
