MM 2.23: Two Maryland gymnasts receive Big Ten weekly awards

This is the Maryland Minute, a short story followed by a roundup of Terps-related news.

Despite the team losing over the weekend, No. 24 Maryland gymnastics had two of its gymnasts receive Big Ten weekly recognition for their performances.

On Tuesday, the conference announced that senior Emma Silberman was named Co-Big Ten Gymnast of the Week and freshman Madeline Komoroski was named Co-Big Ten Freshman of the Week.

Silberman led the way for Maryland performance-wise, tying for the top all-around score at the team’s meet against Minnesota with a score of 39.325, also scoring 9.900 on the floor and 9.850 in vault. Komoroski had a career-best performance on the floor, scoring 9.925, which helped the Terps earn a team score of 49.450, their highest score on the floor in six years.

The Terps will look to make a statement when they are back in action on Friday at 8 p.m. to take part in the Big Five Meet against Illinois, Iowa, Michigan and Penn State in Lincoln, Nebraska.
