Lauzon, Wiley Earn Weekly ACC Awards

Bears Honored After Clinching Regular-Season Conference Title

After a regular season title-clinching performance at Stanford last Friday, senior Mya Lauzon and freshman Mya Wiley of the No. 6 California women's gymnastics team earned a pair of weekly ACC awards, the conference announced Tuesday.
 
Lauzon was named Gymnast of the Week for the fifth time this year and fourth time in the last five weeks. The Golden Bears have now earned the honor eight out of nine weeks. Wiley became the first Bear to earn Newcomer of the Week, giving Cal multiple winners in the same week for the first time this season.
 
Lauzon helped lead the Bears to an ACC regular-season championship by posting four routines with a score of 9.90+ and finding the podium in all five events. The senior won the all-around (39.675) and the floor exercise (9.95), earned a share of the balance beam title (9.925), tied for second on vault (9.90), and split the bronze medal on the uneven bars (9.90).
 
Wiley had to wait around for the entirety of the meet before getting her chance to shine but was not fazed one bit by the anticipation. In the very last routine of the night the freshman stepped up to the vault runway and anchored the lineup with a career-high 9.90 that secured the win and the top spot in the ACC for the Bears. She ended up in a tie for second place on the event, which is the second podium of her career.
