PITTSBURGH - Pitt freshman Meaghan Biros has earned her second East Atlantic Gymnastics League Rookie of the Week honor for her performance in Pitt's quad meet win last weekend.
Biros (Chicago, Ill./Mother McAuley) scored a career high 38.850 in the all-around in the Panthers' victory over Western Michigan, George Washington and Penn, which was good enough for third place overall.
The freshman also scored a career-high 9.650 on the balance beam and finished fourth overall on the vault (9.775), uneven bars (9.70) and floor exercise (9.725).
Biros' score helped lead the Panthers to a 194.525 on the night, which is their third-highest score of the season.
The Rookie of the Week honor is the second for Biros this season. The other recognition came on Feb. 9 after helping to lead Pitt to a quad meet win over No. 13 Iowa State, Rutgers and Brockport.
Biros and the Panthers will return to action Friday at Arkansas for a 7 p.m. meeting.
