TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – For the second week in a row, Alabama gymnast Kiana Winston has been named the Southeastern Conference Specialist of the Week the league office announced Tuesday.
The Ft. Worth, Texas, native won three events last Friday to lead the Crimson Tide to a convincing win over SEC rival Georgia. Winston won her second uneven bars (9.925) and balance beam (9.900) titles in as many weeks while also taking top honors on the floor exercise (9.900) against the Bulldogs.
