Columbus, Ohio – Ohio State men’s gymnast Jamie Natalie (So, Hockessin, Del.) has been named the Big Ten Athlete of the Week for the second time this season. Natalie led the Buckeyes to a 227.000-218.900 victory in Philadelphia over the Temple University Owls, sweeping all but one event on the day. He tallied a career high on the floor exercise (9.750) and in the all-around (58.600). His score in the all-around was also the best in the NCAA to date. After the weekend, Natalie now leads the nation for the all-around and parallel bars.
