Columbus, Ohio – Ohio State men’s gymnast Raj Bhavsar (Jr., Houston, Texas/ Cypress Academy) has been named the Big Ten Gymnast of the Week, the conference announced Tuesday. The accolade is the third-consecutive for Bhavsar.
Bhavsar received the award after racking up the highest all-around score in the country this season, posting a 56.200 to win the event against No. 5 Iowa and No. 6 Minnesota. His all-around score is the highest score posted since the new points system was implemented at the start of the 2001 season. The Buckeye junior earned his third-straight all-around crown while also finishing first in rings (9.600) and parallel bars (9.450) and producing a career-best 9.850 on floor exercise to place second.
Bhavsar and the Buckeyes now will prepare for the Big Ten championships which are held in Minneapolis, Minn., March 22-23.
