STEUBENVILLE, Ohio – For the first time in her career, Towson University gymnast Lauren Keener was selected as a weekly award winner from the East Atlantic Gymnastics League (EAGL). The League made its announcement Wednesday morning.

Keener was selected as the Co-Rookie of the Week after Towson's second-place finish at its home finale on Friday evening. North Carolina's Julia Knower was the other Co-Rookie of the Week. George Washington's Deja Chambliss was the Gymnast of the Week while teammate Kendall Whitman was the Specialist of the Week.

An Apex, North Carolinan, Keener hit a career-best 9.900 on Friday, finishing third in a deep field at the quad-meet with No. 28 Maryland, George Washington and Southern Connecticut.
