She was honored with the Big Ten Gymnast of the Week laurel last week after leading the Wolverines in a tie at Nebraska. Bruck has four weekly accolades in her career after twice being named conference gymnast of the week in 2005.
Bruck is the first student-athlete since 2004 to repeat as Big Ten Gymnast of the Week. Iowa's Stephanie Gran earned back-to-back honors on Jan. 28 and Feb. 4 in 2004 after a pair of all-around titles and Hawkeye wins. Coincidentally, Gran's Jan. 28 accolade came on the day of Michigan's last Big Ten loss.
Michigan tied a Big Ten record with seven gymnast of the week honors in 2005, led by three from Elise Ray (2001-05) and two each for Jenny Deiley (Dayton, Minn./Elk River) and Bruck.
U-M competes in its home opener on Friday (Jan. 27) when it hosts Ohio State on K-grams Night at 7:30 p.m.
