She was a regular-season second-team All-American on floor exercise last season when she won two meets. She also earned SEC all-freshman honors.
“She’s just a performer,” coach Tim Garrison said. “She’s a ham. I think she enjoys it as much as the crowd does. So yeah, we’re glad to have her back.”
She scored a 9.9 on floor against Alabama after not participating in floor exercise the previous five matches. She also had a 9.8 on beam.
Brose’s bubbly personality shows when she’s competing, cheering teammates, signing autographs or participating in various service projects.
Garrison said even if he wanted to rein in her enthusiasm, he couldn’t.
“There’s no point trying to rein her in. Some, some things are futile,” Garrison said. “You can see it before she performs on beam, you can see when she’s just bouncing around.
“I mean, she’s about to perform on a beam that’s 16 feet long and four inches wide and four feet off the ground. That can unnerve the best of them. But not her. I think that’s just who she is.”
