Johnson Named SEC Freshman of the Year
BATON ROUGE – LSU gymnast Kiya Johnson has been named the Southeastern Conference Freshman of the Year, the league office announced Tuesday.
Johnson, who also earned All-SEC and All-Freshman team honors, joins April Burkholder as the only LSU gymnasts to be named the top freshman in the league.
The Dallas, Texas, native was on pace to become the most decorated freshman gymnast in school history before the 2020 season ended in March. She earned All-America honors on vault, floor and all-around.
