DANBURY, Conn. - Freshman pommel horse specialist Dan Clark was announced on Tuesday as the ECAC Rookie of the Week after a career-best performance at the Penn State tri-meet this past Saturday.

The freshman from Avon, Massachusetts was the top-scoring member of Navy's pommel horse lineup in the non-league competition between the Mids, Penn State and Air Force as he tallied a 13.9-point result. In the field of 15 gymnasts that score was fourth best and just 0.15 points out of second place.
