Iowa State’s Michelle Browning received the first Big 12 Gymnast of the Week honors for the 2012 season.

The senior earned the all-around title Sunday when the No. 24 Cyclones lost to Missouri 192.675-192.600.

Browning defeated Missouri’s Mary Burke, the reigning Big 12 all-around champion, with a score of 39.025.

Sunday was the first of the Cyclones’ meets this year, and Browning picked up right where she left off last season, when she was named Big 12 Gymnast of the Year.
