The awards keep coming for LSU senior gymnast Susan Jackson.
Jackson was awarded the Honda Sports Award for gymnastics as the nation’s top female college gymnast Wednesday.
Jackson is the first LSU gymnast to win the award and the second to be a finalist for the award after Ashleigh Clare-Kearney was a finalist in 2009.
“I am extremely honored and humbled to win the Honda Sports Award,” Jackson said in a news release. “To be recognized among such a talented group of gymnasts is very gratifying. The outstanding level of support from my teammates and coaches has been instrumental to my success both inside and outside of the gym.”
Jackson was the first gymnast in LSU history to win the NCAA all-around national title. She won three national titles in her career — the all-around and beam titles in 2010 and the vault in 2008.
Jackson also won 2010 Southeastern Conference Gymnast of the Year.
