COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Nov. 8, 2017 – Morgan Hurd of Middletown, Del./First State Gymnastics, won the women’s Best of October honors for the Team USA Awards presented by Dow, the United States Olympic Committee announced today. The other October honorees are figure skater Nathan Chen and the sibling ice dancing pair of Maia and Alex Shibutani.
In her world championship debut, gymnast Morgan Hurd was crowned the women’s all-around champion in Montreal. With teammate Ragan Smith withdrawing due to injury, Hurd stepped up to keep the American winning streak alive. In her trademark glasses, Hurd edged out Canada’s Ellie Black with an impressive performance on a difficult floor routine and extended Team USA’s all-around reign to seven straight world or Olympic titles. Two days after winning the all-around title, Hurd capped her sensational debut with a silver medal on the balance beam.
