Miller, Kirbo and Zaun honored by TCU
FORT WORTH - Emmanuel Miller, Ben Kirbo and Katie Zaun have been TCU Student-Athletes of the Week, presented by SciFit Center.
Miller was named Big 12 Player of the Week after a strong showing in TCU's two wins over top ten opponents last week. Miller scored 27 points against No. 9 Oklahoma while also surpassing 1,000 point mark . He was 11-of-17 from the field against the Sooners and 19 of his points came in the second half. Miller followed up his stellar performance with a team-high 13 points, including the go-ahead shot with 6.7 seconds remaining in the Horned Frogs' 68-67 win over No. 2 Houston on Saturday.
Kirbo had a career day as well this past week as he broke his own indoor pole vault school record at 5.18m (17-0). He won the event and was just one of two athletes to his 17-0. Kirbo is also the new facility record holder at Fasken Indoor Track.
Zaun finished first in both disciplines (591 smallbore, 596 air rifle) on Sunday for the TCU Rifle Team. The score of 596 in smallbore ties a career-high for Zaun and is tied for the third-best mark in program history. She was the only shooter to fire a 596 in the NCAA this year.
