Big Ten To Send Full Contingent To NCAA Men’s Gymnastics Championships

2023 NCAA Championships Central

 
ROSEMONT, Ill. (April 4, 2023) – The Big Ten Conference will have its full complement of teams competing at the 2023 NCAA Men’s Gymnastics Championships, as all five conference programs were among the 12 teams selected for this year’s meet that will take place April 14-15 at Penn State’s Rec Hall in University Park, Pa.
 
Big Ten Champion Michigan heads the list of conference participants, having accrued the third-highest qualifying score this season (409.850). Illinois had the fourth-highest score (407.050), followed by Nebraska in fifth (406.538), Penn State sixth (406.413) and Ohio State seventh (404.150).
 
The NCAA Championships will begin April 14 (1 and 7 p.m. ET) with two pre-qualifying sessions consisting of six teams each. The top three finishing teams in each session will advance to the NCAA finals on April 15 (6 p.m. ET). In addition, the top three all-around competitors not on an advancing team, plus the top three individuals in each event not already advancing as a member of a team or in the all-around competition, will also take part in the April 15 finals.
 
Live coverage of the meet will be announced at a later date.
 
Current Big Ten programs have won 39 NCAA men’s gymnastics national championships since the meet was first held in 1938, with the most recent Big Ten national champion being Michigan in 2014. Three former conference programs also won one NCAA title each as members of the Big Ten — Chicago (1938), Michigan State (1958) and Iowa (1969).
 
Last year, four conference teams advanced to the NCAA finals, with Michigan the top Big Ten finisher in third place.
