2023 Big Ten Women’s Gymnastics All-Conference Teams Announced
ROSEMONT, Ill. — The Big Ten Conference announced its 2023 women’s gymnastics all-conference teams on Wednesday. The All-Big Ten teams were determined on the basis of national qualifying scores (NQS) accumulated by student-athletes during the 2023 season.
All 10 Big Ten women’s gymnastics programs are represented on this year’s all-conference teams, including eight with first-team honorees. Big Ten regular-season co-champion Michigan led the way with seven All-Big Ten selections, including five on the first team, followed by Big Ten regular-season co-champion Michigan State which had five all-conference recipients (four on the first team, one on the second team). Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Ohio State and Rutgers also had at least one gymnast named to the All-Big Ten First Team.
An additional 16 gymnasts were named to the All-Big Ten Second Team, which was expanded due to a tie in the scoring. The 2023 women’s gymnastics All-Big Ten teams can be found below.
The 2023 Big Ten Women’s Gymnastics Championships will be held Saturday at Iowa’s Xtream Arena in Coralville, Iowa. The afternoon session (featuring Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, Nebraska, Penn State and Rutgers) will start at noon (ET), while the evening session (which includes Iowa, Michigan, Michigan State and Ohio State), will begin at 5:30 p.m. (ET). Both sessions will be televised live on the Big Ten Network and will also be streamed live on the FOX Sports app, with additional information available on the Championships web site at bigten.org/WGYM.
