Big Ten Gymnastics Championships 2023 Preview
Big Ten teams and gymnasts will vie for conference titles on Saturday at Iowa’s Xtream Arena.
With the events split in two sessions, the afternoon session will field Rutgers, Penn State, Minnesota, Nebraska, Maryland, and Illinois. Teams in the evening session include Iowa, Michigan, Ohio State, and Michigan State. Champions will be determined by scores from both sessions, and tie breakers are judged by head-to-head results.
Michigan and Michigan State, which shared the regular season title with 8-1 conference records, will go after the championship meet title. The Wolverines won an eighth regular season crown in 11 years while the Spartans won for the first time since 2013.
“We were going crazy and we were excited,” Michigan State head coach Mike Rowe said via The State News. “That celebration just kept going, we could have stayed on the gym floor forever. But then we got on the bus and it kind of just kept going all the way home.”
The second-ranked team in the country, Michigan (17-2) has won seven-straight meets, and that includes some notable wins. Michigan beat No. 1 Oklahoma and No. 18 Georgia during the regular season.
“There is no doubt that that’s a great way to conclude Senior Night,” Michigan head coach Bev Plocki said about the win over Oklahoma via the Michigan Daily. “By beating a program that I have so much respect for like the University of Oklahoma. I don’t think either one of us had our best meet, but that’s why we compete, right?”
“Now my team knows they’re good enough to win a national championship again,” Plock added.
Michigan last won a national title in 2021, the first ever for the program. First, the Wolverines will look to get past the Big Ten field.
Michigan State took first at its last three meets coming into the Big Ten Championships. The Spartans also beat the Wolverines during the regular season.
“The season kept building on that and it really did help build their confidence,” Rowe said via The State News. “With that, the gymnastics looks easier so the scores look higher…Fortunately with our win over Michigan, we had the tie with one loss each, and thought hey, if we clean up at big fives we are putting ourselves right in place.”
“We gotta bring it, that’s all there is to it,” Rowe added about the Big Ten Championship.
