The Michigan State Spartans gymnastics team is set to start Big Ten play this weekend against Iowa Hawkeyes at the Jenison Field House. MSU is undefeated this season (4-0) and ranked No. 15 in the national top-25 rankings. Iowa is ranked No. 16.
After Michigan State’s tri-meet victory over Bowling Green Falcons and Illinois State Redbirds last weekend, the Big Ten announced that MSU’s Gabrielle Stephen was the conference’s Freshman of the Week. Stephen is the second MSU gymnast to be given the honor this season, as freshman Skyla Schulte was given the honor after the Spartans’ first meet with UC Davis and Sacramento State, also a tri-meet victory.
