Week 10 of Big Ten gymnastics was as exciting as every week before it, if not more. Even as we approach the tail end of the regular season, teams are still hard at work, and fans are being treated to some wonderful routines.
The highlight of this week's action was without a doubt the quad meet of Michigan State, Central Michigan, Fisk, and Greenville. Competing at the Jenison Field House for their final home meet of the regular season, the MSU Spartans brought the heat.
The team posted a season-high score of 198.150, which fell just short of their school record of 198.225. This also marks the first time Michigan State has breached the 198.00 mark twice in the same season and makes them one of the seven teams that have recorded scores of 198.00 or higher in 2024
Elsewhere, Central Michigan won their meet against Georgia with a score of 197.075-196.300, while Minnesota beat Illinois 197.400-196.075.
