The No. 19 MSU gymnastics team finished the Big Ten Championships over the weekend with a score of 192.650, good for seventh place in the competition.

Rival Michigan took first place and Penn State and Illinois finished second and third, respectively.

Despite the overall team performance, senior Kristen Coleman was named the Big Ten Gymnast of the Year, the first Spartan to win the award since 1989.

"I was really excited to get the award," Coleman said in a written statement. "I'm glad that I've had such a great season so far, and it's been really exciting to have my best season my senior year. To represent my school as Gymnast of the Year is really exciting."

In addition, Coleman and freshmen Nicole Curler and Rochelle Robinson earned First-Team All-Big Ten honors.

It's the first time in school history that three gymnasts have been named to the First-Team All-Big Ten.

"We are thrilled with three All-Big Ten first-team selections," MSU head coach Kathie Klages said in a written statement. "We are proud of each of these young ladies' efforts."
