Michigan State gymnast Skyla Schulte was named the Big Ten Freshman of the Week, the conference announced Monday afternoon.

This is Schulte's first Freshman of the Week Award, and the first for the Spartans since Baleigh Garcia won the honor in February 2021. Schulte was also named a Big Ten Gymnast to Watch prior to the start of the 2022 season. This is the second year in a row that an MSU gymnast has been named Freshman of the Week in the conference's first week of awards distribution.
