University of Minnesota freshman gymnast Harris Coleman earned his first Freshman of the Week honor after recording a first-place finish and two 15-plus performances for the Gophers against Penn State and Temple over the weekend.

He recorded a career-best and a team season-high score on the pommel horse, scoring a 15.200 to claim top honors in the event Saturday. He also recorded a 15.550 on vault and a 14.450 in floor exercise to claim eighth in both events. Coleman also was seventh on high bar with a mark of 13.800.

In addition to Coleman's honor, the Big Ten also named Illinois junior Paul Ruggeri Big Ten Gymnast of the Week.

Minnesota is in action again Saturday night at the Sports Pavilion, hosting Iowa and Illinois-Chicago at 7 p.m.
