MINNEAPOLIS – The Big Ten Conference announced its 2022-23 Big Ten Distinguished Scholar Award recipients Tuesday with 115 University of Minnesota student-athletes earning recognition from the league.
Twenty Minnesota programs are represented on this year's Big Ten Distinguished Scholar list with 19 Golden Gopher student-athletes maintaining perfect 4.0 grade point averages during the 2022-23 academic year: Isabella Bejaran, Hannah Constable, Natalie DenHartog, Harriet Haege, Ava Hill, Ellie Husemann, Vasia Karvouni, Sydney Kretlow, Annie Moen, Maggie Nicholson, Elizabeth Overberg, Noah Rooney, Isaiah Salazar, Zeyneb Sarioglan, John Michael Schmitz, Sam Skillings, Kimball Utsey, Audrey Wethington and Grace Zumwinkle.
