Oklahoma (414.858) made it 97 wins in-a-row by earning their fourth-straight NCAA Men's Gymnastics Team Title. It certainly wasn't easy. The Sooners had fallen behind by about 4 points after struggling on their third event (SR). Stanford's strong start and Illinois lighting up the scoreboard on VT (72.464), put the Sooners in a precarious position. Needing to score 71-plus on their next event (VT) to keep pace, Oklahoma incredibly did a little lighting up of their own. Event champ Yul Moldauer (14.90), Tanner Justus (14.80) and Hunter Justus (14.766) led the Sooners to a [...more]
The Oklahoma Sooners, while giving their stars a light load in the qualifying round, made it 92 straight meet wins. The Sooners settled down after a rough opening rotation (FX-66.965) to cruise the rest of the way, averaging well over 68 points on each of their last five events. It wasn't easy, but Oklahoma (410.991) won a relative squeaker over Illinois (408.824), Penn State (404.79), Ohio State (403.959), Iowa (400.451) and Cal (395.991). The runner-up Illini continued their late-season charge to finish less than [...more]

Illinois (413.90) put on a show reminiscent of their 2012 NCAA Men's Gymnastics championship season. The Illini erupted for season highs on VT (72.00) and HB (70.15) to clinch their first Big Ten team title in six years over surprise runner-up Michigan (408.60), Penn State (406.35), Ohio State (405.60), Minnesota (405.45), Nebraska (404.75) and Iowa (398.55). Their VT performance, led by Bobby Baker (14.95) and Jacob Light (14.65) was one thing, but it was their explosion on HB that provided the largest chunk of their winning margin. The Illini became only the second team this season to hit the [...more]
As we head into the NCAA Men's Gymnastics post season, let's take a look at how well this year's freshman class is doing. Eight gymnasts are currently ranked in the top 10 on events and the all-around. Minnesota's Shane Wiskus, Big Ten Gymnast of the Year and a Senior National Team member, is ranked on three different events (FX,VT,PB) and is also near the top in the all-around. Based on Road to National's ranking system, each gymnast must have turned in at least four scores to obtain a [...more]
