NORMAN, Okla. The Oklahoma men's gymnastics team was named this week's NCAAsports.com Team Spotlight of the Week.  The men are coming off back-to-back victories at the Rocky Mountain Open (Jan. 16-17) and over the Air Force Academy in Norman on Jan. 23.

In their victory over Air Force, the Sooners scored a season-high 217.650 and junior David Henderson won the all-around with a career-high 54.125.  Henderson was also tops on parallel bars, pommel horse and still rings.

Overall, thirteen different career-highs were tied or broken when the defending national champions defeated Air Force.  Among some of those individuals to score well were OU's senior co-captains Heath Mueller and Quinn Rowell.  Mueller, fresh off winning the all-around at the Rocky Mountain Open, recorded career highs on the floor exercise (9.300) and still rings (8.75).  Rowell, a 2002 All-American on high bar, set a new mark in that event with a 9.525 score that earned him a tie for first place on the apparatus with Henderson.

The Sooners, 4-0 on the season, have won 42 straight meets and will return to action on Saturday, Jan. 31 in Iowa City, Iowa to take on the No. 5 Iowa Hawkeyes.

“It is nice to be recognized for our effort and we are just staying focused on the task at hand and that is our matchup on the road with Iowa this weekend,” said Oklahoma head coach Mark Williams.  “Iowa should be an interesting challenge due to the fact that at the Rocky Mountain Open there was one tenth of a point separating us.  It will also have implications towards national rankings and we just want to keep the momentum going from our victory in the home opener against Air Force and post a solid score on the road.”

Last week, OU track and field's DaBryan Blanton was NCAAsports.com Spotlight Athlete of the Week.  It marks the first time since the awards have been given out that a school has been awarded in consecutive weeks for different sports.
