NORMAN, Okla. The No. 4 Oklahoma men's gymnastics team travelled to Iowa City, Iowa on Saturday, Jan. 31 and came out victorious against the No. 5 Iowa Hawkeyes. The Sooners (5-0) scored their second consecutive 217 score (217.500) to defeat Iowa (214.550) for the second time in 2004. The two met in the season opener at the Rocky Mountain Open and the Sooners won by a tenth of a point.
“We are always pleased with a victory, especially one on the road,” said Oklahoma head coach Mark Williams. “This is definitely a better performance than the last time we travelled (211.400 at Rocky Mountain Open) but that does not mean we did not mistakes today. There are some things we still need to work on to become more consistent in competition.”
The Sooners posted their high event score on the high bar, with a 36.975. OU won every event as a team including the high bar except for the floor exercise and the vault. The Sooners have now defeated 43 straight opponents, including 28 now on the road. The last time OU lost a collegiate meet occurred back on March 9, 2002 at Stanford.
OU's top performer in the all-around was junior David Henderson. The 2002 All-American on still rings was third in the competition with a 51.700.
Junior Josh Gore was the other Sooner to collect first place honors. Gore recorded a 9.350 on the parallel bars for the victory. That mark tied Gore's career high and it was also the second time this season that he has scored a 9.350 on the parallel bars. Gore was also second on the pommel horse (9.200).
Other top five finishers for OU included senior Quinn Rowell setting a career-high on the high bar (9.625-2nd) and sophomore Jamie Henderson (9.350-3rd) also on the high bar. Henderson also won the still rings competition with a 9.250. Senior Jock Stevens' 9.100 on the floor exercise gave him second place and senior Brian Trause was also second with a 9.075 on the parallel bars and fourth on the pommel horse with a career-high 9.100.
“We are looking forward to a week off before our next team meet,” said Williams. “Some of our individuals will compete at the Winter Cup in Las Vegas but as a team we will use this time to improve upon our mistakes made today. Our next meet at Ohio State will be a challenge and we are looking forward to this week off to prepare and perform better in that meet.”
The men return to action against current-No. 1 Ohio State in Columbus, Ohio on Friday, Feb. 13 at 7 p.m. In the mean time, senior co-captain Heath Mueller, junior David Henderson, sophomore Jamie Henderson and junior Mubarak Abdullah-Simmons will compete at the Winter Cup (Individual Competition) in Las Vegas, Nev. on Feb. 5-7. Also competing will be 2003 Nissen Emery Award winner and former Sooner Daniel Furney and current assistant coach Guard Young.
