NORMAN – The Oklahoma men's gymnastics team returned to No. 1 in this week's national rankings after notching a 412.300 in a road victory against Illinois. Determined by a team's “four-score average,” OU posts a national best 414.267 heading into the final week of the regular season.

Four-score average is based on a team's best four scores, two of which must be away. Each program's overall high score is eliminated, and the remaining four scores are averaged.
