NORMAN – Though Oklahoma men's gymnastics did not compete last week, it remained No. 1 in the national rankings heading into MPSF Championships.  

With the USAG National Team Finals and Michigan hosting UIC on Saturday, 11 NCAA programs were in action this past weekend.

The national rankings are determined by a team's “four-score average,” and OU posts a national-best 414.933 heading into the postseason. 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.
