Wenske Named MPSF Gymnast of the Week

NORMAN — Oklahoma redshirt junior Matt Wenske was named the MPSF Gymnast of the Week on Tuesday morning, the conference announced.

The honor comes after Wenske posted an 80.500 in the all-around competition against No. 2 Michigan in Ann Arbor, Mich., on Saturday.

The Houston native collected one career high and two season bests on the weekend. Wenske led the way for the Sooners on still rings with a second-place 14.200. The score was his first career rings mark above 14.000 and a 2020 team best. On floor, Wenske posted a season-high 13.950, while he tied for third place with another season high on vault (14.600).

The award marks Wenske's first career MPSF weekly honor and the Sooners' first of the season.

OU takes a break from NCAA competition this weekend to send four current and four post-graduate gymnasts to compete at the Winter Cup in Las Vegas, Nev., Feb. 20-22.

Oklahoma will continue NCAA competition on Saturday, March 14, when they host Air Force at 3 p.m. CT at McCasland Field House.
