NORMAN – The Oklahoma women's gymnastics team is ranked No. 1 in the nation for the ninth consecutive week. Beginning last week, rankings are now determined by national qualifying scores (NQS).

NQS is based on a team's six best regular season scores, three of which must be away. The overall high score is eliminated, and the five remaining scores are averaged. NQS scores are used to determine seeding for NCAA regional competition at six campus sites on April 2-4.
