NORMAN — In its first competition since Jan. 30, the No. 1 Oklahoma men's gymnastics team beat No. 11 William & Mary by a score of 403.700-384.900 Saturday afternoon in Williamsburg, Va.

The Sooners won all six events as a team and posted at least two of the top individual scores on each event in improving to 4-0 on the season.

"I think we're getting back on track after a long layoff," said OU head coach Mark Williams, who worked in multiple freshmen and watched junior Spencer Goodell bring home the all-around title with a score of 80.000.

OU started on pommel horse and posted a team total of 63.900. Junior Vitaliy Guimaraes won the event with a 13.650. He was followed by freshman Zach Nunez and junior Morgan Seyler, who recorded respective scores of 13.400 and 13.200.

In the second rotation, the Sooners put up multiple season-high scores on floor exercise. Seyler tied his season best with a 14.450 while Goodell and sophomore Jack Freeman set outright season highs with respective scores of 14.250 and 14.150. Additionally, redshirt junior Mason Menser made his career debut on the event and finished with a 13.350. Oklahoma totaled a 69.050 for the rotation.

The team showed its strength on vault with a 70.850, good for the highest score of the day on any event. Menser and Seyler tied their career bests with a 14.650 and 14.550, respectively. Freeman (14.250) made his season debut on the event while freshman Zach Nunez's vault appearance was the first of his career (13.950).

In the fourth rotation, the Sooners produced a 67.000 on still rings and were led by Guimaraes' career high of 14.100. It marked the highest rings score by a Sooner this season (the previous high was 13.900 by Matt Wenske vs. Air Force). Freeman earned a 13.600, also good for a career best.

OU moved to high bar for the fifth rotation of the day. Guimaraes secured another event title and set another career-best score with a 13.850. Goodell's 13.100 also marked a career high and matched the score of senior Alexei Vernyi. The Sooners tallied a 65.350.

The Sooners closed the meet with a 67.550 on parallel bars and were paced by Noah Giordano. The freshman, who was making his OU debut on any event, scored a meet-high 13.750. Guimaraes and Goodell followed with a 13.650 each, and Nunez scored a 13.500 in his first collegiate parallel bars performance.

"I'm looking forward to next weekend when we meet Stanford at home," said Williams. The Sooners and No. 3-ranked Cardinal will square off Saturday, March 13 at 1 p.m. CT inside McCasland Field House.
