NORMAN – The Oklahoma women's gymnastics team remained the No. 1 team in the nation after a tri-meet victory over Arizona State and Boise State Friday night in Tempe, Ariz. The Sooners hold a 198.080 national qualifying score (NQS) and will have one more opportunity to improve that score before postseason competition begins.

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 in April.
