NORMAN - For the first time in 2022, the Oklahoma women's gymnastics team is the No. 1 team in the nation. After posting back-to-back scores of 198-plus, including a season-best 198.475, the Sooners moved into the top spot with a 198.080 national qualifying score (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 in April.
