Benas Celebration

April 05, 2022 | Men's Gymnastics

NORMAN – After a review of tie-breaking rules, freshman Fuzzy Benas has been named the MPSF conference vault champion for his performance at the MPSF Championship in Palo Alto, Calif., on Saturday.


In the NCAA, a tiebreaker is determined by the higher execution, not difficulty, score of the two tied scores. Benas and Stanford's Taylor Burkhart scored a 14.850 on their vaults. However, Burkhart was awarded the title at the meet because of his higher difficulty score.

Benas owned the higher execution score on the event. After reviewing their scores, Benas has been award the vault title, his first individual conference crown.

Benas also notched second on floor, after he was awarded third at the meet for tying with Stanford's Colt Walker at 14.700. His higher execution score now wins the tiebreaker as well.

This is the freshman's fourth vault title of the season and thirteenth individual event title of his first-year campaign.
