February 05, 2024 | Men's Gymnastics
NORMAN – The Oklahoma men's gymnastics team returned to the No. 1 spot in the national rankings this week, with a three-score average of 412.833.
The Sooners scored a 411.500 on Saturday night against No. 6 Ohio State and club program Arizona State. OU has registered the highest team score in the nation this season with its 420.350 at the Rocky Mountain Open on Jan. 20.
Oklahoma, which leads the nation in two events, sits ahead of Michigan (409.333), Illinois (408.483), Stanford (407.300) and Penn State (399.433). This is the first week of the season that teams and individuals are ranked based on their three highest scores of the season. Only teams and individuals who have three qualifying scores on each event and the all-around are listed in the national rankings.
The Sooners hold the national lead on floor exercise (69.117) and pommel horse (69.550), and rank second on vault (71.767), parallel bars (67.933) and high bar (67.850) and fourth on still rings (66.950).
Individually, junior Emre Dodanli leads the nation on floor exercise with his 14.833 average, while senior Jack Freeman ranks fourth with his 14.050 average. Sophomore Ignacio Yockers leads the country on pommel horse (14.633) while senior Zach Nunez ranks second (14.567) and freshman Tyler Flores ranks seventh (13.800). Dodanli also ranks first nationally on high bar (14.100), while sophomore Kelton Christiansen ranks fourth (13.883) and Freeman ranks seventh (13.733).
Fifth-year senior Jack Freeman is tied for third nationally in floor average (14.300), while Benas ranks fifth (14.100). Senior Zach Nunez ranks third on pommel horse (14.525) and sophomore Ignacio Yockers ranks fifth (14.400). On still rings, freshman Tas Hajdu ranks sixth with his 15.125 average.
Freshman Colin Flores ranks second in the nation on parallel bars with his 14.067 average, and Dodanli ranks third on vault with his 14.783 average. Freshman Max Bereznev, who tied for the nation's best vault score on Saturday night with his 15.000 stick, ranks fifth on the event (14.683). Freshman Tas Hajdu ranks fourth on still rings (14.033) and sophomore Adriel Perales-Valencia ranks sixth (13.733).
Colin Flores, who scored an 80.300 in the all-around on Saturday night, is one of only two gymnasts nationally to score 80 or better in the all-around twice this season. Benas' 85.200 remains the highest all-around score in the country this season.
Oklahoma will compete at McCasland Field House again next Saturday against MPSF foe California. The meet is set for a 1:45 p.m. start.
