Dodanli, Benas Top National Rankings, Sooners No. 2
March 18, 2024 | Men's Gymnastics
NORMAN – The Oklahoma men's gymnastics team is ranked No. 2 in the national rankings this week, but junior Emre Dodanli continues to lead the country on floor exercise and redshirt sophomore Fuzzy Benas tops the rankings in the all-around again this week.
Teams and individuals are ranked again this week based on a four-score system, two of which must be from away meets. The highest score is dropped, and the remaining three scores are averaged. OU's average of 414.533 includes its 417.800 scored against California on Feb. 10, its 415.300 scored against Navy on March 9 and its 410.500 at Stanford/vs. Cal on March 16.
Oklahoma, which leads the nation in four events, sits behind No. 2 Stanford (415.133), which took over the top spot after scoring a 421.150 on Saturday, No. 3 Michigan (411.350), No. 4 Illinois (411.017) and No. 5 Nebraska (410.217).
The Sooners hold the national lead on floor exercise (70.133), pommel horse (69.850), vault (72.417) and horizontal bar (68.933). OU ranks third on parallel bars (68.267) and fourth on still rings (67.650).
Individually, redshirt sophomore Fuzzy Benas leads the nation in the all-around with his 82.317 four-score average.
Junior Emre Dodanli leads the nation in floor exercise with his 14.983 average. He has recorded each of the four highest floor exercise scores nationally this season, with three scores of 15.000 or higher (15.250 on Jan. 20, 15.050 on Feb. 10 and 15.000 on March 16). He remains the only gymnast nationally to score at least a 15.000 on floor exercise even once since the 2021 campaign. Freshman Nico Hamilton ranks fifth nationally on floor exercise with his 14.083 average, while fifth-year senior Jack Freeman ranks seventh with his average of 14.050.
Sophomore Ignacio Yockers ranks second nationally on pommel horse with his 14.950 average, while senior Zach Nunez ranks fourth with a 14.467 average. Freshman Tas Hajdu ranks sixth on still rings (13.950). On vault, Dodanli ranks fifth (14.750), freshman Max Bereznev ranks eighth (14.633) and Benas ranks 10th (14.600).
Benas ranks third in the country on parallel bars (14.333) and sophomore Kelton Christiansen ranks second nationally on high bar (14.200). Freeman ranks third (14.167) and Dodanli ranks fourth (14.117) on high bar.
Oklahoma will take the next two weekends off from competition, and sets its sights on the MPSF Championship, which will be held April 6 at McCasland Field House. The meet, featuring No. 1 Stanford, No. 2 Oklahoma, No. 8 California and No. 10 Air Force, is set for a 2 p.m. start. Tickets are priced at $10 for adults and $5 for youth and seniors, and can be purchased at SoonerSports.com.
