OU supplants Cardinal for No. 1
by   |  February 18, 2011  |  

There’s a new No. 1 in men’s gymnastics: the Oklahoma Sooners.

In Monday’s rankings, No. 4 OU displaced previous No. 1 Stanford. The Sooners are set to face off with the Cardinal this weekend in Palo Alto, Calif.

To reach the top spot, the Sooners (6-0) jumped ahead of Stanford, Illinois and Penn State with a big win over No. 9 Nebraska and No. 13 Illinois-Chicago last weekend. OU also is the top-ranked squad on the floor and vault, and senior Steven Legendre is currently the nation’s top all-around gymnast.

Oklahoma has been ranked No. 1 in men’s gymnastics at some point during each of the past seven seasons.

One-loss Stanford, now No. 3, will host the undefeated Sooners at 9 p.m. Saturday.
