Oklahoma put up its second 70-plus score of the evening on the vault with a score 72.350. In the fourth rotation, Dyer put up a score of 14.750 while performing one of the hardest vaults in the country, a triple-twisting full. This was good enough for Dyer's second event title of the meet.
In the fifth rotation, senior Matt Wenske led the Sooners with a season-best 14.200. Wenske’s score won home the event title.
In the evening’s sixth and final rotation, the Sooners tallied 66.750 led by Guimaraes. The junior put up an event-winning score of 13.750 and took home his second event title of the meet.
