NCAA Men's Gymnastics Competition Results

Over the weekend of April 10, the men had their NCAA gymnastics championships held at the Lloyd Noble Center on the campus of the University of Oklahoma. At the team competition on Saturday, April 10, the University of Oklahoma won the title. This was very exciting for this college as they have not won a title since 2008. Their head coach, Mark Williams, celebrated the win with his team. In second place was Stanford University followed by Penn State.

As far as the individual competition, U.S. Senior National Team Member Akash Modi from Stanford University was the all-around champion.  He was followed by the University of Illinois' C.J. Maestas, and Bobby Baker who finished second and third.

As the sport of gymnastics is very challenging, some individuals had a great competition and others did not. Gymnasts are strong and are able to work through difficult situations. Those who struggled at this competition will keep their heads up and improve on the years to come.
