Oklahoma Wins Its 12th NCAA Title

(3 votes, average 3.67 out of 5)

BY JIM HOLT

CHICAGO—Oklahoma hasn't lost a meet since it placed second at the 2014 NCAA Championships. The closest the Sooners came to losing this season was at Ohio State in Columbus, where they won, 413.650-412.700.

In a much closer than expected competition, Oklahoma prevailed over its rivals again, and a fired-up Minnesota squad took advantage of an Illinois group that faltered on high bar late in the competition.

For most of the evening, the atmosphere was electric. The crowd of 4,193 spectators were assembled in groups of team supporters, and the shouts of “We are Penn State!” and “Boomer, Sooner!” energized athletes, officials and fans alike.

Said NCAA representative John Bugner: “This is my third men's championship and it's by far the best one I’ve been to."

"This is the best experience ever," said Yul Moldauer of Oklahoma, who won the all-around title. "We’ve had, and I’ve had, success, but tonight is No. 1 for me."

Now Oklahoma has won four straight NCAA Championships to tie Penn State with the most at 12 titles. Illinois is next with 10.

The Sooners scored 414.858, and there was a close battle for the next two places. Minnesota finished second with 411.923, and Illinois placed third with 411.689.

Said Minnesota coach Mike Burns: "We had it going tonight. This is only the third time in Minnesota history that we finished in second; the first time was when Newt Loken was on the team (1941)."

Stanford scored 408.589 for fourth, Nebraska finished fifth with 403.589 and Penn State placed sixth with 401.991.

Yul Moldauer of Oklahoma grabbed the all-around crown with 87.298, and Minnesota freshman Shane Wiskus placed second with 83.064. Alec Yoder of Ohio State finished third with 82.631.

Nissen-Emery Award winner Sean Melton (Ohio State) and a rough all-around meet. He fell on his tucked double-double rings dismount and fell forward on his handspring-double front vault. He placed eighth with 81.498.

UCLA Wins NCAAs In Dramatic Flair

(1 vote, average 5.00 out of 5)

BY TRAVIS SEEFRIED

ST. LOUIS—UCLA captured its 7th NCAA title in an exciting, dramatic competition that came down to the final balance beam routine of Peng-Peng Lee's illustrious collegiate career. After scoring a perfect 10 on bars in rotation 5, Lee closed the meet with a second 10 on beam to clinch the title over two-time defending champion, Oklahoma by just 0.0375 (198.075 to 198.0375).

The Bruins began their night on floor that was highlighted by Katelyn Ohashi's 9.95 for her Michael Jackson inspired routine. After moving to vault, UCLA recorded its lowest score of the night, with all six gymnasts scoring in the 9.8 range. Most teams would not have been able to bounce back. Then again, UCLA is not like most teams.

The Bruins came back on bars with the highest team score of the night (49.6375) highlighted by Kyla Ross's 9.95 and Lee's perfect 10. UCLA kept the momentum going into their final event, the beam. Despite a fall early in the lineup from Madison Kocian, the Bruins put on a beam clinic to record the highest event total of the night (49.75) and win their first team title since 2010.

Defending champion Oklahoma finished second with a consistent, if not spectacular competition. After posting a low (for them) 49.425 beam total, the Sooners posted the highest team totals on floor exercise and vault. Even an outstanding bar rotation (second to UCLA) wasn't enough to secure the hat trick Oklahoma was expected by so many to achieve. Still, it was the closest team final in the history of the Super Six finals.

Florida, like Oklahoma, had a great competition as well with every counting score a 9.80 or higher. One has to wonder what would have happened if the Gators had not lost senior Kennedy Baker to an injury (Achilles) in late February. It was great to see the Gators come together and rally as a team and win third place (197.85), just 0.225 from first.

LSU finished in fourth (197.835), just out of the medals and 0.0125 from third place. Floor was the highest scoring event for the Tigers (49.5125) with Sarah Finnegan and Myia Hambrick pitching in a pair of 9.95s.

Utah and Nebraska rounded out the field with a 196.90 and a 196.80, respectively. Neither team never really had a chance to challenge the top four teams but showed an incredible display of great gymnastics. Utah's best event was beam (49.35), while Nebraska rocked floor with their highest score of the evening (49.40).

Onyshko, Allaire-Bourgie Win Gymnix Titles

(3 votes, average 5.00 out of 5)

Canadians Isabela Onyshko and Zoé Allaire-Bourgie captured the all-around titles at the 27th International Gymnix, which concluded Sunday in Montreal. Pictured: Allaire-Bourgie won the Junior Cup divsion over Italy's Asia D'Amato and Russia's Viktoria Listunova

Canadians Isabela Onyshko and Zoé Allaire-Bourgie captured the all-around titles at the 27th International Gymnix, which concluded Sunday in Montréal.

The annual competition for women brought nearly 100 gymnasts from 13 nations to the city's Complexe Sportif Claude-Robillard to compete in two international divisions: the Gymnix Challenge and the Junior Cup. The competition also includes a large age-group event for young gymnasts.

Onyshko, a 2016 Olympian from Manitoba's Brandon Eagles Gymnastics, won the Gymnix Challenge (54.134) over Gym-Richelieu's Victoria-Kayen Woo (53.885). Russian-born Irina Alexeeva, who trains at WOGA in Texas, won the bronze, just a shade behind Woo (53.867).

Alexeeva, a first-year senior, won uneven bars (beautiful full Ono to piked Jaeger) and floor exercise (double layout) in Sunday's event finals.

World and Olympic vault finalist Shallon Olsen (Vancouver's Omega) won vault after placing fifth all-around. American Kayla DiCello of Hill's Gymnastics finished fourth all-around and won balance beam.

Italy returned to Gymnix with its incredible junior arsenal for 2020: twins Alice and Asia D'Amato, Elisa Iorio and Giorgia Villa. The forti foursome, who will be seniors in 2019, captured the Junior Cup team title over Russia and Canada.

Gymnix's own Allaire-Bourgie won the Junior Cup all-around title. Allaire-Bourgie, who turns 14 on September 27, scored 53.935 to edge Asia D'Amato by just .1, with Viktoria Listunova close behind (53.701).

Allaire-Bourgie, a native of Bangkok, added the silver medal on uneven bars and the gold medal on balance beam in Sunday's finals.

Russia's Yelena Gerasimova finished fourth (53.268) ahead of Villa (52.668), who lost the title with just 11.600 on balance beam. In event finals, Gerasimova won uneven bars while Villa missed her sensational routine to finish fourth.

Asia D'Amato performed a double-twisting Yurchenko and very clean layout Podkopayeva to win the vault title over Villa, while Listunova won floor exercise.

Tokyo hopeful Chiaki Hatakeda (Japan), who will turn 16 in 2020, finished eighth all-around after a missed routine on uneven bars (11.734). She won the silver on floor exercise and bronze medals on vault and balance beam.
