Oklahoma gymnastics: Sooners hit NCAA season high in defeating Illinois

The win on Saturday was not only the Sooners’ 13th in an unbeaten 2019 season, but also their 168th consecutive victory and 68th straight at McCasland Field House. And the top-ranked OU squad added one more achievement to make victory number 168 in their unprecedented run even more special.

Oklahoma’s winning team score of 425.700 is the highest recorded in NCAA competition this season.

The Sooners actually trailed the Illini after posting a season-low score on pommel horse in the meet’s second rotation. That came after OU had set an NCAA-best team score in floor exercise to take the early lead.
