The overall team score was the national-high this year, as were the team efforts on rings (60.600) and vault (64.250). Tim Gentry guided the evening with a 2010 NCAA-high of 16.3 on vault and second-best 15.7 on rings for a pair of individual titles. The Cardinal also hit a season-high on parallel bars (58.6). Stanford has a pair of tri-meets this weekend, taking on Illinois-Chicago and Air Force Friday (Mar. 5) at the Academy, followed by Nebraska and No. 1 Oklahoma Sunday (Mar. 7) in Lincoln.

#1 OKLAHOMA (8-0) posted the second highest score in the nation this season with a 359.450 this past Saturday in a home win over No. 6 Minnesota (344.850). Junior Steven Legendre claimed his first all-around title of the year (89.500), winning the floor (16.10) and parallel bars (14.90) along the way. Freshman Jake Dalton won vault (16.15), junior Ian Jackson won rings (15.15) for his second title of 2010, and senior Corey English won the horse (14.70) in his final home meet. The Sooners swept all six team events for the third time this year. Oklahoma joins Stanford in a trip to Lincoln, NE, Sunday (Mar. 7) for an MPSF tri-meet with Nebraska.

#14 AIR FORCE (0-7) traveled to club team Arizona State last Saturday, where it was the Nash Mills show en route to a 335.900-333.600 dual win. The junior claimed three event titles, including an all-time academy record on parallel bars (14.900). Mills also won the high bar with a season-high (13.800) and all-around with a career-high (86.300). He added career-marks on rings (14.800) for second, and horse (13.55) for third, helping the team to season-highs in each event. The Falcons, who also posted season-best team totals on floor and overall, host Stanford and Illinois-Chicago in a Friday tri-meet, followed by a Sunday dual with the Flames.

#9 NEBRASKA (7-3) was off last week, and hosts an MPSF tri-meet against the nation's top-two teams, No. 1 Oklahoma and No. 2 Stanford.

#8 CALIFORNIA (1-5) is coming off a bye week, and travels to No. 5 Ohio State Saturday (Mar. 6) for a dual meet with the Buckeyes.
