Men's Results: Stanford upsets Oklahoma


Oklahoma has remained undefeated and ranked number one all season but tonight at the 2014 Metroplex, third ranked Stanford claimed first over OU 445.15 to 442.4. Arizona State took third with a 404.95, a season high for them. Stanford's score was a season high for them as well and they are the only team other than Oklahoma to score higher than a 445 this year. 

Akash Modi of Stanford is ranked first in all-around but only competed four events tonight. However, he won two of those events scoring a 15.15 on pommel horse for first and a 15.05 on parallel bars for first. Colin Van Wicklen of Oklahoma won floor with a 15.55. Michael Squires of Oklahoma won rings with a huge 16.1 and is currently ranked second in the nation on this event. Sean Sentors of Stanford took first on vault with a 15.15. Stanton Rehkemper of Oklahoma took first on high bar with a 15.35. Oklahoma freshman Allan Bower took the all-around title with an 87.8 in his second meet competing all-around this season.

Stanford was behind in the first two rotations but with a solid showing on every single event, they were able to outscore the Sooners. Stanford's floor score, 75.8, was their highest score this season. They also set a team season high on rings with a 75.55, lead by Dennis Zaremski's 15.8. Stanford also scored a huge 74.6 on high bar with three scores above a 15. This high bar score is the second highest in the nation this year, Ohio State scored a rare 75.1 at Michigan two weekends ago. 

While Oklahoma had some shinning moments, they also struggled and weren't able to pull out the win. On floor they scored a huge 76.5, the second highest team floor score in the nation this season, only below their 76.55 last weekend at home. Oklahoma finished on parallel bars where they had some uncharacteristic struggles and totaled a 70.35, their lowest parallel bars score of the year.
