Wow! That takes me back! Before I was accepted to Stanford, I was aware of the tennis teams\' success, and the success of Debi Thomas, but the NCAA men\'s gymnastics championship was the first event I watched (on TV), after being admitted.

Big margin for error based on the prelims, but the first few rotations have not gone that well.

Oklahoma had a bad rotation on the Horizontal bar yesterday. Â If they clean that up and Stanford continues to underperform....

Already C.a.l is the only other team with a chance.

Farm93--

Right now, Stanford\'s hammering the floor exercise. And of the three teams to compete in each apparatus that Stanford has scored in, Stanford has won all three by a margin of at least .8 as a team.

But it\'ll come down to the vault, Stanford\'s final apparatus, I think.

EDIT: and as I posted that, Illinois edged them in the parallel bars, 60-59.950.

Uh, huh! Â They rocked it! Â Much higher team score on the Floor than last night. Â Any improvement is great news because last night\'s score was more than enough. Â Better yet, Oklahoma was as bad on the H bar as yesterday.

The margin of error is reasonably decent at this point. Â 3 rotations to go! Â The vault is a rotation free of big deduction possibilities, so I am thrilled that is their last rotation.

Crap. Hope we didn\'t offend the woofing gods, cuz they just blew up on the pommel horse. 56.5, after a 58.7 yesterday.

Eep.

EDIT: And Oklahoma just killed the floor, a 62.9 to Stanford\'s 62.45. Â Hoping they fall off a bit on the pommel horse as well.

A stellar rotation on the vault clinches #100!

Looks like we are up over Oklahoma 363.450 to 361.600 with each team having one more athlete on one event to go.

That is, if I am reading things right ...

- - - All Around still going on

UPDATE
Stanford 363.450
Oklahoma 361.600

YES! :)

A national championship is impressive in its own right for the men\'s gymnastics team, but well done for being the milestone victors in Stanford history!
