    NATIONAL COLLEGIATE MEN’S GYMNASTICS CHAMPIONSHIPS 2018 Championship 2 History 3 All-Time Team Results 14 2018 CHAMPIONSHIP HIGHLIGHTS Oklahoma's fourth national title makes history: The Sooners clinched their fourth consecutive championship title with a 414.858 first-place finish at the UIC Pavilion in Chicago on April 21, 2018. Oklahoma became just the third program in history to win at least four consecutive national titles (Illinois from 1939 to 1942 and Nebraska from 1979 to 1982). The title is also the Sooners’ 12th overall – tying them with Penn State for most in NCAA history – and the ninth of head coach Mark Williams’ 19-year tenure. Sooner standout, Yul Moldauer, was sensational, becoming the first Oklahoma gymnast to win four individual national titles in one year (floor, vault, parallel bars, all-around). The junior has made his mark posting seven career titles, a program best. Oklahoma defeated Minnesota (411.923), Illinois (411.689), Stanford (408.725), Nebraska (403.589) and Penn State (401.991) in Saturday’s final. The runner-up finish is the best finish for Minnesota since 1990. The Gophers hit on every routine and had 11 named All-Americans, which is a school record. Stanford has maintained a top-5 finish every season since 2006. Moldauer finished first in floor with a score of 15.166, trailed by Illinois’ Sebastian Quiana and Michigan’s Jacob Moore who tied for second with a score of 14.366. Penn State’s Stephen Nedoroscik dominated pommel earning a 14.666, followed by Moldauer’s 14.533 mark. The Nittany Lion sophomore is now a two-time pommel horse national champion.

  • 2021-24 High Performance Plan
    ORGANIZATION OVERVIEW The 2017-2020 Quad was a pivotal period for USA Gymnastics (USAG). The organization faced numerous challenges and experienced extraordinary changes. Despite these challenges our athletes continued to demonstrate athletic excellence highlighted by gold-medal winning performances by the Women’s team and a historic World Championship for Rhythmic in which two athletes finished in the top 10 for the first time ever. The USA Gymnastics that has emerged from the crisis is a new organization led by new leadership with a new athlete-centric mission and a new set of values that prioritizes athlete safety and wellness while still supporting athletes to achieve their athletic dreams. In this High Performance Plan, USA Gymnastics asks for the US Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC)’s support in achieving athletic excellence on the world stage while providing the resources needed to give our elite athletes the holistic mental and physical support they need to thrive, not just on the Olympic stage, but also in life beyond gymnastics.
