Eclipsing 400.000 as a team just two days ago, No. 16 Stanford men’s gymnastics (4-1, 2-0 MPSF) finally proved to the nation that it can defend its 2019 national championship. The Cardinal became just the fourth team in the nation — behind No. 1 Oklahoma, No. 2 Michigan and No. 3 Nebraska — to crack 410.000 as a team, defeating Cal (4-2, 0-2 MPSF) 412.500 – 386.100 on Sunday.
The team was lights-out in Burnham Pavilion as it set season highs on floor exercise, still rings and parallel bars en route to a season-high team total.
