WEST POINT, N.Y., April 17, 2010 – The University of Michigan won its fourth NCAA men’s team title, posting a total team score of 360.500 at the 2010 National Collegiate Men’s Gymnastics Championships held at the United States Military Academy in West Point, N.Y. The Wolverines’ Chris Cameron, a member of the U.S. senior national team, won the all-around title. Individual event finals are on Saturday, April 17, at 7 p.m. ESPN2 will broadcast tape-delayed coverage of the men’s national championships on April 23 at 1:30 p.m. ET.
Michigan edged defending national champion Stanford University 360.500 to 359.800 to take the team crown. The University of Oklahoma placed third (357.050) while the University of Illinois took fourth (354.900). The University of California-Berkeley (354.700) and Ohio State (347.350) finished fifth and sixth, respectively.
Michigan scored the top mark on horizontal bar (58.650) and tied Stanford and Oklahoma tied for the top honors floor exercise (61.650). Ohio State recorded the top score on still rings at 59.900. Stanford posted the highest mark on parallel bars at 59.700. Oklahoma earned the top team scores on vault (64.200) and pommel horse (58.250).
