Palo Alto Brawl

It’s impossible to beat Oklahoma. … That’s what we used to think. 🙂

Ron Noe:

If there has been a better dual meet in the last decade or so, I want to hear about it. …

And it did go all the way to the finish, thanks to Robert Neff, Stanford’s anchorman on high bar.  Neff not only became just the fifth gymnast to hit for 15 on that event this season, but he destroyed the previous NCAA high score.  Neff’s 15.50 enabled Stanford (432.05) to come within .25 of tying the top-ranked Sooners (433.30). …

Beam music in College

Many teams use personalized music in training and at home meets.

When Hayley Sanders steps up to the balance beam and the booming beat of Lil Mama’s 2007 hit “Lip Gloss” resonates through Stegeman Coliseum, the crowd knows it’s in for a treat.

As a spark of energy quickly spreads through the arena, Sanders begins her routine. She sees it as her moment to contribute to a successful team performance.

“I only hear it for like the first, maybe, 15 seconds, and then I block everything out,” Sanders said. …
