COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) Oklahoma successfully defended its NCAA men's gymnastics title with a dominant performance in the finals.

The Sooners scored 443.4 points Saturday night to beat runner-up Stanford by slightly more than 10 points for their 10th national title. It was the widest margin since the current scoring system started in 2008.

Oklahoma joined Penn State (12) and Illinois (10) as the only schools with at least 10 team championships.

Yul Moldauer led Oklahoma with the top all-around score of 89.1. The Sooners also had the top three scores on floor exercise with Colin Van Wicklen (15.3), Kanji Oyama (15.1) and Moldauer (15.0).

Stanford scored 434.05 points to edge third-place Ohio State (433.05). The Cardinal had the top score on two events: Akash Modi on parallel bars (15.3) and Dennis Zaremski on rings (15.45).
