Penn St. wins record 11th gymnastics title



CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) -- Penn State dominated the men's NCAA gymnastics championship, winning the team title and individual all-around, and then capping the weekend with Kevin Tan's gold on the still rings.
The Nittany Lions won their NCAA-record 11th title Saturday night, finishing more than a point ahead of two-time champion Oklahoma and top-ranked Illinois. Just how big is that margin? Think of a 20-point win in the Final Four, and you get the picture.
Sophomore Luis Vargas won the all-around title and then added a silver on the pommel horse Sunday.
He had a chance to win the parallel bars final, but dropped to fourth after botching his dismount and landing on his backside. Tan gave the Nittany Lions their final gold, winning the still rings with a 9.812, the highest score in any event Sunday.
