After an intense season, the Oklahoma Sooners are back at the top of the leaderboard once again. The semi final came with its own set of drama, as previous champions Michigan Wolverines were sent back home on Thursday, making it all come down to the Saturday meet.

Individual all-around Champion Trinity Thomas led a strong team of Florida Gators, as they took on Suni Lee’s Auburn University and Utah Utes. It came down right at the end of the final rotation. However, Oklahoma managed to edge out Florida of the title, with Trinity Thomas earning her second 10 of the night.
