NORMAN — Levi Anderson saw an Olympian break his leg on a vault routine in 2016 and thought, “I’m going to give this a try.”
“He broke his leg because he was crooked in the air and I figured with my trampoline background, that I would possibly be able to get it,” Anderson said.
Anderson gave the routine a try and has been using it ever since.
Saturday, the Oklahoma senior used it for a season-high 15.250 to win the event and help lift the top-ranked Sooners to the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation title at McCasland Field House.
