NORMAN — Anastasia Webb’s performance on the balance beam against Arkansas on Monday didn’t make headlines the next day.
The Oklahoma junior’s score, 9.800, didn’t even wind up being used as one of the five scores to determine the Sooners’ team score on the event. Of the six competitors in each event, only the score of the top five goes into determining the team score.
But the job Webb did in that event on that day was illustrative of one of the things that’s made the Sooners so good in recent years and helped them to continue to hold onto the No.
