With two weekend competitions for the Sooners, Webb won a total of eight event titles and earned two perfect 10s. In her final meet at home, she notched her second career perfect 10 on beam. She added a 9.9 on vault and a 39.5 in the all-around to earn three event titles as the Sooners took down No. 11 BYU.

On Sunday, Webb had a career night, posting an incredible 39.850 in the all-around to tie for the second-highest score in the nation in 2021. Along with her all-around title, Webb swept the event titles with her second perfect 10 on vault, a career-high 9.975 on bars, a 9.925 on beam and a career-high 9.95 on floor.

The senior now has four career perfect 10s, including two on vault. On the weekend, Webb notched a career high on every event and in the all-around. Her scores boosted the Sooners into a tie for No. 1 in this week’s rankings. Individually, Webb ranks second in the nation on vault and beam, and is third in the all-around.
