Less than 24 hours after helping the Fighting Illini men's gymnastics team to its first national title in more than two decades, freshman C.J. Maestas became Illinois' first-ever NCAA still rings champion, while redshirt senior Paul Ruggeri matched his career high on vault to earn his fourth NCAA crown in his final performance as an Illini Saturday night at the Lloyd Noble Center.

Five other Illini finished in the top eight on their respective events to earn All-America honors. Juniors Yoshi Mori (fifth; pommel horse) and Austin Phillips (eighth; high bar) and sophomores Jordan Valdez (fifth; high bar) and Chad Mason (eighth; pommel horse) earned the first event honors of their career, while senior Anthony Sacramento (eighth; rings) became a rings All-American for the third straight year.
