WOODLAND, Calif. - After winning the USAG national title on the floor exercise, claiming two additional USAG All-America awards and setting the Academy record on the parallel bars, senior Josh Ramos was named the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Gymnast of the Week on Tuesday, March 24.
Ramos claimed the third USAG national title of his career on Saturday, March 21, as he matched a career-high of 15.100 to win the floor exercise. It was one of three USAG medals for the native of Broken Arrow, Okla., who also finished second on the parallel bars (14.600) and third on the high bar (14.400).
The national title on the floor exercise came one day after the senior shattered the program standard on the parallel bars, scoring a 15.600 during the team finals. In addition to improving the Academy record by 0.350 points, that score is the fourth-highest total in the nation this season.
Ramos, the 2015 USAG Varsity Gymnast of the Year, was one of five individual event champions for Air Force at the USAG Collegiate National Championships, as the squad recorded the second-highest score in program history (432.850) to capture its sixth-straight team title by over 20 points.
Air Force remains at the Academy this weekend to host the 2015 Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Championships. The meet, which features four of the nation's top 10 teams, will begin at 5:00 p.m.
