Biles, 26, is also the the oldest woman ever to capture the title.
SAN JOSE — When it was all over and Simone Biles had finished her magical performance on the floor at the SAP Center, San Jose let her hear it.
It was her record-setting eighth all-around national championship. She won her first in 2013. Now, at 26, she’s the oldest woman ever to capture the title. Her 15.400 score on the floor was the final brush stroke on her masterpiece of a weekend. Over two days she totaled a 118.450, almost four points higher than Shilese Jones, the 21-year-old from Seattle who might’ve had the performance of her life but will go home with only silver to show for it.
