Oklahoma demonstrated its gymnastics prowess throughout the competition. After leading following the second rotation, the team extended its advantage during the vault segment, showcasing impressive performances from its athletes.

Individual Performances

• Faith Torrez excelled with a standout score of 9.9375 on her Yurchenko 1.5, a significant comeback after her fall during last year’s semifinals.
• Audrey Davis secured a score of 9.9250 on her Jaeger on bars, contributing to the team’s overall success.
• Jordan Bowers rounded out the final rotation with a score of 9.8875, which was crucial in clinching the championship.

The combined efforts of Torrez and Bowers were instrumental in breaking the tie with UCLA after the first rotation, as both delivered stellar performances on the floor exercise.

Final Standings and Performance Overview

This championship victory adds to Oklahoma’s impressive legacy, with their seven titles now tied for the third-most in NCAA gymnastics history alongside UCLA. Utah, with a rich history of nine national titles, finished fourth, while Missouri’s performance marked its highest finish ever at a national championship.

Throughout the season, the Sooners faced minimal setbacks, recording only two losses to the reigning national champion, LSU. However, LSU was eliminated earlier in the tournament, paving the way for Oklahoma and their competitors to contend for the title.

Legacy of Excellence

This championship victory marks an exceptional achievement under the leadership of K.J. Kindler, Oklahoma’s head coach since 2006. Kindler has consistently guided the Sooners, leading them to their first championship in 2014 and subsequent titles in 2016, 2017, 2019, 2021, 2023, and now 2025. Furthermore, the team has finished as runners-up in 2013, 2018, and 2021, demonstrating their sustained excellence in collegiate gymnastics.
