The Oklahoma Sooners won the NCAA gymnastics championship, completing a strong season with a score of 198.0125, defeating UCLA by 0.4 points. This victory allowed them to reclaim their status in college gymnastics after last yearâs disappointing early exit. Head coach K.J. Kindler noted that, despite the theme not being about redemption, the team faced the lingering pressure of past failures. They performed exceptionally from the start, showcasing their deep talent and resilience, with standout performances from freshmen like Lily Pederson, who contributed significantly to the team's success.
Oklahoma officially reclaimed its place atop the college gymnastics world by winning the NCAA title on Saturday with a 198.0125 final score, 0.4 better than runner-up UCLA.
Our theme wasn't redemption this year at all. We did our best to put it behind us. It just was following us everywhere and so it was almost impossible.
We talk about [it] all the time that the glory is in getting back up again. This team was capable of this last year. We just failed. And people fail all the time.
We did exactly what we do at the gym every single day, and that led to our success this weekend.
