The Oklahoma Sooners’ women’s gymnastics program has finally put behind the dark days. After last year’s poor showing, questions were being raised about whether the team could redeem themselves. Well, just a year later, the Sooners are almost on the verge of clinching the NCAA title. Ranked number 2, the Sooners were perfectly poised to make an impact. Going up against the likes of Alabama, Missouri, and Florida, the task was not easy at all for K.J Kindler and her team. But as they edged out the competition, Kindler not only praised her own girls, but also did spare a thought for her rivals.
Now then, coming to the Sooners, it was an impeccable display of gymnastics. Led by Jordan Bowers and Faith Torrez, the Sooners put up a massive score of 197.550. While outshining the competition, Bowers and Torrez chimed in with scores of 39.7125 and 39.6375, respectively. Bowers emerged as the all-around champion while Torrez followed suit by clinching the number 2 spot. Surely, such a fantastic display of gymnastics has made their head coach extremely happy. And while Kindler was elated for the Sooners, she also heaped praises on Missouri.
As a matter of fact, Missouri finished second with a score of 197. 300. Advancing to the finals, the girls from Missouri were excited about one particular thing. This was the first time they managed to make it to the NCAA finals. And exuding a proper sportsman’s gesture, Kindler gave Missouri their flowers. Recalling the day when she experienced the feelings of making it to the finals for the first time, Kindler said, “I remember that moment myself and I’m getting emotional just thinking about it.” Kindler congratulated the entire team on their impeccable victory. Now, both Kindler and her team will be looking to move on and keep up with the good work in the finals.
