An OU gymnast took home at least a share of each individual title as well. Senior Hollie Vise won the bars and beam titles with a 9.9 and 9.925 respectively, while sharing the floor championship with teammate Jackie Flanery (both scored a 9.9 on the event). Flanery also won the vault championship, sharing the title with teammates Brie Olson and Natalie Ratcliff after the trio posted 9.9s on the apparatus. Host Nebraska finished in second behind the Sooners with a 196.625. Following the meet head coach K.J. Kindler was named Big 12 Coach of the Year while RS-freshman Natasha Kelley was named Big 12 Newcomer of the Year.

No. 8 Oklahoma women's gymnastics posted a 196.125 to win its second-straight Big 12 title, marking the first time Oklahoma has won back-to-back conference titles since it won three-straight Big Eight crowns from 1984-1986.

OU finished ahead of Nebraska (196.075), Missouri (195.925) and host Iowa State (195.775).

Performing the final routine of the night and needing a 9.875 or better for an Oklahoma win, Redmond-Sturms posted a 9.95 on vault as the Sooners clinched their second Big 12 title and first since 2004. It was Oklahoma's first Big 12 crown in front of the home crowd, as OU won the 2004 title at Iowa State. OU head coach K.J. Kindler was named the 2008 Big 12 Coach of the Year and senior Kiara Redmond-Sturms was named the conference's Gymnast of the Year.
