NORMAN – See you in Fort Worth.
For the 18th straight season, the Oklahoma women's gymnastics team is headed to the NCAA Championship.
An incredible night included two near-perfect scores and multiple career highs as the Sooners notched a 198.250 to take home the Norman Regional title. The Sooners have now won 12-straight regional crowns under head coach K.J. Kindler. Minnesota placed second with a 197.725 to also advance to the NCAA Championship. California was third with a 197.300 and Arkansas in fourth with a 196.675.
"This was an awesome meet; I don't even know what to say," Kindler said. "I think it all started with the floor team. They were 10 times better than they were on Thursday. All those small errors we had Thursday were not there. They were super dialed in; I think that (made) the gigantic difference for us just starting off on that high," Kindler said. "Minnesota was lighting it up on vault, so (it) definitely (benefited) us to match their energy, and we did. I think that was really the key to our night is just starting off like that. "(I'm) really excited about the whole meet. That's a phenomenal score (and I'm) really excited about the crowd and (the) support we had in the stands."
Olivia Trautman put up the highest score of the night on vault with a near-perfect 9.975. On bars, Danielle Sievers earned the bars title with a 9.925. Ragan Smith took home the title on beam with a near-perfect 9.975. Minnesota's Mya Hooten won floor with a 9.975 while teammate Ona Loper won the all-around with a 39.700.
Opening on floor once again, the Sooners used a big 49.600 to take the lead after the first rotation. Norman native Bell Johnson started things off with a 9.875, nailing her double back second pass. Carly Woodard showed off her unique choreography and strong leaps for a 9.9. With her whip to double back opening pass, Danae Fletcher impressed the crowd with a 9.9 of her own. Danielle Sievers opened with a strong full-in and had the crowd on their feet for her fun choreography for a 9.9 in the No. 4 spot. Jordan Bowers shined on floor showing off her fierce energy and incredible double pike for a 9.95. Ragan Smith anchored with a fun routine and strong tumbling for a 9.95 to close out the first rotation.
OU posted its highest vault score this season with a 49.600 in the second rotation. Allie Stern opened vault with a strong 1.5 for a 9.9, followed by another great 1.5 from Katherine LeVasseur for a 9.9. Bowers nailed her 1.5 for the second meet in a row for a 9.95 in the No. 3 spot. Sievers added a 9.875 on her 1.5 in the No. 4 spot. Olivia Trautman came up big with a stuck 1.5 for a season-best 9.975. Anchoring was Fletcher with a 9.850 to wrap up the second rotation.
"(I'm) really excited (because) if you look at where this team has come on vault from the first meet of the year when we were like scratching and clawing for a 49.1, to tonight, what a metamorphosis of this lineup," Kindler said. "(I'm) just hugely proud. There's three freshmen in that lineup; I mean, that is a lot of youth in that lineup and (I'm) just really proud of that whole group."
The Sooners posted a solid 49.400 on bars in the third rotation of the night. Sievers started the bars rotation strong with a career-high tying 9.925. LeVasseur showed off incredible handstands in the No. 2 spot for a 9.875. Karrie Thomas finished her career in the Lloyd Noble Center with a 9.8. After a fall in the No. 4 spot, Bowers got things back on track with a stunning routine and a stuck dismount for a 9.9. Audrey Davis anchored with a stuck dismount of her own for a 9.9.
Jenna Dunn got the final rotation started with a 9.9 as she nailed her gainer full dismount. Trautman was stunning on beam and stuck her impressive roundoff 1.5 dismount for a career best 9.95. LeVasseur kept the sticks coming with a gorgeous dismount for a 9.825. Davis stuck her impressive double full dismount for a 9.875 in the No. 4 spot. Woodard closed out her five year career inside the LNC with a gorgeous routine and stuck dismount for a 9.950. Smith anchored with a near-perfect 9.975 to close out an incredible meet.
