Pair of Perfect Scores Propel No. 1 Oklahoma Into Regional Final
March 30, 2023 | Women's Gymnastics
NORMAN – The top-ranked Oklahoma's women's gymnastics team posted a 197.925 in the second session of the second round of the NCAA Women's Gymnastics Norman Regional inside Lloyd Noble Center on Thursday night to advance to Saturday's regional final. The Sooners will face No. 8 Alabama, No. 9 Kentucky (those teams scored a 197.375 and a 197.475 Thursday afternoon, respectively) and No. 16 Ohio State (scored a 197.350 Thursday night).
Sophomore Jordan Bowers and senior Ragan Smith each registered a perfect 10 to win the bars and beam titles, respectively. It was Bowers' fourth career NCAA regional title, while Smith earned her first. Super senior Olivia Trautman earned her third career NCAA regional title and first on vault with a 9.950. Kentucky's Raena Worley won the all-around with a 39.625 and a share of the floor title with a 9.950. Joining Worley as floor champions were Ohio State's Elexis Edwards and Arkansas' Frankie Price.
The Sooners matched their seventh-best beam score at an NCAA Regional with a 49.475 in the opening rotation. Going perfect in back-to-back postseason competitions, Smith anchored the lineup with her fifth career perfect 10, all on beam. She is now tied for second in program history for career perfect 10.0 scores with Trautman, Haley Scaman and 2021 NCAA all-around champion Anastasia Webb. Smith also became the first Sooner to earn a perfect score on beam at a regional since OU legend Maggie Nichols in 2018.
Trautman got the meet started with a solid 9.875, followed by a 9.725 from junior Katherine LeVasseur, who competed in the official beam lineup for the first time since Feb. 3 against Iowa State. Bowers followed with a 9.800 and freshman Faith Torrez earned her seventh score of 9.9-plus with a 9.925. Junior Audrey Davis posted a 9.875 in the No. 5 spot and the Sooners trailed Ohio State 49.525-49.475.
In the second rotation, OU posted a 49.450 on floor to take a lead it would not relinquish. The Sooners ended the rotation with three scores of 9.900 or higher, starting with back-to-back 9.900s from Bowers and sophomore Danielle Sievers. Torrez anchored the lineup with a 9.925, her 12th score of 9.9-plus in 13 meets. Junior Bell Johnson got the floor rotation started with a 9.725 and was followed by Davis (9.875) and Smith (9.850).
The Sooners widened their lead with a 49.400 on vault in the third rotation. Trautman anchored the lineup, bringing energy to the crowd with a sky-high Yurchenko 1.5 for a 9.950. The score matched the fourth-best individual regional score in program history. Sievers started the lineup with a near-stuck Yurchenko 1.5 for a 9.900. Super senior Allie Stern returned to the lineup with a 9.850 before junior Katherine LeVasseur added a 9.900 in the No. 3 spot. Bowers followed with a 9.800 and Davis earned a 9.750 in the No. 5 spot.
The bars squad ended the night with OU's fourth-best score on the event in regional competition (49.600). In the No. 5 spot, Bowers earned her first perfect 10 on the event and third overall (tied for sixth most in program history with LeVasseur and NCAA champions Brenna Dowell and Nicole Lehrmann). Bowers' perfect score was OU's first on bars in regional competition since Webb in 2021 and third overall.
Sievers swung strong with a season-high 9.950 to start the Sooners. Sophomore Danae Fletcher followed with a 9.825, while Trautman recorded her sixth score of 9.900 or higher on the event this season with a 9.925. Smith stuck her double-layout dismount for a 9.900, while Davis anchored the rotation with a 9.800.
Bowers and Davis also competed in the all-around, earning a 39.500 and 39.300, respectively. Bowers tied for fourth with her 11th score this season of 39.500 or higher, while Davis was ninth overall.
The Sooners will compete Saturday at 4:45 p.m. CT in the regional final for a chance to advance to the NCAA Championships semifinals in Fort Worth, Texas, on April 13. Tickets for Saturday's regional final start at $5 and can be purchased at SoonerSports.com/tickets.
