No. 1 Sooners to Host Big 12 Championship Saturday
March 22, 2024 | Women's Gymnastics
NORMAN – The No. 1 Oklahoma women's gymnastics team will compete at the Big 12 Championship Saturday, March 23, at 6:15 p.m. CT inside Lloyd Noble Center. The meet, which pits the Sooners against BYU, Denver, Iowa State and West Virginia, will air live on ESPNU. Alex Perlman and Bridget Sloan will be on the call.
The Sooners will compete in their final Big 12 Championship before departing for the SEC later this year. The Sooners will look to earn their third-straight Big 12 Championship and 15th overall as the championship returns to Norman for the first time since 2019. Prior to the 2021 season, the Sooners had won an unprecedented eight consecutive Big 12 titles, the first program in conference history to do so. In 2023, the Sooners used a conference championship record 198.400 to claim the title over Denver, Iowa State and West Virginia. The Sooners own 19 conference titles (five Big 8, 14 Big 12) in their history and 13 Big 12 titles under 18th-year head coach K.J. Kindler. Kindler will wrap up an incredible 36-year career as a gymnast or coach in the Big 12/Big Eight on Saturday.
