April 17, 2026 | Women's Gymnastics

FORT WORTH, Texas — Eight members of the Oklahoma women's gymnastics team combined for 15 All-America honors at the 2026 NCAA Championships.

Championship All-America honors are based on individual finishes in Thursday's semifinal sessions with first team honors going to gymnasts who finish in the top four of their semifinal and second team recognition to those who finish in positions five through eight.

For the second year in a row, senior Faith Torrez earned All-America honors on all four events plus the all-around. 

The 2026 NCAA All-Around Champion, Torrez was a first-team selection across the board, joining Jordan Bowers, Maggie Nichols and Anastasia Webb in claiming five first team honors in the same championship. Torrez now has 23 total All-America honors (13 NCAA, 10 WCGA regular season) in her career. The senior is the fifth Sooner to ever win the all-around, joining 2024 champion Bowers,  Webb (2021), Nichols (2018, 2019) and Kelly Garrison (1987, 1988). This is Torrez's second national title after claiming the beam championship in 2024. Torrez is also the sixth Sooner to win multiple national titles joining Nichols (6), Garrison (4), Webb (3), Dowell (2) and Audrey Davis (2).  

Lily Pederson earned first team All-America honors on vault and in the all-around, while Elle Mueller was named to the first team on vault and floor. 

2026 NCAA Vault Champion Keira Wells earned first team All-America honors on vault with a second team nod on beam.

Junior Hannah Scheible earned a first team nod on vault, freshman Mackenzie Estep was named to the first team on bars and fellow freshman Ella Murphy earned first team recognition on beam. Caitlin Smith received second team recognition on bars in her NCAA postseason debut. 

Oklahoma will compete for its eighth overall NCAA title in Saturday's team final at 3 p.m. CT on ABC.
