Torrez Named Honda Sport Award Finalist
April 27, 2026 | Women's Gymnastics
NORMAN — Oklahoma women's gymnastics senior Faith Torrez was named one of four finalists for the 2026 Honda Sport Award for Gymnastics, announced Monday by the Collegiate Women Sports Awards (CWSA).
Torrez is joined by Kailin Chio (LSU), Jordan Chiles (UCLA) and Anna Roberts (Stanford) as final candidates for the prestigious award.
The Honda Sport Award has been presented annually by the CWSA for the past 49 years to the top women athletes in 12 NCAA-sanctioned sports and signifies "the best of the best in collegiate athletics." The winner of the sport award becomes a finalist for the Collegiate Woman Athlete of the Year and the prestigious 2026 Honda Cup.
The nominees were chosen by a panel of coaches representing the National Association of Collegiate Gymnastics Coaches/Women (NACGC/W). The Honda Sport Award winner for gymnastics will be announced later this week after voting by administrators from over 1,000 NCAA member schools. Each NCAA member institution has a vote.
Torrez helped lead Oklahoma to its eighth overall NCAA women's gymnastics championship on April 18 in Fort Worth, Texas. In the Four on the Floor, Torrez secured the title for the Sooners in a come-from-behind win with her 9.9500 performance on floor in OU's final routine.
Torrez, a Bristol, Wis., native, has been one of the most decorated athletes to compete at Oklahoma. A part of three national title teams, Torrez was the 2026 NCAA all-around champion, becoming the fifth Sooner in program history to earn the title. She was the 2025 South Central Region Gymnast of the Year and 2023 Big 12 Newcomer of the Year.
After earning first-team All-America honors on all four events and in the all-around in 2026, the only athlete in the nation to do so, Torrez finished her career as a 13-time NCAA All-American. She also earned All-SEC honors on balance beam this season after taking the title with her 10.0 in Tulsa in March. In addition to her 2026 NCAA all-around title, Torrez earned the NCAA beam title in 2024.
A 2026 AAI Award Finalist, Torrez continued to prove her excellence at the NCAA Lexington Regional, where she earned her second perfect 10.0 of the season on beam, helping the Sooners to their 16th straight regional title.
Torrez made her all-around debut at the NCAA semifinals on April 14 and earned three scores of 9.9500 and a 9.9375 (vault) to claim the title with a total score of 39.7875. The senior boasts season highs of a 9.9375 on vault, 9.9500 on bars, 10.0 on beam and a 9.9500 on floor.
The CWSA, in its 49th year, has honored the nation's top NCAA women athletes for their superior athletic skills, leadership, academic excellence and eagerness to participate in community service. Since commencing its partnership in 1986, Honda has provided more than $3.4 million in institutional grants to the universities of the award winners and nominees to support women's athletics programs.
Torrez will look to become just the seventh Sooner to earn the Honda Sport Award for women's gymnastics. Kelly Garrison received the honor in 1987 and 1988, and was followed by Maggie Nichols in 2019, Anastasia Webb in 2021 and Jordan Bowers in 2025. Keilani Ricketts (softball, 2012 & 2013) and Jocelyn Alo (softball, 2022) are the only other Sooners to have earned a Honda Cup Award.
