Inside Dickies Arena, the Sooners posted a sharp 198.0125 team score. They finished ahead of UCLA, Missouri, and Utah in one of the toughest championship fields in recent memory.
This win marked Oklahoma’s seventh national championship—all within the last 11 years. It’s also their third title in the past four seasons, tying them with UCLA for the third-most national titles in NCAA women’s gymnastics history.
The Sooners have now made the NCAA team finals 11 times in the last 12 years. That kind of sustained success says a lot about a program that reloads rather than rebuilds each year.

Championship meets are so often decided on the balance beam. Oklahoma made their intentions obvious from the opening rotation.
The Sooners opened with a 49.6125 on beam, tying their third-highest beam score ever in NCAA competition.
Beam served as both a spark and a statement, igniting momentum that Oklahoma carried throughout the night.
