The women’s Oklahoma gymnastics squad didn’t get to finish what they had started a year ago.
The 2020 season, like all winter and spring college sport activities, was cut short by the COVID-19 outbreak, and that was particularly unfortunate for the Sooner gymnasts. Oklahoma was 16-0 a year ago and poised to defend both its Big 12 title as well as the national championship.
The Sooners have won eight consecutive conference championships and remain the reigning national champions as a result of winning the most recent NCAA Women’s Gymnastics Championships held in 2019.
