NORMAN — K.J. Kindler came to Oklahoma with lots of goals.
Needless to say, she's achieved tons of them.
The OU women’s gymnastics coach has transformed the program over the past decade-plus. She demanded better facilities and additional funding, then went out and showed what could be done with them. She turned the Sooners into a national power, winning four national team titles and upsetting a national hierarchy that didn't often allow in newcomers.
And yet, one of Kindler’s hopes and dreams remains a work in progress.
“One of our goals as a staff was to build Lloyd Noble Center,” she said.
