Another good night on the beam. I think beam is becoming one of our stronger events along with the vault

The #1 ranked, defending National Champs, Oklahoma Women's Gymnastics Team hosted fellow Big 12 Iowa State last night at Lloyd Noble Center. The Sooners won convincingly 198.225 to 195.875.

Here is the staff writers article about the win.

For the second straight event, OU scored over 198. Their score of 198.225 could have equaled their point total of 198.425 last week if two feet would have managed to stay inside the boundary on the floor exercise which caused 0.100 deductions.

Here are the Meet Results sheet showing all the scores.

Being at the Women's Gymnastics is always a good experience. I thought the crowd was a bit down last night. These young ladies/women are very good. The competition for the six spots on each event to perform for the Sooners is really high. It shows every time, every event.

Coach KJ Kindler has a great program to represent the University of Oklahoma.

Up next for the Sooners is a big meet in Texas next weekend. Oklahoma heads to the Lone Star State on Saturday, Feb. 11 at the Metroplex Challenge in Fort Worth. The meet, which also features No. 11 Alabama, No. 18 Arkansas and No. 24 Stanford, is scheduled to start at 7:30 p.m. CT.

I loved KJ’s comments after the meet - as reported in the Oklahoman this morning.

Paraphrasing, but KJ was not exactly satisfied with the meet. I thought she’d point to floor, but she was talking about bars and how she felt the team was not up to par. Never mind that the bar score was the highest in the country so far. Or that it was the 7th highest score in program history. She is pushing these ladies to a very high standard. Excellence in coaching.
