BACK AND BETTER
Oklahoma returns all six 2024 NCAA Indoor Championships qualifiers.
Senior Olivia Lueking aims for her fourth consecutive First Team All-America honor in the pole vault.

BJ Green and Nikaoli Williams headline the men's team. Green returns after sweeping the Big 12 triple jump titles and earning two NCAA First Team All-America awards in 2024. Williams looks for redemption after qualifying for last year's site, but was unable to attempt due to injury.
