Torrez Named Region Gymnast of the Year

April 07, 2025 | Women's Gymnastics

NORMAN – Junior Faith Torrez was named the South Central Region Gymnast of the Year, the Women's College Gymnastics Association (WCGA) announced Wednesday.

Torrez has had a breakout junior season, competing the all-around in every meet at a 100 percent hit rate. She earned WCGA All-America honors on all four events and in the all-around, one of just four athletes to achieve the feat this season.

At the NCAA Seattle Regional, Torrez had the best meet of her career as she earned a career-high 39.800 in the all-around. By doing so, Torrez became one of just four athletes to achieve the feat in program history joining Sooner legends Maggie Nichols and Anastasia Webb, and teammate Jordan Bowers. She claimed four individual regional titles in the all-around, bars, beam and floor.

At the 2025 SEC Championships, Torrez made history as the first OU gymnast to win an individual SEC title. Torrez won a share of the beam title before winning the floor title outright with a perfect 10.0. She was a five-time All-SEC honoree, one of just two athletes to earn all five honors in 2025. Her five honors led the league and she became just the fourth Sooner (joining Jordan Bowers, Maggie Nichols and Kasie Tamayo) to earn all five conference honors in the same season and the first in the SEC.

As a junior, Torrez has earned four perfect 10s to bring her career total to five. She has earned three perfect 10s on floor this season and added her first career 10.0 on beam.

Torrez leads the Sooners with 32 event titles on the season, including 10 on floor, nine on beam, six on vault, five in the all-around and three on bars. She has received an impressive 42 marks of 9.9 or higher across all events. Torrez ended the regular season as the No. 1 ranked gymnast in the nation on floor, No. 2 in the all-around, No. 3 on beam and vault and No. 16 on bars. In the South Central Region, she is No. 1 on floor, No. 1 in the all-around, No. 1 on vault, No. 2 on beam and No. 5 on bars.
