April 02, 2026 | Women's Gymnastics
Lexington, Ky. — The No. 1 Oklahoma women's gymnastics team begins NCAA postseason competition this weekend, April 3-5, at the Lexington Regional, held at the University of Kentucky's Historic Memorial Coliseum. OU will compete in the second session of the second round against No. 16 Kentucky, Ohio State and the winner of the Central Michigan/Rutgers at 6 p.m. CT on April 3.
The afternoon session on Friday features No. 8 Missouri, No. 9 Arkansas, NC State and Maryland. The top two teams from each session on Friday will advance to Sunday's regional final at 4 p.m. CT.
The Sooners look to continue their NCAA regional success under 20th-year head coach K.J. Kindler. The Sooners have won 15 consecutive regional championships and 61 individual regional championship titles, dating back to 2010.
As the No. 1 overall seed at the Lexington Regional, OU was able to select its rotation order for the postseason. The Sooners elected to begin on vault and follow true Olympic order, ending on floor.

- The Sooners have hit 308 of 312 routines this season for a hit percentage of .987. Eight athletes are perfect on the season and of those, two have competed in every meet in 2026. See more information on page 3.

CLOUD 9.9
Through 11 weeks of competition, 55% of the Sooners' routines have gone 9.90 or higher (172 of 312). With just 19 through the first two meets, OU doubled its output with 18 against Georgia on Jan. 23. The Sooners have notched double-digit scores of 9.90 or better in 11 of 13 meets and over 15 such scores in four meets (Georgia, Alabama, TWU, SEC Championships).
