FORT WORTH – Senior Anastasia Webb captured the individual all-around national championship and the Oklahoma women s gymnastics team advanced to the NCAA Finals with a 198.0875 in semifinal action.
The Sooners finished in first place in the second semifinal of the day to make their eighth straight and 10th overall appearance in the team finals. The Sooners posted the top score of both rotations inside Dickies Arena. I really felt like their minds were in the right place, head coach K.J. Kindler said. This was probably our best two weeks of preparation the whole year. We had a lot of things to cover in terms of filling the holes of Karrie Thomas since regionals so there was a lot of work to be done. When we walked on the floor today, I felt a very good vibe from them. Making it to the final night is one of the toughest things to do and I m very proud of them.
