The OU women’s gymnastics team erased any doubt it would respond to a loss to Oregon State on Jan. 13, its first regular-season loss since 2009, by posting an NCAA-best score during the TWU quad meet Saturday in Denton, Texas.
Oklahoma’s 197.450 was the highest team score by any program in the country this season as OU handily defeated TWU (192.425), Utah State (192.325) and Centenary (191.450) to improve to 6-1 this season..
The Sooners combined for 10 career-high scores and nine season-highs while sweeping all eight event titles, led by sophomore Taylor Spears’ 39.200 to win the all-around competition.
Senior Megan Ferguson won a pair of event titles with a season-high 9.9 on beam and a career-high 9.95 on floor.
Junior Brie Olson also had a career-high 9.95 to win bar, and senior Sara Stone collected the vault title with a season-high 9.925.
“I felt our seniors stepped up in a big way,” OU coach K.J. Kindler said. “The leadership is going to be important for us down the road.”
