Every eligible gymnast was named to the team. Qualifications for the first team include a grade point average of 3.2 or higher, either cumulative or in the previous two semesters. Gymnasts also have to compete in at least 20 percent of their team’s meets to make the team.

Seniors Anastasia Webb, Karrie Thomas, Evy Schoepfer, Carly Woodard and Jordan Draper earned awards for the third year in a row. Juniors Emma LaPinta, Allie Stern and Olivia Trautman and sophomores Vanessa Deniz, Jenna Dunn and Ragan Smith also made the team. Deniz, Dunn and LaPinta were three of the five Big 12 gymnasts to qualify with a 4.0 GPA.

Oklahoma returns to action April 2-3 in the NCAA Regional in Tuscaloosa.
