  • National Collegiate Women's Gymnastics Championships
    NATIONAL COLLEGIATE WOMEN’S GYMNASTICS CHAMPIONSHIPS RECORDS BOOK 2017 Championship 2 History 4 National Seeds 18 Regionals 20 Brackets 22 2017 CHAMPIONSHIP HIGHLIGHTS Oklahoma repeats as national champions with stunning performance: One of the things Oklahoma coach K.J. Kindler wanted from her team after the semifinal was to be calm at the start of the 2017 Women’s National Collegiate Gymnastics Championships. As the cliché goes, the Sooners were calm, cool and collected when they hit the floor on the uneven parallel bars Saturday evening in front of a charged-up crowd of 6,057 at Chaifetz Arena. They scored a 49.5875 and the Sooners’ best came in the next rotation. “They were completely at ease,” Kindler said. “They got in that place and they were in a special place.” Capped by a perfect 10 from freshman Maggie Nichols, Oklahoma scored a national championship record of 49.70 on the balance beam, eclipsing the old mark of 49.60 by UCLA in 2004. “It was amazing to get that 10 just because I had that mistake yesterday,” Nichols said. “I wanted to show everyone I could help our team.” LSU later broke the balance beam record with a score of 49.725, but it wasn’t near enough to help the Tigers close in on Oklahoma. That was how special the Sooners’ performance was Saturday evening. The first two events the Sooners competed in gave the Sooners a lead that they did not relinquish as they repeated as national champions. The Sooners have now won three national titles in the last four years.
