GYMNASTICS PREVIEW ■ Friday, January 12, 2007 5 Revamped Tide to be tested early BY DAN SELLERS Assistant Sports Editor ■ [email protected] As fans sit in Coleman Coliseum Friday night for the Alabama gymnastics opening meet against Oklahoma, the team they will see perform probably won’t be the same team that you will see toward the end of the season. At least, that’s how head coach Sarah Patterson sees it. Armed with eight sophomores and six freshmen, Patterson said she thinks it might take a couple of meets to get in the groove. “I think because we have so many fresh- men and sophomores, the beginning of the season is not going to be where we end the season,” she said. “We’re as good right now as we’re going to be until we get into a couple of competi- tions. Then, I think that will inspire them to be even better. A lot of [our success] will stem from how they respond to those initial CW/ File meets.” Tide gymnast Cassie Martin performs on the floor exercise during a meet last season.

Maybe the 18-year-old isn’t old enough to feel pressure. Maybe she didn’t know she should. On the final rotation Saturday night -- the uneven bars -- Florida needed a 9.95 or better to win its third consecutive NCAA gymnastics title. All McMurtry did was execute her best routine of the season, earning a career-best 9.95 to propel the Gators a final score of 197.850 and the national championship. “I didn’t necessarily know what score I had to get,” McMurtey said. “I think that would have made it even harder for me so I knew I had a job to do and I knew my teammates had my back. Going last is sometimes a good position, sometimes a bad position, and we had five girls hit routines so I knew my teammates had my back and I just had to do my job. It all worked out for me and that was one of the best routines of my career.” “It’s amazing that she came out under this heavy pressure situation as a freshman and performed as well as she did everywhere,” Florida head coach Rhonda Faehn said.“To anchor that bar lineup, to have that fight for every little thing, it’s not only amazing, it speaks volumes for what she will continue to bring to this team in the future, which is exciting.” Faehn had her back to the scoreboard and paid no attention to the other teams competing.

On Saturday night, the Sooners did just that. With a 197.6750, the No. 1-seeded Sooners secured the 2016 NCAA Championship inside Fort Worth Convention Center. The title was their second all-time, with the first coming in 2014. The Super Six appearance was OU’s sixth in the last seven seasons and in each of those, OU has now finished within the top three nationally. The victory made history in the gymnastics world as Oklahoma became the first school in history to win both the women’s and men’s national titles in the same season. Earlier on Saturday night, the men’s team rolled to the 2016 crown in Columbus, Ohio. “What do you say? One of girls this morning, when she woke up, tweeted, ‘It felt like Christmas Eve last night—I couldn’t go to bed anticipating today,’ It turns out that’s exactly what it was,” 10th-year Oklahoma head coach K.J. Kindler said. “Christmas Day is always a wonderful day when you’re a kid. Today was just an amazing and wonderful day for these ladies and our entire team. They had to fight for it. We learned a lot last year, I think, and they applied it today.” No. 3 seed LSU came in second place with a 197.4500, No. 4 Alabama (197.4375) finished third and No.

This season is their 30th coaching the University of Alabama Gymnastics team and it is also the 20th anniversary of the Crimson Tide’s first NCAA Championship. “I think it’s very rare that someone discovers what they were meant to do, their life’s work, at the age of 22,” Sarah Patterson said. “I think I was very fortunate to be in the right place at the right time. In my adult life, I’ve only received a paycheck from one place and I think that’s pretty neat.” While Sarah Patterson started with the Crimson Tide seemingly the day after graduating from Slippery Rock University in 1978, David Patterson started coaching Alabama even before he gradu- ated. “To be able to find something that you really love to do, and to be able to make a living doing something that can make a differ- ence in people’s lives, and to find it at such a young age was really a blessing for me,” David Patterson said. “And I think we’re very lucky to be able to do what we love in a place that is truly special.
