Oklahoma Edges LSU for 8th NCAA Women’s Gymnastics Title as Torrez Delivers Clincher

Torrez’s late-season return highlighted the depth that keeps Oklahoma on top.

Overview

  • Oklahoma, which edged LSU on Saturday in Fort Worth, posted 198.1625 to 198.0750 after Faith Torrez anchored with a 9.950 on floor.
  • The title turned in the last rotation when LSU’s Lexi Zeiss fell on beam, leaving Kailin Chio’s 9.900 short of the score needed to pass the Sooners.
  • Earlier in the meet, Chio earned a perfect 10.0 on vault, the first 10 awarded at the NCAA championships since 2023.
  • Torrez had already won Thursday’s all-around at 39.7875 in her first four-event meet of an injury-limited season, signaling a comeback that boosted Oklahoma’s lineup.
  • The Sooners repeated as champions for the fourth time in five years, with Florida third and Minnesota fourth in a program-best finish at Dickies Arena.
