Oklahoma takes home the 2023 NCAA women’s gymnastics title

Sooners cement themselves as gymnastics royalty with 6th national title in 9 years

The 2023 National women’s gymnastics championships ended with a fierce finals competition. The University of Oklahoma Sooners pulled away in the last rotation to grab their 6th NCAA national championship in program history. They have won six of the last nine championships.

The competition level was beyond impressive, but the Sooners walked away and successfully defended their national title. The Sooners had a final score of 198.3875. Florida took second with 198.2375, with Utah and LSU at third and fourth respectively.

Oklahoma led the entire meet, but not by much. Utah surged from behind in the third rotation with big bar routines while Trinity Thomas, from Florida, stuck a big vault and scored a perfect 10.00. Thomas tied the NCAA all-time record for most perfect 10’s with 28.

The big scores just weren’t quite enough to catch up with Oklahoma, but the parity in women’s gymnastics is apparent.
