The Oklahoma Sooners can’t stop just winning titles, and in their gymnastics, stuck landings never go out of style. And stick them they did. Oklahoma captured its seventh national title at the NCAA gymnastics championships in Fort Worth on Saturday, narrowly edging out UCLA’s Bruins squad led by Olympic gold medalist Jordan Chiles by four-tenths of a point. Missouri and Utah rounded out the Final Four. But the sweet taste of victory came with an unexpected twist, and as the team prepared for their triumphant return to Norman, where fans traditionally gather for a celebratory welcome, something changed!
It looks like Mother Nature had other plans! Oklahoma women’s gymnastics women’s X page posted, “Due to inclement weather conditions, we will not have our usual welcome home event tonight,” the program announced, disappointing thousands of supporters eager to greet their champions. “We will celebrate our national championship with you all very soon!”
Due to inclement weather conditions, we will not have our usual welcome home event tonight. We will celebrate our national championship with you all very soon!
