## History

The Sooners gymnastics team was founded in 1981 under head coach Paul Ziert, who led the Sooners to three regional championships and two NCAA tournament appearances. The Sooners won their first five Big Eight Conference titles beginning in 1984 under coach Becky Switzer. Steve Nunno added another Big 12 Conference title in 2004.
Current head coach K. J. Kindler took over the program before the 2007 season; the Sooners qualified to their first Super Six team final in 2010, finishing 2nd. In 2014, Oklahoma became the sixth school to win an NCAA gymnastics team title (following Alabama, Utah, Georgia, UCLA and Florida). The 2014 Super Six final was the first to end in a tie, giving Oklahoma their first title and Florida their second straight.
At the 2024 Big 12 Championships, the Sooners gymnastics team earned a score of 198.950, which became the new highest score in college gymnastics history and broke the twenty-year-old record (198.875) set by UCLA and Stanford in 2004.
