LAST WEEKEND - No. 5 UCLANORMAN, Okla. -- The No. 2 Oklahoma women’s gymnastics team posted a school-record score, defeating No. 5 UCLA in a 198.375-197.200 win in front of a record crowd of 2,874 Friday at the Lloyd Noble Center.The 198.375 surpassed the program’s previous best score of 197.950 set against Alabama in 2010. In addition to the record-high total score, the Sooners posted season high marks on every event, including a 49.525 on vault, 49.575 on bars, 49.550 on beam and a 49.675 on floor. OU’s beam and floor scores are the highest of any team in the nation this season coming into the day. Olson took the all-around title with a 39.700, a career high score that topped UCLA’s Vanessa Zamarripa, the nation’s top all-arounder, who scored a 39.650. Junior Taylor Spears and freshman Keeley Kmieciak tied Zamarripa with career high scores, also scoring 39.650.
HISTORIC NIGHTOklahoma’s win over UCLA rewrote the record books in many different ways:• OU’s team score of 198.375 is the highest score by any team in NCAA women’s gymnastics since
2004. It is also the highest score in program history, the highest score in Big 12 history and the high-est score in the nation this season.
• OU’s vault score of 49.525 is the second-highest score in program history and the highest since 2002.• OU’s bars score of 49.575 is the highest score in OU history, besting a 49.550 in 2003. • OU’s beam score of 49.600 is the highest score in the nation this season and gives OU the three high-
est scores in the country this year.• OU’s floor score of 49.675 is the highest score by any team in NCAA women’s gymnastics since 2009.
It is also tied for the highest score in OU history and the highest since 2003 and is the highest score of any team in the nation this year.
• Brie Olson’s 39.700 all-around score is tied for the highest score in OU history with Kasie Tamayo (2004) and is the top all-around score in the nation this season.
• Olson’s score, coupled with Taylor Spears’ 39.650 and Keeley Kmieciak’s 39.650 in the same meet, is the first time three teammates have each earned a 39.650 or above in the same meet since Utah did so in 2004 and the first time such a feat has happened in OU history.
SOONERS SWEEP BIG 12 WEEKLY AWARDSSenior Brie Olson was named Gymnast of the Week for the second-straight week and third time this season after setting a national-high mark in the all-around at 39.700 vs. No. 5 UCLA. Freshman Maile’ana Kanewa earned her first-career award after being named Specialist of the Week, totaling a 9.925 on her first collegiate vault coming off of wrist surgery. Freshman Keeley Kmieck won Newcomer of the Week, her third weekly honor, for scoring 39.650 in the all-around. OU has now swept the awards five times in the last six weeks and six times overall, earning 22 of 24 weekly honors this season.
MAGIC NUMBERThe Sooners are the only team in the country to have scored a 197.000 or higher at three road meets this season (OU has done it at four) and one of only three teams in the country to have done it even twice on the road. OU currently holds a season average of 197.322 overall (197.410 RQS) and has scored above a 197.000 in six-straight meets, a program record.
ALL-AROUND SUCCESSAn OU gymnast has won the all-around in all eight of the Sooners’ meets this season, with junior Taylor Spears finishing on top against No. 11 Georgia, No. 11 Denver, at the Metroplex Challenge and at Iowa State. Sophomore Erica Brewer won the title at Arizona State and senior Brie Olson has claimed the title at West Virginia, the Perfect 10 Challenge and No. 5 UCLA. For their efforts, each gymnast has earned Big 12 Gymnast of the Week after each all-around title. Spears, Olson and Brewer are currently nationally ranked No. 2, No. 4 and No. 9, respectively, in the all-around. In addition, freshman Keeley Kmieciak is also ranked No. 18 with a 39.200 score. No other school has more than two all-arounders ranked in the top 25.
LOVE AT HOMEOklahoma set a home attendance record on Feb. 22 against No. 5 UCLA a few weeks after competing in front of another large crowd in the home season opener. Every crowd in the Sooners’ top-10 home attendance rankings have come in the past four seasons: 1. UCLA 2013 2,8742. Alabama 2010 2,5293. NC State 2012 2,4924. Denver 2013 2,3895. Arkansas 2011 2,3516. Alabama 2012 2,1397. NCAA Regional 2011 2,0798. Quad 2012 1,8309. Iowa State 2010 1,79110. Quad 2011 1,684
O k l a h o m a Wo m e n ’s G y m n a s t i c s N o t e s 4
BEST ON BEAMOklahoma retains its No. 1 ranking nationally on beam with a 49.395 RQS, staying at the top spot for the sixth-consecutive week. The Sooners scores of 49.600, 49.525 and 49.475 are the three highest scores of any team in the country on the event. In addition to their success on beam, the Sooners are also nationally ranked No. 3 on floor (49.340), No. 3 on bars (49.360) and No. 6 on vault (49.320).
NATIONAL RANKINGS• Oklahoma is also the only team in the country to have five different gymnasts ranked in the top 25
in any event, with five ranked on both bars and beam. • In the beam rankings, four Sooners occupy the top eight spots, including Spears at No. 1, Olson at
No. 3, Brewer at No. 4 and sophomore Lauren Alexander at No. 8 while junior Madison Mooring also ranks No. 17.
• On bars, Spears again leads the way ranked No. 7 in the country, followed by Brewer at No. 13, Kmieciak at No. 15, Olson at No. 19 and sophomore Rebecca Clark at No. 24.
• Freshman Haley Scaman continued her streak near the top of the floor rankings, coming in at No. 4 this week with a 9.915 RQS. She was joined by Olson, ranked No. 13 at 9.885.
• On vault, the freshman duo of Kmieciak and Scaman are the top-ranked Sooners at No. 22 in the nation.
FANTASTIC FRESHMENOklahoma’s freshmen have been put into key spots in the lineup on big stages and have risen to the occasion this season. • Haley Scaman is a four-time Big 12 weekly award winner and is the top-ranked freshman in the
country on floor, including a 9.95 score at West Virginia, one of only 10 gymnasts to earn such a score. Scaman has scored a 9.8 or better on 16 of 18 events this season.
• Keeley Kmieciak has competed in the all-around in all but one meet for the Sooners and is a two-time Big 12 weekly award winner with three individual vault titles this year.
• Maile’ana Kanewa
WIN, WIN, WINOklahoma is a perfect 15-0 in eight meets this season, making the Sooners the only undefeated team in the country. OU is looking for its fourth undefeated regular season in seven total season under head coach K.J. Kindler to go with unbeaten campaigns in 2008 (14-0), 2010 (14-0) and 2011 (15-0). Under Kindler, Oklahoma is 95-9 (.913) overall against regular season opponents.
