The 2024 Oklahoma Sooners Women's Gymnastics Team, the defending Back-to-Back National Champions from 2023 and 2022, will travel to Las Vegas for the Friday night meet at the Orleans Arena on Jan 5th and 6th. Oklahoma, the #1 ranked preseason team, takes the floor in the second session at 9 PM CST against No. 6 Michigan, No. 9 Kentucky and No. 11 Michigan State. The session will be available via a YouTube feed in the article below. Here is the Sooner staff writers article about the meet.

NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK
The new year also means the introduction of a quartet of new athletes. Head coach K.J. Kindler signed three freshman and added a graduate transfer in the offseason to bring new depth and experience to Oklahoma.
The Sooners return 13 gymnasts from the 2023 squad that secured the programs sixth national title in fifth-year senior Ragan Smith; seniors Audrey Davis, Bell Johnson, Katherine LeVasseur, Sheridan Ramsey and Meilin Sullivan; juniors Jordan Bowers, Danae Fletcher, Caitin Kirkpatrick, Danielle Sievers and Madison Snook; and sophomores Ava Siegfeldt and Faith Torrez.
The 2024 Oklahoma squad returns 21 routines and welcomes four incredible newcomers for the season. Under head coach K.J. Kindler, OU is 16-3 all-time in season openers. The Sooners have not lost a season opener since 2016.
Coach K.J. Kindler is doing a tremendous job for the University of Oklahoma and for the Women's Gymnastics Team of Oklahoma as she has built the Sooners into the #1 program in the country and has won 6 National Championships since 2014 with the Sooners.
Good luck to the team in their first meet of the 2024 season. I think another 198+ score could be in the cards for the powerful, loaded Sooners tomorrow night.

NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK
The new year also means the introduction of a quartet of new athletes. Head coach K.J. Kindler signed three freshman and added a graduate transfer in the offseason to bring new depth and experience to Oklahoma.
- Fifth-year senior Soraya Hawthorne has joined the Sooners after an impressive four-year career at Georgia. Hawthorne was a standout competitor on vault, beam and floor for the GymDogs and will bring even more depth to an already stacked vault lineup.
- Lenczner competed in the All-Star West (previously IES Wildcard) division at the 2023 Women's Development Program National Championships, finishing fourth in the all-around and seventh on beam.
- Scheible brings a wealth of national experience. At the 2022 Women's Development Program National Championships, she earned gold on beam, silver in the all-around and bronze on vault. Scheible also competed at the prestigious Nastia Liukin Cup where she finished 10th on floor in the senior division.
- Bringing the power on vault, Wells has been a level 10 gymnast since 2017. A four-time level 10 national qualifier (2018, '19, '21, '22), Wells is a three-time consecutive national vault champion (2019, '21, '22). In 2021, she won vault with a career-high perfect 10 at the Region 3 Level 10Regional Championships.
