This resolution congratulates the University of Oklahoma women's gymnastics team on winning the 2025 National Collegiate Athletic Association Championship, marking their seventh national title in program history. It recognizes the team's outstanding performance, including their record-breaking scores and the achievements of individual athletes. The resolution celebrates the team's dedication and success in representing the University of Oklahoma and the state of Oklahoma.
This resolution formally congratulates the University of Oklahoma women's gymnastics team for securing their seventh National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Championship title in 2025. It highlights their impressive final score of 198.0125, which bested competitors from UCLA, Missouri, and Utah. The main point here is official recognition from the state legislature for a significant athletic achievement.
The resolution breaks down the Sooners' winning performance, noting scores like a stellar 49.6125 on beam and 49.5875 on floor. It also puts the win in context: this marks the team's 11th appearance in the finals over the last 12 years and ties them for the third-most women's gymnastics titles in NCAA history. Beyond the championship itself, the resolution acknowledges the team's overall dominant season, including a 33-2 record, a Southeastern Conference regular-season title, and their 15th straight NCAA Regional Championship. It specifically shouts out the 15 All-America honors earned by six athletes – Jordan Bowers, Faith Torrez, Dani Sievers, Lily Pederson, Elle Mueller, and Addison Fatta – and celebrates Jordan Bowers' individual all-around national title. Ultimately, this is about giving credit where it's due, recognizing the hard work and success the team brought to the university, the state, and its fans.
