In a remarkable turn of events at the NCAA gymnastics semifinals in Fort Worth, Texas, Oklahoma senior Faith Torrez claimed the all-around title with a score of 39.7875. Despite being limited by injuries and having not competed in all four events throughout the season, Torrez's unexpected performance stunned both fans and competitors alike. She expressed disbelief at her achievement, stating, "If you would have told me... that I would be in this position right now... I’d probably laugh at you." Coach K.J. Kindler praised Torrez's talent and determination as she prepared for the event. Oklahoma's strong showing helped them secure a spot in the championship meet with a total team score of 198.3000. LSU's Kailin Chio, who was the top-ranked all-arounder for most of the season, finished second with 39.6125. Minnesota also made history by qualifying for its first NCAA championship meet. Other notable performances included Florida's Riley McCusker winning the bars title and UCLA's Jordan Chiles taking home the floor title as she concluded her collegiate career. As the teams prepare for the championship, Kindler emphasized the importance of consistency and recovery for the Sooners.
