The Sooners are 8-0 on the year and 2-0 in SEC competition. In their inaugural road competition of the season, Oklahoma beat No. 10 Alabama by a score of 197.550 to 196.300 on Jan. 24 at Coleman Coliseum.
Jordan Bowers secured three event titles, achieving an all-around score of 39.625, along with victories on the bars and floor, both scoring 9.95. Faith Torrez closely followed Bowers with an all-around score of 39.600 and clinched the vault, beam, and floor titles, also earning 9.95s in each event.
Bowers' 39.625 was tied for the highest all-around score in the nation over the weekend as she claimed her second all-around title of the season. Her 9.95 on bars was a season high as she was one of just two athletes to score a 9.9 or higher on the event in the meet. On beam, her 9.925 was just behind teammate Faith Torrez as she led the Sooners to a 49.575 on the event – the second-highest score in the nation. Her 9.95 on floor was her third-straight mark of 9.95 or higher this season and one of just three scores of 9.9 or better in the meet.
In each of the first four weeks of the season, the Sooners have put five athletes up to compete in the all-around: Jordan Bowers, Audrey Davis, Addison Fatta, Lily Pederson and Faith Torrez.
