ST. LOUIS —An incredible season came to a heartbreaking end Saturday night as the Oklahoma women's gymnastics team finished as the runner-up at the 2018 NCAA Super Six in St. Louis.
The Sooners recorded a team score of 198.0375 but were bested by UCLA's 198.0750 as the Bruins won the meet with a 10.0 from Peng-Peng Lee on beam in the final rotation. For the 10th time this season, the Sooners finished with a score of 198.000 or better.
“Honestly we did everything that we could,” OU head coach K.J. Kindler said. “We handled that really tough rotation, first rotation on balance beam. Everyone responded when we had that mistake and did the best routines that they have ever done. We just kept fighting all through the meet. We’ve been in a couple of close meets this year and we fought through it and it felt just like that against UCLA and against Florida. We’ve been there before, and they never gave up. At the end of the day it just wasn’t quite enough.”
