All 18 members of the Oklahoma women's gymnastics team earned Women's Collegiate Gymnastics Association Scholastic All-America honors for the 2025-26 academic year, the WCGA announced Aug. 26.
OU was one of just four programs nationally to place every athlete on its roster on the list. The threshold: a cumulative or yearly GPA of 3.5 or better.
Every Sooner cleared it.
The team posted a 3.77 GPA that ranked 15th among NCAA women's gymnastics programs.
Five gymnasts carried perfect 4.0 GPAs: Mackenzie Estep (management), Kamila Pawlak (communication), Blakely Roten (health and exercise science), Caitlin Smith (journalism) and Keira Wells (creative media production).
Seven more finished at 3.70 or above, led by Elizabeth Blessey's 3.92 in psychology and Aspen Lenczner's 3.90 in journalism. Addison Fatta (3.88, communication), Kelsey Slade (3.85, psychology), Ava Siegfeldt (3.75, health and exercise science), Hannah Scheible (3.71, health and exercise science and psychology) and Danae Fletcher (3.70, criminal justice) rounded out that tier.
The remaining six honorees were Nicole Desmond (early childhood education), Elle Mueller (psychology), Ella Murphy (advertising), Lily Pederson (management), Hurley Snow (multidisciplinary studies) and Faith Torrez (sociology).
Under head coach K.J. Kindler, OU has placed at least five gymnasts on the Scholastic All-America list for 20 consecutive seasons. Since Kindler arrived ahead of the 2007 season, Sooner gymnasts have collected 210 total WCGA Scholastic All-America honors, according to the university's athletics department.
The academic sweep caps a year in which the squad also won the 2026 NCAA championship in April, its second consecutive national title and eighth overall, placing OU third all-time in women's gymnastics national championships.
"You don't get immune to the feeling of having an accomplishment like this," Kindler said in a June 7 Sooner Magazine piece celebrating the national title.
