The six-time national champion Sooners will embark on their SEC journey this winter.
As did most of its athletic teams, the University of Oklahoma’s six-time national champion women’s gymnastics team became a Southeastern Conference member team on Monday. SEC Network analyst and OU alumnusthe grueling conference schedule all SEC football teams are subject to as “the grind.” There won't be days off in the SEC, and the Sooners gymnastics team is preparing for the same welcome.
“So, we kind of have to take a broad look at the program and how to peak our athletes at the right time, so to me, it’s just going to make us better, definitely more thoughtful about what we’re doing and definitely dig a little deeper on what we’re capable of, in my opinion, but I do expect to go in and be making an impact immediately,” Kindler said.
“This first year, we will be going to the four highest attended universities,” Kindler said. “That’s our away competition. To me, that was a message, loud and clear, that we better be ready for it.” “I think there’s going to be a few adjustments, for sure, but I think they’re great adjustments for the Oklahoma Sooners and this program,” the two-time Big 12 gymnast of the year told Sooners on SI on Monday. “I mean, we’re going to be competing in front of bigger crowds, which is going to be great for these girls. I mean, they’re used to the pressure, so it’s going to be great, you know, competing in front of 10,000, 15,000 fans. It’s going to be great. . .
