On April 16, 2026, Faith Torrez, a senior gymnast from the University of Oklahoma, captured the NCAA All-Around Gymnastics Championship in Fort Worth, Texas, with a score of 39.7875. This victory came as a surprise, as Torrez had not performed a floor routine all season and had been sidelined due to injuries. Competing in her first all-around event of the year, she outperformed top contenders, including Kailin Chio from Louisiana State University (LSU) and Olympic gold medalist Jordan Chiles from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Torrez’s journey to this championship was marked by a significant lineup change after her teammate suffered an injury, allowing her to step up in a crucial moment. Her coach, K.J. Kindler, praised her talent and resilience, noting her exceptional 'air awareness' that facilitated her quick return to competitive form. With this win, Torrez aims to lead the Sooners to their eighth national title when they compete against LSU and Florida, as well as the underdog Minnesota Golden Gophers, in the upcoming finals.
