SAM VIERSEN GYMNASTICS CENTER A state-of-the-art 7,000 square-foot addition and a complete overhaul of the existing Sam Viersen Gymnastics Center was finalized in the spring of 2010, ensuring that the home of Oklahoma Gymnastics remains one of the nation’s premier collegiate training facilities.

Funded entirely by private donations without the use of any state or university appropriated funds, the project included a complete renovation of the current gym, locker rooms, sports medicine training rooms and the awards recognition room.

A new storage area, a reconfiguration of foam and resi pits and an outdoor patio also highlight the renovation. Parking was also added on the North end of the facility.

C


Along with the existing structure that bared its name, the Viersen Family Foundation provided an additional commitment to help fund the latest renovation.

“Oklahoma’s commitment to the Sam Viersen facility project enhances what is already an amazing experience for our student-athletes,” said OU women’s gymnastics head coach K.J. Kindler.

One of only a handful of freestanding, co-ed college gyms in the country, the Sam Viersen Gymnastics Center is located just north of the Lloyd Noble Center.

Champion TRAIN LIKE A


SPORTS MEDICINE AND OKLAHOMA ATHLETICS The Oklahoma Athletics Department feels a strong responsibility to help its athletes reach and maintain their optimum health and achieve conditioning goals. For this reason, OU has developed excellent training and conditioning programs to lessen the possibility of injuries. However, should injuries occur, the department is committed to a comprehensive rehabilitation program. Complete athletically-related medical services are provided to Oklahoma student-athletes by team physicians and OU’s certified athletic trainers. The University of Oklahoma obtains the services of the best medical consultants available. The base of operation for the Sooners’ medical care is the state-of-theart Henry J. Freede, M.D. Sports Medicine Center in the Barry Switzer

Center. The 10,000-square-foot sports medicine facility within the Barry Switzer Center treats athletes from all 21 sports, ensuring the best possible health for OU student-athletes through preventative medicine and post-injury treatment and rehabilitation. Head athletic trainer Scott Anderson says the addition to the Barry Switzer Center has allowed the university to upgrade to a new edition of rehabilitation equipment that can best benefit the student-athletes. From simple therobands to taping tables, the facility offers everything a school can have or hope to have. The Sooner training room is equipped to perform isokinetic joint evaluation for preventive medicine and for post-injury rehabilitation. The therapy room is supplied with the latest modalities on the market.

“The addition of space is the greatest benefit,” says Anderson. “This space allows for dedicated rehabilitation and consultation to the athletes. An option with the facility is the water rehabilitation area. The athlete stands in a pool of water that is adjusted to his or her own physical needs. Cameras are then placed where physicians can monitor the progress made by the athlete on his or her road to recovery.” A total team effort is the key to OU’s efficiency in preventing, treating and rehabilitating injuries sustained by student-athletes. These measures keep Sooner athletes at their highest level of performance as they compete for championships.


BECKY SWITZER TEAM ROOM Along with the renovation that was completed in the spring of 2010, a new state-of-the-art team conference room was constructed and dedicated during the 2008 competition season. Named after legendary Oklahoma women’s gymnastics coach Becky Switzer, the meeting room provides a pioneering facility for team meetings, video review sessions and team building activities.

Team members frequently come together in the room for sessions on nutrition, team unity, media training and much more. Complete with a widescreen TV, builtin trophy cases, wood floors, custom cabinetry, custom gymnastics artwork and computer workstations, this addition provides an area for the team to unite.

IN THE CLASSROOM AND THE COMMUNITY “LAW”-BRIGHT

WASHINGTON

In 2014, Oklahoma gymnast Lara Albright capped her career by becoming an NCAA first-team All-American, a CoSIDA/Capital One first-team Academic All-American and a recipient of both the Big 12 Dr. Prentice Gautt Postgraduate Scholarship and an NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship.

The Sooners enjoy volunteering with local elementary schools and are working with Washington Elementary for the second year, reading with students and assisting with homework. Groups of gymnasts help at the school every week, and individual gymnasts make visits at least once each month.

SCHOLASTICS

HAITI

Kayla Dalton, Lara Albright, Madison Mooring, Chayse Capps and Maile’ana Kanewa gave Oklahoma its eighth straight season with at least five NACGC Scholastic All-Americans in 2014. The Sooners have 48 selections to the team under head coach K.J. Kindler, and 73 in program history.

OU senior Rebecca Clark joined other students and student-athletes for Sooners 4 Haiti last summer. The service trip each May focuses its efforts on orphanages and other organizations, with Clark and other participants giving time and energy to labor and pouring back into Haitian children.

ROOKIE TEAM

DOUBLE DUTY

All five of Oklahoma’s freshmen were named to the Academic All-Big 12 Rookie Team, highlighting the program’s continued commitment to academics. Chayse Capps, Reagan Hemry, Charity Jones, Kara Lovan and McKenzie Wofford made up five of OU’s 69 selections to the conference honor listing.

In the last three season, a trio of Oklahoma gymnasts have earned prestigious academic and athletic AllAmerica honors in the same season: Lara Albright (2014), Rebecca Clark (2013) and Megan Ferguson (2012). OU now has four Academic All-Americans in K.J. Kindler’s eight seasons as head coach.

SOONERS IN THE COMMUNITY

OU lives by a clear and strong motto in dealing with its student-athletes...Inspiring Champions for Today, Preparing Leaders for Tomorrow. To fulfill that promise, the athletics department and student-athletes take an active role in a number of community service projects. Sooner student-athletes are exposed to life outside of sports and school work with opportunities to serve and help others. The Student Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC) is a committee made up of student-athletes from all 21 intercollegiate athletic teams at the University of Oklahoma. The group coordinates community service programs for the Sooners each month. “Giving back is something that benefits us as much as those we’re helping,” says OU head women’s gymnastics coach K.J. Kindler. “It brings us back to reality and makes us realize that there is more to life than collegiate athletics.” Oklahoma women’s basketball teams have been extremely active in the community since head coach Sherri Coale’s arrival in 1996. In addition to projects with the United Way, Coaches vs. Cancer, Mission of Hope for Haiti and Food and Shelter for Friends, Coale implemented the Sooner Big Sis Program which places women’s basketball players at elementary schools in Norman to serve as mentors and teachers’ aides. “I want our student-athletes to learn through their experience here,” says Coale, “how important it is to volunteer to be a part of whatever community they decide to reside in when their playing days are over.” Oklahoma’s student-athletes recognize that wearing the Crimson and Cream means representing a popular sports program and themselves as individuals. They are encouraged to respond to a public that adores them, while learning important lessons about making a positive impact in the lives of others and in the community in which they live.


ions

The Sooners have had at least two first team Academic All-Big 12 members all 16 years of the conference’s existence. Five or more Sooners have been named to the team every season of K.J. Kindler’s tenure as head coach at Oklahoma, including a conference and program-best of nine in 2014.

THE UNIVERSITY OF FLAGSHIP OF EXCELLENCE

The University of Oklahoma is experiencing a golden era in the history of a great institution. The quality of new students is soaring and donor confidence is at an all-time high. Over the last 17 years, OU’s total endowment has grown to $1.8 billion, more than fi ve fold since 1994. President David L. Boren has spurred significant changes that have resulted in a learning environment of the highest order. As a result, the state of Oklahoma enjoys resources that impact everything from medical science to the arts for many years to come. The University of Oklahoma has long embraced the great tradition of Sooner athletics. With competitive facilities all located on the main campus, including several near the heart of the university, student-athletes and their classmates mingle comfortably in an environment that fosters an attitude of excellence, regardless of the endeavor. Created by the Oklahoma Territorial Legislature in 1890, the University of Oklahoma is a doctoral degree-granting research university serving the educational, cultural, economic and health-care needs of the state, region and nation. The Norman campus serves as home to all of the university’s academic programs except healthrelated fields. The OU Health Sciences Center, which is located in Oklahoma City, is one of only four comprehensive academic health centers in the nation with seven professional colleges.

Graduation THE

PATH

#1: ASSESMENT

At OU, non-athletic career preparation is enhanced through workshops in resume development, job search strategies, interviewing skills and graduate school preparation assistance. The Sooner Career Program is dedicated to educating studentathletes about the world of work and providing a transition from college athletics to their first careers. The program includes the OU Career Fair, career information seminars, opportunities for summer internships in various fields, an employment referral service and mentorship opportunities for graduating student-athletes.

#2: SKILL DEVELOPMENT

Effective communication well is an essential skill in successful personal and professional interaction for OU student athletes. The OU Communications Center offers training for effective oral communication and media relations. A working media conference room featuring a stage and modern audio-visual systems is available in a state-of-the-art communications center.

The levels of academic preparation, educational orientation and career interests for all incoming student-athletes are evaluated. A staff learning specialist administers a variety of academic skills and career interest assessments. Individual academic support plans are then tailored to match a studentathlete’s academic skills and career interests. Furthermore, all new student-athletes are required to participate in a University orientation, which includes assessment in mathematics placement and foreign language, among others.

A comprehensive tutoring program of approximately 60 tutors provides one-to-one and small-group instruction. Student-athletes are assisted with study skills, problem-solving techniques and specific course material. Athletic Student Life Office counselors may recommend tutors or a student-athlete may request one independently. The Study Skills Center provides student-athletes with assistance in college reading strategies and individual instruction for reading improvement. Meanwhile, the Thompson Writing Center offers a dynamic, positive atmosphere to help student-athletes generate ideas and strategies for writing assignments. Consultants help studentathletes organize papers, review grammatical basics, develop proofreading and library research skills, and design resumes. A learning specialist regularly conducts time management and study skills workshops. The staff’s goal is to help studentathletes become independent writers and learners in the academic environment. Understanding computers and having access to them on a regular basis are essential to today’s successful student. The two Athletic Computer Centers, also located in the Prentice Gautt Academic Center, provide student-athletes with computer knowledge and access. The Athletic Computer Centers are open six days a week with extended hours offered during peak times. The Kerr Foundation Foreign Language Center was established to assist student-athletes with speaking, listening, reading and writing in different languages. The Center, coordinated by a Modern Languages department instructor, offers a top-notch multimedia environment for all foreign language instruction. Realizing the increasing role mathematics plays in society today, the Prentice Gautt Academic Center aims to help all student-athletes achieve an understanding of math and related topics in their course work. The Mathematics Center offers regular instruction for student-athletes placed in preparatory mathematics courses and tutorial consultation in all math and statistics courses.

#3: COUNSELING

Student-athletes receive caring, professional support from Academics as well as Psychological Resources (PROS). This support may take several forms, including career choice, academic or personal decisions. Four professional athletic academic counselors are present to help student-athletes through the educational process. Approximately one counselor per 100 student-athletes is available to assist the student-athletes with planning class schedules, choosing degree programs and setting personal and academic goals. Course attendance and course performance are checked a minimum of four times per semester for each student-athlete participating in the intercollegiate athletic program. The personal health and nutritional needs of student-athletes are monitored by the OU Sports Medicine staff of physicians and certified athletic trainers. The Wagner Dining Hall makes every effort to accommodate the special dietary requirements of OU student-athletes.

OKLAHOMA TRADITIONS

The University of Oklahoma has a long and storied history. The rich tradition has given birth to some of the most recognized pageantry in all of college athletics. Here is a look at the origin of some of the elements that create the wonderful atmosphere so unique to OU:

SOONERS

College sports fans are hard-pressed to find a nickname that is as unique and as tied in to a state’s history as a Sooner. The University of Oklahoma is the only school known as Sooners and those who claim that they are Sooners say it with pride. The Oklahoma Territory opened with the Land Run of 1889. Settlers from across the globe, seeking free land, made their way to the prairies of the plains to stake their claim. One of the few rules to claiming a lot of land was that all participants were to start at the same time, on the boom of a cannon. All settlers who started then were labeled as “Boomers” and the ones who went early were called “Sooners.” OU athletic teams were called either Rough Riders or Boomers for 10 years before the current Sooner nickname emerged in 1908. The university actually derived its name from a pep club called “The Sooner Rooters.” The success of University of Oklahoma athletics teams over the years has made the nickname synonymous with winning.

Boom

BOOMER SOONER

One of the most recognizable college fight songs in the country, Boomer Sooner immediately evokes enthusiasm from OU fans and sends chills down the spines of those who dare to oppose them.

In 1905, Arthur M. Alden, a student in history and physiology whose father was a Norman jeweler, wrote the lyrics to the fight song, borrowing the tune from Yale University’s Boola Boola but improvising the words. A year later, an addition was made to it from North Carolina’s I’m a Tarheel Born and the two combined to form today’s university fight song. Though the tune was first made known by Yale, the everlasting success of Sooner squads has taken the melody of Boomer Sooner to national popularity. Boomer Sooner, Boomer Sooner Boomer Sooner, Boomer Sooner Boomer Sooner, Boomer Sooner Boomer Sooner, OK U! Oklahoma, Oklahoma Oklahoma, Oklahoma Oklahoma, Oklahoma Oklahoma, OK U! I’m a Sooner born and Sooner bred and when I die, I’ll be Sooner dead Rah Oklahoma, Rah Oklahoma Rah Oklahoma, OK U!

MASCOTS

The Sooner Schooner is a Conestoga, or covered wagon, reminiscent of the mode of travel used by pioneers who settled Oklahoma. The Schooner is powered by matching white ponies named Boomer and Sooner, and it ventures onto Owen Field in a triumphant victory ride after OU scores. Although the Schooner was introduced in 1964, it did not become the official mascot until 1980. The Schooner is well-recognized by college athletics fans across the country and makes regular appearances at university functions. During OU football and baseball games from 1915-1928, Mex the Dog wore a red sweater with a letter “O” on the side. Mex died of old age on April 30, 1928, and he was so popular among students and faculty that the university closed for his funeral and procession on May 2, 1928. In the fall of 2005, the OU Athletics Deparment introduced costumed mascots. The new characters will act as an extension of the Sooner Schooner and its horses to be enjoyed by fans -especially children -- at all OU athletics contests. The costumes feature traditional collegiate gear as part of their regular uniform, but will don team uniforms for football and men’s and women’s basketball. They were voted “Most Collegiate” by the Universal Cheerleading Association (UCA).


mer Sooner CRIMSON AND CREAM

In the fall of 1895, Miss May Overstreet, the only woman on the faculty, was asked to chair a committee to select the colors of the university. The committee decided the colors should be crimson and cream and an elaborate display of the colors was draped above a platform before the student body.

The student body approved with great enthusiasm and immediately pennants, banners, badges and decorations of every description appeared on the streets, in the windows, at chapel, in classrooms, and all public places; however, local merchants could not supply the demand. Even though the school colors have evolved to red and white over the years, you can ask any self-respecting Sooner what the colors are and they will proudly announce “Crimson and Cream.” On gamedays, a sea of crimson rolls through OU’s home venues and all Sooners are urged to wear the official colors to show the rest of the country what school spirit and Sooner Pride is all about.

PRIDE OF OKLAHOMA

The Pride of Oklahoma Marching Band has been supporting Sooner Spirit for more than a century. Unlike many other college bands, which began as military drill units, the Pride of Oklahoma had its beginnings as a pep band.

In the early years of the 1900s, both townspeople of Norman and students of OU participated in a band that played for football games. Professor John Merrill started the first band in 1901, which was composed mostly of townspeople and disbanded after each football season. Lloyd Curtis, a cornetist, founded the first continuous student band in 1904. Today, the 300-member Pride of Oklahoma has members representing virtually every college and major on campus. The Pride of Oklahoma stands for excellence in musicianship, academics, school spirit, and commitment to our role in the surrounding community. Boomer Sooner rings out at the end of each rehearsal, and that song is the defining element of the University of Oklahoma. Maybe that is why Sooner fans love the band so much. Not much can compare to the first “go-go” at a football game when the Pride of Oklahoma marches the interlocking OU down the field playing Boomer Sooner.

OU CHANT

The OU Chant is a loyalty song that is sung before every home football game, before and after every men’s and women’s basketball games and at the end of many athletic and university functions. Every fan who wears the official colors, each current student and student-athlete and all OU alumni are encouraged to stand and raise one finger in the air during the playing of the Chant -- a symbolic gesture that shows those who do not know what it means to be a Sooner, the greatness of the university and the unity between all Sooners.

The Chant was written in 1936 by Jessie Lone Clarkson Gilkey, who directed the OU girl’s glee club from 1936 to 1938 and was voted Outstanding Faculty Woman in 1937. O-K-L-A-H-O-M-A Our chant rolls on and on! Thousands strong Join heart and song In alma mater’s praise Of campus beautiful by day and night Of colors proudly gleaming Red and White ‘Neath a western sky OU’s chant will never die. Live on University!


THE CITY OF NORMAN Norman is an ever-changing city of nearly 120,000 residents. Located in the heart of the state, it has grown to become the third largest city in Oklahoma. Despite its continuous growth, it has maintained the spirit and serenity of a small closeknit community. Since the Oklahoma landrush of 1889, Norman has grown into a popular and smart city. The spirit of Norman and its citizens is unwavering and uncompromising. While other towns were clamoring to become the state capital, Norman residents desired to have the first state university. When the first OU president got off the train and saw a prairie, he saw opportunity. As home to the state’s premier educational institution, Norman boasts an excellent quality of life and is a city that thrives on and celebrates the diversity of its community. Legendary University of Oklahoma football coach Barry Switzer called Norman “a university town with a championship spirit.” Norman continually exhibits its love for sports by hosting numerous local and national athletic events.

In the last five years alone, Norman has served as host of the NCAA Men’s Gymnastics Championship, an NCAA men’s golf regional, NCAA softball regionals, NCAA men’s and women’s gymnastics regionals, NCAA women’s tennis regionals, NCAA track and field regional, NCAA soccer first rounds and the NCAA women’s basketball regionals. In addition, the Big 12 Conference Men’s and Women’s Tennis, Track and Field, Wrestling, Women’s Golf, and Women’s Gymnastics Championships were held in Norman. Cultural activities are unlimited in Norman, making it the ideal backdrop for the University of Oklahoma. As home to people of all ethnic and educational backgrounds, the city has something to offer everyone. Norman is home to a variety of enriching events and attractions, including the Sooner Theater, which hosts a series of entertaining theatrical performances produced by locally-based talent and touring companies.

of sights, sounds and tastes straight from the Middle Ages. Knights joust, jesters entertain and story tellers spin tales of a magical time in history. The $44 million Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History, a state-of-the-art facility designed to display a collection of historical and natural science items that trace the southwest’s development since prehistoric times, opened in May 2000. History buffs will also enjoy the Cleveland Country Historical House which holds exhibits relating to the development of this area of the state.

For art enthusiasts, the Fred Jones Jr. Memorial Art Center houses permanent collections, nationally and world-renowned traveling exhibits as well as a yearly student art show. The museum has recently added the Weitzenhoffer Collection of French Impressionist paintings -- the single most important gift of art ever given to a U.S. public university.

Oklahoma City, the capital of Oklahoma, is located just 18 miles from the Norman campus. It was the first city settled in the Land Run of 1889 because of its position as the center of the state. It is because of this central location that Oklahoma City has become known as the home of America’s Western heritage. Whether adventure, history, culture or sports, Oklahoma City offers a variety of attractions and activities different from any other place in the country. Oklahoma City was born on the afternoon of April 22, 1889, when the central portion of what is now Oklahoma was opened to settlement by presidential proclamation. Thousands crossed the borders of “unassigned lands” at the sound of gunfire at high noon. Never before or since has such a “run” occurred anywhere on the earth. By the time the dust had settled on that historic day, many people had staked their claim at “Oklahoma Station,” an area which was destined to

become Oklahoma City, a leading city in America. In 1911, Oklahoma City officially became the capital after a statewide election moved the state seal from Guthrie. Oklahoma City has become a haven for exciting sports action. It is home of an NBA team in the Oklahoma City Thunder, two semi-professional sports teams and the host of the NCAA Women

College Softball World Series and Big 12 Baseball Championship. In addition, the city has hosted numerous PGA and Senior PGA Tour events. The Thunder call the Chesapeake Energy Arena in downtown OKC home. The sparkling arena has recently hosted an NCAA Volleyball Final Four in addition to major musical acts like Justin Timberlake, Bruno Mars, Eric Church, Ariana Grande and more. The Oklahoma City Dodgers, 1996 American Associate champions (then as the Oklahoma City 89ers), are the Triple-A baseball affiliate of the Los Angeles Dodgers. The team plays in the 13,000plus seat Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark, one of the plushest venues in all of minor league sports. The ballpark served as host to a 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007 NCAA baseball regionals and hosts the Big 12 Baseball Championship on an annual basis.

WE’RE NUMBER ONE

Oklahoma started the season with a bang, posting the best season-opening score in program history with a 197.700 in a win over No. 8 Georgia. The team snapped up event titles on every apparatus en route to the best team score in the country on opening weekend. The score propelled the squad to a No. 1 national ranking overall the next week. OU also picked up the best scores in the country that weekend on vault (49.475), beam (49.375) and floor (49.500).

THE 198 CLUB

The Sooners broke the 198-mark on Feb. 15 with a 198.175, defeating No. 3 LSU, Arizona and Kentucky at the 2014 Metroplex Challenge. Propelled by 11 scores of 9.9 or better--including a perfect 10.0 from Haley Scaman on floor--the score was the second-highest in program history and the best in the country at that point in the season. Chayse Capps (BB), Scaman (FX) and McKenzie Wofford (UB) each took home event titles, all with scores of 9.975 or better.

CHASING PERFECTION

By the time the final regular season match of the year at Arkansas wrapped up, sophomore Haley Scaman had already rewritten the record books. Scaman became the first-ever Oklahoma gymnast to post three 10.0s in her career, doing it in a single season with perfect marks on floor (twice) and vault (once). Scaman is also the first Sooner to earn 10.0s on multiple events. She capped her sophomore campaign with career-highs on vault (10.0), bars (9.975) and floor (10.0).

CONFERENCE CROWN

The WVU coliseum was clad in blue and gold but dominated by the crimson and cream on March 22. Oklahoma posted the nation’s best conference championship score (198.000) in Morgantown to earn its 12th conference title all-time. Maile’ana Kanewa (V), Haley Scaman (FX) and Taylor Spears (BB) each took home individual Big 12 crowns, while Scaman (Gymnast of the Year), Chayse Capps (Newcomer of the Year) and head coach K.J. Kindler (Coach of the Year) earned postseason honors.

ELITE IN EIGHT

With Oklahoma’s victories over ISU and WVU at the Big 12 Championship meet, head coach K.J. Kindler became one of only three NCAA Division I women’s gymnastics head coaches to earn 200-plus wins in eight or fewer seasons at an institution. OU’s ascent under Kindler continues to impress: in eight seasons, Oklahoma owns a national title, four top-three NCAA finishes, five NCAA regional titles, eight NCAA Championship appearances and seven Big 12 titles.

MOMENT SEIZED

Challenged before the meet by head coach K.J. Kindler to seize the moment at hand, the Sooners responded. OU captured its fifth consecutive regional title in Minneapolis with a score of 197.725, advancing to the NCAA Championships for the 11th straight season. Led by Minnesota native Maile’ana Kanewa’s 9.975, the Sooners exploded for a 49.700 on vault--a new program record, and the highest score on any event in Oklahoma gymnastics history.

STORYBOOK FINISH

In the last routine of NCAA Event Finals, senior Taylor Spears posted a 9.925 to capture the national title on balance beam and secure a magical finish to NCAAs. Spears became OU’s first national champion in 26 years with the routine, capping a stellar career that included being named an AAI Award Finalist in 2014. Sophomores Maile’ana Kanewa and Haley Scaman also tied for NCAA runner-up honors on floor exercise, and no Oklahoma gymnast finished lower than 10th nationally at finals.

RECORDS SHATTERED

It was a year made to re-write the record books. Oklahoma’s team score of 198.175 in the Super Six finals was a new NCAA Championship record, while its 198.000 at the 2014 Big 12 Championship was a conference championship record mark. OU set new program records on vault (49.700) and bars (49.575) while posting four overall team scores, four vault scores, two bars scores, two beam scores and two floor scores that rank in the top five team marks all-time at Oklahoma.

WHEN YOU ACHIEVE THE ULTIMATE GOAL, WHAT COMES READY TO RELOAD IT’S A NEW SEASON WITH A NEW TEAM, NEW GOALS AND NEW FACES. NO ONE HAS HIGHER EXPECTATIONS FOR OKLAHOMA WOMEN’S GYMNASTICS THAN THE TEAM ITSELF, AS HEAD COACH K.J. KINDLER EXPLAINS IN THE 2015 SEASON PREVIEW.


S NEXT? YOU CAN EITHER STAND STILL, OR GO BEYOND. OUT WITH THE OLD

IN WITH THE NEW

Coming off a 2014 Co-NCAA Title—the first in program history—we will lose valuable leadership and experience in graduates Lara Albright, Madison Mooring and Taylor Spears. The three combined for six contributing routines in the 24-person line-up and all three were AllAmericans during their careers.

Our freshmen class will need to contribute right out of the gate to replace valuable losses from the 2014 championship team. Brenna Dowell and Ali Jackson are expected to contend in the all-around eventually this season, but will likely begin on two to three events while working into the collegiate system. Stefani Catour was sidelined in the preseason for a minor injury but continues to prove she can catch up to the group and be a strong option on all four. Natalie Brown has seen a great deal of improvement in the preseason and will likely contribute on beam and floor during 2015, while Samantha Craus continues to make excellent progress on bars and beam.

The biggest loss comes on balance beam, where all three of these athletes contributed to the top seven routines on our OU squad. Floor will also be heavily hit with NCAA event finalist Albright taking her final bow and Spears and Mooring also contributing to the depth. Vault and bars, having only one routine loss on each event, should receive a boost in scoring potential for the Sooners.


VAULT Vault has received the biggest upgrade for our team in 2015. This lineup has power, amplitude and difficulty and should be amongst the best in the country. The depth here is beyond any other event and the amount of athletes who could deliver 9.9s and higher is mind-blowing. As freshmen, Dowell and Jackson will enter the lineup and contribute immediately, performing the most difficult vaults in the squad in a Yurchenko 1.5. The anchor in 2014 and vault NCAA finalist Haley Scaman was our most consistent performer last season. She will again ground the squad in the last position with her dynamic Yurchenko full that can drop on a dime. Chayse Capps, vault All-American Maile’ana Kanewa and Keeley Kmieciak are also capable of outperforming anyone in the field. This stellar six in Scaman, Jackson, Kanewa, Kmieciak, Capps and Dowell will be nearly unstoppable in 2015. To round out the vaulting lineup, look for Stefani Catour, Kara Lovan and Hunter Price to jump into the scene. Catour is powerful and quick and Lovan amazed with awesome landing technique last season. Price has improved leaps and bounds since last season and performs a unique handspring entry front pike with a half twist. Right on their heels are experienced senior Erica Brewer, sophomore McKenzie Wofford and sophomore Charity Jones, who was sidelined earlier this fall with continued plantar fascia issues from 2014. All three are dynamic and expected to be contributors.

UNEVEN BARS In this season, we will lose event anchor Spears, who was as elegant on bars as she was on balance beam. To replace her impeccable routine is a very worthy Dowell, who is well-known for her aggressive swinging on the bars and strong difficulty. A slew of other athletes are stepping up to add depth and choices to our team. In total, we have 12 10.0-valued routines to choose from. Veteran Rebecca Clark will be the priceless starter for us this year. She has a short and sweet exercise with impeccable angle execution and strong shaping throughout her skills. Her elite roots are obvious here. Senior uneven bars All-American Brewer, Scaman and Kmieciak can all hit the mark at 9.9-plus for the Sooners and have the “stick factor” on their side! The two big guns on this event that really highlight the beauty and difficulty of bars are Dowell and sophomore McKenzie Wofford. Wofford made drastic changes to her technique and routine composition in the preseason and after a year of experience, I expect her to shine as a top scorer. She swings with ease and launches her dismount as high as any athlete in the country. Dowell will undoubtedly wow fans with incredible height on her releases and a breathtaking full-twisting double layout dismount. Both athletes are imperative to the scoring potential on this event.

Rounding out this group are five additional athletes that will likely earn a spot during the season. Lovan, Jackson and Catour could secure a place in the lineup and provide a deep group for our staff to select from. Lovan has incredible swing and performs a unique “E” level Hindorf release and pak salto. Jackson’s routine is short and sweet and also highlights an “E” release. Catour adds to the “E” skills with her Ray release and has sticking power in her double layout dismount. In addition, Capps and Jones could gain experience in the lineup. Capps has refined her bar skills over the past year and would be an applauded addition with immaculate form. Jones is powerful and aggressive on this event as well. Finally, two additional athletes are on track to provide even more depth. Craus and sophomore Reagan Hemry both have beautiful routines in the works. This duo is currently working to add upgraded dismounts which will provide a final exclamation point to their clean routines.

BALANCE BEAM Our team has developed a love for competing beam. In 2015, we must replace steady Mooring as well as 2014 NCAA Champion Spears. This is a tall order, but I feel we are up to the challenge. Fans can expect many newcomers to get valuable experience early on. Our beam lineup staples with high-pressure experience include Kmieciak, Lovan, Clark, Brewer and Capps. This lineup has been incredibly tough to crack in the past three years and several athletes who had great scoring potential were often left off the competition roster. Projected starter Kmieciak was sidelined from this event at NCAAs last season but has vital experience leading off this squad during her freshman and sophomore campaigns. She is steady and dependable and boasts the most difficult dismount in the lineup, finishing with a double tuck. Senior Haley Sorensen also has exceptional choreography and amazing consistency. Look for 2015 to be her grand entrance. Clark and Lovan are the likely core of the lineup and provide “WOW” moments within the squad. Clark took on the difficult position of anchor last season, but a move up in the lineup will allow her to compete more aggressively. This is her favorite event and it shows. Her leaps and jumps enhance the lineup and raise the level of her teammate’s performances. Lovan exhibits perfection in her every move. The execution of her skills is nearly flawless. She floats through her routine with a lightness that is effortless. Bringing up the rear on beam are All-Americans Brewer and Capps. Both athletes bring different attributes to the lineup. Brewer takes no prisoners and competes with vigor and confidence. Her difficult tumbling and quick-paced choreography make her incredibly unique on beam. Capps exhibits a smoothness rarely seen on this event with


KARA LOVAN NCAA ALL-AMERICAN 2014 - FLOOR EXERCISE

unusual combinations. She can provide the potential 10.0 the Sooners will need on this event to dominate the competition. Hot on their heels and fully prepared are Brown, Kanewa, Scaman, and Wofford. We expect all four of these athletes to gain important experience early on. Scaman and Kanewa are no strangers to success and both are mesmerizing on this event. Either one of them could become a standout here this season. Brown is poetry in motion. Her toe point and elegant dance coupled with strong tumbling make her an obvious choice. With a couple opportunities under her belt, Wofford is eager to see competition. Her form is gorgeous and her skills are dynamic. Also available at a moment’s notice are a trio of freshmen in Catour, Dowell and Jackson. Catour is proving to be very steady with a new dismount in play and smooth transitions. Dowell is also highlighting a new and difficult dismount combination that includes her “E” level full-twisting back handspring. Jackson has revamped her former beam routine, changing nearly every element and thriving in the process.

FLOOR EXERCISE Similar to beam, floor will provide opportunity for newcomers to explode on the scene for our team this season. New and exciting routines were created in the preseason and provide styles that range from swing to hip hop. We try to provide opportunities for each athlete to express her own personal style and dynamic tumbling. The line-up will highlight “E” level tumbling passes throughout and high energy choreography to keep the crowd on their feet. So who will replace the strong performances of Albright and Spears? Likely replacements are Dowell and Jackson. These two can tumble anyone under the table. Brenna will impress with a double front to open her routine, beautiful leaps and a kick-up in her dance style. Ali has a crowd-pleasing hip hop piece that will bring fans to their feet. She has the entire package: tumbling, sass and attitude. These two routines will be the most eagerly anticipated performances from our team in 2015.

Starting the lineup will be the dynamic Brewer. Her techno Lion King music is incredibly fitting, thanks to her “King of the Jungle” approach and energy every day in practice. A focus on improving her leaps and jumps has proven fruitful and will elevate her scoring potential. Scaman will take on the challenge of anchoring this squad in 2015. The NCAA runner-up in last year’s NCAA event finals on this event, she provides the slam dunk that we need. Scaman has stepped outside her comfort zone with a blues musical piece that will keep the fans captivated. Opening with one of the most amazing double layouts in college gymnastics and closing the routine with a new upgraded double pike, Scaman is ready to rock again this season. I expect crowd darlings and incredible talents Kanewa and Capps to once again amaze with their whole-package presentation. Kanewa wowed everyone with her second place finish at NCAAs last season and has done the unthinkable this season by truly stepping up her game. Capps has upgraded her first pass, which will be added to her routine in 2015. Her dancing talents are highlighted in her energetic, constantlymoving routine. Returning All-American Lovan will make the biggest dancing metamorphosis from last season. I know she will be a fan favorite this year with tumbling as clean as a whistle and new, entertaining and intricate dance. You will not be able to take your eyes off her! Other athletes prepared include Catour, Brown and Kmieciak. Catour is a powerful tumbler with springy leaps who is surprisingly expressive and dramatic in her dance. Brown has upgraded her final pass and is deceptively quick. Kmieciak could also see her first appearance in the floor exercise lineup since her all-around win against UCLA in her freshman season. Jones and Wofford are also capable of contributing this season.

HeadCoach K.J.

KINDLER NINTH SEASON (215-50-3) - IOWA STATE ‘92

Where many said K.J. Kindler would never go was exactly where the head coach of the Oklahoma women’s gymnastics team has led her program. Now entering her ninth season at OU, Kindler has elevated the program to the absolute heights of the NCAA gymnastics world. A two-time National Coach of the Year, Kindler took her 2014 Sooners to the pinnacle of the sport, winning the program’s first-ever NCAA title in record-breaking fashion. A visionary with the heart and willpower to accomplish what few thought was possible, Kindler made Oklahoma only the sixth team in NCAA history to win a women’s gymnastics championship last year. Kindler’s 2014 Sooners were Big 12 champions, NCAA Minneapolis Regional Champions and earned nine NCAA All-America awards. The team shattered records throughout the season, posting championship meet records at the NCAA Super Six team finals (198.175) and the Big 12 Championship (198.000). OU crushed its program record scores on vault (49.700) and bars (49.525) under Kindler’s leadership as well. The primary beam coach for Oklahoma, Kindler coached senior Taylor Spears to an NCAA individual title on the event in 2014. Spears became OU’s first individual national champion on any event in 26 years and was joined by Maile’ana Kanewa (floor exercise) and Haley Scaman (floor exercise) in earning top-two NCAA finishes. Kindler earned her 200th win at Oklahoma when the Sooners defeated Iowa State and West Virginia at the conference championship meet, becoming one of only three NCAA Division I women’s gymnastics coaches to earn 200-plus wins in eight or fewer seasons at an institution. Her work has been recognized across the country, as Kindler was named one of the top 25 more influential people in gymnastics by International Gymnast Magazine. In 2013, Kindler led OU to the program’s third NCAA Super Six team finals appearance. The squad earned seven All-America honors en route to a second-place team effort overall, tying for the highest finish in program history. The performance marked OU’s third topthree finish in the last four seasons under Kindler. Kindler’s 2010 team also achieved a second-place finish in OU’s first-ever Super Six appearance. With the performance, Kindler became the first head coach in NCAA history to lead two separate programs to the Super Six (Iowa State--2006; Oklahoma--2010, 2011, 2013 and 2014).

Under Kindler’s leadership, OU has captured six Big 12 championships, five consecutive NCAA regional titles and 50 NCAA All-America awards. The collegiate gymnastics community has recognized Kindler for her coaching achievements, awarding her National Coach of Year honors twice (2005 and 2010), Regional Coach of the Year accolades six times (2004, 2006, 2010, 2011, 2013 and 2014) and Big 12 Coach of the Year laurels a programrecord eight times (2004, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2010, 2011, 2013 and 2014).


FIRST COACH IN NCAA HISTORY TO LEAD TWO PROGRAMS TO THE SUPER SIX TWO-TIME NATIONAL COACH OF THE YEAR EIGHT-TIME BIG 12 COACH OF THE YEAR HEAD COACH TO 66 ALL-AMERICANS AND 37 BIG 12 CHAMPIONS Kindler has bolstered OU to new heights, coaching 50 All-Americans, 25 Big 12 Champions and 19 NCAA Regional champions in just eight seasons at Oklahoma.

All-America status with her stellar performance on beam as the Sooners won eight beam titles in 2009.

The 2013 season marked one of the finest in Oklahoma program history. OU spent the entirety of the season ranked in the top three nationally, including two weeks at No. 1. The primary beam coach, Kindler led the beam squad to a No. 1 ranking for 11 consecutive weeks during the regular season. OU defeated nine top-25 teams, including four top-10 squads, en route to the program’s 11th conference title and an NCAA Regional championship.

In 2008, Kindler guided Kiara Redmond as the senior capped off her illustrious career with four additional All-America honors, moving her career total to nine - the highest tally of any gymnast in program history. The 2008 campaign started with 21 consecutive victories, including all 18 regular season meetings, as OU finished the regular season as the only undefeated team in the country.

The Sooners’ regular season efforts were recognized with a nation-best 11 NACGC/W All-America awards. Kindler’s leadership throughout the team’s stellar season earned her Coach of the Year honors from the Big 12 and the South Central Region. Kindler’s OU squad was marked by excellence at both the team and individual levels in 2013. The team posted a 197.375 at the NCAA Championships to finish as the nation’s runner-up, tying for the highest finish in Sooner history. OU scored a 197.000 or better at 13 meets in 2013, tying an NCAA record for most such meets in a single season. Kindler has combined athletic and academic success throughout her career with 78 Academic All-Big 12 honorees and 50 NACGC/W Scholastic All-Americans. In 2012, Kindler led the Sooners to team titles at the Big 12 Championship and the NCAA Champaign Regional. Kinder was named conference coach of the year and OU captured seven All-America awards and a seventh-place finish in the country. Kindler was named the South Central Regional Head Coach of the Year in 2011 after guiding OU to its third undefeated regular season in four years. A program-best 11 OU gymnasts were named All-Americans as the Sooners went on to win an NCAA Regional title and finish third in the nation.

Oklahoma produced a conference-leading nine spots on the 2008 regular season All-Big 12 Team. OU recorded only two scores lower than 9.8 in the final three events of the 2008 conference championship as the Sooners clinched at least a share of all four individual event titles marking just the third time in Big 12 history that a school clinched at least a share of all four apparatus wins. Named head coach of the Sooners in the summer of 2006, Kindler quickly positioned the OU squad among the nation’s elite in her first season in Norman in 2007. That year, the Sooners rattled off a streak of 12 consecutive victories, nine of which came on the road, including an upset of then-No. 6 Nebraska in Lincoln, a feat no OU team had accomplished since 1991. Oklahoma finished second at the Big 12 Championships before heading to the NCAA Central Regional, taking second place before finishing eighth at the NCAA Championships, the highest finish up to that point in program history. Prior to her hiring at OU, Kindler spent six seasons as the head coach at Iowa State. In her final season in Ames in 2006, Kindler led Iowa State to its third trip to the NCAA Championships and its first appearance in the Super Six team finals.

On Jan. 23, 2011, Kindler collected her 100th win with the OU program as the Sooners defeated TWU, 196.175-193.050. OU is a combined 179-48-2 in seven seasons under Kindler; she has helped the program to its four best win percentages in program history in the last four seasons.

The 24-10 Cyclones produced three All-Americans for a second-consecutive season while posting an undefeated mark at home, a 10-1 dual record and an 8-1 standard in duals against ranked opponents. The team also snapped Nebraska’s 60-meet home winning streak.

In 2010, the National Coach of the Year, Regional Coach of the Year and Big 12 Coach of the Year led Oklahoma to a national runner-up finish at the NCAA Championships with seven All-Americans, including Big 12 Sportswoman of the Year Hollie Vise. Vise was an AllAmerican on bars, beam and floor and finished as the national runner-up on bars and floor.

The 2006 squad won its first Big 12 Championship since 2000, and three Cyclone gymnasts earned either an outright or share of an individual title at the meet. During six seasons at ISU from 2001-06, Kindler coached nine regional event champions, seven NCAA individual championship qualifiers and 13 Big 12 champions.

Under the direction of Kindler, the Sooners closed 2010 with a final record of 29-3. The win total broke the previous program best of 26 that was set in 1989 under Becky Switzer. Kindler guided the Sooners to the only undefeated regular season in the NCAA in 2010 (22-0) en route to postseason titles at the Big 12 Championship and NCAA University Park Regional.

Kindler, an Iowa State graduate, joined the Cyclone staff as an assistant coach in 1992. As an ISU gymnast, Kindler was a three-time MVP for the Cyclones and runner-up in the all-around at the 1992 Big Eight Championships. She was the school’s first individual NCAA Regional qualifier and competed three times in the postseason meet.

OU was ranked first or second in every regular season poll in 2010, as the Sooners were the only squad in the country to score above a 196.000 in every meet. Oklahoma also picked up its first win over a No. 1 opponent in program history in 2010 with a 197.950-197.275 victory over top-ranked Alabama on March 5. OU eclipsed its previous program best (197.725) by 0.225 in the win, which was the highest score in the NCAA that season. Kindler’s squad continued its Big 12 dominance, winning its third-straight Big 12 title with a team score of 197.175, the highest score by a conference champion since 2001. OU swept all four team event titles and won at least a share of all four individual event titles. The Sooners won their second-straight Big 12 title in 2009, while posting individual event titles on bars and beam at the conference championship. Megan Ferguson earned

Kindler hails from Lake Elmo, Minn., and trained under Mary Jane Olsen at Hamline University in St. Paul. In high school, she moved to Connecticut and trained under Frank and Laurie DeFrancesco at Arena Academy in Stamford and Walter Hawkes at Wilton High School. In Connecticut, she won multiple conference and state titles. The eldest of five siblings, Kindler hails from a gymnastics family. One sister, Lori, competed at the University of Minnesota. She and her husband own and operate Flips Gymnastics in the Twin Cities area. Kindler’s nieces, Emma and Lucy Kindler, enjoy recreational gymnastics. Kindler is married to OU assistant coach Lou Ball. The couple has two daughters, Maggie and Adelade.

AssistantCoach

LOU BALL NINTH SEASON - IOWA STATE ‘99

Assistant coach Lou Ball enters his ninth season with Oklahoma women’s gymnastics as the primary coach on vault and co-coach on uneven bars.

Sooners won a Big 12 championship and took top honors at the NCAA Norman Regional en route to their record-setting performance.

The 2010 National Assistant Coach of the Year along with fellow OU assistant coach Tom Haley, Ball has aided OU to four top-three finishes at the NCAA Championships in 2010, 2011, 2013 and 2014, including Oklahoma’s first-ever NCAA championship effort in 2014. The Sooners also notched NCAA runner-up finishes in 2010 and 2013.

Ball’s vault squad captured a total of 13 individual event titles on the season. Under Ball’s tutelage, freshman Maile’ana Kanewa overcame preseason surgery to earn top honors on vault three times, including the Big 12 vault championship. Ball also coached Madison Mooring to first-team All-America honors and an appearance in the NCAA individual finals on the event.

Ball has been named Region Assistant Coach of the Year six times on his way to helping OU to six Big 12 Championships in the past eight years and five straight NCAA Regional titles. OU has garnered 19 All-America honors on bars and vault under Ball’s leadership, including NCAA vault runner-up Madison Mooring in 2011 and top-five finishers Haley Scaman (third) and Maile’ana Kanewa (fourth) in 2014. Gymnasts at Oklahoma have brought home 12 awards on bars and eight on vault in the past seven seasons. Ball’s efforts have also resulted in seven Big 12 champions on bars and six on vault for the Sooners. Ball helped lead OU to an incredible 2014 season that included the NCAA gymnastics “triple crown”: an NCAA Championship, NCAA Regional title and a Big 12 Conference crown. The Sooners set team scoring records at both the NCAA Super Six finals (198.175) as well as the Big 12 Championship meet (198.000). Ball’s vaulting corps were a crucial key to OU’s extraordinary season in 2014. His Sooners averaged a program-best 49.475 over the course of the season on the event, winning 12 event titles overall. OU notched an exceptional five of the top six scores all-time for an Oklahoma team, including a program-record 49.700 at the NCAA Minneapolis Regional in April. Sophomore Haley Scaman thrived under Ball’s tutelage on vault, posting OU’s first perfect 10.0 on the event since 2010 in March. Scaman went on to earn first-team AllAmerica honors on vault with a third-place national finish, while Maile’ana Kanewa was also a first-team selection with a fourth-place finish overall. On uneven bars, Ball and Haley coached senior Taylor Spears to first-team All-America honors at NCAAs for her performance. Ball and Haley’s gymnasts won 11 total uneven bars titles throughout the season. In 2013, Ball helped coach OU to a national runner-up finish at the NCAA Championships, tying for what was then the best finish in program history. The

Ball and Haley teamed up to coach three Sooner gymnasts to All-America honors on bars. Erica Brewer and Rebecca Clark both earned first-team All-America honors and top-10 NCAA finishes on the event, while Brie Olson was a second-team All-American. Ball and Haley’s gymnasts captured 18 titles on bars throughout the season. In 2012, Ball helped coach OU to a Big 12 championship, regional championship and seventh-place national finish, marking Oklahoma’s ninth-straight trip to the NCAAs. Oklahoma’s 2011 squad earned its third undefeated regular season in four years while 11 gymnasts captured All-America honors. Ball again earned coach of the year honors at the regional level as he aided OU to the NCAA Norman Regional title and a thirdplace performance at the NCAA Championships. In 2010, OU finished in a program-best second place after making its first-ever NCAA Super Six team finals appearance. The Sooners also went undefeated in the regular season, beat No. 1 Alabama and eight other top-25 opponents, claimed their thirdstraight Big 12 Championship and won the 2010 NCAA University Park Regional title. OU won 12 of 13 team event titles on bars under the direction of Haley and Ball, while Hollie Vise earned All-America distinction and was NCAA Runner-Up on the apparatus. The Sooners didn’t count a fall on the apparatus in 2010 and posted only two team scores below 49.000. Ball’s vault squad posted a team score of 49.000 or higher in 14 of 15 competitions in 2010. OU won the team vault title 11 times in 2010, including the Big 12 vault title and NCAA University Park Regional vault title. Under Ball’s leadership, an OU gymnast won the individual vault title 11 times, including the Big 12 vault title (shared by Jackie Flanery, Brie Olson and Natalie Ratcliff). Ball also helped Sara Stone achieve the program’s first perfect score since 2008 when Stone posted a 10.0 on vault at Michigan State.


TWO-TIME NATIONAL ASSISTANT COACH OF THE YEAR SIX-TIME REGIONAL ASSISTANT COACH OF THE YEAR COACHED 20 ALL-AMERICANS ON VAULT AND BARS COACHED 13 BIG 12 CHAMPIONS ON VAULT AND BARS In 2009, OU closed the year with top-10 team rankings on both vault and bars and won a combined 14 team titles on the two events. Every member of the 2009 Oklahoma vault lineup posted a season high of at least 9.85, including three with scores higher than 9.9. Ball’s expertise on the two events was evident in 2008 as Oklahoma closed the season ranked first in the Big 12 and 10th in the country on both apparatuses. OU won 11 bars titles and notched 10 wins on vault during the regular season, capped off by 23 individual event titles on the two events alone. In his first season at OU in 2007, Ball also guided Brittney Koncak-Schumann to AllAmerica status on vault. Prior to joining the Oklahoma program, Ball spent 11 years as administrative assistant coach at Iowa State where he was named the 2005 NACGCW National Co-Assistant Coach of the Year. He was also honored as an NCAA Regional Assistant Coach of the Year in 2004 and 2002. At Iowa State, Ball served as the primary coach on vault and uneven bars. During his tenure in Ames, the Cyclones rewrote the school record books on both events and six of his gymnasts won Big 12 titles on bars. Ball also coached a two-time regional bars co-champion and a pair of two-time AllAmericans on vault. While at Iowa State, Ball was a co-owner and head coach at the Cardinal Gymnastics Academy where he qualified five gymnasts to the national TOPS team and camp held annually at USA gymnastics coach Bela Karolyi’s ranch. Ball and K.J. Kindler have had five of their club gymnasts go on to compete at the NCAA level. In addition, Ball coached individuals to Level 10 USA Nationals for eight consecutive years, and his Level 8, 9 and 10 teams all captured Iowa state titles. In 1999 and 2001 Ball was named Iowa USA Gymnastics Coach of the Year. Prior to his time in Iowa, Ball served as head coach at Cahoy’s Gymnastics School in Omaha, Neb., for three years where he led several individuals to berths at USA Nationals. As an athlete, Ball competed as a vault and floor exercise specialist at the University of Nebraska from 1990-93. He was an NCAA vault finalist in 1992 and helped the Cornhuskers to a runner-up finish at the NCAA Championships in 1992 and 1993. Ball also earned All-Big Eight honors on vault in 1992 and 1993. Ball transferred to Nebraska in 1990 after spending two seasons as a member of the gymnastics team at Michigan. Ball earned a bachelor’s degree in liberal studies from Iowa State in 1999. He is married to OU head coach K.J. Kindler and the couple lives in Norman with their two daughters, Maggie and Adelade.

AssistantCoach

TOM HALEY NINTH SEASON

Tom Haley enters his ninth year as an assistant coach for the Oklahoma women’s gymnastics team in 2014. The 2010 National Assistant Coach of the Year with fellow OU assistant Lou Ball, Haley also shared the 2011, 2013 and 2014 awards for South Central Region Assistant Coach of the Year with Ball, giving him five career Region Coach of the Year honors. Haley’s work aided Oklahoma to an extraordinary season in 2014, culminating in the first NCAA title in OU program history. The Sooners also captured an NCAA Regional title and a Big 12 crown, completing an NCAA gymnastics “triple crown.” OU set team scoring records at both the Super Six finals (198.175) as well as the conference championnship meet (198.000). The primary floor coach and co-coach on bars, Haley coached an outstanding five Sooner gymnasts to All-America honors in 2014: Lara Albright, Maile’ana Kanewa, Kara Lovan and Haley Scaman on floor exercise, and Taylor Spears on bars. Of those five gymnasts, four (Albright, Kanewa, Scaman and Spears) were all first-team selections on their events. Haley’s influence could particularly be seen on floor exercise, where he coached both Kanewa and Scaman to 9.95 performances and national runner-up finishes at NCAA Event Finals. His work with Albright was equally impressive, elevating the former transfer and walk-on gymnast to All-America status and a fourth-place national finish on the event.

In 2010, OU finished in a program-best second place after making its first-ever NCAA Super Six team finals appearance. The Sooners also went undefeated in the regular season, beat No. 1 Alabama and eight other top-25 opponents, claimed their thirdstraight Big 12 Championship and won the 2010 NCAA University Park Regional title. After the Sooners’ stellar 2010 season, Haley was named National Assistant Coach of the Year along with fellow OU assistant coach Lou Ball. The two also shared 2010 Regional Assistant Coach of the Year honors. Haley helped the Sooners shine on floor in 2010, as OU scored a 49.000 or higher on the apparatus in every competition. Under Haley’s tutelage, senior Hollie Vise finished in second place on floor at the NCAA Individual Event Finals and earned All-American honors on the apparatus in her first season of competition on the event

University President

DAVID BOREN 13TH PRESIDENT - UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA

David L. Boren, who has served Oklahoma as governor and U.S. senator, became the thirteenth president of the University of Oklahoma in November 1994. He is the first person in state history to have served in all three positions. Boren is widely respected for his academic credentials, his longtime support of education, and for his distinguished political career as a reformer of the American political system. A graduate of Yale University in 1963, Boren majored in American history, graduated in the top one percent of his class and was elected Phi Beta Kappa. He was selected as a Rhodes Scholar and earned a master’s degree in politics, philosophy and economics from Oxford University, England, in 1965. In 1968, he received a law degree from the University of Oklahoma College of Law, where he was on the Law Review, elected to the Order of the Coif, and won the Bledsoe Prize as the outstanding graduate by a vote of the faculty. As Oklahoma’s governor from 1974 through 1978, Boren promoted key educational initiatives that have had an enduring impact on Oklahoma. Established during his tenure were the Oklahoma Arts Institute, the ScholarLeadership Enrichment Program, and the Oklahoma Physicians Manpower Training Program, which provides scholarships for medical students and medical personnel who commit to practice in underserved rural areas. Also, the first state funding for Gifted and Talented classes was provided in 1976 and, from 1976 through 1978, Oklahoma ranked first among all states in the percentage increases of funding for higher education. One of Boren’s most far-reaching projects in promoting quality education at all levels is the Oklahoma Foundation for Excellence, which he founded in 1985. The foundation recognizes outstanding public school students and teachers and helps establish private local foundations to help give academic endowment grants to local public schools. As a senator, he was the author of the National Security Education Act in 1992, which provides scholarships for study abroad and for learning additional languages, as well as legislation to restore the tax deductibility of gifts of appreciated property to universities in 1993. Boren, also a former state legislator, spent nearly three decades in elective politics before becoming the president of the University of Oklahoma. Boren was the youngest governor in the nation when he served from 1974 to 1978. Known as a reformer, Boren campaigned with a broom as his symbol. During

14

his term, he instituted many progressive programs, including conflict-ofinterest rules, campaign-financing disclosure, stronger open meeting laws for public bodies, more competitive bidding on state government contracts, and reform of the state’s prison system, including expanded education programs for first-time offenders and the largest expansion of the work-release program in state history. During his time in the U.S. Senate from 1979 to 1994, Boren served on the Senate Finance and Agriculture Committees and was the longest-serving chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. From his days as a state legislator and governor of Oklahoma to Washington, Boren carried a commitment to reform, leading numerous efforts to make government work better for American citizens. As chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, he strengthened oversight of secret government programs and reformed the procedures for Presidential notice of such programs to Congress. For more than 10 years, he led the fight for congressional campaign finance reform and for legislation discouraging administration and congressional staff from cashing in on government experience and contacts by becoming lobbyists. In addition, he introduced legislation seeking to limit gifts and travel subsidies that government workers, including members of Congress, can receive from lobbyists. Boren also chaired the special 1992-93 Joint Committee on the Organization of Congress, which produced proposals to make Congress more efficient and responsive by streamlining congressional bureaucracy, reducing staff sizes and reforming procedures to end legislative gridlock. Boren left the U.S. Senate in 1994 with an approval rating of 91 percent after being reelected with 83 percent of the vote in 1990, the highest percentage in the nation in a U.S. Senate contest in that election year. Boren served from 1988 to 1997 as a member of the Yale University Board of Trustees. His university experience also includes four years on the faculty of Oklahoma Baptist University, where he was chairman of the Department of Political Science and chairman of the Division of Social Sciences. In 1993, the American Association of University Professors presented Boren with the Henry Yost Award as Education Advocate of the Year. In April 2004, Boren received the Mory’s Cup from the Mory’s Association at Yale University. In making the presentation to Boren it was noted that he was the first Yale graduate in the university’s history extending over three centuries


to have served as a Governor, U.S. Senator and President of a major university.

Oklahoma to find an educational experience to match their potential.

Under Boren’s leadership, the University of Oklahoma has developed and emerged as a “pacesetter university in American public higher education,” with 20 major new programs initiated since his inauguration. They include establishment of the Honors College, the Charles M. Russell Center for the Study of Art of the American West, a new expository writing program for freshmen modeled on the program at Harvard, an interdisciplinary religious studies program, the Artist-in-Residence Program, the International Programs Center, and the Faculty-in-Residence Program putting faculty family apartments in student residence halls. The Retired Professors Program has been started, bringing 50 retired full professors back to the University to teach freshmen.

In 1995, Boren launched the “Reach for Excellence” fundraising campaign with a five-year goal of $200 million, which was twice as large as any fundraising drive in Oklahoma history. The drive exceeded $500 million, raising OU into the top 15 public universities in the United States in private endowment per capita. Since 1994, endowed professorships have more than quadrupled and the OU donor base has grown from 18,000 to more than 107,000 friends and alumni. During the first 10 years of Boren’s tenure over $1 billion in private gifts were donated to the university.

The number of new facilities started or completed on the campus during the Boren years has matched the explosion in new programs. Since 1994, almost $1 billion in construction projects have been completed or are under way on OU’s three campuses. Among the largest of the recent projects are the $18.7 million renovation and expansion of historic Holmberg Hall, home of music and dance programs; the $67 million National Weather Center; the $19 million addition to the Michael F. Price College of Business; the $17 million Gaylord Hall for journalism and mass communication; the $27 million Stephenson Research and Technology Center; and the $83.5 million stadium project. The Health Sciences Center has a new Student Union, and the new $24 million Stanton L. Young Biomedical Research Center. Presidential Travel Scholarships, students from 111 countries on campus, more reciprocal international exchange agreements than any other university and the new International Programs Center are all making OU more international. The new Honors College helps to assure that no students need to leave

Above all, the Boren years have been marked by an emphasis on putting students first. There is not a university president in the country that is more committed to students as his number one priority. He teaches a freshmanlevel course in political science each semester and is one of the few presidents of major universities to teach. Boren is married to Molly Shi Boren, a former judge and English teacher. Mrs. Boren is President Emeritus of the Oklahoma Arts Institute, which provides education programs in nine arts disciplines for high school students from across the state who are gifted in the arts. Molly Boren has two degrees from the University of Oklahoma, a master’s degree in English and a Juris Doctorate from the OU College of Law. A native of Seminole, Boren has two children, Carrie Christine Boren, an Episcopal minister, and David Daniel Boren, a member of the United States Congress from Oklahoma. Devoting much of his life to public service, Boren drew from the example of his parents, the late Congressman Lyle H. Boren and Christine Boren.

Director ofAthletics

JOE CASTIGLIONE VICE PRESIDENT FOR INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETIC PROGRAMS AND DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

When Joe Castiglione came to Oklahoma, he inherited one of the most storied programs in college athletics, and he set about the business of making it better. Some would argue that the past 16 years represent the best of the best. With nine national championships and 67 conference titles, including seven in the 2014-15 academic year, during his tenure, Castiglione’s record is certainly one of great merit. Add in the impressive numbers in the classroom for his Sooners and you get a sense of the overall excellence that Castiglione has encouraged and built. A place where competitive dreams come true and academic excellence are the expectations, not the exceptions, has been created at OU by Castiglione with the full support of OU President David L. Boren and OU’s Board of Regents. The 11th and now second longest serving director of athletics at OU, Castiglione arrived on the Sooner campus in summer of 1998 and what he found was nothing like what we see today. He made a number of changes, and, in the process, created a team of administrators, coaches and support staff who pursue and achieve lofty goals under the banner of ethical integrity. The Sooners continue to rank among the top 20 in the annual Learfield Director’s Cup, including an all-time best of seventh in 2012-13. The 2013-14 competition season resulted in OU’s fifth consecutive top 20 finish and the 14th in the top 30 in Castiglione’s 16 seasons at the helm. Oklahoma’s consistent performance in the Director’s Cup has been built through overall success in competition. OU sent eight of nine spring sport teams to the postseason and a total of seven teams, led by the 2014 women’s gymnastics team’s national championship, finished in the top 10 throughout the year. That number included runner-up NCAA finishes by the men’s gymnstics and men’s tennis teams as well as top 10 finishes from women’s golf (fourth), softball (fifth), football (sixth), wrestling (10th). The true measure of achievement for Castiglione and, by extension, the department’s coaches and staff, is demonstrated in the success of the student-athletes in relation to the department’s mission statement “Inspiring champions today … Preparing leaders for tomorrow.” Castiglione believes that excellence on the field of competition should correlate with the outstanding results from the classroom. OU student-athletes once again recorded a cumulative GPA over 3.00 for the 2013-14 academic year, a streak of five consecutive semesters of a 3.00-plus GPA. The 2013 fall semester produced an all-time best single semester GPA of 3.06. Nine Sooner programs recorded a perfect 1.000 Academic Progress Rate as the APR held steady or improved for 16 of 21 teams. Since arriving at OU, Castiglione has insisted that daily and long-term decisions be made in a financially responsible manner. The department has closed the books in the black

16

in each of the last 16 years, making it one of the few Division I programs which remain totally self-sustaining. His understanding of how the department fits into the University’s academic mission led to a decision to increase the direct support provided by the department on an annual basis. The most recent demonstration of that commitment led to a partnership with President Boren’s office that eliminated the admission fee at OU’s internationally known Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art. Through direct and indirect support, OU Athletics provides more than $8 million annually to OU’s academics budget. Facility improvement and construction at athletics facilities has been carried out at a record pace and Castiglione takes pride in the fact that those improvements have been paid for with private money. The most recent facility is the $75 million Headington Hall, which provides housing for the general student population as well as student-athletes. The state-of-the-art building opened in August 2013 and makes OU the leader in providing an engaging community living option for OU students. Castiglione understands that facilities are a key component in recruiting as well as for the thousands of Sooner fans who come to the Norman campus to cheer on their favorite team. With that knowledge, OU administrators recently announced a $370 million update to the Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium Master Plan. To be carried out over the next several years, the improvements will directly affect every Sooner student-athlete and every fan who enters the historic stadium. Castiglione is quick to give full credit to the student-athletes and coaches, the staff, OU President Boren, the OU Board of Regents, the donors and the fans for the success experienced during his tenure. It was that commitment to a team approach emphasis that was one of the many qualities that that the search committee recognized when they recommended Castiglione to university administration in April of 1998 after an outstanding administrative career at Missouri. In recognition of the many achievements of his tenure, Castiglione was named National Athletic Director of the Year in May 2009 by the Sports Business Journal. The National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame named him the 2013 recipient of the John L. Toner Award, presented annually by the NFF to an athletic director who has demonstrated superior administrative abilities and shown outstanding dedication to college athletics and particularly college football. In April 2014, Castilgione received the Abe Lemons/Paul Hansen Award for Sports Excellence from Oklahoma City University. His peers have honored him as well. In November 2012, the United States Sports Academy named him the winner of the Carl Maddox Sports Management Award. In October 2004, the Bobby Dodd Foundation named him Athletics Director of the Year. In 2003, he was inducted into the National Association of Collegiate Marketing Administrators Hall of Fame. In June 2001, he received the General Robert R. Neyland Athletic Director Award for lifetime achievement from the All-American Football Foundation.


The National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) named him Central Region AD of the Year in 2000. The department received the 2007 PRISM Award, presented by the School of Sports Management at the University of Massachusetts. OU was just the second Division I winner and all of the programs recognized by the selection panel were started under Castiglione’s leadership with the full support of university administration. The achievement that may bring him the most pride came in May 2007 when he completed a master’s of education degree from OU. Subsequently, he became an adjunct professor in the College of Education, teaching graduate classes in Marketing, Development and Leadership in Higher Education. He was recently named to the Jeannine Rainbolt Colege of Education Board of Advocates. Castiglione was instrumental in the athletics department’s major campaign, Great Expectations: The Campaign For Sooner Sports. The then largest fund-raising effort in OU athletics history included projects that impacted each of OU’s 21 sports and has become a national model for intercollegiate athletics. The campaign ended three years later with more than $125 million raised and that figure has grown to more than $380 million since then as funds continue to be raised for facility improvements and scholarship endowments. Hired on April 30, 1998, Castiglione joined the Sooner family after serving as athletics director at Missouri. In his 17-year career with the Tigers, Castiglione, who was named director of athletics at Missouri on Dec. 15, 1993, was credited with rebuilding sports programs, hiring outstanding coaches, implementing an innovative master plan for facilities, inspiring record-setting increases in fund-raising and balancing the budget in each of his five years as athletics director. A 1979 Maryland graduate, Castiglione received the University’s Distinguished Alumnus Award in April 2007. He began his career as the sports promotions director at Rice. He then worked a year as director of athletic fund-raising at Georgetown before being hired in 1981 at Missouri as director of communications and marketing.

His commitment to the success of student-athletes has gone beyond the Norman campus and he has served at the national and conference level. He is entering his fourth year on the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee. He chaired the NCAA’s Football Academic Progress Rate (APR) Working Group and completed service on the NCAA Working Group on Collegiate Model-Rules Committee. He also serves on the Gatorade Collegiate Advisory Board and the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame Board of Directors. He served three terms as the chair of the Big 12 Board of Athletics Directors and is a past president of both the Division I-A Athletic Directors Association and NACDA. He served a four-year term on the NCAA Championship/Competition Cabinet and the NCAA Baseball Committee and is a past member of the NCAA Football Special Events Certification Committee. He has served on the NCAA Diversity Leadership Strategic Planning Committee, the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Discussion Group, the United States Olympic Committee Athlete Career and Education Strategic Working Group and the NCAA Football Issues Committee of which he now serves as chairman. A former member of the Phi Delta Theta Foundation Board of Trustees, he is a highly requested speaker at annual conventions and continuing education institutes. In November 2011, he was named to his hometown, Broward County (Fla.) Sports Hall of Fame. His involvement in the local community has led to service with civic clubs, churches and charities, including the United Way of Norman, recently serving his third term as OU’s campus co-chair, which resulted in the highest recorded contributions ever by faculty, staff and students to the United Way of Norman’s annual campaign. He encourages student-athletes and athletics staff to participate in those efforts as well, and in 201314, OU Athletics representatives logged more than 4,000 hours of community service. A native of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Castiglione is married to the former Kristen Bartel, a 1990 graduate of the University of Missouri. They are the parents of two sons, Joseph Robert, Jr. and Jonathan Edmund.

NCAA HISTORY TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE

Oklahoma has soared to new heights under head coach K.J. Kindler, building on the incredible tradition of Sooner gymnastics. OU has reached the postseason every year since 1998 and has advanced to the NCAA Championships each season since 2004, including all eight years under Kindler. In 2014, Kindler led OU to the ultimate achievement in NCAA gymnastics: its first-ever NCAA title. Since taking the helm at OU, Kindler has led Oklahoma to four Super Six appearances. OU has never placed lower than third in the final round of NCAA competition and owns three top-two NCAA finishes in the past five seasons alone. At the regional level, OU has been dominant under Kindler. The Sooners have captured five consecutive NCAA regional titles and have not finished lower than second since 2003.
