OU women's gymnastics: Sooners hoping new setup keeps the crowds growing

NORMAN — Jordan Draper still gets chills when she thinks about the Sooners’ women’s gymnastics team’s meet against UCLA last season.

“It was electric in there,” the junior said of the record crowd of 10,177 for the top-ranked Sooners’ win over the No. 2 Bruins last March at Lloyd Noble Center.

For most every meet since K.J. Kindler arrived as OU’s coach in 2006, a large curtain has run along the west side of the arena, eliminating a large portion of the seats from being able to be used.

For that meet last season, the curtain came down.
