OU women's gymnastics: Why Metroplex Challenge podium meet is 'hugely important' for Sooners' progress

NORMAN — OU hopes its women’s gymnastics season ends with a triumph at the Fort Worth Convention Center.

This weekend figures to end in victory in the building for the No. 4 Sooners, but could be key toward helping OU achieve its ultimate goal of winning the national championship when it’s held in the arena April 16-17.

The Sooners take on Texas Woman’s and Centenary as part of the Metroplex Challenge beginning at 7 p.m. Saturday.

Saturday’s meet will be OU’s only podium meet of the season.

Having the event surface elevates on the podium gives a springier surface to the events, something that takes some getting used to.
