The University of Oklahoma men's AND women's NCAA Gymnastics teams both finished second place at the 2013 NCAA Championships! Both were in contention for the National title.
On two different sides of the country, the two Oklahoma gymnastics teams each stood on the podium as national runners-up just hours apart on April 20, the highest combined finish of any school's gymnastics squads in the country.
By finishing second at both NCAA Championships, the Sooners became just the third university in NCAA gymnastics history to have both programs finish in the top two in the same season, joining UCLA in 1984 and Michigan in 1999 when both the Wolverines and the Bruins had their men finish first and women finish second.

Coach Kindler is in her 5th season as the head coach of the University of Oklahoma women's team. In 2010, Kindler not only led the Sooners to a historic 2nd place finish at NCAAs, their highest finish in school history, but was also unanimously named the NCAA Coach of the Year.
Before coming to OU, Kindler competed for Iowa State University, where she pioneered the success of ISU gymnastics. She was the first ISU gymnast to qualify for Regionals in program history, and she managed to qualify 3 out of her 4 years. She was also '92 Big 8 AA runner-up.
After graduation, Kindler joined the coaching staff as an assistant coach and the ISU program continued to grow from there. She took over as head coach in 2001, and in '05 she led ISU to their first team appearance at NCAA's, then in 2006 her ISU team made the Super Six.
