Ranked No. 10 in the April 2 GymInfo poll, the Oklahoma women’s gymnastics team travels to Tuscaloosa, Ala. on April 14 for the NCAA Central Regional hosted by the University of Alabama. OU, the No.
2 seed, will have to finish in the top two at the meet to advance to the NCAA Championships for a fourth
straight year. The Sooners won the 2006 Central Regional in Baton Rouge, La. as the No. 1 seed.
Awaiting the Sooners in the Central region is host and No. 1 seed Alabama, No. 3 seed Iowa State, No.
4 seed Michigan State, No. 5 seed Ohio State and No. 6 seed Kentucky.
“The best of the best will be there,” said OU head coach K.J. Kindler. “All of the teams are ranked in the
top 26 in the country. It’s one of the deeper regions as far as rankings go. We’re not taking anything for
granted. We know we’re going to have to earn our spot.”
Oklahoma will have the benefit of experience with the large Alabama crowds, having competed against
the Tide at Coleman Coliseum in their season opener on Jan. 12. OU nearly ended ‘Bama’s 29-year
home dual undefeated streak, falling 195.700-194.500. Alabama enters this weekend ranked No. 3
nationally.
“It’s important to get used to that 12,000-person crowd and used to that atmosphere,” Kindler said. “Alabama has always been friendly to us. We’re expecting a very friendly crowd and an encouraging
atmosphere, but we know that it’s going to be a dogfight. We’ve worked very hard the past few weeks
and tried to get ourselves used to some pressure situations.”
Eight Sooners return from last year’s Regional champion squad, including senior Brittney KoncakSchumann who tied for first in the all-around at the 2006 event. Sophomore Haley DeProspero is also
a returning Regional event champion on beam, while Lori Winn won the bars title as a junior.
“That experience is huge,” Kindler said. “Having won the regional last year, beating LSU on the road
was enormous for them. They have the experience they need to put up a great performance. I think
their experience coupled with their desire and motivation to do well at this meet, will help us qualify to
the next round. That’s our goal.”
Live scoring from Saturday’s meet will be available on the Live Stats page on SoonerSports.com,
as well as at RollTide.com. Fans can also listen to live streaming audio from the event by visiting

Oklahoma Women’s Gymnastics News and Notes
OU WGYM notes
FAMILIAR SURROUNDINGS
Oklahoma will find itself in familiar territory at the NCAA Central Regional hosted by
the University of Alabama. The Sooners opened the 2007 season against the Tide at
Coleman Coliseum on Jan. 12. OU narrowly missed the upset of then-No. 4 Alabama. The announced attendance of 11,996 fans marked the 12th-largest gymnastics crowd
in Tide history. The Sooners last attended an NCAA Regional in Tuscaloosa in 2003. That OU squad
finished fourth, narrowly missing out on a berth in the NCAA Championsips.
DEFENDING CENTRAL REGION CHAMPIONS
COACHES FACE FORMER TEAMS
All three OU coaches will have to defeat a former team at the 2007 NCAA Central
Regional to advance to the NCAA Championships. Head coach K.J. Kindler and assistant coach Lou Ball came to Oklahoma in 2006 after
spending the entirety of their careers at Iowa State. Ball served as an assistant coach
for the Cylcones for 12 seasons, while Kindler spent 14 years in Ames as an assistant
(1992-2001) and head coach (2001-06). ISU is the No. 3 seed in the region.
Assistant coach Tom Haley will face off against his former Kentucky Wildcats team. Haley spent three years (2004-06) as an assistant for the Wildcats. He was also the
director of the club program at Alabama — ‘Bama Bounders — from 1996-2002 and
was a volunteer assistant coach for the Tide in 2000 and 2001. Alabama is the top
seed in the region, while UK is seeded sixth.
ANOTHER BIG 12 TITLE FOR KONCAK-SCHUMANN
2006 all-american brittney koncak-schumann
NEARLY PERFECT
Brittney Koncak-Schumann came just 0.025 points away from recording the Sooners’
second perfect vault of the season against Stanford on March 9. One judge gave the
senior a perfect score, while the second awarded a 9.95. Koncak-Schumann’s 9.975
marked a career high on the apparatus and earned her second vault title of the year.
THE DYNAMIC DUO
The Sooners proved they have quite a one-two punch against Texas Woman’s University on March 3. Senior Brittney Koncak-Schumann and junior Kiara Redmond each
scored a 39.575 to share the all-around title against the Pioneers. The score was also
a career best for Redmond and just 0.025 off of Koncak-Schumann’s career mark of
39.600.
The win was Koncak-Schumann’s 15th event title of the season and fourth in the allaround, while Redmond notched her third all-around crown to give her 10 event wins
on the year.
ACTION JACKSON
Senior Brittney Koncak-Schumann claimed her second career conference title at the
2007 Big 12 Championships, March 31 in Columbia, Mo.
The all-around champion at the 2006 conference meet with a 39.400, KoncakSchumann shared the 2007 floor exercise crown (9.9) with co-Big 12 Gymnast of the
Year Emily Parsons of Nebraska.
Sophomore Ashley Jackson continues to impress. The Hudsonville, Mich., native won
her fourth vault title of the season with a career-high 9.9 against TWU in Norman. She
also matched her career high on floor exercise with a 9.875 to tie for second place with
Koncak-Schumann. Jackson has notched at least one event win in the Sooners’ last
four competitions.
OU LANDS FIVE ON ACADEMIC ALL-BIG 12 TEAM
With their 11-1 start to the 2007 season, this year’s OU squad matched the record
set by the 2000 team. The Sooners won 11 in-a-row after a near-upset of then-No. 4
Alabama in their season opener in Tuscaloosa on Jan. 12.
Five University of Oklahoma student-athletes were named to the 2007 Academic All-Big
12 Gymnastics Team. Seniors Brittney Koncak-Schumann and Lori Winn each earned
first team honors, as did junior Caitlin Hinkis and sophomore Haley DeProspero.
Sophomore Ashley Jackson was named to the second team. Oklahoma’s four first
team honorees were the second most in the conference behind Missouri’s six.
WOMEN SCORE SEASON HIGH IN FINAL TUNE UP
Oklahoma posted a season-high 197.175 in its final regular season dual, defeating
Pittsburgh (194.075) on Senior Night at the Howard McCasland Field House. The Sooners also recorded team season highs on vault (49.350) and floor exercise
(49.375) and tied their season best with a 49.325 on the balance beam.
SOONERS HOST SPECIAL SPECTATORS
In addition to the Senior Night festivities on March 24, OU’s meet with Pittsburgh was
special for a different reason. The team welcomed three superfans from the Everest
Childrens Cancer Center. The children were carried out by members of the team and
introduced during pre-meet introductions. They also hung around with the Sooners during stretching and warmups and even donned some OU face tattoos like the
gymnasts. The squad has made numerous visits to the Everest Cancer Center throughout the
years. The gymnasts hang out with the kids, sign autographs and even help with arts
and crafts.
REDMOND MAKES IT THREE IN A ROW
With her all-around victory at Stanford on March 9, junior Kiara Redmond won at least
a share of the all-around title in three straight meets. The Los Angeles, Calif., native
has five all-around crowns this season after winning just one in 2006.
RECORD START
END OF THE ROAD
OU’s March 9 matchup with No. 3 Stanford marked the end of a grueling 2007 road
schedule. Seven of the Sooners’ first nine events of the season were away from the
Howard McCasland Field House. Oklahoma finished 5-2 on the road, including an
upset of No. 8 Nebraska in Lincoln and wins at No. 13 Iowa State, No. 21 Arizona State
and No. 27 Iowa.
SOONERS SWEEP BIG 12 FOES
For the first time since the conference’s inception in 1996, OU defeated all three Big 12
rivals in the regular season. The Sooners defeated Missouri in Norman on Jan. 19 and
beat Nebraska (Feb. 2) and Iowa State (Feb. 16) on the road. The last time an Oklahoma team swept its conference foes in the regular season was 1991 in the Big Eight. WE’RE NO. 1
After road wins at Iowa State (Feb. 16) and Iowa (Feb. 18), OU rose to No. 7 in the
GymInfo rankings released on Feb. 19. It marked the Sooners’ highest national ranking
since coming in at No. 6 on March 27, 2006. Oklahoma was also the top-rated team in
the Big 12, a distinction they had not held since Feb. 20, 2006.
KEEP TAKING IT HIGHER
In addition to the personal bests set by Oklahoma gymnasts at the Arizona State trimeet, OU also recorded three team scores that constituted season bests.
The Sooners’ 196.400 was the team’s highest score to date and the second-highest
total recorded by a Big 12 team this year (Nebraska, 196.800).
OU also set season benchmarks on the uneven bars (49.100) and floor exercise
(49.075).
NCAA central regional
This year’s OU team has the benefit of experiencing victory at a Regional event. Eight
members of this year’s team were a part of the 2006 squad that won the Central
Region in Baton Rouge, La.
No. 1-seeded OU recorded a team score of 196.375 at the Pete Maravich Assembly
Center to best second-seed LSU (195.825).
Brittney Koncak-Schumann, then a junior, tied for first in the all-around with a 39.400.
Classmate Lori Winn won the bars title with a 9.875, while Haley DeProspero took the
beam crown (9.875) in her freshman season.
CLUTCH PERFORMER
Freshman Hollie Vise made her collegiate debut against Arizona State and Cal on Feb.
9. The Dallas native competed on the balance beam for the Sooners, scoring a solid
9.8. Vise is a two-time junior national champion on the apparatus and also was the
2003 world champion on bars, helping the U.S. Team to the World Championship title. SHINING BRIGHT IN THE VALLEY OF THE SUN
Three OU gymnasts set career highs in the tri-meet at Arizona State. Junior Kiara
Redmond scored a 9.85 on bars to best her previous high of 9.825. Sophomore Haley
DeProspero improved her career mark on beam from 9.9 to 9.925, while freshman
Mary Mantle set a new mark in her short career with a 9.825 on vault.
Redmond and DeProspero, along with Brittney Koncak-Schumann also set season
highs in Tempe. Koncak-Schumann’s 39.475 all-around score was her best of 2007,
as was her 9.875 on floor. Redmond tied her season best with a 9.875 on floor, while
DeProspero’s 9.8 on the apparatus was her best of the year.
A HISTORIC WIN
The Sooners’ upset of the Cornhuskers was more than just a big conference win. The
last time OU beat Nebraska was at the 2004 Big 12 Championships where the Sooners
claimed their only Big 12 title. Ending that two-year losing streak to the Huskers paled in comparison, however, to
OU’s struggles in Lincoln. With the victory, Oklahoma defeated Nebraska in a dual
meet in Lincoln for the first time since 1991 -- a span of over 15 years.
OU WELL-REPRESENTED IN BIG 12 AWARDS
OU gymnasts have won six of the 24 weekly awards handed out by the conference so
far this season. Brittney Koncak-Schumann’s has earned three Gymnast of the Week
honors, while Lori Winn, Kiara Redmond and Ashley Jackson have each earned Event
Specialist of the Week awards.
Oklahoma’s Brittney Koncak-Schumann was named the Big 12 Gymnast of the Week
for the second week in a row on Jan. 23. The honor was the sixth of her career.
The 2006 Big 12 all-around champion won the all-around (39.325), uneven bars
(9.875) and balance beam (9.95) titles in the Sooners’ home-opening win over Central
Michigan and No. 22 Missouri. Her balance beam score was a career-high. She also
finished fourth on vault (9.85).
Koncak-Schumann won three Big 12 weekly honors in 2006, and she is the first to win
back-to-back honors this season. Nebraska’s Emily Parsons and Iowa State’s Janet
Anson took home consecutive honors last season.
SOONER SENIORS EARN BIG 12 HONORS
Oklahoma’s two senior gymnasts, Brittney Koncak-Schumann and Lori Winn, swept the
Big 12 Conference’s weekly honors for Jan. 16 after leading OU to a near upset of No.
4 Alabama on Jan. 12.
Koncak-Schumann, from McQueeney, Texas, was named the conference Gymnast of
the Week after taking second in the all-around against the Crimson Tide with a score of
39.350, just 0.025 points behind Alabama’s Kassi Price. She also shared the balance
beam title (9.85), was third on uneven bars (9.85), sixth on floor exercise (9.85) and
tied for seventh on vault (9.80). Winn, an Oklahoma City native, earned the first conference honor of her career. The
Event Specialist of the Week is a new award for this season to recognize those who do
not compete in the all-around. Winn competed on three events for the Sooners at Alabama. She shared the balance
beam title (9.85) with Koncak-Schumann while placing fourth on uneven bars (9.825).
She also competed on floor exercise (9.75).
STARTING FRESH(MEN)
Three Oklahoma freshmen saw the first action of their collegiate careers against the
fourth-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide. Jacqueline Flanery, from Plattsburg, Mo., recorded a 9.775 on both the vault and floor
exercise. Mary Mantle, a Bellvue, Colo. native, scored a 9.8 on the vault, the Sooners’
second-highest score on the apparatus against the Tide. Oklahoma City native Kristin
Smith scored a 9.0 on the floor in her debut.
SOONERS DEBUT AT NO. 10
SHE’S SO PERFECT
The University of Oklahoma women’s gymnastics team is ranked No. 10 in the 2007
preseason GymInfo Coaches Poll. The top-10 ranking ties the Sooners’ highest
preseason poll position of the last 10 years. OU was also ranked 10th in the 2006
preseason poll.
“OU is honored to be placed amongst the top 10 teams in the country,” Kindler said. “We have strong leadership in our two seniors and will rely heavily on their guidance of
a fairly young squad.”
TEN NAMED TO BIG 12 HONOR ROLL
Oklahoma finished the 2006 season ranked 10th nationally, tying for the second-best
final poll position in school history.
Junior Kiara Redmond recorded a perfect 10.0 on the vault in OU’s Jan. 27 quad meet
victory over Texas Woman’s, George Washington and Centenary. Redmond’s 10 was
the first recorded by a Big 12 gymnast in 2007. Redmond joins Leah Mueller (2002)
and Amber McCracken in the OU vaulting record books. Ten members of the OU women’s gymnastics team were selected to the Big 12
Commissioner’s Honor Roll for the Fall 2006 semester. Senior Brittney KoncakSchumann and sophomore Gina Lesko were two of the 39 OU athletes to earn perfect
4.0 grade point averages.
The other Sooner honorees were Haley DeProspero, Caitlin Hinkis, Ashley Jackson,
Jessica Kinder, Kiara Redmond and Kristin Smith. Seniors Coral Borda and Tara
Anderson, whose gymnastics eligibility expired at the end of last season, were also on
the list..
MANTLE STEPS UP TO THE PLATE
Freshman Mary Mantle proved to be a valuable contributor for head coach K.J. Kindler
through the first six meets of the season. After competing as a vault specialist in the
Sooners’ first two events, Mantle was thrust into the lineup on bars and floor in the
TWU quad meet on Jan. 27. The Bellvue, Colo. native responded, turning in scores of
9.725 on both events in helping No. 8 OU improve its record to 5-1 on the season.
RECORD BREAKERS
Five OU gymnasts recorded career highs against Missouri and Central Michigan on
Jan. 19. Senior Brittney Koncak-Schumann scored a near perfect 9.95 on beam, while junior Stephanie LoPiccolo was right behind her with a 9.925.
Sophomore Ashley Jackson topped her previous best with a 9.875 on vault, and a pair
of freshmen, Jacqueline Flanery (9.825/FX) and Kristin Smith (9.675/FX) also set new
benchmarks in their short OU careers. 2007 oklahoma women’s gymnastics notes
KINDLER SIGNS THREE FOR 2008
First-year head coach K.J. Kindler announced her first Oklahoma recruiting class
Friday, signing three gymnasts to National Letters of Intent. Taylor Zondervan, Natalie
Ratcliff and Melanie Root will join the Sooners for the 2008 season.
Zondervan, a Level 10 from Schoolcraft High School in Kalamazoo, Mich., trains at
Geddert’s Twistars, the former club of current OU gymnast Ashley Jackson. Zondervan
was a member of the 2006 Junior Olympic National Team and finished fifth in the

VISE MAKES OU DEBUT
KONCAK-SCHUMANN GOES BACK-TO-BACK
OU WGYM notes
For two consecutive weeks (Feb. 2 and Feb. 9), OU’s senior leader Brittney KoncakSchumann came up with solid performances on the final rotation to seal an OU road
win against a ranked opponent. With a slight lead over then-No. 21 Arizona State in Tempe on Feb. 9, KoncakSchumann scored a meet high 9.875 on the uneven bars to cap a 196.400 - 196.275
win over the Sun Devils.
Clinging to a narrow lead on the last rotation against No. 6 Nebraska on Feb. 2, OU
head coach K.J. Kindler needed a near perfect beam performance from KoncakSchumann to seal the win. The 2006 Big 12 all-around champion delivered under
pressure, scoring a 9.9 on the apparatus to seal the upset.

Nebraska, 195.075-195.050, Friday night in the Bob Devaney Sports Center.
The Sooners had not defeated their Big 12 conference rivals since the 2004 Big 12
Championships.
OU trailed by 0.4 after two rotations, but cut the Nebraska lead to 0.1 on the floor exercise. The Sooners grabbed the lead on their last event, balance beam, with a 48.575
total, while the Huskers turned in their lowest event score of the night with a 48.450.

shared the beam title with Nebraska’s Tricia Woo and Emily Parsons.
Oklahoma started on the uneven bars, posting a team total of 48.875 led by KoncakSchumann’s 9.85 and a 9.825 by classmate Lori Winn.
The Cornhuskers extended their lead on the second rotation, posting a 49.050 on the
bars. OU’s Kiara Redmond, who posted a perfect 10.0 on the apparatus against Texas
Woman’s University last week, led the Sooners with a 9.875 to finish second.
OU closed the gap with a meet-high 48.800 on floor and captured the win with the
clutch performances on beam. In addition to Koncak-Schumann’s 9.825, Redmond
recorded a 9.8 and sophomore Ashley Jackson scored a 9.7.
Redmond took the all-around title with a 39.350, her first of the year, but her perfect
vault was easily the highlight of the evening. Redmond’s score tied the OU vault record
and was the first perfect score recorded in the Big 12 this season.
The Sooners swept every event in the team competition and also had the individual
champion on each apparatus. In addition to her all-around and vault titles, Redmond
also finished first on the floor exercise with a 9.875. Senior Lori Winn took the balance
beam (9.875) and classmate Brittney Koncak-Schumann won the uneven bars, tying
her career high with a 9.9.
Koncak-Schumann finished second in the all-around, despite being limited by a minor
knee injury sustained in OU’s Jan. 19 home-opening win over Missouri and Central
Michigan. The Sooners were also without bars specialist Caitlin Hinkis, who missed
the meet due to a death in the family, and freshman Kristin Smith who was out with a
groin pull.
Freshman Mary Mantle stepped in for Smith on the floor, scoring a career-high 9.8 and
took Hinkis’ spot on bars, posting a 9.725. Winn also competed on the vault for the first
time this season.

After dropping a heartbreaking loss at No. 4 Alabama last weekend, OU rebounded
to post a team total of 196.125 to best Missouri (193.825) and Central Michigan
(191.025).
Brittney Koncak-Schumann led the Sooners with a career-high 9.95 on the beam and a
39.325 all-around score, both meet highs.

the bars (9.875) and balance beam with a career high 9.95.
The Sooners stuck their landings on all six routines on the uneven bars for the second
consecutive meet, earning a team total of 48.70.
alabama • Jan. 12, 2007
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Oklahoma nearly pulled off the upset in head coach K.J.
Kindler’s debut. The Sooners led after three rotations before falling 195.700-194.500 in
front of 11,996 at Coleman Coliseum – the 12th-largest home crowd in Alabama history. The Crimson Tide have never lost a non-conference home dual under 29th-year head
coach Sarah Patterson.
The Sooners started strong, scoring a 49.050 on vault and winning the uneven bars
by a 48.875-48.200 count. Oklahoma held a slim 146.475-146.250 lead after the third
rotation, but falls on the floor exercise and balance beam, the team’s final two events,
proved costly.
Senior Brittney Koncak-Schumann (39.350) finished second in the all-around, just
0.025 points behind Alabama freshman Kassi Price (39.375).
Kiara Redmond, a junior from Los Angeles, Calif., tied for first place on the vault with a
score of 9.85 and seniors Lori Winn and Brittney Koncak-Schumann shared the beam
title, posting a pair of 9.85s.

to tie for fifth on the balance beam.
Oklahoma also got solid contributions from a pair of newcomers. Jacqueline Flanery,
from Plattsburg, Mo., recorded a 9.775s on both the vault and floor exercise. Mary
Mantle, a Bellvue, Colo. native, scored a 9.8 on the vault, the Sooners’ second-highest
score on the apparatus.
Winn shared the beam title with Iowa State’s Janet Anson and also took her first bars
crown of the year, tying her career high with a 9.875.
Kindler also lauded her team’s vault performance as the best of the year so far. Sophomore Ashley Jackson claimed her third event title of the year, tying her career high with
a 9.875. Sophomore Haley DeProspero scored a season-high 9.85 to tie for second
place with teammate Kiara Redmond and ISU’s Megan Barnes. Freshman Mary

the kindler file
“We are dedicated to filling our staff with the best and brightest minds in coaching,” said OU Athletics Director Joe Castiglione. “K.J. Kindler brings a reputation
of great achievement in all aspects of leading a program. She impressed us not
only with her accomplishment to this point, but with her lofty goals for the future
and her plan for reaching those goals. We are anxious to work with K.J. and her
staff as we pursue championships.”
Kindler’s 2006 season culminated with Iowa State’s third trip to the NCAA National Championships and its first appearance among the Super Six (teams that
qualify from the preliminaries to compete for the national title). 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.
The 2006 squad won its first Big 12 Championship since 2000, and three Cyclone
gymnasts earned either an outright or a share of individual titles at the meet.
Since she took over head coaching duties at ISU in 2001, Kindler coached eight
regional event champions, 11 NCAA individual championship qualifiers and 18
Big 12 champions (three all-arounders).
Kindler, an Iowa State graduate, joined the Cyclone staff as an assistant coach
in 1992. As an ISU gymnast, she was a three-time MVP for the Cyclones and
runner-up in the all-around at the 1992 Big Eight Conference Championship. She
was the school’s first individual NCAA Regional qualifier, competing three times in
the postseason meet.
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 many conference
and state titles.
The eldest of five siblings, Kindler hails from a gymnastics family. One sister,
Lori, competed at Minnesota. She and her husband own and operate Flips
Gymnastics in the Twin Cities area. Kindler’s niece, Sydney Kleinhuizen, is a
level 6 gymnast, while another of Kindler’s sisters, Meghan, coaches recreational
gymnastics.
Kindler will serve as the primary coach for the balance beam and will choreograph the beam and floor exercise routines.
Kindler is married to OU assistant coach Lou Ball. The couple recently welcomed
their first child, Maggie Grace, in September.
Kindler spent the last six seasons as the head coach at Iowa State.
