The Oklahoma Sooners welcome in two freshmen this season in Nicole Lehrmann and Megan Thompson.
The Sooners finished third last season and just short of defending
their national title. With a strong senior class leaving last season and
the absence of Brenna Dowell, the Sooners will look to
their freshman for depth this season. Although not a freshman, Oklahoma
also welcomes in a senior transfer from Oregon State University, Nicole Turner.
Nicole Lehrmann
Nicole Lehrmann is a talented freshman from Austin, Texas where she
trained at Capital Gymnastics. Lehrmann was coached by Barry Hyder. She
was a former junior international elite and level 10 gymnast. Lehrmann
was also a J.O. National Team member, a national champion and a
qualifier to the Visa Championships. Lehrmann has had success at the
state, regional and national level during her career. She will be a
great addition to the Sooners on all four events where she will look to
make an impact early. Lehrmann shines on floor with personality along
with strong tumbling.
K.J. Kindler on Nicole Lehrmann- “Nicole is an incredible talent on all
four events and one to watch,” head coach K.J. Kindler said. “She has
national title titles in both the all-around and on bars, and we expect
her to contribute on all four right out of the gate. She is also a
superb student and plans to join the Honors College upon arrival at OU.
It was so fun to watch her face light up as the advisors told her about
the great opportunities she will have at Oklahoma.”
Megan Thompson
Megan Thompson is a freshman from Independence, Mo., Thompson trains at
Xtreme Gymnastics under Alisha Robinson. Thompson is a beautiful
gymnast on beam with great dance and difficulty. This is an event that
Thompson can make be a big contributor to the Sooners as a freshman. At
the 2012 Missouri State Championships, Thompson finished 1st on floor,
2nd all-around and 3rd on vault.
K.J. Kindler on Megan Thompson- “Megan was so motivated to be a
Sooner,” Kindler said. “We were her top choice and from the moment she
arrived on campus, you could tell she was all in. Her beam is so
impressive and I can see her gracing our beam lineup with her unique
choreography and difficulty. I think she will be stellar for us on that
event.”
