The 2023 season may be officially over, but we’re not quite ready to let it go yet. To kick off the offseason slate of roundtables, we wanted to look back at the season and discuss our predictions we made in January, as well as some of our favorites.
We’ll start with predictions. How accurate were you with your guesses for the 2023 national champions?
Peri: Exactly 0.149 off from being accurate, which in the grand scheme I feel pretty good about. Hoping to see a not-so-subtle #pzofn hashtag appearance in 2023-24.
Savanna: What Peri said. As the Big 12 editor, I am thrilled that Oklahoma entered dynasty ranks, but part of me really wanted to see Trinity Thomas go out with a team title.
Alyssa: Spot on. I had Oklahoma as my champion heading into the season, and the Sooners lived up to that.
Emily M: I got the NCAA champs right; it’s hard to bet against the Sooners. I predicted Lindenwood and Brockport for USAG and NCGA titles, close on the former and way off on the latter!
Tara: My prediction motto is “never doubt Oklahoma,” and that proved right yet again. Despite a subpar national semifinal performance, KJ Kindler’s Sooners pulled out the victory.
How about for categories like top freshman or the gymnast to make the most of her fifth-year?
Savanna: Faith…
