The men's gymnastics program at OU is headed by coach Mark Williams.

Their 12 championships include five in a span of seven years in 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006 and 2008 (they finished second behind [[Penn State]] in 2004 and 2007).<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=Men's Gymnastics Year in Review |url=https://soonersports.com/news/2006/4/28/208404080 |access-date=2023-10-27 |website=University of Oklahoma |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Men's Gymnastics Season in Review |url=https://soonersports.com/news/2007/5/15/208394471 |access-date=2023-10-27 |website=University of Oklahoma |language=en}}</ref> They won the 2006 title with very little experience on the team as 50% of the members were freshmen and just 21% were upperclassmen (seven freshmen, four sophomores, one junior, and two seniors).<ref name=":0" /> Teams from OU also won national championships in 1977, 1978, 1991, and became the third program in history to win four consecutive championships when they won in 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Dynasty: OU Wins Fourth Straight NCAA Title |url=https://soonersports.com/news/2018/4/21/211712477 |access-date=2023-10-27 |website=University of Oklahoma |language=en}}</ref> In 2015, the Sooners broke the NCAA scoring record in a dual meet against Michigan scoring 456.4 points and then broke their own record two weeks later against Illinois scoring 457.3 points.

Gymnastics began at the school in 1902. The program folded in 1917 when the original coach left. The program was revived in 1965 with the new coach, [[Russ Porterfield]] having to beg students to join the squad. Within 6 years, OU had its first winning season. OU's next coach, [[Paul Ziert]], turned the program into one of national prominence. He led OU to two national championships in 1977 and 1978. One of Ziert's athletes, [[Greg Buwick]], would replace him as head coach in 1980 and would lead the team to its third national title in 1991. Buwick's assistant of 12 years, Mark Williams, took over the head coaching position in 2000 and has led the Sooners to six national championships, thirteen conference titles, several individual champions, and even more All-Americans. OU has produced more [[Nissen Award]] winners than any other university and is the only school to have back-to-back Nissen Award winners.<ref>SoonerSports.com [http://www.soonersports.com/sports/m-gym/spec-rel/nissen-emery.html Seven Nissen Emery Award Winners] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070812141111/http://www.soonersports.com/sports/m-gym/spec-rel/nissen-emery.html |date=August 12, 2007}}.
