Success on the field and in the classroom goes hand-in-hand with being a Sooner. It's the expectation, a tradition, and it's why
. We continue our Year in Review series with a comprehensive look at the team and individual success of all Oklahoma sports programs in 2011-12.
OU's 21 teams posted a combined overall
record of 254-121 (.677), including 86-61 (.585) against league competition. Twelve teams finished the year ranked in the top 25, with seven of those in the top 10.
Individually, OU student-athletes earned 36 All-America honors and 52 all-conference distinctions. Off the field, OU collected 27 Academic All-America honors and 105 Academic All-Conference awards. Thirteen OU student-athletes posted perfect 4.0 GPAs on the year.
Congratulations to all OU teams, student-athletes and coaches on another remarkable year across the board!
