During her post-game interview with the SEC Network, the 12-time WCGA All-American shared her thoughts on winning the NCAA title, highlighting the team's dedication and resilience from last year's loss. She said:

"Oh my gosh, just truly a fairy tale ending. You do not want to go out any other way and to do it with these girls and how close we are, how hard we've worked. Everything we've carried from last year too. It just means so much more and I'm so freaking proud of this team. I'm so proud to be a Sooner."

She added:

"Obviously, last year was a tough loss, but you have to grow from it and we have learned so much this season, we've grown so much and you just have to take everything with a grain of salt and just move on and put your best foot forward not make the moment bigger than yourself and do what you know how to do every single day and that's exactly what we did."

Jordan Bowers is the 2025 NCAA all-around individual champion and has earned Big 12 individual champion titles seven times.
