The Gym Dogs captured their third consecutive NCAA National Championship this year, becoming the second program in NCAA history to capture at least three straight titles, joining Utah (1982-1986).

Before the Gym Dogs come “Back 4 More,” here’s a look of the highlights of 2007.

 Georgia now holds eight NCAA National Championships – second on the all-time list behind Utah with nine.

 Then-sophomore Courtney Kupets captured the NCAA All-Around Title for the second consecutive season.

 Kupets’ NCAA All-Around score of 39.750 matched her 2006 championship score, and is tied for the second-highest total in NCAA history.

 Kupets captured her fifth individual NCAA title in just two years of competing at a collegiate level, adding the 2007 vault title to her 2006 beam and bars championships, and her individual all-around championships of the last two years.

 The Gym Dogs compiled a team record of 32-2-1, tying No. 1 Florida during the regular season and exacting revenge by defeating the Gators in Utah for the National Championship.

 Ashley and Courtney Kupets broke a two-year Gym Dogs 10.0 drought, with Ashley recording a perfect score on the vault and Courtney matching that total on the uneven bars.

 Courtney Kupets won the Honda Award, awarded yearly to the top gymnast in the nation.

 Nine Gym Dogs on the 2007 roster had All-American honors on their resume – Courtney Kupets (10), Katie Heenan (nine), Tiffany Tolnay (eight), Kelsey Ericksen (eight), Ashley Kupets (five), Nikki Childs (four), Grace Taylor (two), Megan Dowlen (one) and Marcia Newby (one).

 Legendary Gym Dogs coach Suzanne Yoculan announced Oct. 17 that she will step down after the 2009 season.

“(Yoculan) has built the Georgia program into the most successful in the country,” Athletic Director Damon Evans said. “She’s been relentless in her quest to be the best every year and has brought to Georgia an enviable record of national and SEC titles, national champion gymnasts, and graduation rates.”

Yoculan, who has brought eight national titles to Athens in her 24-year tenure, said long-time assistant Jay Clark will take over her role.

 Monday, Courtney Kupets turned down a bid for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing to stay in Athens.
