The NCAA Champion Georgia men’s tennis and gymnastics teams visited President George W. Bush during a welcoming of champions at the White House on Tuesday.

“It seems like the South Lawn is a fitting place to hold Champions Day,” Bush said. “After all, we have a swimming pool, a tennis court, a running track, a putting green, and a basketball court – just in case any of our athletes here want to squeeze in a little friendly competition.”

Twenty teams from 15 campuses were honored during the ceremony, with UCLA boasting three title teams (in women’s tennis, men’s golf and water polo) and Penn State with two (men’s and women’s volleyball) joining the Bulldogs as colleges with multiple teams represented.

“We thank you for your contributions to the communities in which you live,” Bush told the teams. “These athletes have volunteered at food banks during holidays; they have visited schools to inspire children with disabilities; they’ve encouraged literacy and good health; they’ve raised money to fight cancer. What I’m telling you are – is they’re great athletes and good citizens. And for that, our country is grateful.”
