Gym Dogs post nation-best 198.200, blow Gators out of water

By on March 2, 2009

Wow.

Georgia gymnastics posted its best score at home since 1998 Saturday, proving their mettle as the nation’s No. 1 team with a very impressive 198.200-196.650 victory over rival Florida.

The Gym Dogs were firing on all cylinders all day, charting 16 scores of 9.9 or better, capped off by a perfect 10 on floor exercise from senior Courtney Kupets. They posted season-highs on every event, with a 9.850 the lowest score they counted all afternoon.

Not bad for a team that coach Suzanne Yoculan doubted as the nation’s No. 1 earlier in the week.

“I’m not going to sleep for two days,” she said.
