Zamora shot a final round score of 2-over 74 and finished in sixth place individually overall, as the Lady Bulldogs tallied a final-round score of 302 Sunday.

Though Georgia improved its scores with each round of play, the team never managed to rise in the rankings, as No. 4 Duke took home the tournament trophy, finishing with a score of 889.

Five Gym Dogs named to All-SEC squads

Despite an up-and-down regular season where Georgia went 6-5, five Gym Dogs were named to All-SEC teams.

Senior Courtney McCool, junior Hilary Mauro and sophomore Kat Ding were named to the First Team All-SEC, and seniors Grace Taylor and Marcia Newby grabbed Second Team All-SEC honors.

At the SEC meet that saw Georgia take a third place finish, the Gym Dogs were still able to bring home the bars title (Ding), the floor title (McCool) and a second-place finish in the race for the balance beam title (Taylor).

Georgia tied with Florida with the most gymnastics named to All-SEC Teams with five each.

Dylla’s disqualification came after the junior entered the championships as the No. 1 seed and with the nation’s fastest time in the event.

The 2009 champion in the 1,650-yard freestyle — Troy Prinsloo — finished in seventh place as teammate Martin Grodzki came in second place and Andrew Gemmell rounded out the event for the Bulldogs in 12th.
