All-around entrant shadows Gym Dogs

Anybody who thinks college gymnastics is an individual sport would have been well served to watch 15 minutes of the NCAA National Championship.

For gymnasts such as Southern Utah’s Elise Wheeler, Thursday’s team preliminary was a lonely place.

Wheeler was one of 13 individual gymnasts from 12 schools who qualified for the National Championship to compete in the all-around without the rest of her team.

Sport vaults to new heights across country

Athens becomes the center of the gymnastics world this weekend, as a sold-out Stegeman Coliseum hosts gymnasts from 23 colleges across the country in a championship that hardly will resemble its inauspicious beginnings in 1982.

Gym Dogs hope to see blackout

The Gym Dogs enter the NCAA Championship with the No. 1 ranking, three straight titles under their belt, and a home-floor advantage.

As if they need any help, the team has asked fans to black out Stegeman Coliseum all three days of the championship.

Gym Dogs secluded for championships

There are a number of ways to deal with the pressure that comes with hosting the NCAA Championships, but head coach Suzanne Yoculan is trying something new this year.

Students launch ‘Knowshon for Heisman’ merchandise site

Senior Jay Pritchett is hardly the first person to make a comparison between Herschel Walker and Knowshon Moreno.

Univ. graduate ties for 25th in Athens Classic

It was one round short of a fairy tale week for Brendon Todd.

Todd, a 2007 graduate and one of only two four-year All-Americans in Georgia men’s golf history, entered the final round of last week’s Athens Regional Foundation Classic tied for first.

A final round 80 dropped him to a tie for 25th at 2-under-par, nine strokes back of champion Robert Damron.
