. Georgia travels to Fayetteville, Ark., on Friday for a meeting with the first-year program at Arkansas. The Razorbacks are coming off a second-place finish in an Auburn quad-meet in which they scored a program record 194.975.
Arkansas (5-5, 1-3) was ranked in the top-25 through the Jan. 13 poll at No. 22, but have since dropped out. The Razorbacks are currently ranked 17th in the nation on average beam score and 25th in bars.
Georgia is ranked fourth nationally in total team average, 1st on floor, 6th on beam, 8th on bars and 2nd on vault.
. Georgia started slow with its lowest bars total of the season (48.525) at Kentucky last Friday night, but the Gym Dogs battled back for a win on the road.
Georgia competed just five athletes on bars and vault in Lexington and after two rotations led with the lowest two-rotation score of the year (97.825).
Sierra Sapunar paced the Gym Dogs in rotations three and four, tying career highs on the floor (9.950) and beam (9.925).
The road win was Georgia's first in just two tries this season, as the Gym Dogs' only loss of the year came at Nebraska in the season-opener.
