GYMDOGS SHOW RESILIENCY AT FLORIDAÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
During a meet that sustained numerous lineup changes, the Georgia GymDogs showed resiliency and stepped up to perform. Â
Â
Following the meet, head coach Courtney Kupets Carter said:
"I cannot be more proud of this team for their resilience throughout the whole meet. Many lineup changes were needed in the middle of competition and they answered well. We saw improvements in our vault scores and even bigger ones on floor. This is always a big meet for Rachel Baumann and she kept her head in the game and improved on every event from last week. Megan Roberts really stepped up and performed all-around. A meet like this is what is going to take us from being a good team to a great team as we continue to grow and improve on the little things. We will get back to the gym and keep working, but overall I'm really proud of this team."
