HISTORY AGAINST ALABAMA

GEORGIA SELECTED AS 2021 NCAA REGIONAL HOSTÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
The University of Georgia gymnastics team has been selected to host the 2021 NCAA gymnastics regional April 1-3 in Stegeman Coliseum.Â
Â
Georgia is one of four hosts for the 2021 regional championships, along with Utah, Missouri, and West Virginia.Â
Â
The 2021 regional marks the 12th time Georgia has hosted the event since 1985. Georgia last hosted in 2019 when the GymDogs posted their highest score in a decade with a 198.050 to advance to the NCAA National Championship. Marissa Oakley earned a Perfect 10 on bars, marking the first GymDog since 1998 to earn a perfect score on that apparatus in regional competition. Together the GymDogs earned a score of 49.550 on beam, which tied for the fifth highest single-meet beam score in Georgia gymnastics history.
Â
The 2020 NCAA Regional and National Championships were canceled due to COVID-19.

Coach Courtney Kupets Carter has encouraged the seniors to be servant leaders for their younger teammates. With the season, and training in general, looking different than year's past it is important for them to look out for the underclassmen. Kupets Carter has praised the servant leadership of Emily Schild for stepping up.Â
