April 19, 2024 | Gymnastics
ATHENS, Ga. — Courtney Kupets Carter will not return as head coach of the Georgia gymnastics program, J. Reid Parker Director of Athletics Josh Brooks announced Friday.
"We want to thank Courtney for her leadership of our gymnastics program over the past seven seasons," Brooks said. "These are always difficult decisions, but this one was especially tough because of what Courtney and her family mean to the University of Georgia. She is among the greatest Bulldog student-athletes of all time, and her many accomplishments and accolades will be remembered for years to come. At this time, we feel it is in the best interest of our gymnastics program to make a change in leadership as we pursue SEC and national championships."
Kupets Carter was the eighth head coach in Georgia gymnastics history. Under her leadership, seven GymDogs earned 22 All-America honors and 14 were named to the All-Southeastern Conference team.
As a student-athlete at Georgia from 2006-09, Kupets Carter put together the most illustrious career in collegiate gymnastics history. She was the first gymnast to win individual championships on all four events and the all-around title, while winning nine NCAA individual titles and earning an impressive 15 All-America distinctions. Georgia captured four team national titles during her time as an athlete.
A national search for Georgia's next head coach will begin immediately.
