THE RACE TO A PERFECT 10Â 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
Going into Georgia's sixth meet of the season, no GymDog has captured the elusive perfect 10 in 2025. So. Lily Smith and Fr. Brooke Gleichowski came near on the beam, in Auburn and Florida respectively, scoring 9.950 individually.Â
Many other Bulldogs are hungry for a 10 as well, including Gr. Anaya Smith on the vault, securing two consecutive 9.900s. Jr. Ja' Free Scott performed similarly in the past two meets, capturing consecutive 9.900s on the beam.
THE BEAM QUEEN IS BACKÂ 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 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
Junior Kara Eaker returned to the beam in Athens to represent the Bulldogs for the first time, helping Georgia to their then-season-high of 196.975 overall against Alabama.
Eaker, of Kansas City, Mo., won the beam crown with a 9.925 routine, the highest score on any event of the meet. The Crimson Tide meet was Eaker's first time competing since 2023 after stepping away from the sport to be an advocate for mental health in athletics.Â
The beam specialist's routine helped secure a new season high of 49.425 for the team in the event. The GymDogs also captured their first team win against Alabama since the 2021 season with the contribution of Eaker's beam performance.Â

Freshman Brooke Gleichowski returned to her hometown of Gainesville, Fla. to represent the Bulldogs and came back to Athens with a crown. Gleichowski's 9.950 routine became the highest score from any individual on any event for Georgia's team this season.Â
The beam specialist set a career high in Florida. Her routine as the Bulldogs' anchor secured a new season record for the team in the event, a 49.350, to lift Georgia up 14 spots to No.19 in the national beam ranking.
Â
SCOTT CONTINUES THE MOONWALKÂ 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
Sophomore JaFree Scott's beam routine features assumed the Georgia moonwalk tradition. She is the eighth GymDog to perform the moonwalk on the balance beam, following Nikki Childs, Cassidy McComb, Lindsey Cheek, Mary Beth Box, Morgan Reynolds, Sabrina Vega, and Soraya Hawthorne.
