The UGA gymnastics team (top photo) won its fifth straight and 10th overall national championship April 17 in Lincoln, Neb. Senior Courtney Kupets contributed perfect 10s on bars and vault to the victory. Kupets, a 15-time All–American and finalist for the Honda Award, went on to win the individual titles in the all-around, beam, bars and tie for the national title on floor—setting the record for most individual titles at the NCAA championships. The team competition was head coach Suzanne Yoculan’s last meet (See Campus Closeup, page 6).
