UGA athletics: weekend of 3-28

Somewhat busy weeekend of athletics for Georgia.

First, congratulations to the Gym Dawgs for winning the SEC Championship at the Gwinnett Center, in front of a record crowd. The beautiful ladies in red and black have maintained their number one standing after losing star Courtney Kupets earlier this season to injury.

Other impressive items worth mentioning: Cassidy McCombs becomes the SEC Freshman of the Year, Suzanne Yoculan becomes the SEC Coach of the Year, and Katie Heenan becomes the all time leading scorer in Gym Dawg history.

Congratulations to these fine individuals for their accomplishments, as well as a congratulations to the team. This is Georgia's 16th SEC Championship. Very impressive.

Come home to Athens, girls. A potential 4-peat awaits.

Other items worth mentioning:

-UGA wins the Southern Equestrian Championship

-UGA softball picks up two wins over Arkansas

-Sophomore Chris Hill moved up to number 4 on Georgia's all-time top-10 list in the javelin as he won the event at the Yellow Jacket Invitational in Atlanta on Saturday

-As of press time, UGA baseball had split 2 games over Mississippi State. Friday's contest was lost by the (good) Dawgs in 10 innings. UGA then won 5-1 on Saturday. Georgia is playing one of (if not) the toughest schedule in America. The team seems to be doing really well, especially offensively. The one weakness is the bullpen, which has had moments of flirtation with not holding leads late in games. This problem is much improved over the same issue that plagued the team last season.

-Sebastien Rouault and Chris Colwill recorded 2nd place finishes as UGA set 2 school records on Friday at the NCAA Swimming and Diving Championship. Great job on the silver guys!

It's great to be a Georgia Bulldog!

Update: The baseball team won on Sunday to take the series against Mississippi State, the softball team swept Arkansas, and both the Mens and Womens tennis teams won their events.
