it’s too bad that UGA blew it on beam, but good on Kupets for winning the AA and all 4 events

she’s so awesome!

ESPN hasn’t broadcasted that part over here. But I think UGA has enjoyed impressive wins over the years. Congratulations to all of them!

Im still trying to figure out, how Whitney Rose beat Priess for FOTY? i never heard of whitney till today, but anyways congrats to her.

I agree on the FOTY. I fully expected Courtney Priess from Alabama to get that award….not sure who Whitney Rose is or what she has accomplished. I think they got that one wrong!
