ATHENS, Ga. — Sophomore Courtney Kupets of the 2007 NCAA Champion Gym Dogs was recognized for her academics as a first-team member of the 2007 ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America women’s at-large team as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America.
The 2007 NCAA All-Around and Vault Champion posted a 4.0 in the spring, which improved her cumulative grade point average to a 3.86. She joined Oklahoma’s Brittany Koncak-Schumann and Northern Illinois’ Jody Yednock as the only gymnasts to make the first team. She was also one of only two sophomores to earn the distinction.
Kupets, who is pursuing a major in furnishings and interiors, has won back-to-back NCAA All-Around titles, becoming the first gymnast to do so since Georgia’s Kim Arnold also captured back-to-back crowns in 1997-98.
