Sweet Super 6 qualification during NCAA Semifinal 2.

Nebraska

With Utah finishing on Vault, Nebraska on Beam, UCLA on Bars … I was quite sure it would be Utah moving on to the Super 6.

But the Utes atypically had poor landings on Vault. The Huskers owned Beam. … I’m saying Dan Kendig should purchase that Beam after this competition. 🙂

Congratulations. Dan and the Nebraska program are universally liked and respected. Nice guys sometimes do finish first.

Alabama was a fledgling program with a tiny fan base when Sarah Patterson took over as a 22-year-old in 1978.

The bleachers at Foster Auditorium were sprinkled with a few dozen fans. NCAA championships were but a dream for Patterson, then Sarah Campbell.

Some 36 years later, Patterson, along with husband and assistant David, has led Alabama to six NCAA titles, 1,000 victories and a 32nd consecutive berth in the national championships April 18-20 in Birmingham, an hour away from campus. …

Her team, sadly, had to count a fall on Beam. 😦

Can Georgia get its groove back?

Blythe Lawrence:

Under coach Suzanne Yoculan and 2004 Olympic medalist Courtney Kupets, the Gym Dogs built a dynasty during the mid-2000s with five straight national titles.

It didn’t last: Yoculan retired, Kupets graduated, and the team has not been the same since.

After a few embarrassing seasons by Georgia gymnastics standards (one in which the team didn’t make it past regionals), second-year head coach Danna Durante has started a turnaround. It may be too little, too soon to call No. 6 Georgia a title contender again, but if sophomores Brittany Rogers (a 2012 Olympian for Canada) and Brandie Jay can lead their team to a podium finish, it would be the first time in the five years since Yoculan’s retirement.

I’d say the Gym Dogs are back, already.
