Boarding the plane back to Fayetteville with the team win! @bailey__lovett and @ken_gymnast secured the beam title, while @sarah_shaff's stellar floor routine earned her the floor title and @ken_gymnast's 39.500 is good for the all-around crown! š pic.twitter.com/3iMttVEEuo

The win was no upset, as Arkansas came in ranked No. 6 in the country, while Georgia entered at No. 10. Still, it was a frustrating loss for the Bulldogs, which drew a bit of disappointment from a few fans on Twitter.
Fell flat at the end. Sure do miss the old days when Suzanne was coach- UGA was a dominant team- Glory days gone……

Iām not gonna criticize any gymnast because thereās no way I could ever try and do what they do but thereās one Gym Dawg who needs to sit down for a meet or two.
