ATHENS, Ga. - After posting a season-best and nation-high 197.550 in their win over LSU, the Gym Dogs are back to the No. 1 ranking in the country.

"We like being ranked No. 1," Georgia head coach Suzanne Yoculan said. "It's where we belong, and we like the pressure. We're definitely used to it."

Following Georgia in this week's rankings are Utah at No. 2, Florida at No. 3, Alabama at No. 4 and Michigan at No. 5. The Gym Dogs have faced the first two and will go up against the other two as well in 2008.

In addition to an overall team ranking of No. 1, Georgia also comes in at the top five on all four individual events. The Gym Dogs are first on bars and floor, tied for second on vault and third on beam.

Georgia also has several gymnasts ranked in the top 10 in individual categories. Courtney Kupets is fourth in the all-around and on vault and is ranked No. 1 on the uneven bars. Katie Heenan (6) and Grace Taylor (10) are also top-10 on bars. Heenan also is seventh on beam. Courtney McCool, after scoring 9.900s or better in all four meets including a 9.975 against LSU, now is the nation's top-ranked floor worker as well.

Gymnastics rankings still are based on pure averages until Feb. 11, when Regional Qualifying Scores (RQS) will be used to determine a team's ranking.
