Welcome back, Gym Dog fans! I can barely believe I’m typing this, but the regular season is almost half over! The Georgia Gym Dogs have 11 regular-season meets, and they’ve now completed 5 of them. This timing works out pretty well for me, though, since I was able to make the time this week to attend the Gym Dogs’ weekly media availability session. (As I mentioned in my season preview series, the UGA Sports Communication Department has been very gracious in allowing me to participate in the gymnastics team’s weekly media activities this year.)
We’ve seen a lot of stories and surprises pop up this year, from the first week head-scratcher against LSU and the gradual build-up and improvement afterwards, to the emergence of several surprise contributors and anchors on our team.
