Gym Dogs Receive Second Seed in Athens Regional

PrintJay Clark's Gym Dogs received a gift from the NCAA on Monday, when it was announced that Georgia will host the NCAA Athens Regional on April 2 as a second-seeded squad. The Bulldogs' draw includes top-seeded (and sixth-ranked) UCLA, LSU, N.C. State, Maryland, and West Virginia. The Red and Black have faced three of those teams already this season, posting a 4-0 mark against them.
The top two teams from each regional meet will advance to the NCAA Gymnastics Championships in Cleveland. Given Georgia's home floor advantage in a competition that features only one higher-ranked team and no teams that have beaten the Bulldogs in 2011, anything less than a second-place finish on April 2 would have to be regarded as a disaster, but it wouldn't be the first such disaster under Coach Clark. Lady Luck just looked down upon Stegeman Coliseum and smiled from ear to ear; let's see if she's still grinning when the dust settles in a couple of weeks.

I'm glad that the Athens regional is on April 2.
If it were held one day earlier, I would really hate to have to be the one to make the joke about it (but I would).
“Hey guys, did you know we just won our regional and posted the top score so far this season in the entire nation? April Fools!! We sucked and got bounced out of the gymnastics championships by a traditional men’s basketball power.”
In all sincerity, though, good luck to the Gym Dogs on the 2nd. I’ll be cheering for them to pull out the win.
