Leah Brown was a two-time national champion during his gymnastics career at the University of Georgia and has never forgotten her time in Athens.

“When you’re a Gymdog, you’re a Gymdog for life,” said Brown, a 14-time All-American from 1994-97.

Courtney Zuniga grew up as a fan of Brown’s and was a member of UGA’s 2005 national championship team.

“That sisterhood goes on beyond our competition years,” Zuniga said of Georgia’s gymnastics program. “We have a bond that I don’t have with anyone else in my life.”

When Brown and her husband faced an important decision in their lives, they turned to Zuniga - and the bond between the GymDog sisters was taken to another level.

In a video from the SEC Network, Brown and Zuniga discuss love, family and an unbreakable bond.
