Georgia named former Gym Dog Courtney Kupets Carter head gymnastics coach at a press conference on Tuesday.
Kupets, 30, won four-straight National Championship titles with the Gym Dogs from 2006-2009.
Among many accolades, the newest Georgia coach won two medals at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece.
A massive thank you to everyone for all the support of @UGAGymnastics. I am incredibly excited to get started! #GODAWGS
