“We knew the stars had to align for Georgia to win. This championship isn’t just for this group of girls here tonight. This one is for every girl that has been on our teams since the championship team in 1999. We spent a lot of time working together to get back to where we were before the Regionals. I knew the Regional was just a fluke. Lightning doesn’t strike Georgia twice in a row. We emphasized the total team aspect. Everyone on this team had a role in what happened. We had to tighten the screws up. The girls responded well. They did everything we asked of them. - Coach Suzanne Yoculan “We had all of our mistakes on beam at Regionals, and it was a little nervewracking knowing that was what we had to start off with (in the Super Six). We knew we had to hit our beams to get the momentum rolling for the rest of the night. We hit our routines consistently and made everything count.” - Kelsey Ericksen 2010 GEORGIA GYMNASTICS
