Gator Country

Corey Hartung scored a collegiate-best 9.975 on the vault / photo by Tim Casey

A Gator Country exclusive! Here's a gallery of 180 photos from the Gators' 196.850-196.825 loss, the slimmest of possible margins, to the Georgia Bulldogs on Friday, Jan.18 at the Stephen C. O'Connell Center.

Florida junior gymnast Corey Hartung gave an outstanding performance, winning two of the four events and capturing the overall individual title.

A pair of falls on the uneven bars cost the Gators a chance to knock of the defending national champion Bulldogs, but coach Rhonda Faehn’s team can look to a rematch in the NCAA championships, which will be held in Athens, Ga. this year.
