LINCOLN, Neb. — Georgia's Courtney Kupets ended her distinguished college career with a record-setting performance on the final night of the NCAA Women's Gymnastics Championships.

Kupets added individual titles in the uneven bars, floor exercise and balance beam on Saturday to the all-around championship she won two days earlier. Her four titles tied the record for a single national meet.

She ended her career with a record nine individual titles, beating the mark of eight by Kentucky's Jenny Hansen in 1993-95.

Kupets won the balance beam (9.9875) and uneven bars (9.95) and tied for first with LSU's Ashleigh Clare-Kearney in the floor exercise (9.95).
