ATHENS, Ga. — Officially, Georgia sophomore Courtney McCool gets credit for only the floor exercise championship in the NCAA Women's Gymnastics Championships. But she had a lot to do with Georgia claiming the beam title, too.

McCool wowed the home crowd at Stegeman Coliseum with a 9.9625 in the floor exercise, seconds before Grace Taylor's winning beam routine.

"I saw her out there having so much fun," said Taylor, who scored 9.95 on the beam. "It kept it fresh in my mind how much fun gymnastics is. She gets part of the credit, a lot of the credit."

The two individual titles by a pair of sophomores, plus the return next year of Courtney Kupets, the nation's top-ranked gymnast, sidelined with an injury since mid-season, bodes well for Georgia's drive for five straight team titles next year.

"I am excited that both the champions are sophomores and will be back next year," coach Suzanne Yoculan said. "And I know Jay (Clark) is excited they will be back the year after that."

Yoculan has announced that next year will be her final season as Georgia's coach. Assistant Clark has been tabbed as her replacement.

McCool earned two perfect 10s from the judges, but her overall average was less than perfect.

"I want to thank the fans for all they did for us the last two days," McCool said. "The floor has been so much fun for me this year, every day in practice. I felt great out there."

National all-around champion Tasha Schwikert of UCLA won the uneven bars, and LSU freshman Susan Jackson topped the vault competition.

Schwikert scored 9.9375 to become the fifth Bruin to win the uneven bars championship. Schwikert captured the all-around title in Thursday's prelims, but UCLA failed to advance to Friday's team finals, won by Georgia for the fourth straight year.

On any other night, Schwikert might have claimed the floor title too with her 9.95 score, good Saturday for second behind McCool.

"This was the best NCAAs I have been to," said Schwikert, a senior. "I couldn't have asked for a better way to go out after having trouble with my Achilles' during the year."

Nebraska's Emily Parsons and Utah's Ashley Postell scored 9.9s to tie for second on beam.

UCLA's Kristina Comforte made it a one-two finish on the bars with a 9.9, tying Georgia's Katie Heenan.

Jackson, from Spring, Texas, won the vault competition with a score of 9.8568. "Vault is not her best event," coach D-D Breaux said. "She just happens to be extremely athletic."

"I'm most excited that we made the Super Six," Jackson said. "Tonight was a bonus."

Jackson is the first vault champion ever for LSU, which reached the Super Six team finals for the first time Friday.

Auburn's Julie Dwyer tied Baskett for second with a 9.9438 score.
