The Gaithersburg, Maryland native totaled eight perfect 10s in her collegiate career and was Georgia’s second-ever two-time Honda Award winner (2007 and 2009). She wrapped her collegiate career by earning the prestigious NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship in 2009 after earning CoSIDA First-Team Academic All-America honors in 2007 and 2009 and Second-Team honors in 2008.
 
 
Kupets also garnered SEC Freshman of the Year (2006) and SEC Gymnast of the Year (2009)​ awards in addition to winning the Honda Broderick Cup and AAI American Award in 2009.
 
 
Team MVP in 2006 and 2009, Kupets also claimed the team’s McMinn Award for Competitive Consistency in those same two seasons and the Coaches Award in 2008.
 
 
Outside of her collegiate career, Kupets was part of the silver-medal-winning Team USA at the 2004 Olympics in Athens, Greece, where she also earned an individual bronze on bars.
