Sophomore Sydney Snead had a strong performance at the Georgia gymnastics team’s annual Sneak Peek, posting a 39.6 individual all-around score in front of several hundred fans on Friday night at the Suzanne Yoculan Gymnastics Center.
 
 
In her first taste of all-around competition as a collegiate gymnast, Snead posted a 9.775 on bars, 9.95 on vault, a 9.85 on floor and a 9.9 on beam.
 
 
Despite competing at home, the ninth-ranked Gymdogs went in road meet order – bars, vault, floor, beam – in anticipation of their season-opener at No. 2 LSU on January 6.
 
 

“Our freshmen and our sophomores really moved and competed well and strived for a spot in our competition lineups,” said University of Georgia gymnastics head coach Danna Durante. “Our upperclassmen, particularly in events they had not competed before, I saw them really step up and do a good job. It was a zoo in here – people everywhere, kids everywhere. The team’s ability to focus – and they knew it would be a challenge – was very encouraging. I’m pleased with what we saw tonight. I know we have some work to do before we get on the road against LSU, but I think we’re in a good spot.”

 
 
The Gymdogs will begin their season in just a few short weeks on the road in Baton Rouge, LA on January 6, 2017, taking on LSU.
