We’re spending this Sunday at Stegeman Coliseum as Georgia hosts Auburn for an SEC showdown—with a party atmosphere to match, as the GymDogs celebrate Hairy Dawg’s 45th birthday. The last time these teams met, Auburn edged out a narrow home win, and while winter weather may be frigid, the action in Athens should be anything but.
Auburn enters off a loss to No. 3 Florida but kept that meet tight through the final rotation. The Tigers also welcomed back Katelyn Jong after an Achilles injury sidelined her last season, adding to a lineup that produced several 9.85-plus scores. Paige Zancan, Marissa Neal, Julianne Huff, and Olivia Greaves all delivered standout routines, and Auburn will be hungry to extend its recent success against Georgia with a road win.
Georgia, meanwhile, is looking to rebound after falling to No. 1 Oklahoma in Norman. Despite the loss, the GymDogs posted season highs on three events and stacked up multiple 9.90s, led by Ja’Free Scott, Kelise Woolford, Lily Smith, and Nyla Aquino. With Holly Snyder expected back after a late scratch last week, Georgia should be closer to full strength—and in the electric Stegeman environment, that could be the difference in keeping this meet down to the wire.
The meet will be streamed on the SEC Network at 6 p.m. ET. Scores can be found on Virtius.
