Arkansas' gymnastics strategy
[quote]Arkansas' rise on the national scene is impressive considering the short amount of time it has taken the Cooks to build the program. The former Stanford coaches did so by recruiting athletes who weren't on the priority lists of the top teams, but were strong enough to make Arkansas competitive. Among that group are freshman Casey Jo Magee and junior Emily Peacock, two who are excelling under the Cooks' guidance. "We don't have a lot of strong gymnastics programs here in the state, so we had to be willing to go everywhere for recruits," he said. "Besides, not every gymnast fits at a Georgia, UCLA or Utah." [/quote] Arkansas beat UCLA last season taking them out of the NCAA championships, the score: 195.400-195.175. This year will be the program's 5th season.
