The NCAA women's championships start tomorrow at the University of Georgia. The home team is the heavy favorite -- the Georgia GymDogs have won the last three NCAA titles and are ranked #1 based on their scores from the season.


Though Georgia is competing without its star junior, Courtney Kupets, and Alabama is without Kupet's 2004 Olympic teammate Terin Humphrey, there will be plenty of great gymnastics on display.

2000 Olympian Tasha Schwikert will be competing for UCLA in her final NCAAs, as will the two-time all-around runner-up, Utah's Ashley Postell. Liz Tricase (Stanford), Grace Taylor (Georgia), Courtney McCool (Georgia), Kristina Baskett (Utah), Hollie Vise (Oklahoma) and many more will all make this meet a very exciting one to watch.

You can catch prelims video on the Georgia website, and the team finals will be on CBS May 10.
