From UGA Athletics...
Georgia gymnast Tiffany Tolnay earned four All-America honors at the NCAA Championships on Thursday to tie the school record.
Tolnay finished her career as a 16-time All-American, matching the standard set by Agina Simpkins from 1992-95. Tolnay earned First-Team honors in the all-around and on vault and floor, and she was Second Team on beam.

On Friday's first session of the NCAAs, Kupets won the all-around with a score of 39.8 and Tolnay was second with a 39.5. Kupets also won on beam (with a 10.0) bars and floor. Tolnay was second on floor.

I think someone at the UGA Sports Communications slipped up when he or she wrote that Kupets earned all America honors in all five categories on Friday since, well, it's Thursday.
