This is the second of three straight weeks that the GymDogs will compete at the Gas South Arena. Georgia hosted its last two home meets of the season in Duluth due to repairs requiring immediate attention in Stegeman Coliseum. Then next week the GymDogs will be back in Duluth for the SEC Championship at the Gas South Arena.

DULUTH — Minnesota K-pop fans' eyes just about popped out of their sockets recently when a digital flier for a spring tour by the massively popular band Tomorrow X Together, or TXT, had the group playing cities including Seoul, Taipei, Los Angeles and Duluth.

While locals gasped for breath, fans beyond the Northland were befuddled. "Guys I’m dying," wrote one Twitter user. "Why is txt going to Duluth, Minnesota??"

"TXT announcing a duluth minnesota tour date before a chicago one what if this was my last straw," wrote a frustrated fan in the Windy City.

From the Pacific Northwest: "AINT NO WAY TXT GOING TO DULUTH MINNESOTA BEFORE SEATTLE WASHINGTON."

What made the shock all the greater was that the Duluth stand spans two dates: May 19 and 20. Washington, D.C. gets one show, while Duluth gets two.

"I literally love the idea of hit kpop boyband txt being in Duluth minnesota for two entire days that is so funny," wrote someone who tweets as @smallreplica.

The thrill for Minnesota fans, and the shock for everyone else, didn't last long: a more detailed tour itinerary clarified that the Duluth in question is the city in Georgia.

While Georgia's Duluth is smaller than Minnesota's (32,000 to our 86,000) and we're generally the better-known city, the Peach State Duluth happens to be just 23 miles northeast of Atlanta.

Duluth, Georgia, is home to the inelegantly named Gas South Arena, where TXT will in fact be playing two dates in May. Northland fans will either have to hop a plane or wait indefinitely for their chance to see the boy band who share a label with BTS.

Other people who are taking the stage in Duluth — but not our Duluth — include Bryan Adams, Sam Smith and the 2023 graduates of Gwinnett Technical College. On the other hand, both Duluths regularly host the Harlem Globetrotters. If you want to pass any other big acts our way, Georgia, we're wide open.

DULUTH, Ga. — The No. 18 University of Georgia gymnastics team had three athletes finish with the top scores of their events but ultimately fell to No. 17 Arkansas, 197.150-196.875, on Sunday afternoon at Gas South Arena in Duluth.

Georgia's (6-10, 1-6 SEC) Katie Finnegan and JaFree Scott tied with Arkansas' (4-7, 2-5 SEC) Maddie Jones for the top score in bars, while Soraya Hawthorne claimed the highest score on floor for the third time in her career.

"It's been a crazy week, changing venues from a home meet to a semi-home meet in Duluth," said head coach Courtney Kupets Carter. "We were really glad we could make that change and still be in the state of Georgia, not far from campus. During the warmup, we had to make a few changes to our lineup, with one athlete getting a slight injury today. We'll check her out and see what's going on. But I loved how the team rallied around that. Having to make those changes and get those athletes in, I thought they responded well. Katie (Finnegan), JaFree (Scott), and Naya (Howard) all had career high scores on bars which was great for us and allowed us to carry that momentum. We are continuing to build confidence, we've had to make several changes. We want them to not only make their routine but feel comfortable and confident."

Beginning on vault, the GymDogs tallied a team total of 48.850. Naya Howard finished with a team-best 9.825 on the rotation, followed by seniors Haley de Jong and Amanda Cashman each tallying a 9.775. Katie Finnegan and Josie Angeny rounded out the team's total with 9.750 and 9.725, respectively.

The GymDogs then tied its season high on bars (49.475), led by freshman JaFree Scott and junior Katie Finnegan each setting career highs, both with a 9.950. Howard added a score of 9.925, with Cashman beginning the rotation for Georgia with a 9.800 and de Jong anchoring with a 9.850. Finnegan and Scott each earned the event title with their scores.

Transitioning into beam, the GymDogs added a score of 49.175 to its total. Howard started the rotation with a 9.825, which was then matched by Soraya Hawthorne. Sidney Fitzgerald followed the two, posting a 9.800 in her second career routine, a new best. Angeny and Deniz each finished with a 9.850, with de Jong anchoring a 9.825.

Heading into the final rotation, the Razorbacks held a narrow lead over the GymDogs, 147.925-147.500. Eryn Williams and Howard began the floor rotation for Georgia, both with scores of 9.850. Cashman tallied a 9.875, while de Jong earned a 9.850, her highest in the event since the Metroplex Challenge on Feb. 11. Hawthorne anchored and finished the meet, receiving her season-best score of 9.950 for the fifth time this year.

Georgia will conclude its regular season with senior day against No. 4 Michigan on Friday, March 10 at 7 p.m. ET at Gas South Arena in Duluth.
