The NCAA introduced Women’s Gymnastics as a championship sport in 1982. Since then, only four different universities have claimed the overall Division I championship; Division II competition was discontinued in 1987. During the early years of competition, the University of Utah under the leadership of head coach Greg Marsden dominated the field of competition. During the late 1980s and 1990s, the University of Georgia (UGA), coached by Suzanne Yoculan, and the University of Alabama, coached by Sarah Patterson, gained success and claimed several titles. Since 1997, UCLA, coached by Valorie Kondos Field, and UGA have both claimed five titles, including back-to-back titles in 2003 and 2004 for UCLA followed by three straight UGA titles in 2005, 2006 and 2007.
