The typical UGA responses will contain Herschel (obviously), a few other football players, and perhaps Dominique Wilkins.
However, Teresa Edwards HAS to be on the list. She was a two-time All-American, led the team to two Final Fours, and went on to four Olympic gold medals.
Spec Towns came to UGA on a football scholarship, but he was the first Georgian to be on an Olympic team (1936) where he won the gold, and he twice held the world record. He then coached the track team until 1975.
Courtney Kupets also HAS to be on the list. She won nine individual NCCA gymnastics championships, was on championship teams, and medaled at the Olympics and the World Games.
