From the Coach
"Tomorrow is another opportunity for this team," said head coach Kim Landrus. "We've been building in each meet, never letting an 'off' performance or event rattle us. It's important that we approach the Ohio State tri-meet with that same mentality. As a team we always talk about what we are going to bring to the competition floor. Tomorrow it's important we bring tight minded gymnastics and continue the contagious energy that we had on floor Friday night."
