On thoughts of the team's first intrasquad of the season
"I saw a lot of potential and I feel like we are very prepared. We looked really clean in all of our passes and we're very confident in what we're doing. Our two freshman did their routines in all four events today and did very well under pressure. Overall, today was really impressive."
On preparation for competition season
"We're still conditioning a lot, and are pushing through everyday to get better. We're really focusing on our skills and routines in preparation for January, and are all excited that the season is almost here."
NC State will open its season Jan. 9 when it faces Penn State on the road. The meet is set for a 4 p.m. start time.
