From the Coaches Perspective:
"I was disappointed in the way the meet went," said head coach Mark Stevenson. "Our top three had nice routines, but we struggled in the bottom half of our lineup. We've replaced 14 of our starting rotation in the past 10 days and it was a first-time challenge for a lot of our girls and you could see that today. We had the energy, but we weren't 100-percent successful. We've got four starters out, but we had the chance to let some of our depth compete. We'll get back in the gym and get back to work."
