From the Coach
"Today was a total team effort," said head coach Kim Landrus. "Looking back, there were so many highlights. I was super impressed how we started off on bars. The bar team had a high level of composure and set the tone for the entire competition. From there, we just kept taking it one routine at a time, one event at a time. I saw that we were in a zone. We always talk about 'being us' and today all of them carried out this motto.
This team keeps growing and getting better each meet. Championship season is upon us. Today was a great performance. The exciting thing is, this team knows there is still room to grow and improvements that can be made. We look forward to continuing to build upon our successes thus far."
