Straight from the Pack: Head Coach Kim Landrus
"The meet had several highlights from beginning to end. The bar squad started the team off strong with a season high performance. Maggie's routine was one of the best she has done in her career. After her routine, each gymnast kept the momentum going and swung aggressively. I was really proud of them as they truly came together as a unit.

"After a rough beam performance, I gathered the team together and said that they could go one of two directions right now. We talked about finishing strong and how the meet was far from over. I was happy with the way they bounced back and put together season-highs on both floor and vault."
