Straight from the Pack: Head Coach Kim Landrus
"As a team, I think today we saw some nerves come out in ways that I haven't seen in practice. As much as you simulate competition, it's never quite the same until you actually salute to the judge. I am confident that we will get better from this experience.
We will go back in the gym and continue to fine tune our routines and increase our depth on each event. This is only the first week, and I am excited to see how they will bounce back from today and use it as fuel for the future."
