STRAIGHT FROM THE PACK: HEAD COACH KIM LANDRUS
"I'm just super proud that it was our season high. Before the meet we talked about how today was going to be a celebration, and it's time to celebrate right now! They just kept on rolling and got off to a great start on vault. Kudos to all of our seniors; they've meant so much to the program. Today was a total team effort. It was everything that we've talked about. 'One heart' was our theme today, and I really just felt the love all around."
