FROM COACH TURNER

"The team really stayed together today and I can see the chemistry building. This road meet was such an improvement from our first one. While we had some mistakes, we also made some improvements. If we can maintain the character and unity I saw from the team today and match it with the gymnastics we are showing in training, we will continue to see big improvements and growth. We look forward to using the positives and getting ready for our next meet."
