From the Locker Room
"This week we had a team meeting and talked about being together. Everybody was focused in. We watched the part of the movie "Miracle" when they were unfocused and not as disciplined. You could feel that energy and I told them anything can happen in your season. You can turn things around at any point. The team was the focus today. They really showed up for that. Even when we had some mistakes on beam, they didn't let that fluster them. They went to floor all in. All the energy was put into the athlete competing. It makes such a difference. I am really proud of the effort they made. You could see the change in them." – Kerrie Turner, BGSU gymnastics head coach
