FROM THE LOCKER ROOM
"Today was an amazing experience. The last couple days leading up to today, working with everyone who has a touch in this program making sure that this meet ran as well as it went, it has been great to see that camaraderie piece come together. Being at home has that charm and sparkle to it, and it was exciting to see that in the athletes' eyes. This being the second year with all our home meets in the Stroh, that is a piece we will continue to build from." – Brittney Emmons, BGSU gymnastics head coach
