athletes believe bought came counted experience fall fight finish heart knew national program seven shows since tremendous yesterday
Our experience came into play. With seven national championships in the program it makes the athletes believe in the system. They bought in since Day 1. Even if we didn't get first, we would still be winners. We had a tremendous finish on beam. We knew we had to hit. We counted a fall but after yesterday it shows the fight and heart of this team.
finals hard last national nice shows takes team title total tougher win winning
It was a total team effort. Everyone had everyone's back and that is what it takes to win a national title. It's nice to get off No. 7 because the title is not a given. Rutgers didn't even make it to the finals after winning last year. That shows how hard it is to just make the finals. With the parity, it is getting tougher and tougher.
bars blocks caught difficulty events extremely far good legs looked proud routines start strong three training watered
We had three strong events today. We looked good on vault, bars and beam. On floor, the training caught up to us. Our legs weren't there. I am extremely proud of the way we competed out of the blocks to start the season. We still have a long way to go. We watered down some routines as far as difficulty and skill.
domino easy impressed leadership mistakes potential
The potential is very good. I am impressed with the leadership on and off the floor. It is easy to let little mistakes domino but we didn't let it happen.
