QUOTE OF THE DAY
On Feelings Throughout Meet...
 "It was a flashback for me to my first couple of years here. We relied heavily on the second half in our tumbling and passes. Cleanliness in our tumbling in the first couple of years was a strong suit. We are a young team now, so the next time you see us, we will be better in the first half. We took some risks today and threw some stuff in the toss event. I never count Oregon out. They are a good team and even better this year, so it was a really fun meet. We knew if we could land and keep it on the mat, we would be good to go. We knew we had a really good shot at winning."
