HEAR FROM THE BENCH

Coach Welker on tonight's performance...

"I was pleased with our performance tonight, lots of improvement and great energy! We had contributions from so many people tonight. Our beam team did another solid job and is ranked #2 in the country. We were aggressive on vault tonight and competed some upgrades there. They weren't as clean as we wanted but will certainly pay off as we move through our season. Amari Celestine and Jocelyn Moore had impressive nights along with Sienna Schreiber in the all-around. We do need to clean up landings to maximize our ability and reach the team goals we are capable this year. I am excited for our ladies; they are doing great so far and have much room for improvement!"

EVENT WINNERS

Beam – Sienna Schreiber (9.900), Helen HU (9.900)
