People are always asking why she doesn't do more, but she struggles to do what she is doing now. It's commendable for her. Her passion to be a college gymnast far exceeds her fears.
We vaulted the best we have vaulted and probably ... had one of the best (floor) performances of the year. The debacle on bars and beam really cost us.
This was a high-scoring meet in relationship to the first seven outings. I thought the judges tonight were very in tune with college scoring. We let it slip away. Hopefully this season doesn't slip away.
We didn't know much about Sac State, well now we do. They are very good. ... They are certainly going to be a challenge in the WAC.
No, it doesn't (feel like we had our highest score). And I think the girls feel like that, also. I thought they competed very, very well tonight, (but) we just weren't as sharp as I would have expected to be. We still need to work on our landings on vault. We work on it every day.
We are all pretty disappointed. Not in the loss to Sac. State, but the appearance of an untrained team.
It's an opportunity to erase the disappointments of this year. ... It certainly would be nice to win it.
I do believe these two are going to be successful in this regional meet. I know they are excited about going, but also extremely disappointed that the team is not with them.
But, then again, we had a break on floor. It was just a little bit untidy. We almost finished the meet off. It could have been (a great meet) with a couple more floor routines a little more solid, and a couple more bar routines a little more solidly performed.
Their loyalties to the program, their passion for the sport, they can't leave it as unfinished business after what transpired this last year. It shows the type of character these young ladies have.
