FROM THE LOCKER ROOM
"I couldn't have asked for anymore today. That is the team that I know that we have. I believe these girls are very excited for what they did, and they are still hungry for more. I couldn't be prouder of the work they have put in. We talked a lot this week about one event at a time. You must put your vault hat on, then take it off and go to bars, and then to beam and floor. We must make sure that we bring that to each meet, and I think that it was great to start out vault the way that we did. Our goal is to have every kid have a 9.7 average across the board, which is a 194. That way when we have those scores of a 9.750 or 9.825 it just continues to showcase what we have been working on." – Brittney Emmons, BGSU gymnastics head coach
