Amber has really turned into a leader for us this season. She has really taken it up a notch this year. They really push each other, and both are really clean gymnasts. It's hard for the judges to take anything away from them. |
Athlete-wise, I have a great group of kids who are having a lot of fun and are very respectful of the MVC. What is happening with this (possible dissolution of the MVC), it comes down to politics. |
I told them we couldn't do anything about it. They did the best they can. We knew after the beam we had to take a little time to step back and take a deep breath. We knew to win this meet would be hard. Was it possible? Hell yes. |
She (Courtney) started with a press handstand, and had a very solid routine. I expected her score to be higher. They are scoring extremely tough and I am not prepared for that. We're used to getting the 9.0s. |
There are two meets that count (sectional and state), and this isn't one of them. Sure this is a confidence builder, but you want to beat the champions at the championship meet. |
We haven't peaked yet. They (Holmen) have more depth than we do, but you only need four scores. We have scored a 141.25 this year, so these kids are certainly capable. |
