Aubrey was simply unbelievable tonight. She hurt her shoulder on Wednesday and it was questionable whether she would be able to compete. |
I am really pleased with the level of gymnastics we are doing and where we are in this point of the season. |
I basically have designed the team to be ready for the postseason. We could be going a little easier, but we're doing some very difficult gymnastics. |
I feel better about the high 195. That's a really good score around the country. |
I really didn't know what to expect, but I'm pleasantly surprised. The freshmen are really starting to gain confidence, and the upperclassmen are showing them the way. |
I'm very proud of Aubrey. That girl is just so competitive. She answered the call. |
If she had done the floor routine she'd done last week she would have gotten a 9.8, but we needed her to do this routine when we get to postseason. She had a little bit of a problem (at the end), and she is so competitive, she is not happy with herself. That's kind of good. I expect her to come back with a vengeance next week. |
It's nice to come out and have a great meet in front of our fans. I want Tucson to know we have a great team and a great product. |
She's a great competitor. She has ice running through her veins. |
They're no different than any other athlete. There was no momentum at that point. The team could have deflated itself, and it didn't. When she hit that vault, that was huge. |
To come within three-tenths of a point to the No. 2 team in the country is something to be very proud of. Florida is a great team, and now we know where we stack up. |
We are really working on the perfecting part of the sport. Sometimes it takes months to fine-tune. |
What makes me so proud is that those whose names are honored have gone on to such good things. They are so much more than gymnasts. |
When you are putting out a competitive lineup, it's like painting a picture for the judges. |
