A lot of teams have one star. It's the people underneath that make the difference. The high school environment is about supporting each other. It's not just about one person. They're all working really well together so far. |
I'm happy with what they did today. We're at the highest level we've ever been. |
It's the deepest team we've ever had. It will be tough juggling that lineup, but that's our part of the job. |
She did a great job today. We threw in some skills last minute, and she went for everything. We've got places for her even if she finished fourth and she knows she can fix some things, so she's just going to go from where she's at. |
She had good bonus highs, which are important. She dances and she plays it up to the crowd. |
She's doing things she didn't do until the middle of October last year. I think it's going to be a great year for her. |
She's really motivated by the team format, and that makes her so much more valuable on her high school team. I think her gymnastics peak in time for the high school season. She's doing some skills now that she didn't even get to until November last year. |
That's going to be a strength for us. They want to do it for every other girl out there. It's not just about doing it for themselves. You don't always get a group of girls who are willing to do that. |
They know they're right there. We still have skills to throw in and we have a level to go up on bars. We have room to go up and things to add in. |
We are not maxed out. We definitely have skills to add and things to polish. It's a long road to November. |
We'll just keep working hard. We have to put more skills into our routines. I feel like we're strong, but the whole state is strong. We can be the best we've ever been, but we can't control what the judges do and what the other teams do. We just have to be our best. |
We're concentrating on continuing to better ourselves. You want to win over another team, but there's nothing you can do to stop them. We have to focus on improving ourselves. |
