They had an opportunity, starting strong and ending with an intensity that will only help us continue to build confidence.  The environment was intense, and I was really proud of the way we stayed in the ‘Bama bubble’ and focused on what we needed to do to close out this meet. This was a great step for us to finish like this under pressure on balance beam. The best part is we still have so much room for improvement and our ladies know it and are determined to put in the work to continue to build the character of this team.”
