VoIP has really changed the way we do business.
ahead alabama although bars beam best defeat girls happy looking needed next performance pleased vault
We are very pleased with tonight's performance. Although vault and bars weren't the best we've done this season, I was very happy with the way they rebounded on beam and floor. I think the girls may have been looking ahead to next week's rematch with Alabama and not really concentrating on the performances needed to defeat Illinois-Chicago.
best compete proved teams
We really proved a point. We can compete with the best teams in the country.
finish help technology train
I would like to finish strong. I use technology to help me train correctly.
beam best bumped finals finished julie last season similar solid vault year
Julie finished similar to how she did last year at the championships, where she was bumped from the finals at the end. She's just been solid for us on beam all season long and I thought her vault was the best vault she's ever done.
control cruise glad julie
Julie Dwyer is on cruise control right now and we are glad we have her on our team.
best close hang level loses maybe nobody skill team wants worry
Nobody over there wants to be on the first team that loses to us again. We know we'll get their best lineup. We've got the skill level to hang with them and make it close in the end. When you can make them worry about being the first to lose to Auburn in like 85 contests, maybe that will play to our advantage.
best caught good meets proud team vault won year youth
We had a good start. We had our best vaults of the year and we won the vault as a team tonight. I'm really proud of our team in the event. Unfortunately, our youth and inexperience in big meets caught up to us tonight.
confidence consistency determined few greater knew matter past self time turned weeks
We knew it was just a matter of time before Lindsey got her first all-around victory. She has been super-consistent over the past few weeks and that consistency has turned into greater self confidence and a more determined will to win.
against approach competing harder last matter routines weekend
It's the same as last weekend and the weekend before. It doesn't matter who we're competing against because our routines are the same. That's the approach I want them to take. It shouldn't feel harder because it's Georgia. It's the same routine they do every day in the gym.
bruce good job played steve stop team
Steve Wells did a real good job defensively. We played a real good team game. That's kind of how you like to see us. They couldn't stop Bruce inside.
everybody fresh inches positive sure team
We're going to taper down a bit. Make sure everyone has fresh legs. It's going to be all positive and encouraging. We're going to need everybody at state. We feel like this team can do it. We're just inches away.
couple kids looked stepped
We wrestled well. The kids looked great. A couple of JV kids stepped in and wrestled well.
nice studios together
When everyone is working in their studios you don't really see what they are working on. So it's nice to see everything come together like this.
